Eat Your Way to Healthy Skin: The Best Anti-Aging Foods
It’s true that your skin’s youthful radiance comes from within. What you put into your body certainly has an impact
Is The Clean Beauty Movement a Fad?
Many buzzwords are being thrown around in the beauty industry and consumers are often confused by what they mean. Clean

This is my favorite natural skincare where the ingredients are absolutely natural and free of nasties. As a Brightening and Protection skincare, this Radiance Defense Serum works really well for my oily / combination skin. It feels light on the skin but it moisturizes the skin very well. It wont clog your pores or make you break out.
Min Kwok –
I love how using it religiously for the past week has illuminated my complexion. I am very prone to hyperpigmentation due to my fair skin, so the serum helped to lighten any dark spots. It also acts as a hydrating base for my make-up and gives me a dewy look!
Dawn –
Product was well packaged and it was a luxurious item to me. It was easy to pump out the product, and all three products (Luxury, Defence and Hair Repair & Shine) were very well scented.
Jody –
I have to applaud Sage & Ylang for finding the perfect balance for the texture of this serum, being a day oil serum, the texture is akin to that of the finish a light cream moisturizer would give. It doesn’t feel oily, blends well into the skin and doesn’t affect the texture of the sunscreen and makeup I layer on top.
Rachel –
I really love it. Leaves my skin feeling really light and smooth. Plus I love the smell ! https://youtu.be/MzrcDT8Gcns
Cecilia Kwan –
I notice changes to my face after applying the serum 2 times daily after toner. My face looks radiant and evenly toned, after the serum application; followed by moisturiser, sunscreen, foundation. I love the fragrance too!
Evekyn Tan –
I was just sharing with a friend to get your oils because they work (and within such a short period of time)! My complexion has evened out and seems brighter. And the oil is not bothersome at all!
Tsui Ling –
I like both the Radiance Luxury and Radiance Defence. After using, I see fewer pimples and can tell that they are natural ingredients coz I am very sensitive to fragrances.
Michelle –
Amazing results on my cheeks with pigmentation. They have lightened significantly after just two months of use. Apart from that, my friends commented that my skin is like that of a baby now. I should have taken pictures of the amazing transformation ! Thank you Sage and Ylang !
Janette Francis Wong –
Thank you Sage and Yang for your wonderful products. I personally love the smell of both Radiance Defence and Radiance Luxury. Applying them on my face helps me feel calm and confident. With them I know that my skin is getting the nourishment it needs. It is not oily and as it get absorbed fairly quick. In merely three days I could already see and feel the difference, receiving comments that my face looks clearer and brighter. I will recommend this to my friends and family ????
Melanie –
This day serum is moisturizing without being too oily and is great for applying under my makeup! In combination with Radiance Luxury (my absolute favorite skincare product!), the tightening and smoothing effect is almost immediately visible! Try it and pretty soon you’ll stop having to use concealer!
Patricia –
Tried these samples and I absolutely love it. Unbelievably, Ive noticed my face become firmer just applying it for one night! After finishing the samples, I noticed that there are significant improvements. My skin is brighter and smoother compared to before. Love the way my skin feels now and have bought the full size to continue using it.
Tina Nguyen –
I love this brightening serum! I have oily skin with a dry T zone and was initially a bit skeptical about using an oil-based product on my skin. However, I found that the serum absorbs very quickly and I noticed almost immediately that my skin was firmer and healthier than before, and that the dryness had disappeared! I am so impressed by Irene’s passion for her skincare products and the careful research that she has invested in formulating them. Wonderful job! ??
Danette –
Love this serum! Initially I am not very keen to use oil serum because it sounds oily to me especially in such hot weather. However, after I tried the samples, I can really see the improvement of my skin. My dark spots are getting brighter and my skin is nourished and moisturised. I can also walk confidently under the hot sun knowing that there is a layer of protection underneath the sunblock I applied. Do not mistaken this serum as your daily sunblock :)). It is not a sunblock but it is used below the sunblock for added protection :)) highly recommended!
Michelle –
My skin is refreshed and nourished in the morning! Love it. Thank u for discovering this Irene! It has been a very painstaking journey for you but you are making so much difference! I feel young again!
Cecilia –
I am glad to feedback on your products, the radiance luxury (night repair) and radiance defence serum application for about 8 months to date.
Improvement on my skin texture (esp. I am now almost 70 yrs age):
The serum as the base with add on with moisturiser, coverage with day wear compact powder, gives glow to the face.
Compliment from folks friends that I look beautiful and young.
Very happy to know of your product.

I love this product, best I have used in a long time. My 73yr old skin drinks up the morning (Defence) and the night time (Luxury) serums and I have to say, I use it everyday and I actually feel like I am having a beautiful facial every time I use them. Sadly my wrinkles are here to stay but my skin is smoother and looks more healthy.
Eloise –
I have never been great with my skin but since receiving the Radiance Defence and Radiance Luxury serums, I am making more of an effort. Within a couple of days my husband noticed my skin and that I had more of a glow. He thought I was wearing makeup. I love the serums, what a difference to my skin.
Lisa –
Due to growing up in sunny countries and being so active in outdoor sports, I didn’t wear sunscreen like I should have which has resulted in rather sun damaged skin as much as sunglasses saved my eyes. I have been using the Radiance Defence and Radiance Luxury serums now for 3 months and the difference in my skin is absolutely amazing. Areas of my skin have lightened and even some of the sun blemishes have almost disappeared. My skin is rather dehydrated and I have noticed how my skin is so much more brighter, more of a glowing complexion. My skin looks healthier and I am thrilled to bits that my sun damage blemishes are disappearing. Absolutely recommend the serums.
Malou –
The Radiance and Defense serums did wonder to lighten up my dark spots and balance my previously oily skin. I notice that my skin looks healthier and radiant especially when I just wake up. Moreover, I like the passion and commitment of the owners to develop a clean product like this. I came across this brand at a fair, and the husband and wife team patiently showed me how to use the product to get the best effects. I find that combining the serums with a good essence really helps in making it more absorbent and in a way, make me use less product with the same result. Highly recommended!
Narelle –
Irene has the best service! She will chat with you and provide a skin consultation and then recommend boosters in addition to the essence. You can add up to 2 boosters to treat your skin. The option to customise is great!
Ivy Teo –
I have been using Sage and Ylang Microbiome products for few weeks now, and it always helps to calm down my inflammation. I believe with continuous use of the products i will achieve better skin.
Yvonne Ku –
The radiance series is very good, my dark spots have lightened up so much!
Migle –
I absolutely recommend brightening night repair serum! After a few uses, my skin felt hydrated, brighter and it is looking much better! I use it every night and it is my favourite all time serum!
Lydia –
Defense is such a game changer to my daytime routine!
Ethel –
I am not used to using oils on my face, however, using Radiance Defense and Radiance Luxury was very easy to incorporate to my skincare routine because of it’s light texture – there was not oily or sticky feel after applying. I love it! My face feels SO MUCH MORE PLUMP and hydrated with these oils 🙂
Annette –
I have been using S&Y skin care products for almost 3 years now. I had a positive experience with their radiance serums and beauty boosters. My skin has become healthier, glowy, and radiant as a result. I highly recommend S&Y products to everyone!
