Omorovicza Silver Skin Saviour
The season of Spring is often the time when you feel the aftermath of the often dry winter. The good thing is that we’ve recently discovered an amazing Hungarian brand called Omorovicza from our favorite website Joyce Beauty. The Silver Skin Saviour that’s priced at HKD $795 for 50ml is like a miracle in a mini package. This overnight mask for blemish-prone skin targets the underlying skin problems. By clarifying and brightening with glycolic acid, new skin cells will be revealed. It unclogs pores and reduces the production of oil, leaving your skin feeling soft. They also have some awesome travel kits that are great gifts for friends and family or get it for yourself for those long holidays away.
Top Tip: Lather an ample amount on the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Let it sit for five minutes on first use and increase to ten to fifteen minutes for subsequent uses, depending on skin sensitivity. To remove, wipe the lather off gently using a warm, damp mitt or face cloth. Make sure to use it once a week for soft, glowing, clear skin! For more details, visit
