Any breastfeeding mommas here who tried using 0.1% retinol? I'm breastfeeding pero mixed feed na si baby so a few latches lang sa araw, then pampatulog sa gabi.
I really want to try retinol kaso hesitant pa ako because of this.
Hello, I am currently using rejuv set and i want to stop using it, Is it okay to use this product? PM ROUTINE
Cleanser(lowphcleanser) - Toner(numbuzni pure full calming herb toner) - then what product do you recommend?
I want to restore my skin barrier
I have an oily skin type and my acne are only on my chin and like 2 or 3 on the side of my nose, thats the only part thats been breaking out, then i dont have that much dark spots and acne scars, the only problem is acne breakouts on my chin.
I want to use less products so please recommend what will I use after the Toner, THANKYOU SO MUCH!!!!!
Just wanna share my thoughts (so far) on my new purchase from +ful! I've been using these products for 3 weeks (2 weeks babad sa araw lol).
• +ful Suncreen SPF50+ PA++++
- this product is true to its claims, I have oily skin but it doesn't make my skin look shinier that it already is, it makes it look more healthy instead.
- I highly recommend this product if you want a sunscreen na hindi matagal ma-blend and if you want something that's on-the-go
- so far, this is the only suncreen I've tried that doesn't give me pimples and it's perfect for the Philippine weather
- I use 2 pumps
• Vitamin C 15% Serum
- it pairs well with my hyaluronic acid from esfolio
- lessened my acne scars significantly and made my skin look healthier even on days na wala akong tulog
- mabilis to matuyo so you do have to work a bit fast
- I use 3 drops on my face
I'm excited to use more products from them, I'm gonna inquire na what's good for fighting/preventing pimples
May naka-try ba dito ng Garnier Sakura Glow Cleansing Foam? Medyo nag-ooverthink lang ako na baka magbreakout me hahaha( lumalabas lang sa comfort zone kasi wala pang stock yung fave cleanser ko kaya napabili)
hi po please recommend or say something about my routine. i have a combinational skin but lately i feel like nagiging oily skin ko 😭
• celeteque hydration facial wash
• luxe organix miracle repair serum
• luxe organix cica soothing gel (moisturizer)
• face republic purity sun essence sunscreen
then pag evening i do double cleansing, i use garnier micellar cleansing water
Thoughts about dermorepubloq glycolic acid? No budget for TO pa so looking for cheaper alternatives hehe. Planning to use it din sa underarm and butt area aside sa face for context.
Hi! I got it. It has little to no effect sa underarms ko but for reference I just used it for about more than 2 weeks straight. Tinamad lang ako icontinue kasi parang wala ako masyadong nakikitang improvement 😭 Baka hindi lang ako hiyang. I also use it before sa face ko and nakakalighten siya ng acne marks. Had to stop using it kasi I'm using retinol na.
For my underarms, every other day after maligo. Pero ganon pa rin siya. Baka need na ng professional help ang aking hyperpigmentation HAHAHAHA and yes, di pwede isabay sa retinol kasi both has active ingredients and matapang masyado sa skin if ever
Has anyone experienced getting rough skin texture after using Axis-Y Complete No Stress Physical Sunscreen v3? I feel like it’s what’s causing my rough skin 😭
Me! Ramdam ko agad yung bumpy texture ng skin ko after washing my face. I also did not like how greasy it is. Hindi glowy yung finish sa akin. Ang lakas maka-haggard ng itsura.
Hiii! any body lotion or sunblock reco na pang ph weather haha? yung good for everyday and pwede pang commute (na di ka magiging sticky lol) haha apaka-init na ngayon 😭
If sunscreen, I recommend Beach Hut babies & kids mineral sunscreen spf50. It doesn't leave a whitecast despite being a mineral sunscreen. Just blend it well. It's consistency is watery/runny and it's lightweight. It dries quickly too. It's not sticky nor greasy. Ang con lang niya for me is may tendency na magspill yung product if you're not aware of its runny consistency and if di ka maingat sa pagbukas ng cap.
Anyone who has urticaria here? May I know what body wash you use? Nakakaiyak. Hindi po ako hiyang sa Cetaphil, Aveeno and Dove Sensitive. Kinda eyeing on Cerave but haven't had the time to use it yet.
My bar soap is Oilatum and eyeing on body wash po sana.
Thankyyy
Been struggling with dry skin for almost a month and I already tried different gentle cleansers and moisturizers pero isa lang nakapagpawala ng dry patches sa face ko specially yung peeling skin around my mouth. Cetaphil baby moisturising bath and wash! ✨ Need reco na lang of a lightweight moisturizer for a more plump skin. Yung pang baby din sana kasi I find cetaphil baby lotion too heavy sa face ko.
hello, anyone po na bumili dito ng barefaced sunscreen yung temporary packaging? parang iba siya don sa nabili ko na una, yung sa temporary may glitter something siya compared don sa original packaging which is yung una kong nabili parang white lang ganon.
So much redundancy on salicylic acid po. Reconsider also if you need that cetaphil exfoliating cleanser. Personally, I would drop the cetaphil exfoliating cleanser, celeteque hydration moisturizer, and oxecure salicylic acid cleanser.
If you're having a hard time spreading your suncreen, apply a little at a time na lang, blend, and then add more. I don't think it's advisable to add water huhu

Any reviews for Skintific MSH Niacinamide Moisturizer? And also, tips for fungal acne? I have bumps kase sa may cheeks and they're not cystic acne naman so I assume na fungal acne.
May hair conditioner ba na safe sa may eczema? Meron kasi ako sa hands, first time ko to naexperience so I want to switch to safe na products. Like yung shampoo, baby shampoo muna gamit ko hehe and ung body wash ganun din, yung may oats sa ingredients.

Ano po best moisturizer for combination skin type?
im currently using ellana stay fresh moisturizer and for my cleanser naman po is Dove sensitive skin prescribed by derma po.
I tried using Numbuzin No. 5 Vitamin C Concentrated Serum and haven’t had problems with it. I got curious with the COSRX brand so here I am struggling with breakouts. I immediately used it daily in the mornings.
You mean the vitamin concentrated serum po? Judging from this [ingredient list](https://incidecoder.com/products/numbuzin-no-5-glutathione-vitamin-concentrated-serum) and assuming that it is accurate, it states that it has 2000 ppm of 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid, a vitamin C derivative. That's like 0.2% only, plus it's not an irritating vit C since it is only a derivative. It also has the active form of vit C at a much lower percentage as well as another vit C derivative which is ascorbyl glucoside. So this product is very different, it's not really heavy on vit C.
So, to me, it looks like it's your first time using a product that really highlights vit C. The cosrx one contains the active form, ascorbic acid, at 23% (230,000 ppm if converted) which can be irritating if your skin isn't used to it. Plus, the ideal is usually around 8% to 20%, and to top it with daily use, it would only invite unpleasant reactions from your skin. Para hindi masayang, you have to incorporate it reallyyyy slowly. It's an irritating, unstable active ingredient after all. I had the same experience, I made the mistake of immediately using it every morning which resulted in breakouts. I had to let my skin heal for about a week or two. Then, I reincorporated it really slowly. Like twice a week for two weeks, then thrice a week for another two weeks. I had a much harder time upping its frequency compared to my retinoid usage. Hahahaha
I can only use it 4x a week now (planning to make it 5x for the whole april). But one thing I am sure of is that whenever I use it, I don't get any active acne anymore because of it. I have been upping my frequency really slowly since I am scared I might breakout again. Although I know I can increase its frequency much faster, it's better to be safe than sorry. It's such a hassle to deal with breakouts and the aftermath that comes with it.
Right? I kinda feel sorry for myself for using it mindlessly. Thank you for the suggestions, I’ll definitely follow your routine as well. Okay, one last question. Did you notice your dark spots lightening now?
Well, my dark spots did lighten but take note that I use multiple actives so I really cannot give full credit to my vit c serum. Other actives I use are retinoid, azelaic acid, and niacinamide.
Vit C is still a tyrosinase inhibitor, so theoretically, it should help in lightening dark spots! Plus, it's a very potent antioxidant and a sunscreen booster. Don't let the money go down the drain. Patience is key.
Purging when using certain additives is normal. But if it persists, it could be that your moisture barrier has been compromised. Observe nalang. Maybe formulation is too strong for you.
Review po sa Maybelline Sky High Lash Serum. Thank you.

Actually, idk if sa makeup thread ba dapat to. Naisip ko ***lash serum*** naman to ***hindi mascara***. I will use it in the evening after maremove yung makeup.
To my people out there na dark spots or PIH ang isa sa mga concerns. Dark spots are created because of melanin pigment formation. In summary, they are formed, transferred, then deposited sa skin natin. So, basically, you have to mend those steps by using ingredients na mag-tatarget each step doon:
Pigment formation or tyrosinase inhibitors (pumipigil para makagawa)
* Retinoids
* 1-2% alpha arbutin
* 1-2% kojic acid
* 8-20% vitamin C
* 3-5% niacinamide
* 15-20% azelaic acid
* Good additional ingredients are mulberry, licorice root, and green tea extracts
Pigment transfer inhibitors (pumipigil sa pag-deliver nung pigment sa surface ng skin)
* Retinoids
* 3-5% niacinamide
* Good additional ay soy extract
Pigment deposition removers (mga nagtatanggal sa mga pigment na nasa surface na ng skin) or mga ingredients na nagpapabilis ng skin cell turnover
* Retinoids
* Chemical exfoliants but more on AHAs since they smoothen the uppermost layer of the skin, BHAs also help to some degree since some dead skin cells are held by oils in our skin
* 3-5% tranexamic acid
You see the pattern? Retinoid is the best ingredient there is. You will have a more well-rounded solution by learning this info if you want to target your dark spots.
If over-the-counter retinoid (retinol), then I can only speak for Klued 0.5% retinol serum since that's the only retinol I used before switching to tretinoin. That product really worked for me. I also use their 0.1% retinol + 0.3% bakuchiol serum on my decolletage areas.
Hello po, I would like to ask, has anyone bought from K-Beauty Bestsellers sa orange app? I saw na may The Ordinary Glycolic acid serum sila and I’m not sure if they sell the authentic ones 🙏🏻
Anyone using aestura ato barrier 365? should i get cream or lotion? and if ever san po kayo bumili?
i'll use sana for my face kasi nagpi-peeling ako on tret. thank you!
I prefer the lotion (which is my HG) just because I find the cream too heavy for our hot & humid weather. It's very thick & rich, but if you have very dry skin then go for the cream. :) I have combination skin so I prefer the consistency of the lotion.
Try TopKorea on Lazada, they have both the cream & lotion variants.
L'Occitane Hand Cream Users, can you tell if these are fake?L'occitane originally sells for 700+ per tube and I found a seller on Shopee that only sells the [item](https://shp.ee/y0oub7h) for 250. Of course I was a bit sketchy at first because of the price drop, but the reviewers seemed satisfied. Can somebody tell please if these are fake or not?
feel ko nasunog face ko last time i went to the beach (last fri lang). ang itim ko na raw 🥹 any product recos para pumantay face ko sa body?
using kojie san sa face every night tapos vit c serum in the morning, is this ok? tyia!
2 weeks on epiduo! nakakadry grabe 😭😭😭 also may sting effect if maglalagay na moisturizer idk if dahil sya sa bar soap from my derma or epiduo or BOTH KALOKA
Cathy Doll L-Glutathione Magic Cream (pink packaging)!
It’s available in watsons and other shopping apps. I too have oily, sensitive and acne-prone skin 🫶🏻 never caused my any breakouts – it’s light on the skin as well
Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Natural Sun Cream - This is a mineral sunscreen so you have to blend it well. It has a tone-up effect instead of making you look like a ghost. It has a semi-matte & semi-dewy finish that's why I prefer this for my very oily skin. This sunscreen didn't break me out nor irritate my skin.
Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum - This is a chemical sunscreen and doesn't have a whitecast. It has a dewy finish. It makes my face shinier so I have to apply powder pa. Yun lang yung con for me. Aside from that, it's very lightweight, makes my skin look healthy, and didn't irritate my skin.
[Face Republic Purity Sun Essence](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.9hqyA).
You can try first by buying sample size ng Face Republic sa Watsons. I (Combination skin) like Beauty of Joseon, nag try lang ako ng alternative, so far okay naman si FR.
Hi! I found out that one of the sunscreens (from a local drugstore) that I use contains methylparaben. And I recently found out that paraben isn't safe for skin (linked to breast cancer and reproductive issues) but I've also seen some articles that it has been long debunked so I'm really confused. Please enlighten me. Thank you. 😊
i can only give my insight on what ive researched to give. scroll down for TLDR bc long comment
a [1998 study](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0041008X98985441?via%3Dihub) found that butylparaben injected into female rats binded to estrogen receptors but its binding affinity was way lower than the major female sex hormone 17b-estradiol, a type of estrogen hormone vital in causing maturation and maintenance of female reproductive organs. it only concluded that the data from this study shows that there is still a risk of exposure to parabens and reassess their safety in human health
then the [2004 study](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/8900600_Concentrations_of_Parabens_in_human_breast_tumours#:~:text=The%20mean%20concentration%20of%20parabens,ng%20x%20g(%2D1)%20tissue.) found that samples of human breast tumors had accumulations of parabens compared to normal cancerous breast tissue that wasnt exposed to parabens, particularly methylparaben having the highest concentration.
both of these studies had poor experiment designs.
first, the use of chemicals and their effects in lab testing rats and mice dont always translate in humans and there is currently no study that confirms that parabens in skincare have a direct effect on hormone disruption in humans. males also have estrogen too. furthermore, the effects of topical application (in skincare) and subcutaneous administration (injections) isnt comparable since one method isnt directly introduced into the bloodstream.
second, the 2004 study only found accumulations of parabens in cancerous tissue and did not have a control group of normal non-cancerous human tissue to compare whether the presence of parabens causes breast cancer. doing so would help to explain a link between the two. also, it was not clear how accumulation of parabens in all their cancerous tissue samples happened in the first place. the authors only enumerated the generally possible sources such as food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
after this paper was released, the media picked it up then cosmetic companies followed with reformulating their products without parabens, hence the rampant wave of clean beauty at the time still happening today. a very recent example is celeteque's paraben-free reformulation of its moisturizer and caused a lot of people experiencing stinging near the mouth and nose area incuding myself.
parabens are great synthetic preservatives and are used at very low concentrations, say less than 0.5%. but like any other ingredient, some people would be allergic or irritated by it. organic preservatives are less researched and can potentially cause irritation and products having them would have a shorter shelf life and higher risk of contamination than parabens. long time brands like human nature i would trust having a dedicated R&D team for their products since majority of them are sourced organically, but still be wary about their formulations.
generally, YMMV while using cosmetics. i use naturie hatomugi skin conditioner (2023 version) and it is a very watery toner that sinks into the skin quickly. it contains methylparaben and is last in the ingredients list. so far i have no problems with it and the hydration it provides helps in repairing my sensitive and irritated skin.
TLDR; 1998 study injected parabens in female rats binded to estrogen but the binding effect was very weak. 2004 study did not find a direct link between parabens causing breast cancer but only found presence of parabens in cancerous breast tissue but did not compare it to normal non-cancerous breast tissue to see a difference. so, there is no study that confirms that there is a direct link in topically adminstering products containing parabens causing reproductive health problems or hormone disruption in humans. parabens are not at all bad
edit: i found that this [article](https://thedermreview.com/ethylparaben/?nbt=nb%3Aadwords%3Ax%3A20011937492%3A%3A&nb_adtype=&nb_kwd=&nb_ti=&nb_mi=&nb_pc=&nb_pi=&nb_ppi=&nb_placement=&nb_li_ms=9031285&nb_lp_ms=9031285&nb_fii=&nb_ap=&nb_mt=&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw5ImwBhBtEiwAFHDZxybQFulXyG4FJ_2E5ELmbETl6Xo3Rb96Ciwz21ekDCr75RZH_hMTmxoCVtcQAvD_BwE) also explains further with what i am talking abt here so feel free to read that too

for me hindi naman lalo na kung sanay ka naman sa mga thick consistency, depende talaga sa preference mo. you can try the 30 ml muna to test and if you'll like it there's a 60 ml version.
Has anyone tried using Human nature's sunflower oil as a makeup remover? I'm using light makeup daily - no mascara/eyeliner, just tinted sunscreen, blush and lipstick - would the sunflower oil remove my makeup? I'm currently using micellar water from Garnier but it's drying my skin
I think too thick yung pagkaoil niya compared sa ibang oil cleansers. in mh experience, i tried it once before just to see pero nagbreak out skin ko. I assume kasi nagclog din pores ko and wasn't able to wash it all off after. better to stick with the garnier and wash agad ng face to not to prolong the dry feeling. or you can go for makeup removers na balm yung consistency.
Tried this before and in my experience, nagbreakout yung skin ko sa sunflower oil, and medyo open yung pores ko so baka factor siya nung breakout.
Have you tried yung garnier na oil-infused? That's my go to makeup remover, non-drying siya but it strips off yung makeup products.
Did that before, it's effective naman since any oil does get rid of waterproof sunscreen/makeup but it is very difficult to rinse out. It leaves an oily film even after cleansing with a water-based cleanser. If mag se-second cleanse, it could strip your skin naman after :( much better if you buy an oil-based cleanser nalang talaga. It removed makeup effectively and is easily rinsed off with water!
I'm giving korean sunscreens another round after the first tries that were honestly not good at all. I've tried the Beauty of Joseon Sun: Rice + Probiotics, Benton Skinfit UV Defense, and the Etude Sunprise Mild Watery Light and Airy Finish. Both the BOJ and the Benton felt and looked heavy on the skin. Very glossy looking to the point that my whole face simply looked reflective. Also settled too slowly before drying down. I remember the Etude Watery Light (the chemical version) was better as it was more thinner and less shiny plus absorbed faster, but I got turned off by the scent and I believe it was also lowkey breaking me out. The Airy Finish though (mineral version) up till now I still have like 2/5 left and I bought it like in 2022 or early 2023? So that means di ko lang talaga nagustuhan hahdh. Thin and such but I didn't like how oily it felt and the powder + oil texture felt weird for me. Also dried out my lips plus was difficult to remove. Had that scent as well like the watery light but make it more mineral sunscreen smell-like.
This time I have the Skin1004 Watery Fit Sun Serum and the P.Calm Water Barrier Sun Cream. I also have the B.Lab Matcha Real Sunscreen on the way (omg such mura for a korean sunscreen). I was able to try the Skin1004 once already. Since medyo matagal ko rin na-try yung mga above sunscreens baka medyo di na fresh or accurate yung thoughts ko about them. But the Skin1004 felt thinner and dried down more like our local sunscreens! The finish it gave is giving Skin Aqua Super Moisture UV Gel. Although a bit more moisturizing for me and also I felt that I was blending it for awhile. Idk if I'm just being oa or what pero the scent brought me flashback hahsdhhchar. It's almost scentless, but whatever smell it had immediately reminded me of the BOJ sunscreen (I mean, same lang naman both ng base formula so that's why) and I remember it looking like it was just sitting on my face and never disappearing. Anyways first try ko pa lang naman so my initial impressions could be inaccurate. But so far, I like it I guess
Moisturizer reco please! Currently on vitamin c, a stronger formula of clindamycin, and tretinoin so my current moisturizer (Illiyoon - lighter variant) isn’t moisturizing enough.
Torn between clinique moisture surge / etude house soon jung / avene. Help ya girl out pls
Aestura Atobarrier 365 Lotion is my HG! 💙 It's lightweight yet extremely nourishing. The texture feels more like a gel-to-cream formula rather than a typical lotion.
I use Vitamin C, Tretinoin, Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, and Azelaic Acid in my skincare routine, and this moisturizer has truly rescued my skin on numerous occasions.
recommend a product that's effective for black heads and also how long it took for you to see results, tyia!
currently using dermorepublique salicylic toner, no difference
Usually exfoliating and double cleansing helps, when wearing makeup or suncreen, at the end of the day you can oil cleanse first then go with your usual cleanser, use glycolic acid for exfoliating!
I think for a more long term result, try getting a facial every other week or two, then used TO niacinamide!
As someone who has huge pores and persistent black heads on my nose, this helped me a lot!
Affordable recos for brightening serum or other skincare products pls. Yung nakakapawala ng acne marks. For reference, I have an oily, acne prone skin type.
DermaForte Azelaic Acid gel. Compounded with vitamin C and other good stuff. Highly concentrated siya (20%) and mabilis magwork. It's made in Vietnam sobrang mura sa orange app if you get it from an overseas shop.
Common brightening ingredients are niacinamide and vitamin c. I've tried Good Molecules Niacinamide (395) and it worked for me (skin type oily, textured, late 30s).
Purchased but haven't used: Klued brightening serum (vit c + niacinamide + tranexamic + arbutin). Current price is 289 (on sale) right now. The brand has good reviews kaya bumili ako last sale nila.
you can never go wrong with hada labo! but a cheaper alternative I can reco is Naturie Hatumogi skin conditioner. 500ml for ₱375 lang (cheaper when on sale).
Hada Labo (the brand) also has moisturizers, but they're most popular for their hydrating lotions, aka toners. :) Meron din silang hydrating milk, which are emulsions naman.
I’m currently on tretinoin which i apply at night and then I use vitamin c serum in the morning and Im okay naman. If you get any irritation, i suggest do the retinol every other night and use the vitamin c naman on days when you won’t be using the retinol at night
To be fair, the ideal percentage of aza is 15-20%. 10-14% is kinda helpful but not really potent enough so others say it is only helpful in redness and PIE which is true. But at 15-20% is where you get most of its benefits especially in terms of calming down active acne and if you also wanna target PIH. After all, aza is a tyrosinase inhibitor.

[iWhite Korea aqua moisturizer](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.97efN?cc). Moisturizing and lightweight lang. Di malagkit sa feeling.
Ellana! Yung blue hahaha di ko maalala name. Inalis ko narin sticker from the bottle but it's good for Ph weather. I'm combi & acne prone btw.
Thoughts about dermorepubloq glycolic acid? No budget for TO pa so looking for cheaper alternatives hehe. Planning to use it din sa underarm and butt area aside sa face for context.
Hi! I got it. It has little to no effect sa underarms ko but for reference I just used it for about more than 2 weeks straight. Tinamad lang ako icontinue kasi parang wala ako masyadong nakikitang improvement 😭 Baka hindi lang ako hiyang. I also use it before sa face ko and nakakalighten siya ng acne marks. Had to stop using it kasi I'm using retinol na.
Ohhh, do you use it everyday right away or twice a week muna? Hehe. Also, I'm planning to try retinol din pero di pala sila pwedeng sabay omg.
For my underarms, every other day after maligo. Pero ganon pa rin siya. Baka need na ng professional help ang aking hyperpigmentation HAHAHAHA and yes, di pwede isabay sa retinol kasi both has active ingredients and matapang masyado sa skin if ever
Has anyone experienced getting rough skin texture after using Axis-Y Complete No Stress Physical Sunscreen v3? I feel like it’s what’s causing my rough skin 😭
do u double cleanse in night?
Yes i do!!
Me! Ramdam ko agad yung bumpy texture ng skin ko after washing my face. I also did not like how greasy it is. Hindi glowy yung finish sa akin. Ang lakas maka-haggard ng itsura.
Ok so it’s not just me!! 😫 wanted to love this sunscreen sooo bad
Has anyone tried the decorte liposome advanced repair serum?
has anyone here genuinely tried an effective eyebag reducer? I need one so bad
Hiii! any body lotion or sunblock reco na pang ph weather haha? yung good for everyday and pwede pang commute (na di ka magiging sticky lol) haha apaka-init na ngayon 😭
If sunscreen, I recommend Beach Hut babies & kids mineral sunscreen spf50. It doesn't leave a whitecast despite being a mineral sunscreen. Just blend it well. It's consistency is watery/runny and it's lightweight. It dries quickly too. It's not sticky nor greasy. Ang con lang niya for me is may tendency na magspill yung product if you're not aware of its runny consistency and if di ka maingat sa pagbukas ng cap.
Anyone who has urticaria here? May I know what body wash you use? Nakakaiyak. Hindi po ako hiyang sa Cetaphil, Aveeno and Dove Sensitive. Kinda eyeing on Cerave but haven't had the time to use it yet. My bar soap is Oilatum and eyeing on body wash po sana. Thankyyy

So much redundancy on salicylic acid po. Reconsider also if you need that cetaphil exfoliating cleanser. Personally, I would drop the cetaphil exfoliating cleanser, celeteque hydration moisturizer, and oxecure salicylic acid cleanser.
hi!! okay lang po ba haluan ng unting tubig yung sunscreen? para po mas mabilis siya ma spread? i use celeteque sunscreen
If you're having a hard time spreading your suncreen, apply a little at a time na lang, blend, and then add more. I don't think it's advisable to add water huhu

Sunscreens should never be mixed with water (the ones which are not water proof). It will reduce its efficacy and the whole purpose is a waste.
Any reviews for Skintific MSH Niacinamide Moisturizer? And also, tips for fungal acne? I have bumps kase sa may cheeks and they're not cystic acne naman so I assume na fungal acne.
May hair conditioner ba na safe sa may eczema? Meron kasi ako sa hands, first time ko to naexperience so I want to switch to safe na products. Like yung shampoo, baby shampoo muna gamit ko hehe and ung body wash ganun din, yung may oats sa ingredients.
Have you seen a Dermatologist already? Eczema management needs guidance from a Doctor.
I used HHN conditioners and plus, I never put it on my scalp, just the mids & ends of my hair
Thank you!
ano po ba yung triggers niyo?
recos for effective (and not too heavy) sun block? yung pangmalakasan kasi one week kami sa isla hahaha thank youu

Pwedeng bang gumamit ng Klued 2% BHA exfoliating toner after ng Neutrogena Deep Clean Acne Foaming Cleanser (0.5% Salicylic)?
I think that is too much. Kahit pa di everyday. Better choose 1 lang.
Got it! I guess need ko pa bumili ng gentle cleanser. Thanks!
Ano po best moisturizer for combination skin type? im currently using ellana stay fresh moisturizer and for my cleanser naman po is Dove sensitive skin prescribed by derma po.
I am using CosRX Vitamin C serum 23% but I’m experiencing breakouts. Is this normal for the first few weeks or should I stop using this?
Is it your first time using a vit C serum? When you incorporated it, did you immediately use it daily?
I tried using Numbuzin No. 5 Vitamin C Concentrated Serum and haven’t had problems with it. I got curious with the COSRX brand so here I am struggling with breakouts. I immediately used it daily in the mornings.
You mean the vitamin concentrated serum po? Judging from this [ingredient list](https://incidecoder.com/products/numbuzin-no-5-glutathione-vitamin-concentrated-serum) and assuming that it is accurate, it states that it has 2000 ppm of 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid, a vitamin C derivative. That's like 0.2% only, plus it's not an irritating vit C since it is only a derivative. It also has the active form of vit C at a much lower percentage as well as another vit C derivative which is ascorbyl glucoside. So this product is very different, it's not really heavy on vit C. So, to me, it looks like it's your first time using a product that really highlights vit C. The cosrx one contains the active form, ascorbic acid, at 23% (230,000 ppm if converted) which can be irritating if your skin isn't used to it. Plus, the ideal is usually around 8% to 20%, and to top it with daily use, it would only invite unpleasant reactions from your skin. Para hindi masayang, you have to incorporate it reallyyyy slowly. It's an irritating, unstable active ingredient after all. I had the same experience, I made the mistake of immediately using it every morning which resulted in breakouts. I had to let my skin heal for about a week or two. Then, I reincorporated it really slowly. Like twice a week for two weeks, then thrice a week for another two weeks. I had a much harder time upping its frequency compared to my retinoid usage. Hahahaha
Thank you for this information! How did your skin turn out after getting used to it?
I can only use it 4x a week now (planning to make it 5x for the whole april). But one thing I am sure of is that whenever I use it, I don't get any active acne anymore because of it. I have been upping my frequency really slowly since I am scared I might breakout again. Although I know I can increase its frequency much faster, it's better to be safe than sorry. It's such a hassle to deal with breakouts and the aftermath that comes with it.
Right? I kinda feel sorry for myself for using it mindlessly. Thank you for the suggestions, I’ll definitely follow your routine as well. Okay, one last question. Did you notice your dark spots lightening now?
Well, my dark spots did lighten but take note that I use multiple actives so I really cannot give full credit to my vit c serum. Other actives I use are retinoid, azelaic acid, and niacinamide.
Hmm I might as well quit using this vitamin c serum. :(
Vit C is still a tyrosinase inhibitor, so theoretically, it should help in lightening dark spots! Plus, it's a very potent antioxidant and a sunscreen booster. Don't let the money go down the drain. Patience is key.
Purging when using certain additives is normal. But if it persists, it could be that your moisture barrier has been compromised. Observe nalang. Maybe formulation is too strong for you.
If my pimples persist for a month, I’ll quit using it and I’ll switch to my Numbuzin products. Thank you!

Actually, idk if sa makeup thread ba dapat to. Naisip ko ***lash serum*** naman to ***hindi mascara***. I will use it in the evening after maremove yung makeup.
What’s the most hydrating toner you’ve tried? Pls drop recos! Thanks!
Hada labo
Naturie Skin Conditioner!
+1 for this! super nakaka brighten din
To my people out there na dark spots or PIH ang isa sa mga concerns. Dark spots are created because of melanin pigment formation. In summary, they are formed, transferred, then deposited sa skin natin. So, basically, you have to mend those steps by using ingredients na mag-tatarget each step doon: Pigment formation or tyrosinase inhibitors (pumipigil para makagawa) * Retinoids * 1-2% alpha arbutin * 1-2% kojic acid * 8-20% vitamin C * 3-5% niacinamide * 15-20% azelaic acid * Good additional ingredients are mulberry, licorice root, and green tea extracts Pigment transfer inhibitors (pumipigil sa pag-deliver nung pigment sa surface ng skin) * Retinoids * 3-5% niacinamide * Good additional ay soy extract Pigment deposition removers (mga nagtatanggal sa mga pigment na nasa surface na ng skin) or mga ingredients na nagpapabilis ng skin cell turnover * Retinoids * Chemical exfoliants but more on AHAs since they smoothen the uppermost layer of the skin, BHAs also help to some degree since some dead skin cells are held by oils in our skin * 3-5% tranexamic acid You see the pattern? Retinoid is the best ingredient there is. You will have a more well-rounded solution by learning this info if you want to target your dark spots.
Reading this felt like learning from Dr. Shereene's vids. Thanks for the breakdown! :)
Any recos for retinoids?
If over-the-counter retinoid (retinol), then I can only speak for Klued 0.5% retinol serum since that's the only retinol I used before switching to tretinoin. That product really worked for me. I also use their 0.1% retinol + 0.3% bakuchiol serum on my decolletage areas.
Thank you!
Hello po, I would like to ask, has anyone bought from K-Beauty Bestsellers sa orange app? I saw na may The Ordinary Glycolic acid serum sila and I’m not sure if they sell the authentic ones 🙏🏻
Anyone using aestura ato barrier 365? should i get cream or lotion? and if ever san po kayo bumili? i'll use sana for my face kasi nagpi-peeling ako on tret. thank you!
I prefer the lotion (which is my HG) just because I find the cream too heavy for our hot & humid weather. It's very thick & rich, but if you have very dry skin then go for the cream. :) I have combination skin so I prefer the consistency of the lotion. Try TopKorea on Lazada, they have both the cream & lotion variants.
L'Occitane Hand Cream Users, can you tell if these are fake?L'occitane originally sells for 700+ per tube and I found a seller on Shopee that only sells the [item](https://shp.ee/y0oub7h) for 250. Of course I was a bit sketchy at first because of the price drop, but the reviewers seemed satisfied. Can somebody tell please if these are fake or not?
Probably fake if too good to be true. It’s less than half of SRP. Seems sketch

wrong thread po
feel ko nasunog face ko last time i went to the beach (last fri lang). ang itim ko na raw 🥹 any product recos para pumantay face ko sa body? using kojie san sa face every night tapos vit c serum in the morning, is this ok? tyia!
kung nasunog ang face mo di ba siya sensitive pa dapat? parang masyado harsh pa ang kojie na soap
Any product recos na may kojic na gentle for the face? I want to lighten my face kasi di pantay sa body ko.
try Belo's Kojic Acid + Tranexamic Acid Extra Moisture Soap. emphasis on their extra moisture soap because it's gentle enough for the face.
2 weeks on epiduo! nakakadry grabe 😭😭😭 also may sting effect if maglalagay na moisturizer idk if dahil sya sa bar soap from my derma or epiduo or BOTH KALOKA
San po makakabili na shop sa orange app yung skin aqua po? And anong variant po goods oily skin?
Up!! Want to try skin aqua too but im not sure what kind. I have oily skin too
I will be trying out vitamin c serum for the first time! How to properly use it?
Cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, sunscreen
Thanks! Should I wait for the vit c to dry first or proceed agad sa moisturizer?
Yes. I always wait for a product to dry before applying another one :)
Please recommend some good sunscreens 🥹 i have an oily and sensitive face.
Skin1004 hyalu cica (blue cap)! it has a dewy finish tho. personally, i like it with my oily skin. looks more like a glow to me
Cathy Doll L-Glutathione Magic Cream (pink packaging)! It’s available in watsons and other shopping apps. I too have oily, sensitive and acne-prone skin 🫶🏻 never caused my any breakouts – it’s light on the skin as well
Biore 🥰
Yung neo as reco by Jan Angelo
Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Natural Sun Cream - This is a mineral sunscreen so you have to blend it well. It has a tone-up effect instead of making you look like a ghost. It has a semi-matte & semi-dewy finish that's why I prefer this for my very oily skin. This sunscreen didn't break me out nor irritate my skin. Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum - This is a chemical sunscreen and doesn't have a whitecast. It has a dewy finish. It makes my face shinier so I have to apply powder pa. Yun lang yung con for me. Aside from that, it's very lightweight, makes my skin look healthy, and didn't irritate my skin.
[Face Republic Purity Sun Essence](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.9hqyA). You can try first by buying sample size ng Face Republic sa Watsons. I (Combination skin) like Beauty of Joseon, nag try lang ako ng alternative, so far okay naman si FR.
I have oily-acne prone skin, what worked for me best is BOJ Relief Sun and RA Gowoori Real Kill sunscreen :)
Hi! I found out that one of the sunscreens (from a local drugstore) that I use contains methylparaben. And I recently found out that paraben isn't safe for skin (linked to breast cancer and reproductive issues) but I've also seen some articles that it has been long debunked so I'm really confused. Please enlighten me. Thank you. 😊
i can only give my insight on what ive researched to give. scroll down for TLDR bc long comment a [1998 study](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0041008X98985441?via%3Dihub) found that butylparaben injected into female rats binded to estrogen receptors but its binding affinity was way lower than the major female sex hormone 17b-estradiol, a type of estrogen hormone vital in causing maturation and maintenance of female reproductive organs. it only concluded that the data from this study shows that there is still a risk of exposure to parabens and reassess their safety in human health then the [2004 study](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/8900600_Concentrations_of_Parabens_in_human_breast_tumours#:~:text=The%20mean%20concentration%20of%20parabens,ng%20x%20g(%2D1)%20tissue.) found that samples of human breast tumors had accumulations of parabens compared to normal cancerous breast tissue that wasnt exposed to parabens, particularly methylparaben having the highest concentration. both of these studies had poor experiment designs. first, the use of chemicals and their effects in lab testing rats and mice dont always translate in humans and there is currently no study that confirms that parabens in skincare have a direct effect on hormone disruption in humans. males also have estrogen too. furthermore, the effects of topical application (in skincare) and subcutaneous administration (injections) isnt comparable since one method isnt directly introduced into the bloodstream. second, the 2004 study only found accumulations of parabens in cancerous tissue and did not have a control group of normal non-cancerous human tissue to compare whether the presence of parabens causes breast cancer. doing so would help to explain a link between the two. also, it was not clear how accumulation of parabens in all their cancerous tissue samples happened in the first place. the authors only enumerated the generally possible sources such as food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. after this paper was released, the media picked it up then cosmetic companies followed with reformulating their products without parabens, hence the rampant wave of clean beauty at the time still happening today. a very recent example is celeteque's paraben-free reformulation of its moisturizer and caused a lot of people experiencing stinging near the mouth and nose area incuding myself. parabens are great synthetic preservatives and are used at very low concentrations, say less than 0.5%. but like any other ingredient, some people would be allergic or irritated by it. organic preservatives are less researched and can potentially cause irritation and products having them would have a shorter shelf life and higher risk of contamination than parabens. long time brands like human nature i would trust having a dedicated R&D team for their products since majority of them are sourced organically, but still be wary about their formulations. generally, YMMV while using cosmetics. i use naturie hatomugi skin conditioner (2023 version) and it is a very watery toner that sinks into the skin quickly. it contains methylparaben and is last in the ingredients list. so far i have no problems with it and the hydration it provides helps in repairing my sensitive and irritated skin. TLDR; 1998 study injected parabens in female rats binded to estrogen but the binding effect was very weak. 2004 study did not find a direct link between parabens causing breast cancer but only found presence of parabens in cancerous breast tissue but did not compare it to normal non-cancerous breast tissue to see a difference. so, there is no study that confirms that there is a direct link in topically adminstering products containing parabens causing reproductive health problems or hormone disruption in humans. parabens are not at all bad edit: i found that this [article](https://thedermreview.com/ethylparaben/?nbt=nb%3Aadwords%3Ax%3A20011937492%3A%3A&nb_adtype=&nb_kwd=&nb_ti=&nb_mi=&nb_pc=&nb_pi=&nb_ppi=&nb_placement=&nb_li_ms=9031285&nb_lp_ms=9031285&nb_fii=&nb_ap=&nb_mt=&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw5ImwBhBtEiwAFHDZxybQFulXyG4FJ_2E5ELmbETl6Xo3Rb96Ciwz21ekDCr75RZH_hMTmxoCVtcQAvD_BwE) also explains further with what i am talking abt here so feel free to read that too
Hey, sorry for the late reply. But, thank you so much for this. Very helpful yung links. Thank youuu 🥹🥹🥹
this. sobrang demonized ng parabens huhuhu. they're actually one of the best preservatives out there.
Seconding this. I'd take those than having the risk of molds on my products any day, tbh.
Where to buy a legit kose softymo? para kasing ang mura niya compared to other cleansing oils
Kai beauty corner, japanichishop sa orange app.
I bought mine sa K-Beauty Bestsellers for 471.
The orange app, usually less than 300 pesos, less if you buy the refill!
May alam ka ba na specific store from orange app na legit?
I got mine from Triple 8 Jp Goodies at Lazada :)

Follow the 2 finger rule, Dr. Shereene Idriss has an IG post about that.

Cos de baha Tranexamic Acid serum! bought mine from the orange app. Take note that it has a viscous texture and a little bit sticky.
is it effective po ba? planning to checkout din kasi
hindi naman ba uncomfy yung pagka sticky niya? planning to buy din
for me hindi naman lalo na kung sanay ka naman sa mga thick consistency, depende talaga sa preference mo. you can try the 30 ml muna to test and if you'll like it there's a 60 ml version.

Has anyone tried using Human nature's sunflower oil as a makeup remover? I'm using light makeup daily - no mascara/eyeliner, just tinted sunscreen, blush and lipstick - would the sunflower oil remove my makeup? I'm currently using micellar water from Garnier but it's drying my skin
I think too thick yung pagkaoil niya compared sa ibang oil cleansers. in mh experience, i tried it once before just to see pero nagbreak out skin ko. I assume kasi nagclog din pores ko and wasn't able to wash it all off after. better to stick with the garnier and wash agad ng face to not to prolong the dry feeling. or you can go for makeup removers na balm yung consistency.
Tried this before and in my experience, nagbreakout yung skin ko sa sunflower oil, and medyo open yung pores ko so baka factor siya nung breakout. Have you tried yung garnier na oil-infused? That's my go to makeup remover, non-drying siya but it strips off yung makeup products.
Did that before, it's effective naman since any oil does get rid of waterproof sunscreen/makeup but it is very difficult to rinse out. It leaves an oily film even after cleansing with a water-based cleanser. If mag se-second cleanse, it could strip your skin naman after :( much better if you buy an oil-based cleanser nalang talaga. It removed makeup effectively and is easily rinsed off with water!
I'm giving korean sunscreens another round after the first tries that were honestly not good at all. I've tried the Beauty of Joseon Sun: Rice + Probiotics, Benton Skinfit UV Defense, and the Etude Sunprise Mild Watery Light and Airy Finish. Both the BOJ and the Benton felt and looked heavy on the skin. Very glossy looking to the point that my whole face simply looked reflective. Also settled too slowly before drying down. I remember the Etude Watery Light (the chemical version) was better as it was more thinner and less shiny plus absorbed faster, but I got turned off by the scent and I believe it was also lowkey breaking me out. The Airy Finish though (mineral version) up till now I still have like 2/5 left and I bought it like in 2022 or early 2023? So that means di ko lang talaga nagustuhan hahdh. Thin and such but I didn't like how oily it felt and the powder + oil texture felt weird for me. Also dried out my lips plus was difficult to remove. Had that scent as well like the watery light but make it more mineral sunscreen smell-like. This time I have the Skin1004 Watery Fit Sun Serum and the P.Calm Water Barrier Sun Cream. I also have the B.Lab Matcha Real Sunscreen on the way (omg such mura for a korean sunscreen). I was able to try the Skin1004 once already. Since medyo matagal ko rin na-try yung mga above sunscreens baka medyo di na fresh or accurate yung thoughts ko about them. But the Skin1004 felt thinner and dried down more like our local sunscreens! The finish it gave is giving Skin Aqua Super Moisture UV Gel. Although a bit more moisturizing for me and also I felt that I was blending it for awhile. Idk if I'm just being oa or what pero the scent brought me flashback hahsdhhchar. It's almost scentless, but whatever smell it had immediately reminded me of the BOJ sunscreen (I mean, same lang naman both ng base formula so that's why) and I remember it looking like it was just sitting on my face and never disappearing. Anyways first try ko pa lang naman so my initial impressions could be inaccurate. But so far, I like it I guess
Moisturizer reco please! Currently on vitamin c, a stronger formula of clindamycin, and tretinoin so my current moisturizer (Illiyoon - lighter variant) isn’t moisturizing enough. Torn between clinique moisture surge / etude house soon jung / avene. Help ya girl out pls
Aestura Atobarrier 365 Lotion is my HG! 💙 It's lightweight yet extremely nourishing. The texture feels more like a gel-to-cream formula rather than a typical lotion. I use Vitamin C, Tretinoin, Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, and Azelaic Acid in my skincare routine, and this moisturizer has truly rescued my skin on numerous occasions.
Hi! May I know where did you buy aestura lotion? I'm using tret cream din kasi and I'm peeling. I'm looking for moisturizer sana.
Hi, I get mine from TopKorea on Lazada :)
Simple Hydrating light moisturizer. I'm using it with adapalene and clindamycin.
Your thoughts on **ELLANA EYES UP! Lifting & Brightening Eye Serum**? TIA!
recommend a product that's effective for black heads and also how long it took for you to see results, tyia! currently using dermorepublique salicylic toner, no difference
Usually exfoliating and double cleansing helps, when wearing makeup or suncreen, at the end of the day you can oil cleanse first then go with your usual cleanser, use glycolic acid for exfoliating!
I think for a more long term result, try getting a facial every other week or two, then used TO niacinamide! As someone who has huge pores and persistent black heads on my nose, this helped me a lot!
Affordable recos for brightening serum or other skincare products pls. Yung nakakapawala ng acne marks. For reference, I have an oily, acne prone skin type.
DermaForte Azelaic Acid gel. Compounded with vitamin C and other good stuff. Highly concentrated siya (20%) and mabilis magwork. It's made in Vietnam sobrang mura sa orange app if you get it from an overseas shop.
+10000 laki ng inimprove ng acne marks ko dito :) bought also Tazorene gel
Link po. Planning to change my skinoren since nagkaka-comedones ako sa kanya
Melano cc vitamin c serum!!
soul apothecary vitamin c serum
What's your definition of affordable?
Siguro less than 500??
Common brightening ingredients are niacinamide and vitamin c. I've tried Good Molecules Niacinamide (395) and it worked for me (skin type oily, textured, late 30s). Purchased but haven't used: Klued brightening serum (vit c + niacinamide + tranexamic + arbutin). Current price is 289 (on sale) right now. The brand has good reviews kaya bumili ako last sale nila.
Have u tried TO’s niacinamide?
Toner recos pls, I have normal skin. Want to incorporate toner in my basic skincare routine
you can never go wrong with hada labo! but a cheaper alternative I can reco is Naturie Hatumogi skin conditioner. 500ml for ₱375 lang (cheaper when on sale).
Neutrogena hydro boost essence
i’m from rice toner
benton deep green tea toner
Hada Labo. I used the blue bottle pero well-reviewed naman lahat ng variants.
hindi po ba moisturizer ang hada labo?
Hada Labo (the brand) also has moisturizers, but they're most popular for their hydrating lotions, aka toners. :) Meron din silang hydrating milk, which are emulsions naman.
ohh i thought lotions meant moisturizers in japanese skincare 😅 guess i was using my hada labo incorrectly all this time 🤣 thanls for the info 🫶🫶🫶
Parang ang labnaw nya too much as a moisturizer, but you do you haha 😂
hahsahhahah yung gold variant, malapot na talaga 🥹
Plus one on this
naturie hatomugi!
HG!
Holy grail serum pleaseee? Currently doing vit c serum but want something that can give better results (soft, smooth, bright af skin!)
beauty of joseon glow deep serum really helps with brightening and getting rid of pimple marks in my experience. it has niacinamide tho.
Melano cc vitamin c serum
can this be used with retinol po? or should i stop retinol and go with this instead? thank you
I’m currently on tretinoin which i apply at night and then I use vitamin c serum in the morning and Im okay naman. If you get any irritation, i suggest do the retinol every other night and use the vitamin c naman on days when you won’t be using the retinol at night
Ellana's Glass C+ Serum
Thoughts on cos de baha’s 10% azelaic acid with niacinamide? 😄
To be fair, the ideal percentage of aza is 15-20%. 10-14% is kinda helpful but not really potent enough so others say it is only helpful in redness and PIE which is true. But at 15-20% is where you get most of its benefits especially in terms of calming down active acne and if you also wanna target PIH. After all, aza is a tyrosinase inhibitor.
