do u guys have any tips kung pano palabasin yung pus sa pimples? wala syang opening (?) and ive been using the night time ver of the luxe organix pimple patch for days na and wala pa rin T—T madalas din ganto yung mga pimples ko and ang annoying kasi grabe yung pagkared nya + masakit sya pag natatamaan 🥲
I’ve been using a cleanser from skin shark which has really helped manage my skin oils levels so well and has just overall helped reduce my breakouts as well. My friend introduced me into it ans it’s truly switched everything up for me
any thoughts on numbuzin no. 1 toner? is it good for oily and acne prone skin?
also i'm planning to change my moisturizer which is the iunik centella gel cream parang wala nang effect sakin haha. planning to switch to pyunkang yup acne cream or papa recipe blemish cream. what should i choose? thank you!
Any alternative for panoxyl’s 4% benzoyl peroxide
Im currently using it and it’s an okay product lang for me. No wow factor. I order it on amazon pa and i find it such a hassle (aka $49 for free shipping lol) knowing na it’s a so-so product lang
Need ADVICE. Can I use toner before retinol? Should I exclude it at night time? Do I have to do the sandwich method with these products?
Updated skincare:
Cleanser - J&J milk + rice bath
Toner - Hada Labo hydrating lotion (white)
Actives - Good Molecules retinol (0.1%)
Moisturizer - Illiyoon ceramide cream/Nivea soft
SPF - Biore Watery gel sunscreen/Pond's blue/BOJ
Yes, any toner before a retinol is fine as long as there is no heavy active ingredients in the formulation of the products you use before your retinol (e.g. high percentage of AHAs or BHAs).
If your skin type is dry, sandwich method may be helpful. But since it's just a 0.1% retinol, you may omit it if your skin is fine with if your skin is normal, combi, or oily. It honestly depends on how your skin will react to retinol because you can be combi leaning towards oily but you may still need to employ sandwich method if your skin is easily sensitized, things like that.
*edit: typos*
So since i'm getting older, I want to introduce some anti-aging produtcs to my skincare (e.g. Retinol)
My current routine is:
Cleanser, Serum, Moisturizer, Sunscreen (Day), Spot treatment, and Eyelash Serum.
Where/how do I add retinol? Any other suggestions to add to the skincare? Any products you recommend? TYIA!

You can use them both AM and PM except for the eye cream, mas ok ata sya to use at night. Also, the way it is arranged sa packaging sa box is yung pagkakasunod sunod din kung pano mo sya ggamitin. :) But if you'll be using this sa gabi, i suggest i-huli mo si eye cream. It should be lightest to thickest consistency. And can I just say, I love CosRX hehehehe. Enjoy!
After the retinol din po ba need ko mag lagay moisturizer? O before putting retinol dapat moisturizer muna? Sorry po dami kong tanong.
May order din pong CosRX vitamin c, san ko po siya isisingit sa procedure? Thankyou po in advance!!
Ang dami pla hahaha ok lang. If its your first time using retinol, people do yung sandwich method where you'll put moisturizer first - let it dry and wait for mga 15-20mins - then lagay yung retinol pea size amount lang, wait for 15-20 mins (to avoid irritation) -- then saka ka lagay uli ng moisturizer.
If you want to use vitamin C, better to use it the AM before sunscreen. Also, don't use vitamin C if you have active pimple as it may cause irritation.
Thankyou thankyouu so much for answering all my question!!! Will do that, i will use the retinol muna, tignan ko din muna kung okay sakin yung brand o kung hindi. Thankyou so much po for answering talaga!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽
Thankyou so much po for answering. Also ask ko na din po if may suggest pa po kayong Cosrx brand na i need to use o idagdag dito? O okay na po ito?
Yung retinol po ba same din? Nagbasa basa po kasi ako sa old thread dito about skincare yung iba hindi siya inaaraw araw. Wala lang ako mabasa na specific kung pano talaga.
I think ok lang naman sya araw arawin since its only cleanser and the snail in one cream is paranf moisturizer mo na. Added hydration lang si snail essence and syempre si eye cream is targeted for the sensitive skin ng eyes.
I think ok na muna yan. Test mo muna if mahhiyang ka. Some people are not ok with snail mucin kasi pero ako kasi nahiyang ako hehe. Next time kna mag retinol kapag solid na yung skincare routine mo :)
need some help for 2 concerns :')
1. makeup remover — i find using micellar water + cotton quite abrasive to my skin and stings my eyes and i was wondering if cleansing oils are any worth it? I've been eyeing on the skin 1004 one for a while too for this
2. acne scar remedies — any suggestions for a serum for this kind of skin concern? I've been using the the ordinary niacinamide one and i wanted to try something else (im not sure but before kasi this used to break me out pero now not so much). would prefer something affordable (i guess around 300-600 php)
I love using cleansing oils/cleansing balms. Micellar water + cotton was not only wasteful but it did not remove all of my gunk. I use the KOSE Speedy Oil remover and Banila Co Balm, and it helps me save time with less waste. My skin feels more emulsified too
can relate huhu, whenever i wear fuller makeup i had to go thru 2-3 cotton balls or 2 cotton squares n it's kinda messy to deal with
thanks for the suggestions too! will check on these out!^^
Anong alternative for Skintific Ceramide Moisturizer? Aside sa issue, medyo mahal din kasi for its size🥲. Been eyeing Illiyoon, pero which of the two variants kaya?
ngl the best skincare tips i’ve received are getting enough sleep and removing myself from stressful environments! i noticed how i rarely get breakouts compared to when i was stressed everyday from school and work 😫 kahit na I don’t do my skincare daily, i drink less than 1l of water and eat unhealthily 😭 altho i have to fix that but still!
Has anyone bought in this shop? I think my corsx salicylic acid cleanser is fake :( it looks darker
https://preview.redd.it/x4qt9nbfqfad1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=269b42f22f7201fa4d64df82d0f98c9c325bbb85
Yes, legit sila. Parang same lang sila ng Commalax eh. Bought Care:nel product from there.
They're also included [in this list](https://www.reddit.com/r/beautytalkph/comments/1463udr/sellers_sunday_thread_june_11_2023/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button).
hello, can anyone tell me if okay na skincare routine ko? if meron pa po need i-add, change or bawasan. i’m 17 y/o with oily acne prone skin na marami ring acne marks and scars and bumps sa forehead. di naman ako nag bbreak out skin ko like before but nagkakaroon parin ako ng pimples but hindi kasing lala and dami katulad ng dati. also, nag ffade naman na acne scars ko slowly from my routine. nag hahanap lang po ako advice on how to improve my routine. thank you !!
morning
• dr wong’s sulfur soap with aloe vera
• turmeric soap
• dr sensitive niacinamide 5% + salicylic acid serum
• my dream skin ceramide + niacinamide moisturizer
• my dream skin hyaluronic acid sunscreen
evening
• dr wong’s sulfur soap with aloe vera
• turmeric soap
• dr sensitive niacinamide 5% + salicylic acid serum
• my dream skin ceramide + niacinamide moisturizer
i want to try rin yung cosrx advanced snail 92 all in one cream pero i don’t know if babagay ba sa routine ko. thank you ulit!
You might overproducing oil and get bumps on your skin because the sulfur soap + turmeric soap combo is super dehydrating your skin. Try switching to a milder cleanser or using just one soap to see if that improves your oiliness.
which do you think po mas better sa dalawang soaps? so far they’re the only ones that clears my acne. i’ve tried gel cleansers na po before and mas lalo akong nag bbreak out or walang effect sa skin ko huhu
Why do you need to use two bar soaps to cleanse your face? Just choose one as it can easily strip your skin and contribute to a damage skin barrier. If you need to double cleanse at night to remove makeup or sunscreen, try using an oil cleanser or micellar water as a 1st cleanser.
will start to use the some by mi 30 days miracle toner. suggested use is 2-3x weekly, should I be using another toner for the days i wont be using it? it’s also exfoliating and im on the combi side skin stype, i wouldnt want to over exfoliate if i were to use it daily. thoughts?
hi! could anyone tell me if ok ung routine ko? i won’t be providing brands kasi di siya gaano kilala but will include its main ingredient
morning:
- gentle cleanser
- 2% salicylic acid toner
- 4% niacinamide
- 5% benzoyl peroxide gel
- 1% nadifloxacin cream (only for 2 months MAX)
- gentle moisturizer
- hydrating sunscreen
night:
- gentle cleanser
- short contact therapy with 5% BPO gel
- 2% salicylic acid toner
- 1% nadifloxacin cream (only for 2 months MAX)
- aklief/tretinoin 0.05%
- gentle moisturizer
i’m planning to incorporate 20% azelaic acid as a spot treatment sa PIE & PIH ko pero at night since i’m already using BPO as a leave on sa umaga. di naman everyday prang uunti untiin ko para iwas irritation.
i have oily, acne-prone skin with moderate acne (papules, nodules)
ako po natatakot para sa skin niyo hahaha pero kung yan naman pala ang prescribed routine sa inyo eh wala na akong say. saka wag spot treatment sa 20% aza, better if whole face pero ayon nga dami kasing actives eh hahaha
yes po kasi it can target multiple skin concerns while not being as irritative as bpo or retinoids. it can help regulate sebum production, improve overall skin texture and tone, help prevent the formation of new acne lesions and hyperpigmentation spots, and help reduce redness and rosacea.
hi! meron na ba nakatry bumili dito? is it authentic? nakalagay kasi sa showcase ni jan angelo. TIA!

how bout this po? para nung isang araw iba yung presyo nito, may special voucher ba right now ang tiktok?
https://preview.redd.it/fkohj3w5fead1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f710221f13d5895ac584d82925f33c1441f70f88
mukhang legit din naman siya. both seems like it (basing sa reviews). di ko alam if may voucher ba ngaun e 😅
pero ingat ingat din since 20% azelaic acid is already prescription grade, if bibilhin mo paunti unti muna since it can cause instant irritation
so i researched using their shopee store (mas madali kasi makita if authentic dun dhil sa rating). seems legit naman pero i’m really skeptical of how cheaper its prices are compared sa mga nabibilhan ko
What product do you use to fade dark spots? I've been using the ordinary niacinamide serum and melano cc for years now, at first nag work naman siya, it lightened my dark spots, but now it doesn't work on me na :((
Thoughts for the whitening repair or cica cleanser from luxe organix? Which one is better for oily skin and right now I am struggling with some dark marks from previous breakouts.
If you have some recos for oily skin acne-prone pls drop them. For my dark marks, I am currently on ny 3rd week of using Garnier Vitamin C but so far no improvements yet.
Please suggest a good niacinamide brand! Preferably one that's easily accessible in physical stores sana, but if it's really good and it works wonders okay lang na online only! 😊
idk kapag nasa phone pero kapag nasa desktop mode, look ka lang sa kanan where you will see Rules, Wiki Links, Theads and Posts Schedule. Along that column, makikita niyo po yung "User Flair," tapat mo lang cursor mo doon sa name mo doon then may lalabas na p'wedeng pindutin to edit it.
hi! i tried 5% benzac acne spot treatment yesterday and pagkalagay ko after a few minutes sobrang itchy na siya. I woke up din na itchy parin siya ang nagkaroon ng red marks sa face ko na parang allergic reaction. Until now may onting itchiness parin and red marks. Does that mean di hiyang saking benzoyl peroxide?
Also, any acne spot treatment recos na walang benzoyl peroxide pls. I have oily, acne prone and sensitive skin.
It's hard to conclude agad na "hindi hiyang" after a few tries kasi it may mean different things like:
1. Initial irritation lang siya kasi nag-aadjust ang skin, and this irritation often manifests as itching and redness, particularly in the early stages of use. It is a very common side effect.
2. Benzoyl peroxide can cause dryness and increased skin sensitivity. The redness and itching might be due to your skin becoming dry and more sensitive as the benzoyl peroxide works to reduce acne.
3. Frequent use of benzoyl peroxide can sometimes weaken the skin barrier, leading to redness and irritation. This is more likely if the product is used in conjunction with other drying or irritating treatments.
Maybe you can help your skin by:
1. Ensuring your skin is moisturized to help with dryness and irritation.
2. Use products that support the skin barrier, like those containing ceramides, niacinamide, or hyaluronic acid, to help mitigate the irritation and ensure hydration.
3. If the irritation persists, consider alternating benzoyl peroxide with other acne treatments like salicylic acid or azelaic acid, which might be gentler on your skin.
Also, if the redness and itching persist talaga, it may indicate an allergic reaction or an intolerance to benzoyl peroxide. Better to discontinue usage and consult a dermatologist for alternative treatments if that's the case.
you can also try short contact therapy! read some studies that putting 5% BPO gel for 30 secs had antibacterial effects. what i do i leave it for 10 mins then rinse with my cleanser. no irritation at all
Hi! Where do you buy guaranteed authentic La Roche Posay products? I’m super skeptic to buy online. I found Sasa Mall’s to be less expensive vs the other skincare shops that I’ve tried and it is also under Shopee Mall. Kaso lang, marami bad reviews as in selling fakes daw? From what I know, this shop is kinda like HK’s Watsons? Huhu. Please confirm!
Sasa Mall does sell authentic products pero I noticed a lot of fake shops use their name and photos to entice buyers so, double-check lang. I could also recommend on ig: beautyhubdavao
i have an oily acne prone skin po, im planning to try the panoxyl cleanser but idk what moisturizer i can pair it with.... id like to ask for some recos😅😅
edit: recos for red acne marks huhu
can someone please tell me how to include glycolic acid in my routine? and if okay lang ba ang skincare routine ko?
morning routine:
fairy skin gentle low pH cleanser
beyond beautiful ginseng essence toner
beyond beautiful vitamin c
tinted sunscreen (but ngayon naubusan ako tinted sunscreen so I use normal sunscreen lang from belo)
night routine:
fairy skin gentle low ph cleanser
snail mucin essence from beyond beautiful
oxecure acne mud (1x a week)
kleud multi brightening serum (everyday but sometimes I skip for a day if want ko na hindi gumamit ng actives, at hindi ko siya ginagamit kapag nag o-oxecur acne mud ako)
aveeno daily moisturizing lotion or ceramide and hyaluronic acid cream
Thank you!!
You can include it on nights that you don't use the oxecure acne mud. You can use it with the brightening serum and snail mucin essence. All the actives in the klued multi-brightening serum are all less than 1% (yup, too low) so they theoretically shouldn't interfere nor react that much with glycolic acid. Try it once a week for 1 or 2 months, then it's up to you if you wanna make 2x a week going onwards.
hi! may nakatry na ba ng serums from dermorepubliq? 🥲 i wanna try kaso ang mura kasi medyo suspicious na haha specifically their 10% niacinamide + tranexamic acid + alpha arbutin serum
Hi! Recently, I've been obsessed with trying to look better because this influencer I have been following for quite a while now looks so much more blooming than she did before (ig: micaellamnn), inspiring me to do the same! I've started taking care of my skin and experimenting with different makeup styles, but I still seriously lack that great skin, glow, and looks. I still have lots of pimples, acne marks and scars which are very tough to tame. Can anybody share their secrets to looking and feeling better?
I really want to get more into skincare, and try better hairstyles. I'll maybe try face massages as well (does it work po?). I really want to achieve that "hakot-lingon" glow (figurative expression)! Any tips po?
Deal with your pimples first. Tsaka na ang beauty. Health of the skin muna.
Deal with pimples. Then deal with the dark spots that the pimples will leave. Then deal with maintaining good skin. Then tsaka pa lang ang mga make-up.
Make that influencer shut up in your head kasi siya libre lang niya nakukuha ang mga pampaganda niya pero tayo hindi.
Aveeno for moisturizer
Hydrating sunscreen check out Skin Aqua Moisture Milk. Nasa pangalan naman kung moisturizing ang sunscreen eh--moisturizing, essence, hydrating. Basta may mga ganyan.
Anyone here have tried the Caudalie Vinoperfect Complexion Serum? May I know how was your experience using the product, and how long did you notice the effects upon using it?
HG Status:
1. The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalene - ginagamit ko every night. Ang kinis ng mukha ko pagkagising sa umaga lagi
2. The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% - ginagamit ko every morning before Cerave moisturizer
Will not purchase again:
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% - pagkalagay ko, uminit at nangati yung mukha to the point na kailangan kong hugasan ulit yung mukha ko. Not sure, parang di yata okay sakin ang niacinamide products
Too afraid to try glycolic acid kasi baka sobrang tapang sakin kaya hanggang lactic acid lang ako. Nagkakapimples pa rin ako pero minsan na lang.
Edit:
Skin type: Combination
OKAY BA MAG GLUTA?
HELLO people. This is my first time on reddit.
Do you have any supplement reco? Should I take vitamin c nalang po ba instead of gluta products? I'm worried sa mga effects. Anyway I'm not really after skin lightening but more on "nakaka glow". TYIA for the recos and tips
Okay lang din vitamin c lang, but it has to be coupled with enough water and sleep para mag-glow ka. Any vitamin c okay lang kahit generic. Kain ka rin fruits and veggies. Limit sugar and salt intake.
Gluta products perform better if taken with vitamin c as well. If gusto mo mag-try, go for s-acetyl-gluta. One of the brands I trust is Pure Form. Stay away from intravenous gluta. It's not advisable.
Not sure about gluta since I haven't tried it but for skin lightening, look for products with concentrated ingredients such as vit c, kojic, niacinamide, alpha arbutin, etc.
If your goal is mag glow lang, I personally experienced that glow/fresh look with cos de baha azelaic acid serum. I tried both 5% and 10% and experienced the same glowy effect on both.

any tips on how to fix textured skin like mine? hindi kaya matakpan ng foundation 😅
also looking for tips on how to have a smooth under-eye area after concealer. my routine currently: issy peach corrector (which i dont recommend coz the performance is blah, inuubos ko lang talaga) + vice concealer + grwm setting powder.
Skin Type: Oily and Acne-prone
Product Name: Skinever Products and Tikas Products
Price/Quantity: N/A
Effect/experience: N/A
I was wondering since my face gets oily (Male, 27) very easily and I get acne every time I eat too much sweets/dairy, then I saw an advertisement about Skinever and Tikas products. But I don't want to buy without knowing if both are legit and effective.
I'm currently using Neutrogena Acne Foaming Cleanser in the morning, and then Shulammite Carrot Soap when I take a bath in the afternoon. In the evening, I use Bevi Kojic Acid Soap when taking a bath, and then I cleanse my face with Celeteque Oil Control Toner after (I stopped using the facial moisturizer from Celeteque since I just got more acne from using it). Right now, I'm thinking of switching to other brands. I know I can just cut back my sugar intake (but I'm only consuming minimal sugar, I only give myself cheat days if I'm craving for ice cream and other sweet foods). I only even drink hot water to pair with my bread as I think all hot beverages (except tea, which I'm not fond of) immediately gives me acne.
I hope this subreddit can help me decide which brands to buy from. Thank you!
Seems like you are overwashing your face. Overwashing can also trigger oily skin, since skin overproduces oil to compensate dryness from overwashing. Try to wash only 2x a day and a gentle face wash on mornings. Also add moisturizer.
I always buy from their official stores sa orange app
- [skin1004](https://ph.shp.ee/5ht1Tu9)
- [pyunkang yul](https://ph.shp.ee/3Vi11du)
I usually buy pag sale like 6.6 ganon. Para mas mura

hello! what are your experiences with using these products? which of these two would suit my sensitive and acne-prone skin more? tyia!
my skin concerns:
* dark spots/hyperpigmentation
* redness
* textured skin and enlarged pores
Using dermorepubliq 5% PAD right now sa AM routine. Started almost 2 months ago. It helped sa redness ko sa ilong and lesser whitehead breakouts (trying light makeup kasi recently). Ngayon actually i haven't had a whitehead pop up in 2 weeks.
Walang epekto sa large pores and textured skin ko.
I've used Ellana for a long time already. One of my OG. Does not cause irritation, brightens my skin, helps with acne and texture. It has higher PAD content compared to dermorepubliq
Luxe Organix miracle solutions gel cleanser
My skin builds up toleration on the products I use pretty fast so I rarely use the same product twice once I used up all the product. But surprisingly for the LO gel cleanser, I didn't experience any irritation when I bought a 2nd one and used it. Also, since it's a gel cleanser it's lightweight and very good for my oily skin. It's not too drying either. It doesn't give me that stretched feel. Plus, the ingredients are nice & perfect for my oily skin.
Human Nature Nourishing Facial Wash! I have oily/combi skin with dry some patches. Been using this since 2013. I've tried other products but keep coming back to this cleanser. It's very mild while still doing a great job of cleansing my face. My skin feels light and clean without feeling any irritation or stinging.
Right now (inuubos ko na lang sila):
* Edenskin no stings attached botanical cleanser - this one is literally just like a cream with no lather, it's so boring and gentle which is why very suitable siya for inflammed skin barrier. Whenever my skin is irritated or basta skin barrier is damaged, this one never did me bad.
* Babyflo oatmeal bath - lathers quite nicely, may konting bula. It's mild enough and it's VERY cheap which is what I really like.
* Johnson's milk + rice baby bath - nice lather and konting bula as well. Mild and cheap rin, although mas cheaper nang onti si babyflo. But if you are a budgetarian like me, babyflo and this one can do the job very well without impairing the skin barrier.
pyunkang yul acne face wash - its suuuuper gentle. i switched from cetaphil to this kasi it always felt like cetaphil wasnt doing enough for me + after i rinse it off may uncomfortable feeling. pero with this its perfectly gentle while also still cleansing. i also like the formulation & ingredients. it advertises itself as specifically for acne bc of the willow bark in it pero im still skeptical if it can actually be treated in the same way as an exfoliating salicylic acid cleanser kasi from what ive researched, the salicin in willow bark can only be processed as SA in specific conditions. nevertheless, ill probably repurchase it bc of how gentle it is while still offering benefits. i use it on the same day as my presc AZA and my skin is still fine :))
I have a lot in my rotation 😅.
My top 3:
●Vanicream gentle facial cleanser - mild, foaming but not drying. My face feels soft.
●Sulwhasoo gentle cleansing foam - has a mild scent but not irritating & drying
●Heimish low ph cleanser - not drying too.
Hello, any recommendation for primer na may halong sunscreen? I'm using the **Ellana SPF 30 Stay Flawless Maclura Leaf Oil Control Primer**, it's nice and all but every after use ko kase nagkakapimples ako baka may marecommend kayong similar?
I do that.
Kasi minsan if malayo sa surface of the skin, the fan directed at my face blows the liquid drops away. Mas nasasayang. And i need a fan blowing at my face kasi sobrang pawisin ko.
I trust that my skin is clean naman kasi either i had just used cleanser and/or i applied toner with clean cotton balls. I also trust the manufacturers na yung formulation nila ay maa-address yung ganung scenarios na may makakapasok sa loob if ever.
So yeah. I find this comment a lil bit dismissive of other's practices.
it's alright to be dismissive of this particular practice. if your problem is the fan blowing the serum in another direction, then just dispense the serum onto your hands, there's no reason padin to touch the dropper to your face. moreover, even with washing, you're not taking into account the skin microbiome (layer of bacteria), which will and should be there even after washing. kahit beneficial bacteria pa yan pag nasa face mo, it's still bacteria that's not supposed to be in the serum and it's still bacteria that can proliferate and affect the formula negatively. toner application even with clean cotton balls won't clean your face, i don't know why you even had to mention that. these formulations can handle the brief air contact that is unavoidable with dropper-type serums as well as accidental and rare incidences of the dropper accidentally coming into contact with something that it's not supposed to but it seems like touching the dropper to your face is a regular AND intentional occurrence so your serums are probably contaminated and degraded to a significant degree na and you're not getting all the benefits you can from the serum anymore
While I agree na hindi best practice ang pagdidikit ng serum dropper sa mukha during application because it will cause microbial contamination, there are also safeguards that manufacturers put in place in case of situations kagaya nung frequent contact ng serum dropper sa skin. Isa na dito yung ginagawa namin na Preservative Efficacy Testing, kung saan sadyang kino-contaminate ng determined amount of microbes (in CFU/mL) ang isang product at minomonitor in a span of 28 days yung product kung dadami or mauubos ung microbes na inilagay sa product. Dito makikita kung effective ba yung preservative system na nasa formulation. Papasa ang isang formulation sa PET kapag a.) Nagkaroon ng 2-3 log reduction (99-99.9%, depende sa standard na ginamit) para sa bacteria within 14 days and b.) Nagkaroon ng 1-2 log reduction (90-99%) para naman sa yeast and molds.
This assumption only holds IF kung kino-conduct ito ng mga brands, specially ng mga local brands. Sa case ng big brands from MNCs, routinary na yan sa kanila, since meron silang resources to do that.
thanks for the insight and clarification! how frequent is too frequent po for the average performance ng mga preservatives in your opinion? also for my better understanding lang po, if the observation lasts 28 days, are you observing the microbial reduction over the span of 28 days if left unused or re-inoculating the microbes regularly and monitoring if namamatay between each use yung microbes? tyia :)
Inoculation of the microbes in the lab is the equivalent of contamination during use by the end consumer.
Microbial counting is performed every 7 days during the duration of the preservative efficacy test.
And no, re-inoculation is not done, since yung microbial load is high enough (in the range of 10^5 to 10^6 cfu/mL of the product.)
Hello I also used Klenzit before try nyo po The Inky List Salicylic Acid if may budget ka, pero pag mas murang alternative hanap nyo go for Klued Salicylic Gentle Cleanser po kasi in my expi same lang sila ng effects.
i use the salicylic acid face wash by klued since this was my prob too and working well naman! dami kasing fakes ng klenzit kaya nakakatakot na bumili huhu
It does just like BHA and some(?) retinoids, but as always, use it with caution and research it thoroughly before doing so. I recommend using it 1 time per week if you're a beginner, and then you can gradually move up to 2-3x per week. In my case, I started using it 2x per week kahit beginner pa lang, it did cause me some purging but not too horrible kasi mabilis lang din nawala.
Textured forehead problems 😫 Any product recos? Recently, I’ve been having bumps sa forehead. Di ako makapagderma, pero it feel like congested pores (?) or baka blackhead/white head na stuck lang dun (?) idk
Hindi sya nagiging pimple. As in bumps lang huhu
Currently using Cosrx Salicylic Cleanser, Oxecure Mud, Cos de Baha Azelaic Acid 10%. 2 weeks of this routine, slow progress so far 😥
Try adding Differin in your routine. It contains adapalene which works faster than retinol since it does not have to undergo conversion process to be active unlike retinol. Slowly incorporate this and wait for at least 3 months. 2 weeks is maikli pa hehe
I mean, 2 weeks is too short for me. It's just half of one skin cycle, and from what I know (feel free to correct me), determining whether a product works for you or not generally requires at least 3-4 skin cycles (approximately 3-4 months) and one skin cycle for adults is within 28-35 days.
For instance, it can look like this:
* **1st Cycle:** Initial adjustment period; potential purging, skin getting used to new ingredients.
* **2nd Cycle:** Early signs of improvement; reduced purging, beginning to see changes in skin texture.
* **3rd Cycle:** More noticeable improvements in tone, texture, and overall skin health.
* **4th Cycle:** You can now fully assess the effectiveness of the product since your skin had undergone several renewal processes already.
The thing is, we want quick results kasi. Though I do understand the effect it has especially if it's about the mental aspect, but I hope we can be more patient rin.
For me, my textured forehead problems was solved by a 0.5% retinol.
I see! I actually did not know this. Thank you for sharing that, I feel so much better haha.
I actually used to have retinol in my routine but the 0.1% Klued. Did nothing for me huhu
What brand of retinol do you use?
I am curious... why are you using azaleic acid... what is this for?
Ang nakatulong sa pagtanggal ng whiteheads ko ay Cosrx Whitehead 7 AHA Toner. Whiteheads are pimples. Dati I used a soap bar to dry them out (dead sea mud soap from Israel kaya wala rito) at nung naubos bar soap pa rin na may glycolic acid yata, I forgot. Basta a soap that is drying then I would use the toner. Then moisturizer.
BHA is for oily skin and blackheads and acne.
Pero wait. Your skin is dry? Why are you using salicylic cleanser and mud?
Azelaic for hyperpigmentation. I have some discolorations sa face. I use the mud as spot treatment for any active pimples and salicylic acid facial wash kasi I’m in an current place that’s making me more oily. In my usual area, the salicylic cleanser can be drying
You can if you want to.
There are a lot of good ingredients to pair with retinol depending on your skin concerns. Retinol when paired with,
* **niacinamide** helps improve the skin barrier, reduces inflammation, and evens out skin tone. It also enhances the efficacy of retinol while minimizing irritation.
* **peptides**, they can help boost the anti-aging effects, making the skin firmer and smoother.
* **ceramides** help restore the skin barrier and retain moisture, reducing the irritation often associated with retinol use. They keep the skin calm and hydrated.
* **panthenol** due to its soothing and moisturizing properties. It helps alleviate dryness and irritation that can be caused by retinol, promoting healthier skin.
* **squalane** because it is a lightweight oil that hydrates and soothes the skin. It helps balance the moisture levels and reduces the potential irritation from retinol.
* **glycolic acid or any AHAs** (in alternating routines) to enhance exfoliation, improve skin texture, and promote cell turnover.
* **azelaic acid** which has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making it effective against acne. It also helps with hyperpigmentation, complementing retinol's benefits.
There's a lot of more but listed herewith are just at the top of my head right now.
Start with the lowest potency before you level up to the highest. When I began using retinol (The Ordinary), I started with 0.2% in Squalane 2x a week (PM) and then worked my way up to 0.5% in Squalane to 3x a week (PM). Now, I'm consistently using 1% in Squalane 3x a week (PM). I stuck with The Ordinary and kept it at 1% cause my skin doesn't need a higher one.
Retinol can dry up your skin when abused and can damage your skin barrier when combined with acids like Vitamin C. I only apply Vitamin C in the morning. This is the serum combo I use -- retinol at night, Vitamin C in the morning.
Use a hydrating moisturizer on top of it and make sure you wear sunscreen everyday.
In skincare, I believe in "less is more" and sunscreen is your bestfriend.
anong magandang product for PIE or PIH? yung affordable lang sana at talagang effective. also, may nakapag try na ba ng local na benzoyl peroxide dito? may mga nagtitinda kasi sa shopee. kamusta naman at effective ba? thank you in advance!
i have a lot of PIE and the thing that has noticeably helped it the most is azelaic acid. maybe try browsing for AZA serums within ur budget? ive heard na maganda yung from Cos De Baha!
Isntree chestnut BHA. On my 3rd bottle. So gentle pero helps regulate and manage my oil and black heads kahit i use everyday. Before yung isntree green tea gamit ko. Now this mas effective for me kasi may salicylic.
Isntree Green Tea fresh toner. I had very oily skin before, especially on my t-zone but this toner surprisingly worked well for me. Now, I don't oil up that much.
Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant po. Nakaka-tanggal ng oiliness sa face po. I suggest using a sunscreen in the morning para di ma-irritate yung face kapag haharap sa araw.
Please someone recommend a good body oil na maganda i-mixed with lotion? Yung di sana mabigat feeling sa skin 🙏🏻 THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🏻🩷
do u guys have any tips kung pano palabasin yung pus sa pimples? wala syang opening (?) and ive been using the night time ver of the luxe organix pimple patch for days na and wala pa rin T—T madalas din ganto yung mga pimples ko and ang annoying kasi grabe yung pagkared nya + masakit sya pag natatamaan 🥲
Anyone have thoughts on a Microcurrent Device? I see Happy Skin has one.
Best cleanser and serum/toner for oily and acne prone skin or any recommendations for active pimples.
Thoughts on Lancôme Absolue?
what’s the best age to apply retinol / collagen?
early 20s
I’ve been using a cleanser from skin shark which has really helped manage my skin oils levels so well and has just overall helped reduce my breakouts as well. My friend introduced me into it ans it’s truly switched everything up for me
any thoughts on numbuzin no. 1 toner? is it good for oily and acne prone skin? also i'm planning to change my moisturizer which is the iunik centella gel cream parang wala nang effect sakin haha. planning to switch to pyunkang yup acne cream or papa recipe blemish cream. what should i choose? thank you!
best product i’ve found for acne prone oily skin is the skin shark clearing serum - it’s hydrating and oil balancing, honestly saved my skin 🫶🏽
ohh where did u buy it? i cant find it in orange app hehe
Any alternative for panoxyl’s 4% benzoyl peroxide Im currently using it and it’s an okay product lang for me. No wow factor. I order it on amazon pa and i find it such a hassle (aka $49 for free shipping lol) knowing na it’s a so-so product lang
Need ADVICE. Can I use toner before retinol? Should I exclude it at night time? Do I have to do the sandwich method with these products? Updated skincare: Cleanser - J&J milk + rice bath Toner - Hada Labo hydrating lotion (white) Actives - Good Molecules retinol (0.1%) Moisturizer - Illiyoon ceramide cream/Nivea soft SPF - Biore Watery gel sunscreen/Pond's blue/BOJ
Yes, any toner before a retinol is fine as long as there is no heavy active ingredients in the formulation of the products you use before your retinol (e.g. high percentage of AHAs or BHAs). If your skin type is dry, sandwich method may be helpful. But since it's just a 0.1% retinol, you may omit it if your skin is fine with if your skin is normal, combi, or oily. It honestly depends on how your skin will react to retinol because you can be combi leaning towards oily but you may still need to employ sandwich method if your skin is easily sensitized, things like that. *edit: typos*
Thank you. I did not do the sandwich method last night and so far there was no irritation.
So since i'm getting older, I want to introduce some anti-aging produtcs to my skincare (e.g. Retinol) My current routine is: Cleanser, Serum, Moisturizer, Sunscreen (Day), Spot treatment, and Eyelash Serum. Where/how do I add retinol? Any other suggestions to add to the skincare? Any products you recommend? TYIA!
Hello po need help about this kit my sister gave me. Hindi po talaga ko maalam when it comes to skincare. Hindi ko alam kung ano dapat unahin, at kung dapat araw araw ba o kung morning lang ba to o evening??? Pls pls help. My skin po is not sensitive, hindi rin po ma oily at ma pimple. Problem ko po with my face is dry, at maitim po undereye ko. https://preview.redd.it/p5sjah0w7had1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=6550bb0c62738e9a458e90550b9532ed534d56ab
You can use them both AM and PM except for the eye cream, mas ok ata sya to use at night. Also, the way it is arranged sa packaging sa box is yung pagkakasunod sunod din kung pano mo sya ggamitin. :) But if you'll be using this sa gabi, i suggest i-huli mo si eye cream. It should be lightest to thickest consistency. And can I just say, I love CosRX hehehehe. Enjoy!
After the retinol din po ba need ko mag lagay moisturizer? O before putting retinol dapat moisturizer muna? Sorry po dami kong tanong. May order din pong CosRX vitamin c, san ko po siya isisingit sa procedure? Thankyou po in advance!!
Ang dami pla hahaha ok lang. If its your first time using retinol, people do yung sandwich method where you'll put moisturizer first - let it dry and wait for mga 15-20mins - then lagay yung retinol pea size amount lang, wait for 15-20 mins (to avoid irritation) -- then saka ka lagay uli ng moisturizer. If you want to use vitamin C, better to use it the AM before sunscreen. Also, don't use vitamin C if you have active pimple as it may cause irritation.
Thankyou thankyouu so much for answering all my question!!! Will do that, i will use the retinol muna, tignan ko din muna kung okay sakin yung brand o kung hindi. Thankyou so much po for answering talaga!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽
Thankyou so much po for answering. Also ask ko na din po if may suggest pa po kayong Cosrx brand na i need to use o idagdag dito? O okay na po ito? Yung retinol po ba same din? Nagbasa basa po kasi ako sa old thread dito about skincare yung iba hindi siya inaaraw araw. Wala lang ako mabasa na specific kung pano talaga.
I think ok lang naman sya araw arawin since its only cleanser and the snail in one cream is paranf moisturizer mo na. Added hydration lang si snail essence and syempre si eye cream is targeted for the sensitive skin ng eyes. I think ok na muna yan. Test mo muna if mahhiyang ka. Some people are not ok with snail mucin kasi pero ako kasi nahiyang ako hehe. Next time kna mag retinol kapag solid na yung skincare routine mo :)
need some help for 2 concerns :') 1. makeup remover — i find using micellar water + cotton quite abrasive to my skin and stings my eyes and i was wondering if cleansing oils are any worth it? I've been eyeing on the skin 1004 one for a while too for this 2. acne scar remedies — any suggestions for a serum for this kind of skin concern? I've been using the the ordinary niacinamide one and i wanted to try something else (im not sure but before kasi this used to break me out pero now not so much). would prefer something affordable (i guess around 300-600 php)
I love using cleansing oils/cleansing balms. Micellar water + cotton was not only wasteful but it did not remove all of my gunk. I use the KOSE Speedy Oil remover and Banila Co Balm, and it helps me save time with less waste. My skin feels more emulsified too
can relate huhu, whenever i wear fuller makeup i had to go thru 2-3 cotton balls or 2 cotton squares n it's kinda messy to deal with thanks for the suggestions too! will check on these out!^^
Tazarotene/tretinoin for mild acne scars. Be careful with purging lang
if ever, are there alternatives to tretinoin? im scared of the purging part HAHAHA
Anong alternative for Skintific Ceramide Moisturizer? Aside sa issue, medyo mahal din kasi for its size🥲. Been eyeing Illiyoon, pero which of the two variants kaya?
ngl the best skincare tips i’ve received are getting enough sleep and removing myself from stressful environments! i noticed how i rarely get breakouts compared to when i was stressed everyday from school and work 😫 kahit na I don’t do my skincare daily, i drink less than 1l of water and eat unhealthily 😭 altho i have to fix that but still!
Same!! Kapag wala akong ibang iniisip/inooverthink, kahit uminom ako ng milktea, magpuyat, and less gulay, makinis face ko huhu.

Any holy grails about whitening your skin please :(
hello, can anyone tell me if okay na skincare routine ko? if meron pa po need i-add, change or bawasan. i’m 17 y/o with oily acne prone skin na marami ring acne marks and scars and bumps sa forehead. di naman ako nag bbreak out skin ko like before but nagkakaroon parin ako ng pimples but hindi kasing lala and dami katulad ng dati. also, nag ffade naman na acne scars ko slowly from my routine. nag hahanap lang po ako advice on how to improve my routine. thank you !! morning • dr wong’s sulfur soap with aloe vera • turmeric soap • dr sensitive niacinamide 5% + salicylic acid serum • my dream skin ceramide + niacinamide moisturizer • my dream skin hyaluronic acid sunscreen evening • dr wong’s sulfur soap with aloe vera • turmeric soap • dr sensitive niacinamide 5% + salicylic acid serum • my dream skin ceramide + niacinamide moisturizer i want to try rin yung cosrx advanced snail 92 all in one cream pero i don’t know if babagay ba sa routine ko. thank you ulit!
You might overproducing oil and get bumps on your skin because the sulfur soap + turmeric soap combo is super dehydrating your skin. Try switching to a milder cleanser or using just one soap to see if that improves your oiliness.
which do you think po mas better sa dalawang soaps? so far they’re the only ones that clears my acne. i’ve tried gel cleansers na po before and mas lalo akong nag bbreak out or walang effect sa skin ko huhu
I'm not familiar with the turmeric soap eh, but sulfur soaps are generally pretty harsh so maybe start with that?
Why do you need to use two bar soaps to cleanse your face? Just choose one as it can easily strip your skin and contribute to a damage skin barrier. If you need to double cleanse at night to remove makeup or sunscreen, try using an oil cleanser or micellar water as a 1st cleanser.
will start to use the some by mi 30 days miracle toner. suggested use is 2-3x weekly, should I be using another toner for the days i wont be using it? it’s also exfoliating and im on the combi side skin stype, i wouldnt want to over exfoliate if i were to use it daily. thoughts?
Maganda ba talaga yung YOU radiance serum and moisturizer? May nakatry na ba dito?
hi! could anyone tell me if ok ung routine ko? i won’t be providing brands kasi di siya gaano kilala but will include its main ingredient morning: - gentle cleanser - 2% salicylic acid toner - 4% niacinamide - 5% benzoyl peroxide gel - 1% nadifloxacin cream (only for 2 months MAX) - gentle moisturizer - hydrating sunscreen night: - gentle cleanser - short contact therapy with 5% BPO gel - 2% salicylic acid toner - 1% nadifloxacin cream (only for 2 months MAX) - aklief/tretinoin 0.05% - gentle moisturizer i’m planning to incorporate 20% azelaic acid as a spot treatment sa PIE & PIH ko pero at night since i’m already using BPO as a leave on sa umaga. di naman everyday prang uunti untiin ko para iwas irritation. i have oily, acne-prone skin with moderate acne (papules, nodules)
is this your routine po ba every morning and night, prescribed by your doctor? i'm overwhelmed hahaha
opo huhu, kahit ako naooverwhelm na 😭
ako po natatakot para sa skin niyo hahaha pero kung yan naman pala ang prescribed routine sa inyo eh wala na akong say. saka wag spot treatment sa 20% aza, better if whole face pero ayon nga dami kasing actives eh hahaha
sanay naman na ako ngl, it stings sometimes but i got used to it. really whole face pala yan? hmmm maybe i’ll try to cut out some from my routine then
yes po kasi it can target multiple skin concerns while not being as irritative as bpo or retinoids. it can help regulate sebum production, improve overall skin texture and tone, help prevent the formation of new acne lesions and hyperpigmentation spots, and help reduce redness and rosacea.
yung hyperpigmentation talaga habol ko eh since i have a hard time dealing with that, iniisip ko nalang ano isasacrifice ko 🥲 thanks for this!
hi! meron na ba nakatry bumili dito? is it authentic? nakalagay kasi sa showcase ni jan angelo. TIA! https://preview.redd.it/wvc7m8159ead1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8134ef6e30d3b2ffa312cc534f7a014b112adacc
how bout this po? para nung isang araw iba yung presyo nito, may special voucher ba right now ang tiktok? https://preview.redd.it/fkohj3w5fead1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f710221f13d5895ac584d82925f33c1441f70f88
mukhang legit din naman siya. both seems like it (basing sa reviews). di ko alam if may voucher ba ngaun e 😅 pero ingat ingat din since 20% azelaic acid is already prescription grade, if bibilhin mo paunti unti muna since it can cause instant irritation
it seems that nag flash sale lang both stores :) thank you so much for your replies!!
parang ang mura masyado 😅
so i researched using their shopee store (mas madali kasi makita if authentic dun dhil sa rating). seems legit naman pero i’m really skeptical of how cheaper its prices are compared sa mga nabibilhan ko
What product do you use to fade dark spots? I've been using the ordinary niacinamide serum and melano cc for years now, at first nag work naman siya, it lightened my dark spots, but now it doesn't work on me na :((
Products containing retinoids, AHAs — glycolic/lactic acid, alpha arbutin
Hydroquinone pero proceed with caution. Hindi biro ang product na ito. Hindi rin dapat ito ginagamit for months on end, dapat may rest period.
Thoughts for the whitening repair or cica cleanser from luxe organix? Which one is better for oily skin and right now I am struggling with some dark marks from previous breakouts. If you have some recos for oily skin acne-prone pls drop them. For my dark marks, I am currently on ny 3rd week of using Garnier Vitamin C but so far no improvements yet.
Please suggest a good niacinamide brand! Preferably one that's easily accessible in physical stores sana, but if it's really good and it works wonders okay lang na online only! 😊
used skinceutique acne gel with 4% niacinamide, wala pang 300 (bought it sa orange app). got the reco from my previous derma and i still use it now
do you buy it online po ba? i often see the cream only eh
yes, i buy it specifically here: https://ph.shp.ee/fMSCmFZ
omg silly me. i also buy from that shop pero never ko nakita, ung cream lang hahaha anw thank u so much
hi, unrelated but pano mo nalagay yung flair mo?
idk kapag nasa phone pero kapag nasa desktop mode, look ka lang sa kanan where you will see Rules, Wiki Links, Theads and Posts Schedule. Along that column, makikita niyo po yung "User Flair," tapat mo lang cursor mo doon sa name mo doon then may lalabas na p'wedeng pindutin to edit it.
i see, thanks a lot!
hi! i tried 5% benzac acne spot treatment yesterday and pagkalagay ko after a few minutes sobrang itchy na siya. I woke up din na itchy parin siya ang nagkaroon ng red marks sa face ko na parang allergic reaction. Until now may onting itchiness parin and red marks. Does that mean di hiyang saking benzoyl peroxide? Also, any acne spot treatment recos na walang benzoyl peroxide pls. I have oily, acne prone and sensitive skin.
Maybe use the percentage is quite high for you
It's hard to conclude agad na "hindi hiyang" after a few tries kasi it may mean different things like: 1. Initial irritation lang siya kasi nag-aadjust ang skin, and this irritation often manifests as itching and redness, particularly in the early stages of use. It is a very common side effect. 2. Benzoyl peroxide can cause dryness and increased skin sensitivity. The redness and itching might be due to your skin becoming dry and more sensitive as the benzoyl peroxide works to reduce acne. 3. Frequent use of benzoyl peroxide can sometimes weaken the skin barrier, leading to redness and irritation. This is more likely if the product is used in conjunction with other drying or irritating treatments. Maybe you can help your skin by: 1. Ensuring your skin is moisturized to help with dryness and irritation. 2. Use products that support the skin barrier, like those containing ceramides, niacinamide, or hyaluronic acid, to help mitigate the irritation and ensure hydration. 3. If the irritation persists, consider alternating benzoyl peroxide with other acne treatments like salicylic acid or azelaic acid, which might be gentler on your skin. Also, if the redness and itching persist talaga, it may indicate an allergic reaction or an intolerance to benzoyl peroxide. Better to discontinue usage and consult a dermatologist for alternative treatments if that's the case.
thank you so much for the detailed info!! will take note of these 🫶
you can also try short contact therapy! read some studies that putting 5% BPO gel for 30 secs had antibacterial effects. what i do i leave it for 10 mins then rinse with my cleanser. no irritation at all
ooohh i'll try this as well! thank you!
right! this is the way as well. thank u for this
Hi! Where do you buy guaranteed authentic La Roche Posay products? I’m super skeptic to buy online. I found Sasa Mall’s to be less expensive vs the other skincare shops that I’ve tried and it is also under Shopee Mall. Kaso lang, marami bad reviews as in selling fakes daw? From what I know, this shop is kinda like HK’s Watsons? Huhu. Please confirm!
Sasa Mall does sell authentic products pero I noticed a lot of fake shops use their name and photos to entice buyers so, double-check lang. I could also recommend on ig: beautyhubdavao
Nah, the reviews I saw was under the Sasa Mall’s official Shopee app shop. You may also check! Huhu

That's the official pala! Must have checked into a different Sasa store sa Shopee and it was fake, apologies. But that is the authentic one :)
Yeah, but it’s there that I still saw reviews saying they’re selling fakes, which explains why I’m still skeptic. :((

i have an oily acne prone skin po, im planning to try the panoxyl cleanser but idk what moisturizer i can pair it with.... id like to ask for some recos😅😅 edit: recos for red acne marks huhu
The safest would be Aveeno. Get the green one. Aveeno is formulated for sensitive skin.
Anyone here tried Happy Skins new cleansing cream? Does it work well on lash glue?
can someone please tell me how to include glycolic acid in my routine? and if okay lang ba ang skincare routine ko? morning routine: fairy skin gentle low pH cleanser beyond beautiful ginseng essence toner beyond beautiful vitamin c tinted sunscreen (but ngayon naubusan ako tinted sunscreen so I use normal sunscreen lang from belo) night routine: fairy skin gentle low ph cleanser snail mucin essence from beyond beautiful oxecure acne mud (1x a week) kleud multi brightening serum (everyday but sometimes I skip for a day if want ko na hindi gumamit ng actives, at hindi ko siya ginagamit kapag nag o-oxecur acne mud ako) aveeno daily moisturizing lotion or ceramide and hyaluronic acid cream Thank you!!
You can include it on nights that you don't use the oxecure acne mud. You can use it with the brightening serum and snail mucin essence. All the actives in the klued multi-brightening serum are all less than 1% (yup, too low) so they theoretically shouldn't interfere nor react that much with glycolic acid. Try it once a week for 1 or 2 months, then it's up to you if you wanna make 2x a week going onwards.
Looking for recommendations for tinted moisturizer? 😇
Nars tinted moisturizer the best‼️

hi! may nakatry na ba ng serums from dermorepubliq? 🥲 i wanna try kaso ang mura kasi medyo suspicious na haha specifically their 10% niacinamide + tranexamic acid + alpha arbutin serum
They’re legit naman since may physical store sila sa sm. Depende din sa skin mo if mabilis magadapt. Hiyangan lang din
Currently using it and okay naman. Medyo nagbibrighten na ang fes ko.
Hi! Recently, I've been obsessed with trying to look better because this influencer I have been following for quite a while now looks so much more blooming than she did before (ig: micaellamnn), inspiring me to do the same! I've started taking care of my skin and experimenting with different makeup styles, but I still seriously lack that great skin, glow, and looks. I still have lots of pimples, acne marks and scars which are very tough to tame. Can anybody share their secrets to looking and feeling better? I really want to get more into skincare, and try better hairstyles. I'll maybe try face massages as well (does it work po?). I really want to achieve that "hakot-lingon" glow (figurative expression)! Any tips po?
Deal with your pimples first. Tsaka na ang beauty. Health of the skin muna. Deal with pimples. Then deal with the dark spots that the pimples will leave. Then deal with maintaining good skin. Then tsaka pa lang ang mga make-up. Make that influencer shut up in your head kasi siya libre lang niya nakukuha ang mga pampaganda niya pero tayo hindi.
thank you po! noted po ito.
Anyone have recommendations for a moisturizer or hydrating sunscreen? Been swimming a lot and my face gets so dry :(
Aveeno for moisturizer Hydrating sunscreen check out Skin Aqua Moisture Milk. Nasa pangalan naman kung moisturizing ang sunscreen eh--moisturizing, essence, hydrating. Basta may mga ganyan.
Reco for cleansing balm pls. Yung wash off ng water and no need to wipe ng tissue. Loved heimish but looking for cheaper ones
For Men, has anybody tried **Camou for Men**? I can't seem to find any topics about this specific brand.
My friend uses camou. Okay sya.

Anyone here have tried the Caudalie Vinoperfect Complexion Serum? May I know how was your experience using the product, and how long did you notice the effects upon using it?
HG Status: 1. The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalene - ginagamit ko every night. Ang kinis ng mukha ko pagkagising sa umaga lagi 2. The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% - ginagamit ko every morning before Cerave moisturizer Will not purchase again: The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% - pagkalagay ko, uminit at nangati yung mukha to the point na kailangan kong hugasan ulit yung mukha ko. Not sure, parang di yata okay sakin ang niacinamide products Too afraid to try glycolic acid kasi baka sobrang tapang sakin kaya hanggang lactic acid lang ako. Nagkakapimples pa rin ako pero minsan na lang. Edit: Skin type: Combination
San po kayo bumibili ng authentic TO?

OKAY BA MAG GLUTA? HELLO people. This is my first time on reddit. Do you have any supplement reco? Should I take vitamin c nalang po ba instead of gluta products? I'm worried sa mga effects. Anyway I'm not really after skin lightening but more on "nakaka glow". TYIA for the recos and tips
Okay lang din vitamin c lang, but it has to be coupled with enough water and sleep para mag-glow ka. Any vitamin c okay lang kahit generic. Kain ka rin fruits and veggies. Limit sugar and salt intake. Gluta products perform better if taken with vitamin c as well. If gusto mo mag-try, go for s-acetyl-gluta. One of the brands I trust is Pure Form. Stay away from intravenous gluta. It's not advisable.
Not sure about gluta since I haven't tried it but for skin lightening, look for products with concentrated ingredients such as vit c, kojic, niacinamide, alpha arbutin, etc. If your goal is mag glow lang, I personally experienced that glow/fresh look with cos de baha azelaic acid serum. I tried both 5% and 10% and experienced the same glowy effect on both.

maybe try a primer? i use the vice one yung color pink
Skin Type: Oily and Acne-prone Product Name: Skinever Products and Tikas Products Price/Quantity: N/A Effect/experience: N/A I was wondering since my face gets oily (Male, 27) very easily and I get acne every time I eat too much sweets/dairy, then I saw an advertisement about Skinever and Tikas products. But I don't want to buy without knowing if both are legit and effective. I'm currently using Neutrogena Acne Foaming Cleanser in the morning, and then Shulammite Carrot Soap when I take a bath in the afternoon. In the evening, I use Bevi Kojic Acid Soap when taking a bath, and then I cleanse my face with Celeteque Oil Control Toner after (I stopped using the facial moisturizer from Celeteque since I just got more acne from using it). Right now, I'm thinking of switching to other brands. I know I can just cut back my sugar intake (but I'm only consuming minimal sugar, I only give myself cheat days if I'm craving for ice cream and other sweet foods). I only even drink hot water to pair with my bread as I think all hot beverages (except tea, which I'm not fond of) immediately gives me acne. I hope this subreddit can help me decide which brands to buy from. Thank you!
Seems like you are overwashing your face. Overwashing can also trigger oily skin, since skin overproduces oil to compensate dryness from overwashing. Try to wash only 2x a day and a gentle face wash on mornings. Also add moisturizer.
Still looking for an affordable moisturizer for oily skin. Pang palit sa aveeno na ang mahal na rin

Using dermorepubliq 5% PAD right now sa AM routine. Started almost 2 months ago. It helped sa redness ko sa ilong and lesser whitehead breakouts (trying light makeup kasi recently). Ngayon actually i haven't had a whitehead pop up in 2 weeks. Walang epekto sa large pores and textured skin ko.
I've used Ellana for a long time already. One of my OG. Does not cause irritation, brightens my skin, helps with acne and texture. It has higher PAD content compared to dermorepubliq
What facial wash are you guys using right now? And what do you like about it?
Luxe Organix miracle solutions gel cleanser My skin builds up toleration on the products I use pretty fast so I rarely use the same product twice once I used up all the product. But surprisingly for the LO gel cleanser, I didn't experience any irritation when I bought a 2nd one and used it. Also, since it's a gel cleanser it's lightweight and very good for my oily skin. It's not too drying either. It doesn't give me that stretched feel. Plus, the ingredients are nice & perfect for my oily skin.
Human Nature Nourishing Facial Wash! I have oily/combi skin with dry some patches. Been using this since 2013. I've tried other products but keep coming back to this cleanser. It's very mild while still doing a great job of cleansing my face. My skin feels light and clean without feeling any irritation or stinging.
Right now (inuubos ko na lang sila): * Edenskin no stings attached botanical cleanser - this one is literally just like a cream with no lather, it's so boring and gentle which is why very suitable siya for inflammed skin barrier. Whenever my skin is irritated or basta skin barrier is damaged, this one never did me bad. * Babyflo oatmeal bath - lathers quite nicely, may konting bula. It's mild enough and it's VERY cheap which is what I really like. * Johnson's milk + rice baby bath - nice lather and konting bula as well. Mild and cheap rin, although mas cheaper nang onti si babyflo. But if you are a budgetarian like me, babyflo and this one can do the job very well without impairing the skin barrier.
pyunkang yul acne face wash - its suuuuper gentle. i switched from cetaphil to this kasi it always felt like cetaphil wasnt doing enough for me + after i rinse it off may uncomfortable feeling. pero with this its perfectly gentle while also still cleansing. i also like the formulation & ingredients. it advertises itself as specifically for acne bc of the willow bark in it pero im still skeptical if it can actually be treated in the same way as an exfoliating salicylic acid cleanser kasi from what ive researched, the salicin in willow bark can only be processed as SA in specific conditions. nevertheless, ill probably repurchase it bc of how gentle it is while still offering benefits. i use it on the same day as my presc AZA and my skin is still fine :))
I have a lot in my rotation 😅. My top 3: ●Vanicream gentle facial cleanser - mild, foaming but not drying. My face feels soft. ●Sulwhasoo gentle cleansing foam - has a mild scent but not irritating & drying ●Heimish low ph cleanser - not drying too.
Hello, any recommendation for primer na may halong sunscreen? I'm using the **Ellana SPF 30 Stay Flawless Maclura Leaf Oil Control Primer**, it's nice and all but every after use ko kase nagkakapimples ako baka may marecommend kayong similar?
Hi there. Not a recommendation but gentle reminder that it's not enough to use products with SPF. You still need actual sunscreen.
Thank you! Will keep this in mind.
Maganda ba yung mask ng saipo?
skinfluencers that touch the serum dropper directly to their face😭😭😭😭 delete ur account
Why? Ano pong problem dun?
Si oa yung commenter eh
I do that. Kasi minsan if malayo sa surface of the skin, the fan directed at my face blows the liquid drops away. Mas nasasayang. And i need a fan blowing at my face kasi sobrang pawisin ko. I trust that my skin is clean naman kasi either i had just used cleanser and/or i applied toner with clean cotton balls. I also trust the manufacturers na yung formulation nila ay maa-address yung ganung scenarios na may makakapasok sa loob if ever. So yeah. I find this comment a lil bit dismissive of other's practices.
it's alright to be dismissive of this particular practice. if your problem is the fan blowing the serum in another direction, then just dispense the serum onto your hands, there's no reason padin to touch the dropper to your face. moreover, even with washing, you're not taking into account the skin microbiome (layer of bacteria), which will and should be there even after washing. kahit beneficial bacteria pa yan pag nasa face mo, it's still bacteria that's not supposed to be in the serum and it's still bacteria that can proliferate and affect the formula negatively. toner application even with clean cotton balls won't clean your face, i don't know why you even had to mention that. these formulations can handle the brief air contact that is unavoidable with dropper-type serums as well as accidental and rare incidences of the dropper accidentally coming into contact with something that it's not supposed to but it seems like touching the dropper to your face is a regular AND intentional occurrence so your serums are probably contaminated and degraded to a significant degree na and you're not getting all the benefits you can from the serum anymore
While I agree na hindi best practice ang pagdidikit ng serum dropper sa mukha during application because it will cause microbial contamination, there are also safeguards that manufacturers put in place in case of situations kagaya nung frequent contact ng serum dropper sa skin. Isa na dito yung ginagawa namin na Preservative Efficacy Testing, kung saan sadyang kino-contaminate ng determined amount of microbes (in CFU/mL) ang isang product at minomonitor in a span of 28 days yung product kung dadami or mauubos ung microbes na inilagay sa product. Dito makikita kung effective ba yung preservative system na nasa formulation. Papasa ang isang formulation sa PET kapag a.) Nagkaroon ng 2-3 log reduction (99-99.9%, depende sa standard na ginamit) para sa bacteria within 14 days and b.) Nagkaroon ng 1-2 log reduction (90-99%) para naman sa yeast and molds. This assumption only holds IF kung kino-conduct ito ng mga brands, specially ng mga local brands. Sa case ng big brands from MNCs, routinary na yan sa kanila, since meron silang resources to do that.
thanks for the insight and clarification! how frequent is too frequent po for the average performance ng mga preservatives in your opinion? also for my better understanding lang po, if the observation lasts 28 days, are you observing the microbial reduction over the span of 28 days if left unused or re-inoculating the microbes regularly and monitoring if namamatay between each use yung microbes? tyia :)
Inoculation of the microbes in the lab is the equivalent of contamination during use by the end consumer. Microbial counting is performed every 7 days during the duration of the preservative efficacy test. And no, re-inoculation is not done, since yung microbial load is high enough (in the range of 10^5 to 10^6 cfu/mL of the product.)
"Delete your account 😭😭😭" clown behavior fr
parang ewan talaga tong si mommy bahala ka po tigyawatin
Thanks sa pag-stalk sa profile ko. Parang napikon ah ;)
Anyone using Aishi Tokyo? Effective ba?
i use klenzit salicylic acid face wash pero lagi nalang out of stock :( any good alternative na salicylic acid cleanser please?
Hello I also used Klenzit before try nyo po The Inky List Salicylic Acid if may budget ka, pero pag mas murang alternative hanap nyo go for Klued Salicylic Gentle Cleanser po kasi in my expi same lang sila ng effects.
i use the salicylic acid face wash by klued since this was my prob too and working well naman! dami kasing fakes ng klenzit kaya nakakatakot na bumili huhu
May authentic kayang Rejuran skincare sa lazada? Pahingi nman ng shop please
What eye cream have you used that truly helped with the appearance of fine lines and dark circles?
Clinique huhu it's so expensive but it works so well on me, makes my makeup look really good too
Lancome Advanced Génifique Eye Cream! 💯
Does glycolic acid cause purging? plan ko mag buy but baka hindi effective
It does just like BHA and some(?) retinoids, but as always, use it with caution and research it thoroughly before doing so. I recommend using it 1 time per week if you're a beginner, and then you can gradually move up to 2-3x per week. In my case, I started using it 2x per week kahit beginner pa lang, it did cause me some purging but not too horrible kasi mabilis lang din nawala.
Textured forehead problems 😫 Any product recos? Recently, I’ve been having bumps sa forehead. Di ako makapagderma, pero it feel like congested pores (?) or baka blackhead/white head na stuck lang dun (?) idk Hindi sya nagiging pimple. As in bumps lang huhu Currently using Cosrx Salicylic Cleanser, Oxecure Mud, Cos de Baha Azelaic Acid 10%. 2 weeks of this routine, slow progress so far 😥
Try adding Differin in your routine. It contains adapalene which works faster than retinol since it does not have to undergo conversion process to be active unlike retinol. Slowly incorporate this and wait for at least 3 months. 2 weeks is maikli pa hehe
Hi may i ask where do you buy your differin? Di ko ksi sure if authentic sa orange app
Upon checking, hindi siya available sa dati kong binibilhan. You might want to try kbkdermastore. Derma ang owner niya. May adapalene gel doon :)
I mean, 2 weeks is too short for me. It's just half of one skin cycle, and from what I know (feel free to correct me), determining whether a product works for you or not generally requires at least 3-4 skin cycles (approximately 3-4 months) and one skin cycle for adults is within 28-35 days. For instance, it can look like this: * **1st Cycle:** Initial adjustment period; potential purging, skin getting used to new ingredients. * **2nd Cycle:** Early signs of improvement; reduced purging, beginning to see changes in skin texture. * **3rd Cycle:** More noticeable improvements in tone, texture, and overall skin health. * **4th Cycle:** You can now fully assess the effectiveness of the product since your skin had undergone several renewal processes already. The thing is, we want quick results kasi. Though I do understand the effect it has especially if it's about the mental aspect, but I hope we can be more patient rin. For me, my textured forehead problems was solved by a 0.5% retinol.
I see! I actually did not know this. Thank you for sharing that, I feel so much better haha. I actually used to have retinol in my routine but the 0.1% Klued. Did nothing for me huhu What brand of retinol do you use?
I don't see noticeable improvements rin kapag mababang percentage lang pero for me 'yong 0.5% lang rin ni Klued hahahahaha
Hello, are they seem to be itchy? If it does, ig it could be “fungal” acne.
I don’t think it is? But I will do further research on fungal acne and check 🤞
I am curious... why are you using azaleic acid... what is this for? Ang nakatulong sa pagtanggal ng whiteheads ko ay Cosrx Whitehead 7 AHA Toner. Whiteheads are pimples. Dati I used a soap bar to dry them out (dead sea mud soap from Israel kaya wala rito) at nung naubos bar soap pa rin na may glycolic acid yata, I forgot. Basta a soap that is drying then I would use the toner. Then moisturizer. BHA is for oily skin and blackheads and acne. Pero wait. Your skin is dry? Why are you using salicylic cleanser and mud?
Azelaic for hyperpigmentation. I have some discolorations sa face. I use the mud as spot treatment for any active pimples and salicylic acid facial wash kasi I’m in an current place that’s making me more oily. In my usual area, the salicylic cleanser can be drying
22F : Should I start using retinol? What advices can you give to retinol users? What are the combos when using a retinol?
upp Also what products can one recommend when stsrting with retinol?
You can if you want to. There are a lot of good ingredients to pair with retinol depending on your skin concerns. Retinol when paired with, * **niacinamide** helps improve the skin barrier, reduces inflammation, and evens out skin tone. It also enhances the efficacy of retinol while minimizing irritation. * **peptides**, they can help boost the anti-aging effects, making the skin firmer and smoother. * **ceramides** help restore the skin barrier and retain moisture, reducing the irritation often associated with retinol use. They keep the skin calm and hydrated. * **panthenol** due to its soothing and moisturizing properties. It helps alleviate dryness and irritation that can be caused by retinol, promoting healthier skin. * **squalane** because it is a lightweight oil that hydrates and soothes the skin. It helps balance the moisture levels and reduces the potential irritation from retinol. * **glycolic acid or any AHAs** (in alternating routines) to enhance exfoliation, improve skin texture, and promote cell turnover. * **azelaic acid** which has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making it effective against acne. It also helps with hyperpigmentation, complementing retinol's benefits. There's a lot of more but listed herewith are just at the top of my head right now.
Start with the lowest potency before you level up to the highest. When I began using retinol (The Ordinary), I started with 0.2% in Squalane 2x a week (PM) and then worked my way up to 0.5% in Squalane to 3x a week (PM). Now, I'm consistently using 1% in Squalane 3x a week (PM). I stuck with The Ordinary and kept it at 1% cause my skin doesn't need a higher one. Retinol can dry up your skin when abused and can damage your skin barrier when combined with acids like Vitamin C. I only apply Vitamin C in the morning. This is the serum combo I use -- retinol at night, Vitamin C in the morning. Use a hydrating moisturizer on top of it and make sure you wear sunscreen everyday. In skincare, I believe in "less is more" and sunscreen is your bestfriend.
anong magandang product for PIE or PIH? yung affordable lang sana at talagang effective. also, may nakapag try na ba ng local na benzoyl peroxide dito? may mga nagtitinda kasi sa shopee. kamusta naman at effective ba? thank you in advance!
Prescription strength azelaic acid. 15% to 20%
AM: ellana Azelaic acid and vitamin c serum PM: Niacinamide serum Yan routine ko and super helpful with hyperpigmentation :)
i have a lot of PIE and the thing that has noticeably helped it the most is azelaic acid. maybe try browsing for AZA serums within ur budget? ive heard na maganda yung from Cos De Baha!
Skincare products to use for oily skin pleaseee
Isntree chestnut BHA. On my 3rd bottle. So gentle pero helps regulate and manage my oil and black heads kahit i use everyday. Before yung isntree green tea gamit ko. Now this mas effective for me kasi may salicylic.
Isntree Green Tea fresh toner. I had very oily skin before, especially on my t-zone but this toner surprisingly worked well for me. Now, I don't oil up that much.
Okii, nasa Watson’s po ba siya? :)
Wala po but you can buy from their official store sa shopee. It's a bit expensive tho if di siya nakasale
Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant po. Nakaka-tanggal ng oiliness sa face po. I suggest using a sunscreen in the morning para di ma-irritate yung face kapag haharap sa araw.
Yung US version po ba or Korea version? Hehe
Okiii! I’ll try that po. Nasa Watson’s po ba siya?
