My Honest Review of Melange Korea’s Brightening Facial + Red & Blue LED Treatment

If you have sensitive or rosacea-prone skin, you’ll know the struggle: most facials promise “glow,” but can easily leave your skin red, irritated, or worse—flaring up for days. That’s exactly why I was both curious and cautious when I visited Melange Korea for their Brightening Facial paired with Red & Blue LED Light Therapy.

Here’s my full, honest experience—from consultation to results.

✨ First Impressions: A Luxe Korean Skincare Experience

Located in Plaza Arkadia, the space feels polished and aesthetic—very much in line with the K-beauty “glass skin” concept. The environment is calm, bright, and feel like a premium skincare escape.

Melange Korea positions itself as a Korean skincare-focused salon offering advanced facials aimed at rejuvenation, hydration, and brightening.

I went to Melange Korea at Plaza Arkadia, Desa Park City and tried out the services below:

Vita-C Quenching Facial Experience at Murad 1 Utama

I love to pamper my skin with facial at least once a month. It is a very important skincare rituals, and it's indeed the best way to take care of our delicate skin by the professional.

My skin became dull and uneven skin tone due to stress recently. Hence I have decided to visit Murad beauty saloon at 1 Utama(New Wing) to check out their facial treatments. Murad is my trusted skin care brand, hence I am confident to try out what they have to offer for my skin.

I made the appointment by called to the saloon. They reminded me a day before the facial appointment. When I made my visit, the beauty advisor first examined my skin with their device. She then recommended me Vita-C Quenching Facial. Infuses The Skin With Vitamin-C Using Ultrasonic Waves To Drastically Brighten, Smooth, Hydrate, And Reveal A More Radiant-Even Skin Tone.

As we know, Vitamin-C is a powerful antioxidant that can help manage the two ways skin ages: genetically (a.k.a. the natural aging process) and environmentally (including UVA/UVB rays, blue light from devices, pollution, smoking and a poor diet that stress your skin and accelerate damage).

Both genetic and environmental aging show as hyperpigmentation (think dark spots, age spots, or brown spots), dullness, lines, wrinkles and loss of firmness. The benefits of Vitamin-C in skincare include preventing visible skin damage like hyperpigmentation, dullness and uneven tone, and diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Vitamin-C if applied directly onto the skin, struggles to penetrate deep below the surface of the skin to repair and renew skin cells. That's why Murad's Vita-C Quenching Facial uses an ultrasonic facial device that helps deliver Vitamin-C deep below the skin surface to maximize cellular turnover and benefits the skin by reversing the damage done to your skin.

[Facial Review] TNS Skin Lab Facial Spa & Showroom

I’m a beauty junkie that would go for facial every month. Facial is an essential beauty rituals for me not only to nourish my skin but also to relax my mind and soul.

I have noticed the newly opened TNS Skin Lab Facial Spa & Showroom on TNS Skin Lab's instagram account last year. Since I am a fans of the brands and products that TNS Skin Lab brings to us, I decided to give TNS Skin Lab Facial Spa a try not long after the CNY festive. My skin was really tired and dull due to the late night gatherings during CNY celebrations and hence I needed a facial treatment badly.

Located at Wisma Rapid, Desa Sri Hartamas (Nearby Souled Out Hartamas), there were plenty of car parks available during my visit on a weekday's afternoon. I took the lift to the 3rd floor where TNS Skin Lab Facial Spa & Showroom located. Once stepped into the showroom, I can see the neat and tidy showroom that display all the products from different brands that are exclusively available at TNS Skin Lab.

I was served with a cup of tea while filled in the customer form upon arrival. The therapist has also tried to analyse my skin type to decide what facial should I go for. Not long later, I was led to the private room for my facial treatment.

The therapist started the facial with double deep cleanse with Clarisonic, and then she used a 'face vacuum' for exfoliation and extraction, followed with gentle facial and shoulder massage, apply face mask and the finishing treatments routine. My skin was nourished and it glows from within after the treatment, love it!

The Celebrity Facial @ Ceramiracle’s The Aesthetics Salon

Good news to all of the beauty junkie! Ceramiracle, the award-winning beauty and nutricosmetics brand founded in 2016, recently made an exciting entrance into Malaysia. We felt honoured and excited to visit Ceramiracle flagship beauty salon in TTDI not long ago. Ceramiracle is a renowned California–based company specializes in innovative ageless skincare solutions, comprising oral and topical skincare products as well as an exclusive facial treatment experience.

Just sharing with you some background about Ceramiracle. In 1991, the founder, Eugene He found himself surrounded by babies when his mother became a nanny. While the shenanigans of the little ones created a chaotic wave of din, Eugene was constantly fascinated by the amazing sight and feel of a newborn’s soft and smooth flawless skin. This was the beginning of his passion-driven journey in unraveling mother nature’s gift of perfect skin to babies. This drive of his stems from one focus in mind – to help men and women achieve younger, healthier and more radiant skin.

It's quite interesting to know that the brand is founded by a young guy, right. ;) It proves that beauty is not limited to gender. So we paid a visit to Ceramiracle in TTDI on a sunny afternoon. As usual, the TTDI business district is fulled of cars hence we had drove a round to find a car park. Then, we walked towards the salon accordingly.

We were greeted by the friendly staffs and offered a seat at The Ageless Café which is at a corner of the salon. We love the sun-filled, airy spaced Ageless Café , they serve over 20 all-organic brews boasting herbs, fruits, tea leaves and coffee beans sourced from all over the world to deliver the double benefits of beauty and wellness. The relaxing ambience cool us down after the walk under the warm weather.

From there, he ventured into learning more about facial treatment techniques and went as far as flying to Singapore to study at the London Research Center.

The story continues today with the opening of more outlets, including their very first flagship store in Malaysia opening in November 2017. I have visited the brand new flagship store which is huge, clean and professional.

In this special month of May, why not pamper our mom with the special Natasha Mother’s Day package.

[Facial Review] Fire & Ice Facial @ Sliq Clinic, Oasis Square

I heard about Sliq clinic from my blogger friends that it provides good treatments and services hence I always wanted to check it out. I finally had made a reservation and visit it few weeks ago, yay!

Sliq clinic is located at Oasis Square, nearby Saujana Subang area. It was my first time at Oasis Square and I find that the car park is easy and cheap there.

Once I stepped into Sliq clinic, I was greeted by the beautiful and friendly staffs. The Sliq Clinic has great atmosphere where I feel it’s really cool. They had sofas and chairs for the patients and guests, so I think it’s ok to bring your friends along when visiting.

The staff offered me a 3D scan Skin analysis using the latest 3D scan machine. The result was out in seconds and I can’t wait to know my skin condition. I was then led to the consultation room where Dr. Steve Chia was waiting for me patiently.

Dr. Steve Chia is a good looking young guy, I adore his fair skin a lot lol. He explained to me the skin analysis results, and sadly my oily skin hasn’t improved much since last time. I have scars on my nose and open pores all over the nose and cheeks area.

Dr Steve recommended me to try the famous Fire and Ice Facial by iS Clinical. I have not tried this facial before but I know about it because it is a hype facial, which is raved by Hollywood celebrities and bloggers around the World. It is the red-carpet SOS facial treatment for many celebrities including Halle Berry.
