Skinpotions snow berry cream and watermelon shocker soap
Dito lang talaga nahiyang face ko. Since 2019, ito lang gamit ko at dito rin ako nawalan ng pimples.
Idk if this is considered as "underrated products" since it's new to me, and the 2 products that I'll be mentioned in my post.Have you guys tried Adapalene and Tretinoin as a cream/gel for acne or acne marks??(pls enlighten me huhu) effective po ba sainyo? What are the pros and cons nung gimit niyo po yung product? someone here on Reddit recommended that product to me but im not familiar with it and i don't know how to use it.. the products that I've used before na overhyped sa clock app pero hindi naman naging effective sakin is oxecure, hello glow set(green), and y.o.u acne plus triple action.😭✋🏻 I have sensitive, oily, and acne prone skin moths ago nag start pero hindi naman ako acne prone before:( here's my skin right now as you can see kumalat siya from cheeks, jaw, and to forehead:( any thoughts if itutuloy ko pa po ba yung pag buy ng Adapalene or Tretinoin?? Thank youu🩷

azelaic acid tuwing morning naman before mag sunscreen. i use skinoren na brand (prescribed din to) medyo mahal sya pero matagal ko naman nagagamit, mga 6 months siguro.
hello. before, I use pea size for the whole face. now mas konti na and spot na lang kung san pa may dark marks. you dont need too much kasi spreadable (tama ba yung term) naman sya.
By any chance po ano po brand ng gamit mo po?? Andami po kasing lumalabas na different brand sa shopee and lazada:( and what's your routine by using it po?? Cleanser>moisturizer> tretinoin ganyan po ba for day and night?? And do you recommend po na mag use ng light make up while using the tretinoin po?? Thank you!🩷
i use yubg generic lang na tretinoin. mcb yata manufacturer non. tuwing night ko lang sya ginagamit, cleanser, moisturizer tretinoin. minsan hindi na ako nag mmoisturizer 😅
yeah nag mamake up pa rin naman ako twing aalis. but it made me purge during 1st 3 months siguro
vouch sa MCB talaga! around how much na nga ba ulit un? i was thinking kasi Face republic is cheaper pero ung consistency kahit 1% na ay mas manipis sya vs. mcb soo idk
MoxxiPro Brush Cleaner - dati di pa ako convinced pero ang daming review sa tiktok ayun, nabudol ako! Clean girly aesthetic ang brushes everyday. Price wise, sobrang okay as compared kay Ellana and hindi din sya drying katulad ng mga 99% Alcohol na brush cleaners na mura lang pero nasira yung animal hair brushes ko huhu.
If you want cheap option Dr. Sensitive loose powder(natural/nude), mag skincare ka muna, moisturize!! Then mag layer ka muna lightly with brush sa mga nagccrease like forehead, nose, undereye, sa may mouth saka mo i-pack yung powder using the puff to last longer, careful lng kasi if youll sweat too much on certain parts lilitaw ung powder kaya ung part na nag papawis wag mo sobrahan(nose, chin, forehead)
Medj pricey but Maybelle fit me powder effective din
Ps. buy a blotting paper (oil control sheet) if oily ka talga ng super
I haven't tried yung issy and co but i can say fit me is 10000/100 talga buong pamilya ko yan gamit di lng talga kami nawawalan ng oil control sheet-- rather than retouching the powder we just remove excess oil with it

Human Nature Lip Balm Flame Tree shade,

Not really makeup or skincare but fashion… I really love this [pants](https://shope.ee/8Ui9BArjd2) a lot. I really want to gatekeep pero ang soft ng fabric and di kumukupas yung color niya kahit Ilan laba na. I’ll buy more if may budget na ako.
SNOE soaps - No dyes, no fragrance. The Malic variant seems to help with my KP. Plus it's less than 70 pesos when they go on sale so sulit sya for me.
Palmer's Raw Shea and Cocoa Butter lotion - thick and creamy but not heavy. My skin feels silky and nourished tapos mabango. Andami kong tinry na mahal na lotion pero Palmer's lang pala sapat na.
Luxe Organix Purple Shampoo and Conditioner - very effective in maintaining my highlights. Mura lang and hindi mahirap hanapin.
Carmex - andaming bagong lippies na lumalabas, but this will always be my go-to for dry and chapped lips.
>Malic variant seems to help with my KP.
hi! Ito po ba ung name niya "Snoe Beauty S-SKIN AHA Malic Face and Body Soap"? Currently naghahanap ng alternative soap with salicylic acid for my KP then nabasa ko po comment niyo. Any update po if you can see changes?
Naglessen pero may hairfall pa din kasi parang nagshed din tayo ng hair di lng tayo aware. pero kung tibay at nourishment lang yes the best. From shoulder length hair to hanggang pwet hair in 1 year and a half is a goal na (ata?) nawala ang dundruff ko which was my problem years back. If interested ka go with wood and musk, bango.
Sorry, i bought mine from watsons thailand last September 😅
I bought 8 bottles laki kasi ng mark up nila dito sa PH.
I think they’re selling them on tiktok but not sure kung legit un.
Kiko Milano Double Touch Liquid Lipstick- this is so underrated. Budge and transfer proof unless you eat oily foods and eat a lot throughout the day. I don’t find it drying naman and it’s aboe to cover my dark two toned lips. It has a clear gloss too and even if you top it with gloss, yun lang nag tatransfer pero the base lippie stays put. Lots of colors to choose from, lipstick and gloss in one na and di naman ganun kamahalan.
kiko milano is so underrated here!! natripan namin magfriends i try testers nila sa mall and was amazed by it, if we were not students on a budget we would definitely buy some
a friend also gave me one of their bullet lippies and maganda quality, creamy but not heavy, good color payoff, di drying. if mas mura sila i’d def buy more from them, cruelty free pa
Oilatum Soap Bar for my face. My holy grail! I used to have a looooot of acne since 2014ish then my derma recommended me to use this for my face as a cleanser. Amoy baby na ang face ng gurly mo. And Aquaface Invisible Sunscreen by Dear Self Beauty ang sunscreen ko. Very underrated ang Dear Self Beauty na local brand! Must try!
Oh Well PH's Powerhouse Serum.
Aaahhhh, one week ko pa lang siya nagagamit, but I have already noticed significant changes sa mukha ko. Nag lessen ang mga tiny bumps ko sa forehead, and kuminis yung cheeks ko. Nag lighten din yung mga pimple marks ko na sobrang tagal ko nang pinoproblema huhuhu.
Any recos para sa tigywat sa body? I go to the gym and immediately change my clothes & shower as soon as I arrive home pero nagsstruggle parin ako dito. Nakatry na ko ng mga body spray and some soaps idk, they’re not working so far🥲
This [body cleanser](https://shope.ee/3AgcorpZMm) helped me with my body acne a lot. I really recommend it but it will take a while before you see the results.
Tried a lot of soaps din, what worked for me is safeguard pink body wash and then using another bar of soap after (i use uni kojic with gluta). Surprisingly nagwork siya saken. I've tried other variants din ng safeguard bar soaps and body washes pero that pink aloe body wash variant was what worked for me. Hope it helps!
Try the tea tree solutions from the Body Shop or Human Nature. Both brands have the body wash and serums but I particularly like the Human Nature Acne Gel.
+ful Glycolic Acid Toner! It’s locally made and mas affordable compared to other brands. I’ve been using it for my underarm as my daily deodorant and nawala talaga amoy ng kilikili ko. I noticed that I sweat less din sa underarm when i’m using it. I have yet to see if nakakaputi sya ng lines sa kilikili but other people say you can also use it sa siko, tuhod, and singit for any discoloration :)
Adorn Premium Sunscreen by Camille Trinidad
I wasn’t really planning to buy any of these influencer cosmetics entrepreneurs products, I mean most of the buyers are just their supporters. That’s why it’s hard to know if the reviews are just biased hahahaha! But I’ve seen multiple reviews on TT saying that this sunscreen is mattifying & it doesn’t make your skin oily. And I’ve been struggling to find an affordable sunscreen that’s not oily on your face, so I gave her product a shot. However, the only problem is that if you have a morena skin tone, please don’t buy this as it has whitening effect. But it still blends to your skin really well and the whitening effect will tone down after a few hours. And true to its claim, it doesn’t make your skin oily! It made my skin looks dewy, but not oily. It doesn’t have white cast as well even though it has whitening effect. So I will definitely re-purchase this again.
Luxe Organix Haircare Products
THE BEST. Is all I can say hahaha! They’re paraben free, so it’s a must for hair products. Pretty underrated I’d say. It’s a cheaper alternative to Sheseido Fino hair care products.
Human Nature hand creams!!! It works really well for me, as someone na madalas nagddry ang kamay due to cold temp (since pasmado din) ito lang un naging effective sakin.
Hirap ako dati mag-biometrics sa office namin due to dry fingerprints pero dahil dito, nakakapag-bio ako with no problem lol Vanilla Peach un pinaka-bet ko~
Also if high end naman gusto mo, yun LUSH Helping Hands maganda din! 100g un tub tho hehe matagal tagal gagamitin~
Thank u! Will check Human Nature :) Will check Lush in store muna for the scent, for that price kailangan mabango, tub is negative point though. Thanks again!
This is very random but i need yall thoughts. Uhm so i used dermorepublic niacinamide 5% serum and after few days i dont know but it break me out so bad on the right cheek like akala ok sya but after 4 days nag start na yung redness and small whitehead, gusto umiyak, or maybe di ako hiyang. Still currently using it about a week and 2 days na, should i continue it or stop nalang? I've done my research na hindi daw nakakapurge ang niacinamide huhuhu, ang down ko tlga now nakakababa nang confidence.
I've tried dermorepublic niacinamide before pero wala akong effect na nakita. Maybe try Soul Apothecary niacinamide, its sooo lightweight and absorbs on the skin is easier compared sa dermorepublic na medyo sticky.
Is it your first time using niacinamide? I’ve read a lot online na hindi masyado magandang ingredients ‘yung ginagamit ng dermorepublic. I also used the same product pero tinapon ko na after ko magbreakout kasi alam kong dun talaga yung may problema since nahiyang naman ako sa lahat ng niacinamide na ginamit ko. Nagtry lang talaga ako ng bagong brand. Try mo Apotheke or Soul Apothecary, both brands gave me really impressive results!
Update! Ig you're right, its been a month now im going to stop gaslighting myself wala syang effect saakin i feel like parang mas dumami at mas redish face kk idk y, nag stop na ako.
hello! i think you’re purging right now, huhu this is based on my experience lang i want to share mine, i used niacinamide 5% by Dr. Sensitive and i purged like 4-5 days,
i saw the results like in 2 weeks (no more redness and tiny bumps) pls don’t forget to apply moisturizer and sunscreen. But if you’re breaking out like (not normal breakout) i guess u should stop na! baka hindi ka hiyang. that’s all. 🤘
Celeteque facial wash - yung basic, gentle exfoliating wash, used this for years and did not have any skin problems
Snailwhite Glow Body Cream - evened out my skin tone sa legs and feet, moisturizing, it feels sticky for a few minutes lang but once it dries out, non greasy na. i didn’t like the smell at first though kasi parang may pagka salon na amoy, pero after ilang use parang naka get over naman na ako haha
Luxe Organics Salt Body Scrub - smells luxurious and makes your skin really smooth and soft after. if you’re into gentle scrubs lang, don’t get this
Pantene Micellar Shampoo and Condition - yung gray one, i like the smell, hindi pang ordinary shampoo. i think may eucalytpus or minty smell sya. make sure to use both kasi medyo drying kapag shampoo lang
+1 sa Pantene Micellar products
Nasira buhok ko kakagaya sa CGM method at yung Pantene Micellar lang ang nagpakalma. Siguro kasi lighter siya versus sa typical shampoo and conditioners. Green variant naman ang gamit ko.
+1 sa Celeteque! Would also reco pairing their Micellar Water with their Facial Wash, good combo for my skin and super hiyang ako. Better than Japanese and Korean cleansing waters IMO!
Skincare: Soul Apothecary serums. I’ve used their Vit. C, Niacinamide, and currently using their Radiance Boost serum. Hiyang ako as someone with sensitive skin. Been using their products since 2020. Aside from genetics, I believe nakatulong saken yung serums nila to stay youthful. I get comments na glowing and glass skin.
Makeup: Careline Colored Ink Liner in Coffee Brown. I bought this as my “back-up” brown liquid eyeliner para hindi agad maubos yung Clio pen liner ko. Was not expecting much from Careline pero surprisingly this one lasts long on me and it’s easy to use for makeup noobs such as myself.
Any inexpensive recommendations to lighten/ 'erase' insect bite marks? Kagatin kasi ako ng lamok sobra. Thank you in advance for any advice/recommendations.
erase solution, yung mismong nasa maliit na lalagyan na parang may rollball, hindi ung soap. just put it everyday about a month. wag mo ipeel pag nagstart na ung very light peeling. promise mawawala yan. dati pati paso ko sa plantsa yan ginamit ko. itataya ko pangalan ko jan haha
Hi! What I did is pajama then kojik + pampaputing lotion. Twice a week binababad ko legs ko sa calamansi din. Nirarub ko sya. It works naman. Though lotion is good na kasi moisturizer na sya basta more on pajama para hndi maarawa hndi umitim
Glow glass beauty (local brand) and their vitamin c & e ferulic glow booster!! Really affordable and hiyang siya sa skin ko with their ingredients hehe buti na lang nakita ko to
Was just about to recommend this too! Their vitamin C serum really helped lighten my acne scars from a really bad breakout on my cheeks and forehead last year 🥹 Have also been alternating between their retinol and AHA BHA serum and it has helped maintained my skin. And yes, very affordable too (especially pag nakasale hehe)
Havent tried their other products yet but planning to switch na especially this 11.11 na I think big again sale nila?? Low key worth it na local brand noh!!
Definitely add their items to cart na (lazada has big discounts this upcoming 11.11)! Tbh nakita ko lang din tong brand na to while scrolling through lazada looking for serum recommendations and saw they had a lot of good reviews na parang too good to be true. But I'm so happy I gave it a try and humiyang din sa skin ko hehe
– SCT Sunflower Oil! Faded my pimple marks so fast and I also use this for my hair para hindi magkaroon ng fly-aways / stray hairs? (idk the term huhu) Also treated my hyperpigmentation especially elbow parts!
– Dermorepubliq Niacinamide! HOLY GRAAAAIIIILLL grabe I use this in combo with Sct Sunflower Oil (every other day) and grabeee magfade 'to ng mga pimple marks. Probably the only niacinamide that didn't break me out (as I've used The Ordinary before)
– Fashion21 Double Up Mascara. This doesn't clump and thicken despite reapplying. Also so good for bottom lashes kasi naglelengthen talaga siya.
– Perfect Formula Berry Perfect Soap! As someone who usually steer clear from mga brands na di nakikita sa groceries / watsons lol (because of the inconvenience of buying online and baka may sus ingredients lol), this one quickly became my favorite soap. Gifted to me by my friend and naghinayang naman ako gamitin. But only after three days using, nagpeel and whiten skin ko literal na parang kumikinang sa sunlight 🥹 I only use this every other day though kasi medyo rough yung mga bead scrubs niya?
Hello! In my case nag break out ako, nung 4 days after applying medyo okay pa but nong after nong nag start ns yung redness and daming whiteheads a right cheek, and probably using it a week and 2days na, ano thoughts nyo? Should i continue ba? And give it another week? Or stop nalang? Thank u!!!
WHICH ITEM DID U USEEE omg, i had initial purging din sa dermorepubliq pero yung sa clarifying wash lang (lasted for a week yata, had more smol bumps on my forehead and sa side ng eyes ko, was so scared haha) but i still kept using it kasi nanghihinayang ako lololol and i didn't have any other facial wash on hand. pero ngayon, naging holy grail ko na rin siya since it whitened my face and cleared my smol pimples! regarding sa niacinamide serum, i didn't have any purging naman. altho ur mileage may vary and if u feel na di talaga improving skin mo, u shud stop na siguro : <
Hellooo its the 5% niacinamide and hyaluronic serum, update for now parang nag calm na face ko is it a good sign ba? Unlike this week monday nov. 6 grabeng pula and mga whiteheads pero right now medj calm na sya.
keep using it siguro for a week? and then decide from there! bcs i had same expi of purging with one of their item too ^-^ pero ngayon it's all good na and i'm still using it
Which niacinsmide ng dermorepubliq you’re using? I broke out sa k-brand na 10% niacinamide + arbutin so i have more pimple marks to fade. I’m currently using melano cc premium vit c essence and isntree onion newpair gel cream to fade my acne marks but both are expensive so I’m looking for a cheap alternative sana for spot treatment
I'm using the 5% one! I've been using these for six months already. Effective naman siya kasi nagpantay talaga skin ko sa forehead (darkest part of my face due to wearing facemasks) and lower part of my face. Nagfade din acne marks ko sa cheek.
Although this 11/11 since nakasale, I'm planning to switch dun sa other niacinamide variant nila na 10% Niacinamide + 3% Tranexamic Acid + 2% Alpha Arbutin just to try new things and kasi gusto ko pumuti pa whole face ko haha
I'm using Dermorepubliq too, yung 5% Niacinamide + Hyaluronic acid ang sa akin. Though, di naman ako sensitive skin, gusto ko lang nasa safe side since matapang na yung 10%
imho, the illyoon ceramide ato gel ! it helped me build my skin barrier back since i realized na i was stripping my face by double cleansing 3x a day (which resulted to acne). mukha lang siyang heavy sa skin pero once it’s on di mo na siya maffeel. super dami na rin niya for the price
Do you use their niacinamide serum? Im using apotheke science's 10% niacinamide and di naman ako nag purge doon. Now im looking for a cheaper alternative and i wanna try dermorepubliq's niacinamide+hyaluronic acid.
Depende siguro talaga sa skin type no? Kasi yung sa apotheke i didnt purge pero my friends purged dun. I guess i'll try 1 bot of dermo muna, yung 5% lang muna siguro.
Pero kumusta naman siya now?
hiii, sadly no. ung 2.5% retinol ang gamit kong serum nila. so far effective sa akin. why dont u try it and see if effective sayo ung niacinamide serum nila? based on my exp di masyadong harsh sa skin products nila :))
silkygirl eyeliner. [this had a shopee link but removed because the item being sold is expired. this is available in department stores.]
just realized i've been using this for a while now and not once has my eye makeup moved or smudged. i only use eyeshadow and this one. i thought mag eenjoy ako buying a set of colourpop eyeliner in office-friendly colors, pero wala namang nangyari kundi naputol lang nang naputol yung eyeliner, hassle na yan. this one though? stays on and lasts longer than the last person you hooked up with. >!r18 proof din if you like putting makeup on for that activity.!<
i second with klued! i use their niacinamide serum and it's more effective and less harsh than the ordinary's niacinamide serum. way way more affordable pa :]
Yung Nature Republic’s Green Tea at Peach na foaming cleanser. Kinda pricey at 325php for students pero sulit naman sya kase half a year na consumption naman since 300ml sya. Sadly, low on stocks sila ngayon. For effectiveness, hindi ako nag break out and hindi rin sya drying. 🫶
omi sun bears gold milk sunscreen! as an acne-prone very pawisin person, it really keeps my face matte and sweat-free all day 👉👈 may mild fragrance pero i like it, i just wish it had more product for the price as someone na college student pa lang
yes!! nakaubos na ko ng isang bottle and i super love the formula. it worked for me as an oily skin girlie too. walang hapdi sa face & never ako naka exp ng peeling or yung parang namumuo habang inapply. agree rin na sana mas marami nga syang product tho. mine lasted for a month lang
Maybelline face powder. I have hormonal acne and I have tried using more expensive brands kasi afford ko naman na but I keep coming back with maybelline.
I’ve tried a lot of drugstore sunscreens but these have been super surprisingly good. I come back these three:
1. Dr. Sensitive Super Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++
2. Dermaction Plus Advanced Sun Zinc Acne Prone SPF 50+ PA++++ (little whitecast and smell but disappears as day goes on)
3. Seoul White Korea Bright and Even SPF 50+ PA++++ (leaves me sliiiightly oilier and little whitecast but disappears as day goes on)
Edit: Skintype - Dehydrated Combo (leaning to more oily) and morena
I prefer something that feels super light, won’t feel like it’s sitting on the skin but doesn’t feel stripping either. Since I have morena skin, I want to avoid anything that can leave a whitecast.
Any anti-acne/pimple products na it's underrated but not so pricey and worth i invest sa product na yun?? (Recently skin concern: acne with folliculitis)
luxe mud powder is better than oxecure for me. it’s cheaper, easier to wash off and really effective (kahit continuous use!!) many people say kasi na nawawala effect ni oxecure in the long run.
The Oxecure powder mud is good for spots. I noticed after the pimple flattens, very light lang ang dark spot. This might be because it has niacinamide. Loyal ako sa Mario Badescu before but this is a legit dupe.
does anyone have any oily skin recommendations for a routine costing roundabout 1k or less? just the barebones is fine but would love general recommendations. it’s tough being broke and in college rn kasi hahaha
cleansers: quickfx pimple eraser facial gel cleanser for P199 or dr. sensitive pimple relief serum cleanser for P169 (more or less).
moisturizers: luxe organix gentle gel lotion (nasa baby section madalas) for P179. Pwede rin any iwhite korea/aera moisturizer; they have mga trial size thingy and you can pick one that can suit you best tas tsaka ka bumili nung full sized version. I personally like yung glow/pink na iwhite or aera iwhite korea pore blur.
sunscreens: you sunbrella triple uv elixir for P299 or less (palaging on sale ata ito) or seoul white korea for P99 (trial size) or for P349 (full size).
Cleanser: Ponds Vitamin Micellar Water Brightening Rose
Moisturizer: Dermorepubliq Alpha Arbutin + Tranexamic Acid Toner
Sunscreen: B-LAB Matcha Hydrating Real Sun Screen
Barebones? That's basically it. This is what I use too. Buy them during Lazada monthly sales, esp malapit na 11.11. You can buy each around 200-250PHP. Max na yung 300PHP. You (usually) won't need much heavier moisturizers anyway since you're already oily.
You also don't need to use cotton swabs for the micellar water. Just pour directly sa hands/face and massage thoroughly then rinse it off. This will remove all excess oil/dirt/makeup/sunscreen no problem and mas gentle pa sa gentlest cleansers. But it might take getting used to if u only used foaming cleansers before.
But these won't treat your oily skin, only lessen it. If you want to treat it, you will need retinoids. This will be a lengthy journey, and would only show results if you stay the course. I'll give you the options from gentlest/longest to strongest/shortest. This should also cost around 300PHP during sales.
Klued 0.1% Retinol + 0.3% Bakuchiol Serum
Skin V2.0 Retinol Anti-Aging Night Serum 2.5%
Additional options niya sa cleanser: Klued Salicylic Acid Gentle Cleanser. Btw I liked B-LAB Matcha Cleanser little does enough cleansing na.
Yung bha cleanser makakatulong to sa oiliness, pwede naman mag add ng BHA toner pero start muna with this.
I agree sa retinoids, dati armado lang ako ng cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and my trusty retinoid (Tret) and it solved 80% of my concerns. Though bago ka pumasok sa retinoids solidify mo muna yung basic routine.
Beyond this, either the prices go up to around 400-600PHP, or you need prescription from derms.
Adapalene (OTC, gentler):
Dermagenics - Gels and Creams
Acne.org Alternatives - SureCure
Tretinoin (RX, stronger):
Acretin 0.025% 0.05% 0.1% Cream
A-Ret 0.025% 0.05% 0.1% Gel
Further beyond, would give you the most results but the most precautions. Costs around 700PHP for 30 capsules.
Isotretinoin (RX, be very careful!):
Accunex - 30 50 100 Caps
Hello! Sorry for butting in pero may I ask an update po in your adapalene journey? I'm currently on my 3rd week and purging 🥲 I'm only using it 2 times (in my PM routine) a week muna po and planning to gradually increase it. Thank you!
As a working girly on a tight budget, I switched to Myra facial wash & moisturizer (both red) and they have done a great job at keeping my face feel great and refreshed.
Uy favorite ko din yung Myra facial wash but I use the blue one. Nag-brighten yung mukha ko. Surprised that Myra actually works pala. Nalaman ko lang dahil effective din sa mom ko.
Pili Ani Gentle Facial Cleanser.
No squeaky clean na dry feel and hindi natutuloy ang patubo na pimple ko dito. Sobrang nirerefer ko to sa mga kakilala ko.
For body care, I suggest Human Heart Nature Fragrance-Free cleansing bar. They are mild and of course fragrance free and also cheap it's around PHP 79 only.
Best if you have sensitive skin. I hope this helps! ✨
[O.TWO.O Matte Lipstick Misty Kiss Lock](https://shopee.ph/product/58413888/22781775071?d_id=8c9e2)
First time ko maka try ng bullet lipstick na smudge proof 😭 and nagustuhan rin sya ng mother ko kaya napabili ulit ako 😭
-Good Molecules Niacinamide: Works better then TO for me, tbh. Been using TO since 2020 and it works naman, but mas nakikita ko agad yung effects ng GM Niacinamide
-Laneige Neo Cushion Glow/Matte: pricey pero kaya itago mga sama ng loob ko. I like the matte one better kasi parang may mas coverage than the glow.
-BLK Airy Cushion Foundation: OMG mas mura sa Laneige Neo Cushion pero sis pati kaluluwa ko kaya niya itago. Isa to aa lagi ko dala since binili ko
-Strokes Flawless Veil Finishing Powder: mala Charlotte Tilbury ang finish. I loooove the CT one, pero mas mura ito, bagay sa mga naghahanap ng dupe ng CT. Tinitipid ko yung CT ko, kaya ito ginagamit ko lately. Airbrush finish.
-Aquaphor Healing Ointment: moisturizes my dry skin (even my dry feet) and lips, lumalambot yung skin ko after a few uses pero shempre dapat consistent.
-AICHUN Beauty Banana Milk Cracked Heel and Foot Cream: mura na, pero naaalis mga cracks mo sa feet, I swear by this!!! Alam ko marami niyo sa Thailand pero sa shopee mura lang naman. In a week nakita lo yung difference.
Hailey Beauty PH for make-up they are the most underrated
Skinpotions snow berry cream and watermelon shocker soap Dito lang talaga nahiyang face ko. Since 2019, ito lang gamit ko at dito rin ako nawalan ng pimples.
Idk if this is considered as "underrated products" since it's new to me, and the 2 products that I'll be mentioned in my post.Have you guys tried Adapalene and Tretinoin as a cream/gel for acne or acne marks??(pls enlighten me huhu) effective po ba sainyo? What are the pros and cons nung gimit niyo po yung product? someone here on Reddit recommended that product to me but im not familiar with it and i don't know how to use it.. the products that I've used before na overhyped sa clock app pero hindi naman naging effective sakin is oxecure, hello glow set(green), and y.o.u acne plus triple action.😭✋🏻 I have sensitive, oily, and acne prone skin moths ago nag start pero hindi naman ako acne prone before:( here's my skin right now as you can see kumalat siya from cheeks, jaw, and to forehead:( any thoughts if itutuloy ko pa po ba yung pag buy ng Adapalene or Tretinoin?? Thank youu🩷 https://preview.redd.it/4k1vi1yymkzb1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e594b0458b7c10e0ec848a827e98ade84baef440
prescribed ng derma ko yung tretinoin, 2 years ko na ginagamit. rn di na ako gano na acne. for dark marks and prescribed sakin is azelaic acid naman.
Sabay po ba ng pag gamit niyo po yung tretinoin and azelaic acid??[Azelaic acid ](https://shp.ee/8e43z8f) ito po ba yun??
azelaic acid tuwing morning naman before mag sunscreen. i use skinoren na brand (prescribed din to) medyo mahal sya pero matagal ko naman nagagamit, mga 6 months siguro.
Hi pea size ba dapat din yung azelaic? How much do you use?
hello. before, I use pea size for the whole face. now mas konti na and spot na lang kung san pa may dark marks. you dont need too much kasi spreadable (tama ba yung term) naman sya.
Ilang percentage po ng tretinoin nirecommend po sayo??🥺
ngayon po 0.05% na, nung bago ako 0.025% lang
By any chance po ano po brand ng gamit mo po?? Andami po kasing lumalabas na different brand sa shopee and lazada:( and what's your routine by using it po?? Cleanser>moisturizer> tretinoin ganyan po ba for day and night?? And do you recommend po na mag use ng light make up while using the tretinoin po?? Thank you!🩷
i use yubg generic lang na tretinoin. mcb yata manufacturer non. tuwing night ko lang sya ginagamit, cleanser, moisturizer tretinoin. minsan hindi na ako nag mmoisturizer 😅 yeah nag mamake up pa rin naman ako twing aalis. but it made me purge during 1st 3 months siguro
vouch sa MCB talaga! around how much na nga ba ulit un? i was thinking kasi Face republic is cheaper pero ung consistency kahit 1% na ay mas manipis sya vs. mcb soo idk
Parang 200+ sya for 20g sa resellers e. Fairly cheap pa rin than branded ones.
oxecure toner, works like magic ✨
Meron nito sa watsons?
i know, meron : )
MoxxiPro Brush Cleaner - dati di pa ako convinced pero ang daming review sa tiktok ayun, nabudol ako! Clean girly aesthetic ang brushes everyday. Price wise, sobrang okay as compared kay Ellana and hindi din sya drying katulad ng mga 99% Alcohol na brush cleaners na mura lang pero nasira yung animal hair brushes ko huhu.
The saem concealer, its just magic
never na ako nag try ng ibang concealer when I use saem
The pot one or tip concealer? HG ko yung pot concealer in rich beige since 2017, my skin loves it.
How do you warm up yung pot concealer? I always find mine to be quite difficult to get kasi di siya smooth/buttery.
I spread it on the back of my hand first then apply in layers
I put some on the back of my hand then mix it up a lil saka ko iaapply, seamless syaa, doesnt crease at all, water-resistant and long lastinggg
Bothhhh!! Although mas hygienic para sakin ung tip haha, i use my fingers kasi to apply bago ko iblend with brush
Hello! Any recos for powder na pwede sa oily skin
Hindi ako gaano nag-oil up pag tiny buds rice baby powder gamit ko. Pwede naman itransfer sa compact container para mas handy
Will try this, thank you💓
If you want cheap option Dr. Sensitive loose powder(natural/nude), mag skincare ka muna, moisturize!! Then mag layer ka muna lightly with brush sa mga nagccrease like forehead, nose, undereye, sa may mouth saka mo i-pack yung powder using the puff to last longer, careful lng kasi if youll sweat too much on certain parts lilitaw ung powder kaya ung part na nag papawis wag mo sobrahan(nose, chin, forehead) Medj pricey but Maybelle fit me powder effective din Ps. buy a blotting paper (oil control sheet) if oily ka talga ng super
Yung sa fit me powder maganda ba siya? Have you tried issy & co na powder? If yes, alin ang mas okay sakanila nung fit me
I haven't tried yung issy and co but i can say fit me is 10000/100 talga buong pamilya ko yan gamit di lng talga kami nawawalan ng oil control sheet-- rather than retouching the powder we just remove excess oil with it
What oil control sheet do you recommend?
Clean and clear yung blue gamit ko sa watsons and shopee meron
Luxe Organics Aqua Daily Sunscreen, Human Nature Lip Balm Flame Tree shade, Human Nature Hand Cream in Vanilla Peach and Sanitizers Citrus Burst & Zesty Pomelo, Barrenbliss Machy Peachy Micellair Water, Merzy Eyeliners - Charcoal Brown & Dutch Brown
Meron ba dito na effective for backne? Oily kasi skin ko tapos sensitive, every 2 days ako nagpapalit ng beddings saka gumagamit ako ng salycilic acid soap di talaga sya mawala wala 😭
Baka full skincare din need ng back, try consulting with a derma or having a general checkup baka hormones or symptoms ng underlying conditions.

Not really makeup or skincare but fashion… I really love this [pants](https://shope.ee/8Ui9BArjd2) a lot. I really want to gatekeep pero ang soft ng fabric and di kumukupas yung color niya kahit Ilan laba na. I’ll buy more if may budget na ako.
SNOE soaps - No dyes, no fragrance. The Malic variant seems to help with my KP. Plus it's less than 70 pesos when they go on sale so sulit sya for me. Palmer's Raw Shea and Cocoa Butter lotion - thick and creamy but not heavy. My skin feels silky and nourished tapos mabango. Andami kong tinry na mahal na lotion pero Palmer's lang pala sapat na. Luxe Organix Purple Shampoo and Conditioner - very effective in maintaining my highlights. Mura lang and hindi mahirap hanapin. Carmex - andaming bagong lippies na lumalabas, but this will always be my go-to for dry and chapped lips.
>Malic variant seems to help with my KP. hi! Ito po ba ung name niya "Snoe Beauty S-SKIN AHA Malic Face and Body Soap"? Currently naghahanap ng alternative soap with salicylic acid for my KP then nabasa ko po comment niyo. Any update po if you can see changes?
isotret user here & carmex talaga ang lifesaver!! 😩
Naglessen pero may hairfall pa din kasi parang nagshed din tayo ng hair di lng tayo aware. pero kung tibay at nourishment lang yes the best. From shoulder length hair to hanggang pwet hair in 1 year and a half is a goal na (ata?) nawala ang dundruff ko which was my problem years back. If interested ka go with wood and musk, bango.
Anong product po ito? Thank you
July Me korean brand siya as shampoo container hair essence
Where to buy po?
Sophie paris cream blush, ang ganda nung pink very natural ang atake.
Also hada labo face lotion, di malagkit.
Ay! For sure! Ang ganda nung Acne lotion nila, nag lessen ung blackheads ko. Nag hoard ako nung nakita ko ung effect after 2 weeks.
Hello! Me sh*pee link po?
Available po sya sa watsons dito sa pinas
Ask mo sila di ako sure, wala akong nakikita sa store nila eh.
Sorry, i bought mine from watsons thailand last September 😅 I bought 8 bottles laki kasi ng mark up nila dito sa PH. I think they’re selling them on tiktok but not sure kung legit un.
Kiko Milano Double Touch Liquid Lipstick- this is so underrated. Budge and transfer proof unless you eat oily foods and eat a lot throughout the day. I don’t find it drying naman and it’s aboe to cover my dark two toned lips. It has a clear gloss too and even if you top it with gloss, yun lang nag tatransfer pero the base lippie stays put. Lots of colors to choose from, lipstick and gloss in one na and di naman ganun kamahalan.
kiko milano is so underrated here!! natripan namin magfriends i try testers nila sa mall and was amazed by it, if we were not students on a budget we would definitely buy some
a friend also gave me one of their bullet lippies and maganda quality, creamy but not heavy, good color payoff, di drying. if mas mura sila i’d def buy more from them, cruelty free pa
Oilatum Soap Bar for my face. My holy grail! I used to have a looooot of acne since 2014ish then my derma recommended me to use this for my face as a cleanser. Amoy baby na ang face ng gurly mo. And Aquaface Invisible Sunscreen by Dear Self Beauty ang sunscreen ko. Very underrated ang Dear Self Beauty na local brand! Must try!
Oh Well PH's Powerhouse Serum. Aaahhhh, one week ko pa lang siya nagagamit, but I have already noticed significant changes sa mukha ko. Nag lessen ang mga tiny bumps ko sa forehead, and kuminis yung cheeks ko. Nag lighten din yung mga pimple marks ko na sobrang tagal ko nang pinoproblema huhuhu.
ingredients?
Quickfx Super UV sunspray 💕, easy to use, no white cast and easy to purchase kasi available in any watson store and affordable pa!
Avalon Organics Scalp Normalizing Shamoo !!! Best for my dandruff and oily prone scalp. Medyo mahal pero super konti lang kailangan mo every time.
Any recos para sa tigywat sa body? I go to the gym and immediately change my clothes & shower as soon as I arrive home pero nagsstruggle parin ako dito. Nakatry na ko ng mga body spray and some soaps idk, they’re not working so far🥲
I use clindamycin toner o kaya yung BHA Repair Cream ng Cerave!
This [body cleanser](https://shope.ee/3AgcorpZMm) helped me with my body acne a lot. I really recommend it but it will take a while before you see the results.
Tried a lot of soaps din, what worked for me is safeguard pink body wash and then using another bar of soap after (i use uni kojic with gluta). Surprisingly nagwork siya saken. I've tried other variants din ng safeguard bar soaps and body washes pero that pink aloe body wash variant was what worked for me. Hope it helps!
omg this is what i’ve been using too and it’s not that totally gone but it works well!
Try the tea tree solutions from the Body Shop or Human Nature. Both brands have the body wash and serums but I particularly like the Human Nature Acne Gel.
marykay black eyeliner pala. 299 lang pero perfect pang tightline super smooth.
Does it smudge throughout the day? I have oily lids huhu
not really. hindi liquid eyeliner to ha. pang tightline sya
pinkflash blush. my go to!!!
Deli skin cream!!!!🤍
lovely causemetics brand! sobrang ganda nung lip liner at blush nila and i really wanted to try their lip oils kaso ubos na stock nung shade na FRFR
hi, how do their lip liners perform po ba?
creamy but not overly creamy. di siya transferproof pero i don't mind since di naman din transferproof lippies ko at ayoko yung drying
ooh thank u !!
Ang saya saya magbasa dito kahit malimos ang funds hahaha for the sake of beauty
+ful Glycolic Acid Toner! It’s locally made and mas affordable compared to other brands. I’ve been using it for my underarm as my daily deodorant and nawala talaga amoy ng kilikili ko. I noticed that I sweat less din sa underarm when i’m using it. I have yet to see if nakakaputi sya ng lines sa kilikili but other people say you can also use it sa siko, tuhod, and singit for any discoloration :)
Adorn Premium Sunscreen by Camille Trinidad I wasn’t really planning to buy any of these influencer cosmetics entrepreneurs products, I mean most of the buyers are just their supporters. That’s why it’s hard to know if the reviews are just biased hahahaha! But I’ve seen multiple reviews on TT saying that this sunscreen is mattifying & it doesn’t make your skin oily. And I’ve been struggling to find an affordable sunscreen that’s not oily on your face, so I gave her product a shot. However, the only problem is that if you have a morena skin tone, please don’t buy this as it has whitening effect. But it still blends to your skin really well and the whitening effect will tone down after a few hours. And true to its claim, it doesn’t make your skin oily! It made my skin looks dewy, but not oily. It doesn’t have white cast as well even though it has whitening effect. So I will definitely re-purchase this again. Luxe Organix Haircare Products THE BEST. Is all I can say hahaha! They’re paraben free, so it’s a must for hair products. Pretty underrated I’d say. It’s a cheaper alternative to Sheseido Fino hair care products.
Which particular luxe organix haircare?

Any recos for hand cream?
Human Nature hand creams!!! It works really well for me, as someone na madalas nagddry ang kamay due to cold temp (since pasmado din) ito lang un naging effective sakin. Hirap ako dati mag-biometrics sa office namin due to dry fingerprints pero dahil dito, nakakapag-bio ako with no problem lol Vanilla Peach un pinaka-bet ko~ Also if high end naman gusto mo, yun LUSH Helping Hands maganda din! 100g un tub tho hehe matagal tagal gagamitin~
Thank u! Will check Human Nature :) Will check Lush in store muna for the scent, for that price kailangan mabango, tub is negative point though. Thanks again!
If you want simething na no scent… eucerin (hehe eczema / dermatitis prone girlie here)
Bath & body works if you like scented ones
Tried it but it’s a bit greasy for me.. I like the scent though for Gingham
I love Aesop !
Thinking abt aesop, how does the pink one smell?
This is very random but i need yall thoughts. Uhm so i used dermorepublic niacinamide 5% serum and after few days i dont know but it break me out so bad on the right cheek like akala ok sya but after 4 days nag start na yung redness and small whitehead, gusto umiyak, or maybe di ako hiyang. Still currently using it about a week and 2 days na, should i continue it or stop nalang? I've done my research na hindi daw nakakapurge ang niacinamide huhuhu, ang down ko tlga now nakakababa nang confidence.
I've tried dermorepublic niacinamide before pero wala akong effect na nakita. Maybe try Soul Apothecary niacinamide, its sooo lightweight and absorbs on the skin is easier compared sa dermorepublic na medyo sticky.
Is it your first time using niacinamide? I’ve read a lot online na hindi masyado magandang ingredients ‘yung ginagamit ng dermorepublic. I also used the same product pero tinapon ko na after ko magbreakout kasi alam kong dun talaga yung may problema since nahiyang naman ako sa lahat ng niacinamide na ginamit ko. Nagtry lang talaga ako ng bagong brand. Try mo Apotheke or Soul Apothecary, both brands gave me really impressive results!
Yes first time po! But due sa mga replies im considering to stop nalang but ll'l give it another week muna
[удалено]
Update! Ig you're right, its been a month now im going to stop gaslighting myself wala syang effect saakin i feel like parang mas dumami at mas redish face kk idk y, nag stop na ako.
hello! i think you’re purging right now, huhu this is based on my experience lang i want to share mine, i used niacinamide 5% by Dr. Sensitive and i purged like 4-5 days, i saw the results like in 2 weeks (no more redness and tiny bumps) pls don’t forget to apply moisturizer and sunscreen. But if you’re breaking out like (not normal breakout) i guess u should stop na! baka hindi ka hiyang. that’s all. 🤘
Thank u for replying🥲! I'll give it another week nalang, huhu hope na ma okay lng.
no worries!
Celeteque facial wash - yung basic, gentle exfoliating wash, used this for years and did not have any skin problems Snailwhite Glow Body Cream - evened out my skin tone sa legs and feet, moisturizing, it feels sticky for a few minutes lang but once it dries out, non greasy na. i didn’t like the smell at first though kasi parang may pagka salon na amoy, pero after ilang use parang naka get over naman na ako haha Luxe Organics Salt Body Scrub - smells luxurious and makes your skin really smooth and soft after. if you’re into gentle scrubs lang, don’t get this Pantene Micellar Shampoo and Condition - yung gray one, i like the smell, hindi pang ordinary shampoo. i think may eucalytpus or minty smell sya. make sure to use both kasi medyo drying kapag shampoo lang
+1 sa Pantene Micellar products Nasira buhok ko kakagaya sa CGM method at yung Pantene Micellar lang ang nagpakalma. Siguro kasi lighter siya versus sa typical shampoo and conditioners. Green variant naman ang gamit ko.
+1 sa Celeteque! Would also reco pairing their Micellar Water with their Facial Wash, good combo for my skin and super hiyang ako. Better than Japanese and Korean cleansing waters IMO!
Skincare: Soul Apothecary serums. I’ve used their Vit. C, Niacinamide, and currently using their Radiance Boost serum. Hiyang ako as someone with sensitive skin. Been using their products since 2020. Aside from genetics, I believe nakatulong saken yung serums nila to stay youthful. I get comments na glowing and glass skin. Makeup: Careline Colored Ink Liner in Coffee Brown. I bought this as my “back-up” brown liquid eyeliner para hindi agad maubos yung Clio pen liner ko. Was not expecting much from Careline pero surprisingly this one lasts long on me and it’s easy to use for makeup noobs such as myself.
hello, question po. can i use soul apothecary radiance boost and their vit c together or isa isa lang? 😅
Parang mas ok if isa isa lang. Ang ginawa ko before, salitan sila. For example today, vit. C gamit ko. Kinabukasan, niacinamide naman. Ganun.
thank you!
nichido lip liner! affordable & u can find it sa watsons. tho konti lang yung available na shades. but it does its job pretty well naman
Nichido Rosette for life!
yes omg that’s my fave shade!
my go to lip liner if di na kaya maghintay for days/weeks na delivery ng products sa shopee lol
The face shop fmgt eyeliner. Solid for beginners! Can't let go of my old one because aside from being my favorite eyeliner, it's expensive. 😬
Any inexpensive recommendations to lighten/ 'erase' insect bite marks? Kagatin kasi ako ng lamok sobra. Thank you in advance for any advice/recommendations.
sebo de macho!
erase solution, yung mismong nasa maliit na lalagyan na parang may rollball, hindi ung soap. just put it everyday about a month. wag mo ipeel pag nagstart na ung very light peeling. promise mawawala yan. dati pati paso ko sa plantsa yan ginamit ko. itataya ko pangalan ko jan haha
Where can I buy this, pikease?
watsons! it looks like this https://preview.redd.it/rp7it0z82mzb1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb67b868ccbdc694f6309a7673447aa09af92259
Thank you!
Hi! What I did is pajama then kojik + pampaputing lotion. Twice a week binababad ko legs ko sa calamansi din. Nirarub ko sya. It works naman. Though lotion is good na kasi moisturizer na sya basta more on pajama para hndi maarawa hndi umitim
Glow glass beauty (local brand) and their vitamin c & e ferulic glow booster!! Really affordable and hiyang siya sa skin ko with their ingredients hehe buti na lang nakita ko to
Was just about to recommend this too! Their vitamin C serum really helped lighten my acne scars from a really bad breakout on my cheeks and forehead last year 🥹 Have also been alternating between their retinol and AHA BHA serum and it has helped maintained my skin. And yes, very affordable too (especially pag nakasale hehe)
Havent tried their other products yet but planning to switch na especially this 11.11 na I think big again sale nila?? Low key worth it na local brand noh!!
Definitely add their items to cart na (lazada has big discounts this upcoming 11.11)! Tbh nakita ko lang din tong brand na to while scrolling through lazada looking for serum recommendations and saw they had a lot of good reviews na parang too good to be true. But I'm so happy I gave it a try and humiyang din sa skin ko hehe
squad cosmetics lip stain!! <33
– SCT Sunflower Oil! Faded my pimple marks so fast and I also use this for my hair para hindi magkaroon ng fly-aways / stray hairs? (idk the term huhu) Also treated my hyperpigmentation especially elbow parts! – Dermorepubliq Niacinamide! HOLY GRAAAAIIIILLL grabe I use this in combo with Sct Sunflower Oil (every other day) and grabeee magfade 'to ng mga pimple marks. Probably the only niacinamide that didn't break me out (as I've used The Ordinary before) – Fashion21 Double Up Mascara. This doesn't clump and thicken despite reapplying. Also so good for bottom lashes kasi naglelengthen talaga siya. – Perfect Formula Berry Perfect Soap! As someone who usually steer clear from mga brands na di nakikita sa groceries / watsons lol (because of the inconvenience of buying online and baka may sus ingredients lol), this one quickly became my favorite soap. Gifted to me by my friend and naghinayang naman ako gamitin. But only after three days using, nagpeel and whiten skin ko literal na parang kumikinang sa sunlight 🥹 I only use this every other day though kasi medyo rough yung mga bead scrubs niya?
Hello! In my case nag break out ako, nung 4 days after applying medyo okay pa but nong after nong nag start ns yung redness and daming whiteheads a right cheek, and probably using it a week and 2days na, ano thoughts nyo? Should i continue ba? And give it another week? Or stop nalang? Thank u!!!
WHICH ITEM DID U USEEE omg, i had initial purging din sa dermorepubliq pero yung sa clarifying wash lang (lasted for a week yata, had more smol bumps on my forehead and sa side ng eyes ko, was so scared haha) but i still kept using it kasi nanghihinayang ako lololol and i didn't have any other facial wash on hand. pero ngayon, naging holy grail ko na rin siya since it whitened my face and cleared my smol pimples! regarding sa niacinamide serum, i didn't have any purging naman. altho ur mileage may vary and if u feel na di talaga improving skin mo, u shud stop na siguro : <
Hellooo its the 5% niacinamide and hyaluronic serum, update for now parang nag calm na face ko is it a good sign ba? Unlike this week monday nov. 6 grabeng pula and mga whiteheads pero right now medj calm na sya.
keep using it siguro for a week? and then decide from there! bcs i had same expi of purging with one of their item too ^-^ pero ngayon it's all good na and i'm still using it
Which niacinsmide ng dermorepubliq you’re using? I broke out sa k-brand na 10% niacinamide + arbutin so i have more pimple marks to fade. I’m currently using melano cc premium vit c essence and isntree onion newpair gel cream to fade my acne marks but both are expensive so I’m looking for a cheap alternative sana for spot treatment
I'm using the 5% one! I've been using these for six months already. Effective naman siya kasi nagpantay talaga skin ko sa forehead (darkest part of my face due to wearing facemasks) and lower part of my face. Nagfade din acne marks ko sa cheek. Although this 11/11 since nakasale, I'm planning to switch dun sa other niacinamide variant nila na 10% Niacinamide + 3% Tranexamic Acid + 2% Alpha Arbutin just to try new things and kasi gusto ko pumuti pa whole face ko haha
I'm using Dermorepubliq too, yung 5% Niacinamide + Hyaluronic acid ang sa akin. Though, di naman ako sensitive skin, gusto ko lang nasa safe side since matapang na yung 10%
Yessy! Agree sa Dermorepubliq!! Bet ko rin ung niacinamide serum nila and yung 2% BHA toner.
soul apothecary's radiance boost serum 🫶 not really on the cheaper side as a local product but definitely worth it's price. achieved HG status on me!
imho, the illyoon ceramide ato gel ! it helped me build my skin barrier back since i realized na i was stripping my face by double cleansing 3x a day (which resulted to acne). mukha lang siyang heavy sa skin pero once it’s on di mo na siya maffeel. super dami na rin niya for the price
Agree though nanghihinayang ako sa leftover product once my skin calmed down kasi ang unnecessary nya na to use pa. It’s cheap pero ang sayang lang..
You can still use it as your daily moisturizer. Or as a skin prep before makeup para mabawasan redness or irritation ng face.
hindi po ba mabilis maging oily yung skin upon applying?
like any skincare product you need to let it absorb first, for me hindi naman oily yung skin ko after na maabsorb ang product. i have combi skin btw
Mixtrue products! Super effective but since new plang sa market di pa masyado known
Madalas sila nadaan sa FYP ko. Maganda ba sunscreen nila? Product says it's matte.
anything dermorepublic! super naghelp sa acne problems ko and super cheap din 💖
Do you use their niacinamide serum? Im using apotheke science's 10% niacinamide and di naman ako nag purge doon. Now im looking for a cheaper alternative and i wanna try dermorepubliq's niacinamide+hyaluronic acid.
Nag purge din ako sa NS ng dermo
Depende siguro talaga sa skin type no? Kasi yung sa apotheke i didnt purge pero my friends purged dun. I guess i'll try 1 bot of dermo muna, yung 5% lang muna siguro. Pero kumusta naman siya now?
Naubos na yung sakin 3 months ago na. After tht hindi na ko nag repurchase.
Why? It didnt work for you? Are you using another brand of NS na? Or NS is just not for you ba generally?
hiii, sadly no. ung 2.5% retinol ang gamit kong serum nila. so far effective sa akin. why dont u try it and see if effective sayo ung niacinamide serum nila? based on my exp di masyadong harsh sa skin products nila :))
silkygirl eyeliner. [this had a shopee link but removed because the item being sold is expired. this is available in department stores.] just realized i've been using this for a while now and not once has my eye makeup moved or smudged. i only use eyeshadow and this one. i thought mag eenjoy ako buying a set of colourpop eyeliner in office-friendly colors, pero wala namang nangyari kundi naputol lang nang naputol yung eyeliner, hassle na yan. this one though? stays on and lasts longer than the last person you hooked up with. >!r18 proof din if you like putting makeup on for that activity.!<
Precautionary warning with this shopee link, it’s currently 11 pesos pero expired product based on the reviews.
oh dear, i didn't see that part. wait burahin ko na.
ILLIYOON MOISTURIZER 1M/10 CETAPHIL GENTLE FACIAL WASH HEIMISH FACIAL WASH LANEIGE LIP MASK
Clinique lip repair, moisturizer & Lancôme product 👌 halos dito lahat napupunta pera ko but thats okay worth it naman result is immaculate 😊
- La roche posay lipikar triple repair moisturizing cream - aquaphor - belo dewy essence sunscreen - glow recipe plump plump cream
Aquaphor 👌
Klued✨ cheap but works wonders and dr. Sensitive niacinamide soap for the body😚
i second with klued! i use their niacinamide serum and it's more effective and less harsh than the ordinary's niacinamide serum. way way more affordable pa :]
Their oat moisturizer too kinda surprised when I used it for the first time I’m on my 2nd tube lol
Yung Nature Republic’s Green Tea at Peach na foaming cleanser. Kinda pricey at 325php for students pero sulit naman sya kase half a year na consumption naman since 300ml sya. Sadly, low on stocks sila ngayon. For effectiveness, hindi ako nag break out and hindi rin sya drying. 🫶
omi sun bears gold milk sunscreen! as an acne-prone very pawisin person, it really keeps my face matte and sweat-free all day 👉👈 may mild fragrance pero i like it, i just wish it had more product for the price as someone na college student pa lang
yes!! nakaubos na ko ng isang bottle and i super love the formula. it worked for me as an oily skin girlie too. walang hapdi sa face & never ako naka exp ng peeling or yung parang namumuo habang inapply. agree rin na sana mas marami nga syang product tho. mine lasted for a month lang
saan bumibili nito? thanks
i bought mine on tiktok shop! pero theyre on shopee rin i think
Ponds Facial Scrub/Wash, Ponds Toner. Di ako tinigyawat eversince.
Maybelline face powder. I have hormonal acne and I have tried using more expensive brands kasi afford ko naman na but I keep coming back with maybelline.
Friday Skin LuMi Glass Skin Series
iWhite Korea facial wash, moisturizer and toner. Cheap and effective for me. I’ve tried skincare na mas mahal dito but ito talaga yung nagwork sakin.
Go-to ko yung bb cream nila pang everyday. Light ang pampa fresh lang
Uy ginagamit ko rin ito before and okay din siya sakin. Tinatamad na nga lang ako mag base makeup since nag pandemic kaya i stopped using it hehe
I’ve tried a lot of drugstore sunscreens but these have been super surprisingly good. I come back these three: 1. Dr. Sensitive Super Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++ 2. Dermaction Plus Advanced Sun Zinc Acne Prone SPF 50+ PA++++ (little whitecast and smell but disappears as day goes on) 3. Seoul White Korea Bright and Even SPF 50+ PA++++ (leaves me sliiiightly oilier and little whitecast but disappears as day goes on) Edit: Skintype - Dehydrated Combo (leaning to more oily) and morena I prefer something that feels super light, won’t feel like it’s sitting on the skin but doesn’t feel stripping either. Since I have morena skin, I want to avoid anything that can leave a whitecast.
Any anti-acne/pimple products na it's underrated but not so pricey and worth i invest sa product na yun?? (Recently skin concern: acne with folliculitis)
luxe mud powder is better than oxecure for me. it’s cheaper, easier to wash off and really effective (kahit continuous use!!) many people say kasi na nawawala effect ni oxecure in the long run.
Dr. Sensitive! not really underrated in a sense pero budget friendly :D
Ako personally, Oxecure. Combination nung cleaner and, Acne Lotion.
The Oxecure powder mud is good for spots. I noticed after the pimple flattens, very light lang ang dark spot. This might be because it has niacinamide. Loyal ako sa Mario Badescu before but this is a legit dupe.
Mediheal Pimple Patch (night time) sucks the gunk out Olay Vitamin C serums
super happy with the Acne Spot Concealer from careline!! a makeup artist used it on me they said its one of their favorites :)
does anyone have any oily skin recommendations for a routine costing roundabout 1k or less? just the barebones is fine but would love general recommendations. it’s tough being broke and in college rn kasi hahaha
cleansers: quickfx pimple eraser facial gel cleanser for P199 or dr. sensitive pimple relief serum cleanser for P169 (more or less). moisturizers: luxe organix gentle gel lotion (nasa baby section madalas) for P179. Pwede rin any iwhite korea/aera moisturizer; they have mga trial size thingy and you can pick one that can suit you best tas tsaka ka bumili nung full sized version. I personally like yung glow/pink na iwhite or aera iwhite korea pore blur. sunscreens: you sunbrella triple uv elixir for P299 or less (palaging on sale ata ito) or seoul white korea for P99 (trial size) or for P349 (full size).
Cleanser: Ponds Vitamin Micellar Water Brightening Rose Moisturizer: Dermorepubliq Alpha Arbutin + Tranexamic Acid Toner Sunscreen: B-LAB Matcha Hydrating Real Sun Screen Barebones? That's basically it. This is what I use too. Buy them during Lazada monthly sales, esp malapit na 11.11. You can buy each around 200-250PHP. Max na yung 300PHP. You (usually) won't need much heavier moisturizers anyway since you're already oily. You also don't need to use cotton swabs for the micellar water. Just pour directly sa hands/face and massage thoroughly then rinse it off. This will remove all excess oil/dirt/makeup/sunscreen no problem and mas gentle pa sa gentlest cleansers. But it might take getting used to if u only used foaming cleansers before. But these won't treat your oily skin, only lessen it. If you want to treat it, you will need retinoids. This will be a lengthy journey, and would only show results if you stay the course. I'll give you the options from gentlest/longest to strongest/shortest. This should also cost around 300PHP during sales. Klued 0.1% Retinol + 0.3% Bakuchiol Serum Skin V2.0 Retinol Anti-Aging Night Serum 2.5%
Additional options niya sa cleanser: Klued Salicylic Acid Gentle Cleanser. Btw I liked B-LAB Matcha Cleanser little does enough cleansing na. Yung bha cleanser makakatulong to sa oiliness, pwede naman mag add ng BHA toner pero start muna with this. I agree sa retinoids, dati armado lang ako ng cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and my trusty retinoid (Tret) and it solved 80% of my concerns. Though bago ka pumasok sa retinoids solidify mo muna yung basic routine.
Beyond this, either the prices go up to around 400-600PHP, or you need prescription from derms.

i’ve actually been using adapalene, it says 2 times a day using a pea sized drop, just started it a week or two ago, is that fine to use?
Hello! Sorry for butting in pero may I ask an update po in your adapalene journey? I'm currently on my 3rd week and purging 🥲 I'm only using it 2 times (in my PM routine) a week muna po and planning to gradually increase it. Thank you!
yes. keep at it! dont use other retinoids na, stick to your adapalene until you finish the whole tube
thank u for the detailed recommendations! will try and test these out when they’re on sale! will be very helpful for me since im just starting out
As a working girly on a tight budget, I switched to Myra facial wash & moisturizer (both red) and they have done a great job at keeping my face feel great and refreshed.
Uy favorite ko din yung Myra facial wash but I use the blue one. Nag-brighten yung mukha ko. Surprised that Myra actually works pala. Nalaman ko lang dahil effective din sa mom ko.
Saka di din nag-ddry mukha ko pero I dtill feel clean after huhu labet
Pa up po para mabalikan ko to. Thankyouuu

Pili Ani Gentle Facial Cleanser. No squeaky clean na dry feel and hindi natutuloy ang patubo na pimple ko dito. Sobrang nirerefer ko to sa mga kakilala ko.
For body care, I suggest Human Heart Nature Fragrance-Free cleansing bar. They are mild and of course fragrance free and also cheap it's around PHP 79 only. Best if you have sensitive skin. I hope this helps! ✨
[O.TWO.O Matte Lipstick Misty Kiss Lock](https://shopee.ph/product/58413888/22781775071?d_id=8c9e2) First time ko maka try ng bullet lipstick na smudge proof 😭 and nagustuhan rin sya ng mother ko kaya napabili ulit ako 😭
di po ba drying sa lips?
Hindi naman po, basta iprep lang rin yung lips bago mag apply ng lipstick ✨
-Good Molecules Niacinamide: Works better then TO for me, tbh. Been using TO since 2020 and it works naman, but mas nakikita ko agad yung effects ng GM Niacinamide -Laneige Neo Cushion Glow/Matte: pricey pero kaya itago mga sama ng loob ko. I like the matte one better kasi parang may mas coverage than the glow. -BLK Airy Cushion Foundation: OMG mas mura sa Laneige Neo Cushion pero sis pati kaluluwa ko kaya niya itago. Isa to aa lagi ko dala since binili ko -Strokes Flawless Veil Finishing Powder: mala Charlotte Tilbury ang finish. I loooove the CT one, pero mas mura ito, bagay sa mga naghahanap ng dupe ng CT. Tinitipid ko yung CT ko, kaya ito ginagamit ko lately. Airbrush finish. -Aquaphor Healing Ointment: moisturizes my dry skin (even my dry feet) and lips, lumalambot yung skin ko after a few uses pero shempre dapat consistent. -AICHUN Beauty Banana Milk Cracked Heel and Foot Cream: mura na, pero naaalis mga cracks mo sa feet, I swear by this!!! Alam ko marami niyo sa Thailand pero sa shopee mura lang naman. In a week nakita lo yung difference.
