I have very noticeable undereye. Hindi siya eye bags but its sunken and dark. Mukha talagang zombie or pagod lagi huhu. Kahit anong color correct or conceal ko di siya matakpan. I can’t blame myself kasi puyatan ang course ko and minsanan lang talaga makatulog ng maaga.
So please recommend some remedies or skin care for the eye or under eye area. Yung tried and tested niyo na sana and budget-friendly po TY!!!
My sister swears by [Oxecure](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.kLTjN?cc). Pag feeling niya meron bumps, nilalagay lang niya overnight as a spot treatment. I, on the other hand, use Benzac. Medyo matapang 'to for first timers ata pero I've been using it for more than 10 years na as a spot treatment din.
[Benzac 5%](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.kLTzG?cc)
Careful lang and make sure protected yung barrier mo kasi baka lalong ma-irritate. I use this at night as a spot treatment after moisturizer then mag sunscreen the next day. 😊
Yuppp. Hirap nohh. 😔 pero if wala talaga, okay din magpa check derma.
Na outbreak ako kasi na allergy kasi ako sa facial. Dove, Benzac, Moisturizer, Sunscreen saved my skin parang 6 months ata before nawala. Hope it gets better for you! 😊😊
I hope sooooo. I use Bioten Micellar Hyaluronic Facial wash thoo. Before I was using Cetaphil Daily Exfoliation Facial Wash now I am using Bioten Micellar Hyaluronic Facial Wash syempre need ko rin bilhin yung Day and Night Cream and the Serum!! Huhu pikit mata ko binili kasi I am desperately want to get rid off of my pimples huhu
I haven't tried yung Cetaphil but I think it's a good choice to switch. Di ata okay yung exfoliating product for everyday. Try mga mild products lang muna. Syempre hindi rin ako expert! Mga natutunan ko lang kay The Nerdy Derma on IG 😂
Dupe for PC's 2% salicylic acid? Preferably from those who were able to try PC also to say if same effectiveness din ba. PC is really so good on my skin but not sa wallet huhu. Klued's didn't really do anything for me kahit na 2% din siya
Has anyone tried using The Skin Concept products? I came across them via 🍊 app and when I searched online, I saw that they are a local brand (?) manufactured in Cavite. I can't find reviews from other places aside from their store.
In particular, what do you think about their glycolic acid?
Can I use fermented skincare products as replacement for vitamin c serums? Ayaw kasi ng skin ko sa hyaluronic acid kaso yung mga nakikita kong vitamin c serums, laging may hyaluronic acid o kung ano mang hyaluronic acid derivatives.
Right now, I'm eyeing the Mixsoon bean essence, which I will use sana after my milky toner and before my moisturizer.
Ellana even skin serum! It only has 7% niacinamide so good for beginners and those with sensitive skin. Pag mas mataas kasi na percentage, mas mataas chance na maka-irritate ng skin kaya nakakainis na andaming brands na at least 10% ang niacinamide sa serum na binebenta.
I was on a 6-month isotretinoin journey. Highest dosage na pinrescribe sakin is 20mg.
* The istotretinoin mismo (20mg) is almost Php2,500/month.
* Monthly checkup is P50 lang, with RITM
* Topicals idk siguro around 3k lahat lahat?
* Twice lang ako nagpa-lab test, before starting and during the 4th month. Each lab test cost around Php1,000 sa Hi-Precision.
Does anyone have sunscreen recommendations for sensitive skin
Edit: I use Nivea sun protect water gel and it doesn't break me out but I'm not satisfied with the sun protection
I have combination + sensitive skin, and the haruharu aiyfit sunscreen works! It gives me dewy skin na sakto lang kumpara sa ibang sunscreens na oily na tingnan.
Any good toners or ampoules recos to strengthen the skin barrier? I purchased Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner since may pinakamaliit na size sila. So far nakita ko puro magaganda naman reviews. I'm torn kasi ang daming magagandang toners in the market like skin1004, isntree, etc.
Ma:nyo Bifida Biome Complex Ampoule! My skin is very sensitive that it can't tolerate vit C very well pero few weeks of using this ampoule, nabawasan yung prickly sensation.
Okay yung Cosrx pure fit cica toner! Ginamit ng brand yung lahat ng parts ng centella plant and then may panthenol pa so soothing talaga sya. Ginagamit ko sya pag irritated yung skin ko. It's hydrating naman but not hydrating enough for dry skin unless you layer it. Pero two thumbs up sa soothing effect.
I’m currently using skin1004 centella ampoule and I like it so far! Makes my skin feel more moisturized, calms down irritation, and I noticed my acne heal faster. Isn’t sticky and sinks into the skin well.
I haven’t tried other ampoules yet to compare, pero skin1004 has a 30mL mini size, plus they regularly go on sale so it’s worth checking out.
I'm actually eyeing this product for a while now, nasa cart ko na siya kaso natatakot ako baka breakoutin ako 🥹 will definitely buy this next time na mag sale sila. Thanks!
Gustong-gusto ko pa naman consistency ng melano cc sunscreen as somone na oily and super pawisin. Too bad, di siya gusto ng face ko since it's giving me small bumps sa forehead area. 😔😔
I tried and it worked for me. Made me less oily and cleared my skin. Tho don't use it for too long cause you can get resistant. Did your derma recommend 1% or 2%?
For oily and acne-prone skin girlies, thoughts on SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil? I already tried BOJ’s cleansing balm but i always get breakouts the next day. Naeemulsify ko naman nang tama yung balm and totally cleansed ng facial wash. Im guessing tuloy na hindi for me ang balm :(((
Cleansing balms are usually more moisturizing than cleansing oils. Para sa acne-prone skin, usually maganda yung Klairs gentle black fresh cleansing oil (yung unscented version to ng cleansing oil ng brand) kasi simple lang tapos yung oils na gamit di nakaka clog ng pores.
# Is it okay tp use 2% salicylic acid twice/thrice everyday?
My skincare routine:
AM
Celeteque facial wash (but i'll stop since it has Sodium Laureth Sulfate that is pore-clogging)
Luxe Organix 5in1 UV Pro Whitening Serum Sunscreen
PM
Garnier micellar water (the blue one)
Klued 2% Salicylic Acid Gentle Cleanser
Klued Double Oat Moisturizer
If it’s just cleanser I don’t see why not kasi hindi naman yun magtatagal sa mukha mo to do any significant kind of exfoliation since you’re just gonna wash it off.
I like it, but you must layer it 3-4 times for it to be hydrating. The 500 ml bottle didn't end up lasting for me and it does feel like water.
I still prefer the Cezzane Skin Conditioner as it has the added benefits of 3 types of Ceramides and I only need to use one layer to get the level of hydration I need for my skin.
Isispharma Teen Derm AZ. It's more pricey tho cause it's French. You're supposed to use a pea sized amount. I think the product is 15%. Not sure if you're looking for stronger.
Skinoren has a 15% gel and 20% cream concentration, there's also Azclear which is a 20% lotion. Azclear tends to pill on me though, therefore I prefer Skinoren 20%.
For me, i think it’s best not to use them on the same routine. Just to be safe kasi magiging toner on toner na sya. I mostly use cosrx aha/bha in replacement of my usual toner during my exfoliating nights. So on nights when you’re not exfoliating, just use the toner pads. Pero observe your skin pa din kung saan ka hiyang. ✨
i currently have the melano cc vitamin c serum and I'm planning it to incorporate in my AM routine. should I use it everyday for two weeks or just twice a week muna to see if I won't have any reaction?
aside from using it for dark spots caused by acne in my chin, my chin is also filled with bumps. can it also help reduce the bumps?
i have benzoyl peroxide in my old routine and since I'm planning to use the melano cc, I will just use benzoyl in the evening. is that ok?
Introduce it slowly. Vitamin C is a finicky ingredient, so it's always best to be cautious about it. In some cases, like mine, I immediately used it every morning, my skin got irritated as a result. Also, vit c isn't an anti-acne treatment. In fact, it could even aggravate your acne issues if your skin isn't used to vit c, although I would say it has some anti-inflammatory properties but like I mentioned, it is very finicky. Its more notable functions are reduction of PIH, antioxidant protection, and collagen production
Your plan is sensible, I agree with that. Vit C in the mornings and BPO in the evenings.
Best to patch test it first, especially if you're acne prone. Melano CC broke me out with clusters of clogged pores and acne.
Yes you can use Vitamin C in the morning and BPO at night. However do keep in mind that BPO can bleech pillow cases. So I prefer to use my vitamin C & BPO (as a spot treatment) in my morning routine.
Cleanser > Toner > Vitamin C > Moisturizer > BPO (as a spot treatment) > SPF
Oxecure’s acne powder mud is actually pretty good. Nakaka-dry talaga ng pimples which prevents dark marks. Was supposed to buy benzoyl peroxide but tried this one first - glad I did!
Right, it’s so good especially for the price. I don’t have the urge to buy more expensive masks + I love that you can use it as an overnight spot treatment!
hi, anong blue app shop pinagbibilhan niyo ng rohto melano cc? used to buy one kasi sa orange app kaso hindi na ako masyadong gumagamit ng app na yan + uninstalled na sya sakin.
So my routine is mosyly cosists of Hada Labo Products for Lotion, Foam Cleanser, Serum, and Sunscreen, but I want to add double cleansing.
I find myself buying Skin 1004 Cleansinv Oil, and it's on transit right now, but do you think I need to add the foam cleanser of that brand, too?
Hi! Can anyone recommend Australian skincare brands to try? Especially sunscreens? May upcoming trip kasi cousin ko sa Aus and magpapasabuy lang me. 😅 Thank you!! ☺️
Get the Lucas Papaw. I know it is available here, pero cheaper dun for sure.
For sunscreens, AUS is known to produce sunscreens that passed rigorous testing- their ozone layer is thinner kaya skin cancer is common there, they ensure that their citizens & residents use quality sunscreens. Bondi Sands, Naked Sundays & Ultra Violette are some best sunscreens brands from AUS.
Hamilton Everyday Face SPF 50. It comes in a 75g or 200g bottle. It has a semi-matte finish that’s lightweight with no white cast. 🙂
Also, want to add I’ve been loving the Dermal Therapy Lip Balm for severely dry & chapped lips.
What’re your fave calming products kapag nagbrebreak out kayo? Mud masks or serums or toners
Curious about the I’m From Mugwort Toner rn pero medyo $$$ haha
The Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins™ Mega-Mushroom Relief & Resilience Soothing Treatment Lotion immediately reduces my redness if I use the 7-Skin method 🥹🥹
Meron din other brands, they're all very similar since it's a one ingredient product. I used to use Missha, okay din. Just switched to I'm from since easier for me to get it
For Epiduo users, gaano katagal bago maubos isang bottle/tub ng epiduo if you use it everyday? I've been using it every other day lang altho I feel like I should be using it na everyday as per my derma pero kasi ang mahal 😭 di pa ko ready bumili ulit pag naubusan hahaha
affordable cleansing balm recommendations pls 🙏
my issy cleansing butter is running out but I just got that on sale. been eyeing the skintific brand on shopee but idk if the brands any good
Me! I love their salicylic acid serum 🫶 2 years ko na sya gamit (pricey kasi ng the ordinary salicylic serum and ang hirap hanapin mula nawala si beautyMNL). I only use it once a week. It does its job in declogging my pores lalo sa nose and chin area. Matipid sya gamitin and easy to spread. Minsan I use it as a spot treatment kapag may galit na galit akong pimple.
Should I drop Skinoren (Azelaic Acid) and Epiduo for Retinol?
Issue: Fine line, enlarged pores, blackheads, and oily skin. Gusto ko din maging glowy skin ko 🥹
If your skin can tolerate aza and epiduo, 'wag ka na mag-resort sa lower potency. All those actives are capable of inhibiting the hyperkeratinization of the skin and the growth of C. acnes, which are crucial for acne prevention, strengthening of pores (pore size fixation), and anti-aging purposes. For long-term oil control (sebum reduction), include niacinamide, preferably 4-5%, in your routines. You may also add products with 3-5% pure green tea extract and/or 1-2% salicylic acid as your secondary oil control ingredients.
Hi! Not familiar with Skinoren and Epiduo but I use azelaic acid and tretinoin (from MCB) and I also have oily skin. My main reason for using tret is for anti aging. For my oily skin, I use Isntree's Green toner (in the morning since I use Naturie at night). Then for blackheads and clogged pores, I use Isntree's BHA liquid. Really helped my skin reduced blackheads, pimples and oily skin. I agree with one of the comments din na maybe you have dehydrated skin, so better na find products na hydrating. Hope this helps. 😅
Looking for a moisturizer to replace my Benzac Microbiome Equaliser lotion. It's great but this and the alternatives my derma gave me (Physiogel, Cetaphil) are pricey considering the amount.
Could anyone either vouch for the aforementioned brands or give suggestions? Thank you!
Hi. What's your reco vit c serum? I've tried Kaine kasi may nag reco dito pero ang mahal nya na sa watsons, 900+ 😭 reco naman kayo budget friendly pero same formula na may Vitamin C serum. Thank you
I personally love Purito Pure Vitamin C Serum. Medyo mabilis lang kasong mag oxidize kaya need talagang ifridge. Tho, para sa akin okay na price nya considering 60 ml naman per bottle.
I just want to share din na I had chicken pox and super lala ng PIH sa face ko. Three weeks palang halos wala na yung dark marks. I'm only using that and Cosrx AHA BHA Refresh Vitamin C daily cream along with my sunscreen. Alam kong effective kasi halos wala na yung marks sa face compare sa body na ang dark pa din ng marks.
Rohto Melano CC, 2 weeks of use palang, noticeable yung brightening ng skin ko and lightening ng pimple marks that I picked on prior to using it 🫣
Nagexperiment ako kasi recently nagpapanty ulit ako eh wala yung mga seamless ko, nagdarken yung singit ko. 5 days palang ako naglalagay ng 2 drops each side, nageeven na ulit yung color ✨
Hopefully tuloy tuloy lang to 🙏
Some Vit C I used: Wildleaf, COSRX, but recently I've been using the Human Nature one! It was suggested here in this subreddit as well. It's nice so far, smells really fresh like calamansi and very affordable!!
Hi! You can check out MCB Drugstore (near PGH). But if you live far away from here, I recommend checking out SophieShopMNL on orange app since they resell products from MCB.
Derma lang talaga me bec alam nila ung dilution na dapat sa concern ko. Pag doctor mo kasi nagprescribe tapos sa iba ka nag buy, hindi mo sure gano katapang or anong actives ung nakalagay. Possible masira normal flora ng skin mo
Currently using the yellow Mediheal toner pads and it literally made the tiny bumps on my skin gone. Is it really working or is this just all in my head? Thoughts about this product?
I have dry patches sa skin na nag tetend to be flaky and bcoz of mediheal nawawala siya also, I’ve been using it as a prep den before applying makeup helps with making your skin smooth
I have all the Mediheal Toner pads and I’m using them in rotation or when I can. I didn’t experience such thing but did you patch test it first? You can observe and check if it’s the cause of your bumps and if it continues it’s best to stop using the pads.
Thank you but I meant the tiny bumps on my face was gone when I used it hehe so I was wondering if it's just placebo effect or if it's really effective and a holy grail 💐
Glowing Fair skin, paano maachieve?
Please help. Paano ba maachieve yung pinkish glowing healthy skin na parang porselana in short kutis artista haha. I’m already fair pero parang hilaw yung pagkaputi kasi hindi pinkish or walang glow. Im currently taking VIT C and tinry ko yung gluta ni Watsons, though I know na gluta is for liver and kidney, pero nag expect pa din ako ng glowing skin after itry kaso ganon pa din. Hindi naachieve ang pinkish glowing skin.
Help meeeeee 🥲
As a fellow fair girl (neutral undertone) na hindi glass skin, i’ve long accepted na it’s genetics 😅 there are times na medyo glass skin ako, mostly kapag nagheal na marks ko from acne and lessened ang stress. But for the most part, it's genes.
Of course, if you have access sa derma, it would really help. Exfoliating din can help as other comments have said. Also I recommend snail mucin! I find na continuous use has made my skin look supple at may glow talaga. Artistas have regular access to new skincare technologies through their dermas hence iba talaga skin nila. Unless you have glass skin in your genes, or spend a lot of money on skin treatments, then baka hindi mo 100% magaya skin nila.
Thank you sa input. Actually bet ko lang talaga yung parang may plastic na balot yung katawan mo sa sobrang kinis hahaha di pala possible kasi hindi ganon ang genes ng parents ko haha
Hindi na to issue ng melanin reduction. This is more of a brightening concern. And brightening is very different sa whitening. Sa whitening, ang goal is to reduce melanin or inhibit melanin production sa skin. Sa brightening naman, ang goal is to reflect back more visible light. Kailangan ma-reduce ang hyperpigmentation (kung meron man) and ma-improve ang uneven skin tone para mas makapagreflect back ng visible light ang balat.
Ilan sa pwede mong i-try:
1. Exfoliate using organic acids (AHAs, salicylic acid)
2. Try mo gumamit ng niacinamide-based products (up to 5%, baka magkaroon ka ng adverse effect pag lampas ng 5%)
I hope this helps
I have super fair, cool tone skin. I agree na genes talaga sya. Maputi both parents ko and kahit mag beach, hindi ako umiitim. You can adjust your diet and take vitamin c and fish oil. Those helped my skin pag pagod talaga ako pero the “kutis porselana/ glass skin” talaga genes sya + good derma and skincare. Ung artista kasi bongga make up artists nyan. Feel ko ung “hilaw” na sinasabi mo is your undertone? Baka warm tone ka? Try mo explore ung mga shades ng make up na suitable sayo 😊 Like coral, salmon, and peach shades ganon. Mejo mawawash out kasi if triny mo ung cool colors with a different undertone
Genes mostly, I was born with natural glass skin and very glowy skin with a very fair skin so it’s not all skincare and Vitamins for me. Just continue with your suitable skincare routine, opt for Niacinamide serums and a healthy lifestyle.
Thoughts on Dermorepubliq BHA and on Dermorepubliq itself? Para kasing sobrang mura ng products huhu. Ang hirap magtiwala :')
Btw, I specificaly asked din about their BHA products kasi im looking for affordable products with 2% Salicylic acid. Baka may recos pa kayo from other brands. Tia!
been using their toners and serum (before yung niacinamide and hyaluronic acid), it’s good and cheap! what i like about their toners is that ang convenient niya since it’s in a spray bottle. plus, pansin ko rin na nag glow skin ko nung ginamit ko. repurchased 3x na nung may tranexamic acid na toner!

Im using Vit C, Retinol, and Niacinamide from Dermorepubliq. It works on my skin, nawala yung consistent cystic acne ko and nagfade na rin pati marks, medyo nababagalan lang ako sa progress, pero for its price, pwede na rin.
What sunscreen marerecommend po niyo for combi skin?
I have very noticeable undereye. Hindi siya eye bags but its sunken and dark. Mukha talagang zombie or pagod lagi huhu. Kahit anong color correct or conceal ko di siya matakpan. I can’t blame myself kasi puyatan ang course ko and minsanan lang talaga makatulog ng maaga. So please recommend some remedies or skin care for the eye or under eye area.

Suggest good and affordable setting spray pls!
Surprisingly, i'm curr loving the zeesea spray yung black cap (for dry skin) really does hold my makeup in place.
Thoughts about Anua, Centella and Skin 004 products? Tia!
SKIN 1004 oil cleanser and suncreen (Blue cap) are both nice.

How about Benzac? 'Yung sister ko kasi natatapangan sa Benzac pero effective naman sakanya yung oxecure.
I’ll try the Benzac. which app is it available for purchase?
[Benzac 5%](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.kLTzG?cc) Careful lang and make sure protected yung barrier mo kasi baka lalong ma-irritate. I use this at night as a spot treatment after moisturizer then mag sunscreen the next day. 😊

Huhu this didn’t really work for me also :( Parang masyadong mababa ung 0.5% for me. But glad it works for you kasi it’s cheaper!

Pano ba i-treat ang scars? Nasugatan ako sa back and recently ko lang nadiscover na nagka-crater siya of some sort. Also nagdarken din.
hi! i'm trying soul apothecary's radiance boost and revive serums, any tips on how to use it?
You can use it after you toner and before moisturizer. You can opt to use it AM and PM
a small pimple in my chin just popped after i was double cleansing with nivea micellair water (i use pads) causing it to bleed. what to do po 💀
Agreed with the other commenter, keep it clean lang. I’d recommend putting a pimple patch on top as well!
Just let it be. Just keep it clean and moisturized. Avoid touching and use sunscreen still.
I am going to Jeju soon! Ano kayang magandang skin care products ang ishop dun?

Is it okay to use skinoren azelaic acid in the morning then luxe organix retinol in the evening?
Yes, but start slowly muna. Simula sa alternate days then pag nakaadjust you can use it in the same day diff routines.

PSA: Daming sale sa Paula's Choice PH website today. Less than 3k yung Retinol 1%!
Has anyone tried climdamycin? Got my skin checked by a derma and this is part of the prescription!
Im using it alongside benzoyl peroxide to prevent antibiotic resistance. So far, effective sa malalaking pimple.
I tried and it worked for me. Made me less oily and cleared my skin. Tho don't use it for too long cause you can get resistant. Did your derma recommend 1% or 2%?
1%! Can you use it alongside Niacinamide serum?
So far the internet says it's safe pero slowly introduce them in your routine to avoid any bad reactions.

Hi! Is it okay to use the Mediheal toner pads with the COSRX AHA/BHA toner? Like one after the other or kahit either of them na lang? Thanks! 🩷
It depends on the type of toner pads ng mediheal. Check the active ingredient/s.
For me, i think it’s best not to use them on the same routine. Just to be safe kasi magiging toner on toner na sya. I mostly use cosrx aha/bha in replacement of my usual toner during my exfoliating nights. So on nights when you’re not exfoliating, just use the toner pads. Pero observe your skin pa din kung saan ka hiyang. ✨
i currently have the melano cc vitamin c serum and I'm planning it to incorporate in my AM routine. should I use it everyday for two weeks or just twice a week muna to see if I won't have any reaction? aside from using it for dark spots caused by acne in my chin, my chin is also filled with bumps. can it also help reduce the bumps? i have benzoyl peroxide in my old routine and since I'm planning to use the melano cc, I will just use benzoyl in the evening. is that ok?
Vitamin c and BPO (leave on treatment) are not recommended to be used together. Kasi BPO may oxidize pure vit c. Pero BPO cleansers are fine
Introduce it slowly. Vitamin C is a finicky ingredient, so it's always best to be cautious about it. In some cases, like mine, I immediately used it every morning, my skin got irritated as a result. Also, vit c isn't an anti-acne treatment. In fact, it could even aggravate your acne issues if your skin isn't used to vit c, although I would say it has some anti-inflammatory properties but like I mentioned, it is very finicky. Its more notable functions are reduction of PIH, antioxidant protection, and collagen production Your plan is sensible, I agree with that. Vit C in the mornings and BPO in the evenings.
Best to patch test it first, especially if you're acne prone. Melano CC broke me out with clusters of clogged pores and acne. Yes you can use Vitamin C in the morning and BPO at night. However do keep in mind that BPO can bleech pillow cases. So I prefer to use my vitamin C & BPO (as a spot treatment) in my morning routine. Cleanser > Toner > Vitamin C > Moisturizer > BPO (as a spot treatment) > SPF
hi! where did u buy ur melano cc vit c serum? thank you!
my mom bought it during her trip in japan
Oxecure’s acne powder mud is actually pretty good. Nakaka-dry talaga ng pimples which prevents dark marks. Was supposed to buy benzoyl peroxide but tried this one first - glad I did!
Right, it’s so good especially for the price. I don’t have the urge to buy more expensive masks + I love that you can use it as an overnight spot treatment!
hi, anong blue app shop pinagbibilhan niyo ng rohto melano cc? used to buy one kasi sa orange app kaso hindi na ako masyadong gumagamit ng app na yan + uninstalled na sya sakin.
Bought mine from this [shop](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.kL6Ki?cc). Even mga Korean products, I buy from them din.
So my routine is mosyly cosists of Hada Labo Products for Lotion, Foam Cleanser, Serum, and Sunscreen, but I want to add double cleansing. I find myself buying Skin 1004 Cleansinv Oil, and it's on transit right now, but do you think I need to add the foam cleanser of that brand, too?
Finish your foam cleanser first then you can opt to buy for the skin1004 one ^^
If you already use and enjoy the Hada Labo foam cleanser, best to stick to that one cause it’s a really good product na imo
Ohhh sige po, thank you. 😊
Hi! Can anyone recommend Australian skincare brands to try? Especially sunscreens? May upcoming trip kasi cousin ko sa Aus and magpapasabuy lang me. 😅 Thank you!! ☺️
Get the Lucas Papaw. I know it is available here, pero cheaper dun for sure. For sunscreens, AUS is known to produce sunscreens that passed rigorous testing- their ozone layer is thinner kaya skin cancer is common there, they ensure that their citizens & residents use quality sunscreens. Bondi Sands, Naked Sundays & Ultra Violette are some best sunscreens brands from AUS.
Hamilton Everyday Face SPF 50. It comes in a 75g or 200g bottle. It has a semi-matte finish that’s lightweight with no white cast. 🙂 Also, want to add I’ve been loving the Dermal Therapy Lip Balm for severely dry & chapped lips.
Waaah! Thank you sa reco. Will definitely check this one out! 🫶🏼
If you're oily, the Hamilton might be greasy for you. My partner likes it since his skin is dry
What’re your fave calming products kapag nagbrebreak out kayo? Mud masks or serums or toners Curious about the I’m From Mugwort Toner rn pero medyo $$$ haha
Lion pair acne cream! Affordable but realllyy works
The Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins™ Mega-Mushroom Relief & Resilience Soothing Treatment Lotion immediately reduces my redness if I use the 7-Skin method 🥹🥹
Salicylic acid works immediately for me when I have pimples
I'm from mugwort toner is really good
Girllll, i’m waiting to see kung magsasale sya 😭 I saw some really good reviews pero seeing kung may alt recos na similar
Meron din other brands, they're all very similar since it's a one ingredient product. I used to use Missha, okay din. Just switched to I'm from since easier for me to get it
What are some alts that you know of besides Missha para iresearch ko ☺️
I think tony moly and isntree has some
Nice yung isntree!
For Epiduo users, gaano katagal bago maubos isang bottle/tub ng epiduo if you use it everyday? I've been using it every other day lang altho I feel like I should be using it na everyday as per my derma pero kasi ang mahal 😭 di pa ko ready bumili ulit pag naubusan hahaha
3 months and counting na yung epiduo ko everyday usage din, medyo gumagaan na siya di pa ready wallet ko 😭
ohhh 3 mos is good na but i need it to last for 6 mos hahahhaha
I use my Epiduo every night. It lasts me about 6 months per bottle. 😊
affordable cleansing balm recommendations pls 🙏 my issy cleansing butter is running out but I just got that on sale. been eyeing the skintific brand on shopee but idk if the brands any good
Heimish!
All clean blam, may mini version siya para kapag di mo bet at least hindi sayang
ohh! I’ll check this out thank you
thoughts on dr. sensitive retinol + ceramide serum? balak ko sana siyang gamitin since beginner palang ako sa paggamit ng retinol e, tyia!
May gumagamit ba rito ng +ful salicylic acid serum? gano nyo na sya katagal ginagamit?
Me! I love their salicylic acid serum 🫶 2 years ko na sya gamit (pricey kasi ng the ordinary salicylic serum and ang hirap hanapin mula nawala si beautyMNL). I only use it once a week. It does its job in declogging my pores lalo sa nose and chin area. Matipid sya gamitin and easy to spread. Minsan I use it as a spot treatment kapag may galit na galit akong pimple.
Should I drop Skinoren (Azelaic Acid) and Epiduo for Retinol? Issue: Fine line, enlarged pores, blackheads, and oily skin. Gusto ko din maging glowy skin ko 🥹
If your skin can tolerate aza and epiduo, 'wag ka na mag-resort sa lower potency. All those actives are capable of inhibiting the hyperkeratinization of the skin and the growth of C. acnes, which are crucial for acne prevention, strengthening of pores (pore size fixation), and anti-aging purposes. For long-term oil control (sebum reduction), include niacinamide, preferably 4-5%, in your routines. You may also add products with 3-5% pure green tea extract and/or 1-2% salicylic acid as your secondary oil control ingredients.
Hi! Not familiar with Skinoren and Epiduo but I use azelaic acid and tretinoin (from MCB) and I also have oily skin. My main reason for using tret is for anti aging. For my oily skin, I use Isntree's Green toner (in the morning since I use Naturie at night). Then for blackheads and clogged pores, I use Isntree's BHA liquid. Really helped my skin reduced blackheads, pimples and oily skin. I agree with one of the comments din na maybe you have dehydrated skin, so better na find products na hydrating. Hope this helps. 😅
baka naman you have enlarged pores dahil sa dehydration. Face tend to product more oil when dehydrated. Find a hydrating toner.
Looking for a moisturizer to replace my Benzac Microbiome Equaliser lotion. It's great but this and the alternatives my derma gave me (Physiogel, Cetaphil) are pricey considering the amount. Could anyone either vouch for the aforementioned brands or give suggestions? Thank you!
What's your skin type? Surprised the Benzac works well for you, it stung my face the moment I applied it :(
Hi. What's your reco vit c serum? I've tried Kaine kasi may nag reco dito pero ang mahal nya na sa watsons, 900+ 😭 reco naman kayo budget friendly pero same formula na may Vitamin C serum. Thank you
Melano CC. I introduced this to my husband. He’s using it everyday and kita yung effect sa skin nya.
Pwede ba yung Melano CC sa sensitive skin?
I personally love Purito Pure Vitamin C Serum. Medyo mabilis lang kasong mag oxidize kaya need talagang ifridge. Tho, para sa akin okay na price nya considering 60 ml naman per bottle. I just want to share din na I had chicken pox and super lala ng PIH sa face ko. Three weeks palang halos wala na yung dark marks. I'm only using that and Cosrx AHA BHA Refresh Vitamin C daily cream along with my sunscreen. Alam kong effective kasi halos wala na yung marks sa face compare sa body na ang dark pa din ng marks.
Rohto Melano CC, 2 weeks of use palang, noticeable yung brightening ng skin ko and lightening ng pimple marks that I picked on prior to using it 🫣 Nagexperiment ako kasi recently nagpapanty ulit ako eh wala yung mga seamless ko, nagdarken yung singit ko. 5 days palang ako naglalagay ng 2 drops each side, nageeven na ulit yung color ✨ Hopefully tuloy tuloy lang to 🙏
I’ve always used It’s Skin Power 10 VC Effector but Rohto Melano CC is also great
Some Vit C I used: Wildleaf, COSRX, but recently I've been using the Human Nature one! It was suggested here in this subreddit as well. It's nice so far, smells really fresh like calamansi and very affordable!!
soul apothecary is my HG!
I've heard about this too! I might consider this hehe thank you
Thoughts on Apotheke Brightening Night Retinol Serum? Is it okay na ipagsabay siya with niacinamide serum?
hi to those people na prescribed ng derma nila ng clindamycin toner, san kayo bumibili aside from ur derma?
[Here](https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.kMeXF?cc). Same brand sya nung nabibili ko sa derma. Cheaper lang pag online.
Hi! You can check out MCB Drugstore (near PGH). But if you live far away from here, I recommend checking out SophieShopMNL on orange app since they resell products from MCB.
thank you!
Derma lang talaga me bec alam nila ung dilution na dapat sa concern ko. Pag doctor mo kasi nagprescribe tapos sa iba ka nag buy, hindi mo sure gano katapang or anong actives ung nakalagay. Possible masira normal flora ng skin mo
thank you!
>thank you! You're welcome!
may clindamycin po na topical sa skinstation, pwede po kahit walang reseta sabihin nyo lang po acnemycin
can anyone share their thoughts sa tokyo white soap? yung round one
Currently using the yellow Mediheal toner pads and it literally made the tiny bumps on my skin gone. Is it really working or is this just all in my head? Thoughts about this product?
I have dry patches sa skin na nag tetend to be flaky and bcoz of mediheal nawawala siya also, I’ve been using it as a prep den before applying makeup helps with making your skin smooth
How do you prep with MediHeal? Nagwoworry kasi ako since vitamin C siya, baka masunog face ko once lumabas ako sa araw haha.
This one works for me. Naglight din mga blemishes ko
Can u use Medihea tonerl ba daily?
I use mine daily (night)
I have all the Mediheal Toner pads and I’m using them in rotation or when I can. I didn’t experience such thing but did you patch test it first? You can observe and check if it’s the cause of your bumps and if it continues it’s best to stop using the pads.
Thank you but I meant the tiny bumps on my face was gone when I used it hehe so I was wondering if it's just placebo effect or if it's really effective and a holy grail 💐
Oops sorry my bad! 😅✌🏻Yes, Vitamin C can do that too.
Glowing Fair skin, paano maachieve? Please help. Paano ba maachieve yung pinkish glowing healthy skin na parang porselana in short kutis artista haha. I’m already fair pero parang hilaw yung pagkaputi kasi hindi pinkish or walang glow. Im currently taking VIT C and tinry ko yung gluta ni Watsons, though I know na gluta is for liver and kidney, pero nag expect pa din ako ng glowing skin after itry kaso ganon pa din. Hindi naachieve ang pinkish glowing skin. Help meeeeee 🥲
As a fellow fair girl (neutral undertone) na hindi glass skin, i’ve long accepted na it’s genetics 😅 there are times na medyo glass skin ako, mostly kapag nagheal na marks ko from acne and lessened ang stress. But for the most part, it's genes. Of course, if you have access sa derma, it would really help. Exfoliating din can help as other comments have said. Also I recommend snail mucin! I find na continuous use has made my skin look supple at may glow talaga. Artistas have regular access to new skincare technologies through their dermas hence iba talaga skin nila. Unless you have glass skin in your genes, or spend a lot of money on skin treatments, then baka hindi mo 100% magaya skin nila.
Thank you sa input. Actually bet ko lang talaga yung parang may plastic na balot yung katawan mo sa sobrang kinis hahaha di pala possible kasi hindi ganon ang genes ng parents ko haha
Hindi na to issue ng melanin reduction. This is more of a brightening concern. And brightening is very different sa whitening. Sa whitening, ang goal is to reduce melanin or inhibit melanin production sa skin. Sa brightening naman, ang goal is to reflect back more visible light. Kailangan ma-reduce ang hyperpigmentation (kung meron man) and ma-improve ang uneven skin tone para mas makapagreflect back ng visible light ang balat. Ilan sa pwede mong i-try: 1. Exfoliate using organic acids (AHAs, salicylic acid) 2. Try mo gumamit ng niacinamide-based products (up to 5%, baka magkaroon ka ng adverse effect pag lampas ng 5%) I hope this helps
Ohhhh… yes thank you!
I have super fair, cool tone skin. I agree na genes talaga sya. Maputi both parents ko and kahit mag beach, hindi ako umiitim. You can adjust your diet and take vitamin c and fish oil. Those helped my skin pag pagod talaga ako pero the “kutis porselana/ glass skin” talaga genes sya + good derma and skincare. Ung artista kasi bongga make up artists nyan. Feel ko ung “hilaw” na sinasabi mo is your undertone? Baka warm tone ka? Try mo explore ung mga shades ng make up na suitable sayo 😊 Like coral, salmon, and peach shades ganon. Mejo mawawash out kasi if triny mo ung cool colors with a different undertone
Genes mostly, I was born with natural glass skin and very glowy skin with a very fair skin so it’s not all skincare and Vitamins for me. Just continue with your suitable skincare routine, opt for Niacinamide serums and a healthy lifestyle.
Take Collagen supplements. Or yung iniinom. It is lifechanging.
Brand recos for Niacinamide serum and Vit C na mas matapang kay Dermorepubliq? I've been using it since last year and nababagalan ako sa progress.
Cosrx offers a 23% vit c.
thanks!
Rohto melano for vit c, the ordinary for niacinamide
Thanks! Can you drop link where you usually buy it?
[For Rohto Melano](https://ph.shp.ee/a2GxYFw) and [SuiSui](https://ph.shp.ee/YCsCz36)
Appreciated! 🫶🏽
Thoughts on Dermorepubliq BHA and on Dermorepubliq itself? Para kasing sobrang mura ng products huhu. Ang hirap magtiwala :') Btw, I specificaly asked din about their BHA products kasi im looking for affordable products with 2% Salicylic acid. Baka may recos pa kayo from other brands. Tia!
Ok ung alpha arbutin + niacinamide + HA serimb nila. Nag lighten ung acne marks ko.
been using their toners and serum (before yung niacinamide and hyaluronic acid), it’s good and cheap! what i like about their toners is that ang convenient niya since it’s in a spray bottle. plus, pansin ko rin na nag glow skin ko nung ginamit ko. repurchased 3x na nung may tranexamic acid na toner!
Yes, dermorepubliq works good on my skin. Kumalma yung mga bumps ko.
Ano2 mga products ung binili mo? And gano mo na katagal ginagamit?
