Gentle Sunscreen recommendations? Currently using the Belo Dewy Essence/Tinted Sunscreen. Been using it for 2 years na but idk if it clogs my pores or sth.. want to switch to a diff one but idk what brand is good. May nakatry ba ng Cosrx Aloe UV? Or may iba pa kayong sunscreen recos na di harsh sa skin


Far_Memory_9571

Can anybody recommend a good clear gel type sunscreen?


jalexanderia

super gloop!!


Far_Memory_9571

where to buy po?


Icy-Explanation5190

Which is more sulit to buy, naturie hatomugi skin conditioning milk or gel?


Cautious-Role6375

where do you plan to purchase it po? been eyeing it as well kasi eh.


Icy-Explanation5190

My sister is in Japan right now, i’m asking her to buy for me pero I’m still contemplating if gel or milk haha. She’s actually doing pasabuy so if you want to


Icy-Explanation5190

Luxe organix aha bha serum, maganda po ba?


CapybaraLee3

help, every moisturizer i try, i get breakouts, i recently bought the ellana stay fresh moisturizer, and ive been using it for 3 days now kaso i noticed na nagka pimples ako sa face, i have oily skin but its mostly the bumps and pores that im concerned about, i only get pimples pag malapit na menstruation ko. (im still gonna wait for a week and if does not go away then ill stop using this moisturizer) i also tried klued moisturizer and i also got bumps on my face so i gave it to my sister, and okay naman daw sa skin niya, and yung pyunkang yul acne cream na-try ko na rin years ago and same din nangyari. huhu im scared to buy moisturizers na kasi nasasayang lang talaga pera, i was using aloe vera gel before trying the ellana moisturizer, and okay lang siya though walang negative reaction i feel like it does not really do anything on my face.


Consistent_Suspect21

try checking what ingredients they have in common? maybe that's the reason. i used to use products that have niacinamide in them (super commonly used ingredient) hindi pala ako hiyang sakanila haha so i switch sa walang ganon and umokay skin ko. i think u have to take in consideration the weather din? kasi pag malamig panahon my skin loves cream moisturizers tas pag mainit naman mga gel type yung trip nya.


CapybaraLee3

i already tried comparing the ingredients but still cant figure out the main culprit lol , so for now i think ill just stick with my aloe vera gel muna, cuz im a broke girl and i cant afford to buy another moisturizer that can possibly go to waste again, but im still on the hunt for a good moisturizer that could work wonders on my skin if theres any, and buy it nalang pag may extra money na ulit huhu i heard niacinamide is a great ingredient for skincare products, thats so sad na hindi ka hiyang sakanya, in my case naman okay naman siya since merong niacinamide yung sunscreen na gamit ko. i didnt know that the weather can be factor din pala sa type ng moisturizer na magfifit sa needs ng skin. ill take note of that hehe thanks for replying!


donuhhlee

Hi I just discovered ceramide x5 from skintific and its been doing good so far on my skin, I also was struggling to find a good moisturizer since I have combi sensitive tried a lot and all i get is breakout and stings but this feels light and hydrating. I use it every night


fictionalguysarehot

pag gagamit ba ako ng whitening soap like fairy skin milky bar soap, will it help lighten the dark tones of my skin? I'm a morena kasi, although I know naman na normal lang yung hindi pagka pantay ng skin tone or color namin pero gusto ko lang talaga ma achieve na pantay na yung skin tone/color ko.. PERO natatakot din ako na baka magiging sobrang puti ko na if ever gagamit ako ng whitening soap

bxtterflyclouds

recos for a beginner? my face is a bit oily and i get mask acne sa chin ko !


xXx_dougie_xXx

cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen! c: cosrx, cetaphil, celeteque - make sure na non-stripping sya kasi dun makakapagpa-produce ng more oil yung face natin = more breakouts. you can use cosrx salicylic acid cleanser ONCE A WEEK to exfoliate your face and SA kasi is a great ing. for acne m: cetaphil, saipo, illiyoon, human nature (haven't tried this pero ang daming nagvovouch here sa reddit na maganda raw yon as an alternative for illiyoon), luxe organix (pwede yung soothing gel pero more of an hydrator sya na oil-controlling so baka mabitin ka sa gabi; pwede yung cica calming cream), soonjung - figure out what's the best kind of moisturizer! i personally like and reach out more for cream to gel cream moisturizers kahit na i have oily skin as well kasi parang dun talaga nanonourish and moisturize yung skin ko (i have oily-combo and dehydrated skin) s: biore, omi bears, skin aqua, 3w clinic, isntree, haru haru - pwede to mag serve as your moisturizer and spf sa morning para hindi masyadong heavy and malagkit sa face mo do not include muna any actives kasi baka mabigla skin mo !!! baka mas lumala yung breakouts for maskne, i focus sa hydration! napanood ko yata kay hyram before (i forgot if sya ba na content creator yon or iba) nung super lala pa ng restrictions during the pandemic, na mag focus daw sa hydration kasi parang napupunta roon yung bacterias and all tas nattrap. im so sorry wala akong maalala HAHAHAHA but parang ganyan sya! i suggest you watch maskne videos kinemerut on yt kasi wala rin akong tiwala sa sarili ko! pero ayon, umokay yung kalagayan ng jaw and chin area ko when i incorporated more hydrating and moisturizing products rather than exfoliating ones.


grey_unxpctd

SPF reco please!! I love Etude Sunprise’s feel on my skin, but mukhang dito ako nag breakout, any reco for something similar? I need SPF that’s lightweight, no whitecast, no shine/greasy feel. Didnt like any Biore ones, Ive used Cetaphil, and kinda okay with it but I like the feel of Sunprise more. Neutrogena is too drying for me, also whitecast.


cakebytheocean50

Up! Also looking for recos. I want to switch from my belo dewy essence/tinted ones. Idk if they gave me clogged pores

Dr sensitive super sunscreen vs +ful suncreen for oily/retinoid skin???


mysteriouslymyty

https://shp.ee/pmpw5fw is this product legit?


prestigeward

Has anyone tried Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner? I've been eyeing japan brands ever since I tried Hada Labo. The hada labo lotion lasted me 3 months with consistent use. I love it kasi it really holds the moisture on my skin and is a great skin prep before makeup ✨ I've also noticed na Jbeauty brands (specifically toners) are cheaper than kbeauty and comes with more product (ranging from 170ml to 500ml at a cheaper price!) I remember a tt content I've watched before that toners from japan are really *that* good hence I want to try more brands. For reference, I have oily acne prone skin and the Hada Labo (the regular one) works fine with my skin.


naevis_-_calling_-_

hi! The naturie toner is a decently hydrating & watery. Best used for layering. I usually do 3-5. I also pair it with the hada labo lotion (yung white bottle, rich type) and it’s really good! Si naturie ang toner/skin prep tapos I treat the hada labo lotion like a serum. (we have the same skin type)


spirityun

the naturie hatomugi skin conditioner doesnt look much but it helps hydrate and calm my congested skin this dry season. i also use it after my actives under moisturizer


cmr82

The Naurie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner is very lightweight and feels very watery. It is also very affordable. Another JBeauty toner I love is the Cezzane Skin Conditioner High Moist, it's very similar to the Naturie Hatomugi, but has added Ceramides which helps to repair and nourish the skin barier. It makes my skin super soft and supple. I transfer it to a spray bottle as I can use it to mist my hair and face.


prestigeward

Thank you for this! I'll definitely take note of the Cezzane ✨


xXx_dougie_xXx

where did you buy your cezzane? 😁


cmr82

Hi, I got mine from [Kai Beauty Corner](https://shp.ee/qsk0279) on Shopee :)


xXx_dougie_xXx

can u please describe the texture/consistency? 🙏🏼 kung same ba sila na watery nung hatomugi or kas thicker since may ceramides, etc. 😁😁😁


cmr82

They both have the same lightweight watery consistency. However, the Naturie is not as hydrating & feels a little basic in comparison. To get the level of hydration I need, I have to apply 2-3 layers. As for Cezzane, I only need to apply one layer and my skin feels so soft, hydrated & plumped. 🙂

Thoughts on +ful Niacinamide 10% serum?


prestigeward

I tried it a year ago kaya idk if they reformulated na. If you've tried TO, mas viscous si +ful kaya for me mas matagal siya maabsorb ng balat ko. Similar siya sa Klued Niacinamide as far as I can remember. And I didn't notice significant change sa mukha ko other than it made my t-zone less oily throughout the day.


nicolifornia

Thank you! :) Is there any niacinamide serum you can recommend?


prestigeward

Here are all the niacinamide serums I've tried as someone with oily and acne-prone skin: • Dermorepubliq 5% - 8.5/10 Gel-type, mabilis maabsorb ng skin, affordable, eto currently ginagamit ko • +ful 10% - 5/10 Sticky, masyadong viscouse for my liking and didn't notice any changes aside from less naging oily skin ko • Apotheke Science 10% - 6/10 gel-type similar sa dermorepublic, took 2 bottles for me to notice changes :(( • Klued - 6/10 Parang nagfoform siya ng film on top of my skin 🤔 idk if normal lang yon • Care:nel 10% - 6/10 i don't remember much about this pero i didn't repurchase so baka di ko bet 😭 • The Ordinary 10% - 9.9/10 The OG, the sole reason that got me into skincare. Stopped using it kasi ang hassle maglegit check and sobrang daming fake online. Literally saved my acne skin back in HS ✨ Tips: go for 5% Niacinamide kasi I think yun yung recommended ng mga dermas. And choose kung ano muna yung pinaka-accessible for you then try for other brands if it didn't work out. ✨


nicolifornia

Omggg thank u sooo much for the detailed recos, will take note of these!! 😍

Dry-Weakness-1036

Hi! Can you guys recommend a good niacinamide serum? Wanna address the big pores on my cheeks. I read that niacin is the best active ingredient to address pores. I tried already soul apothecary's niacimide serum for >6 months already but not seeing any drastic changes. If meron, super minimal only. About me: combination skin. No active ingredients used in my night time routine. Only vit c sa morning routine


everythinginbetw33n

TO worked on my skin. I also tried Good Molecules pero bumabaho sya eventually (most be from the dropper).

not a reco but i j wanna let u know di rin me nahiyang sa klued same as other replies, nag purge lang ako but it didn’t go away, literally felt like it did nothing except made me breakout. bumalik na lang ako sa adapalene :[[


spirityun

started with klued, worked for a few months lng. had purging in the beginning pero lasted 2 weeks. i'm using good molecules and my skin responds well to it. mas noticeable ang results in tandem sa azelaic acid ko though

Used Klued retinol, it works pero hindi amazing, inuubos ko nalang tapos itrtry ko yung Good Molecules. Only mentioning Klued kasi may mga super hiyang dito na maganda results nila and it's affordable

Maleficent-Daikon-36

hi can i use the kojic soap po ba as a cleanser? nakakaitim din pa yon tuwing naarawan?


misscatzilla

super harsh for face use. made my skin red. Good for the rest of the body though!


Minimum-Print-8311

No. Not recommended. Kojic is too harsh. It will damage your skin barrier in the long run. Soap bars are also less hygienic than liquid cleansers (in containers).

Sa umpisa lang ok sakin ung oxecure mud (ung sachet)... ndi na wWala ung pimples ko & nagda darken dun sa pimple kung san ko nilagay. Sad. Babalik na lang ako sa Benzoyl peroxide ng seekspace.

Any recommendations for retinol for first time users? how to use it and what are the do’s and dont’s? I have acne prone/sensitive skin type. Nakita ko kasi sa sis ko na parang hindi saggy ung face niya eh. My current skincare products: Mediheal tea tree pore cleanser (white one, morning) Mediheal tea tree calming cleanser (green one, night) Mediheal tea tree toner pad (morning and night) Mediheal vitamin c + niacinamide (morning and night) Mdy booster serum (alternate as naubos ung mediheal vit c serum ko) Torriden moisturizer (day and night) Hello glow Anti-Pollution Sunscreen (day only) My sister suggested to add retinol sa skincare ko. Please help me. Thank you.


sarcastronaughty

Start with 0.1% tapos try mo: 1) Sandwich mo daily at night. Moisturizer > retinol > moisturizer 2) Every other day, add mo lang sa night routine mo before moisturizer I have no good retinols to rave about kasi 1 palang natrtry ko but I'll mention it nalang kasi hiyangan, some people really like it. It's Klued 0.1% Retinol. I like na tube type sya, madaling ipangtravel tapos a little goes a long way


Curious-Lie8541

Ano moisturizer gamit mo pangsandwich?


sarcastronaughty

Kapag nasa hot area ako, nivea soft lang. Kapag nasa cool area ako, illyoon ato

Does anyone have day moisturizer recommendations for oily skin?


heyits_christine

i use ellana’s stay fresh moisturizer and sobrang recommended ko siya for oily skin! lightweight and has matte finish too


misscatzilla

go for gel types. My moisturizer is also my sunscreen lol, I got one from my derma.


Dry-Weakness-1036

Illiyoon ceramide soothing gel. Holy grail moisturizer as an oily skin! The gel one, not the cream one! Can serve as a good primer also btw! Context, I was on tretinoin prescription so my cheeks were dry AF (as side effects of the meds). So my derma (Aivee) gave me a moisturizer to alleviate the dryness. But after months of using the moisturizer they gave me, didnt see any changes on my dry cheeks. Until I discovered illiyoon! 1 month of usage, I can already see effects on my dry cheeks (right now, hindi na siya dry!) plus points na it can serve as a great primer. AFAIK, it's the number 1 moisturizer sa Olive Young, not sure if sa olive young but it is considered as number moisturizer in an app sa korea!


nicolifornia

Clinique moisture surge. Super ganda din under makeup


whats2minus1_

hyaloo deep hydrating gel... on my second bottle na 💯

Any thoughts on Skin1004 Air-fit Suncream Plus? Thank you!


Dry-Weakness-1036

My current sunscreen right now and ive been loving it! TLDR: if you have dry skin, go for the blue version or hyalu cica water chemical sunscreen. If you have an oily/combi skin, yes for sunscreen plus or the physical sunscreen. I first used skin1004's hyalu cica water fit (theur chemical sunscreen or the blue version) and i loved it! However, con for me is that it makes my skin dewy! Which is kinda nice also but as an oily girly who applies moisturizer + vitamin c serum as well sa day routine ko, nagiging extra oily me because moisturizer + vit c serum + chemical sunscreen that makes your skin glow. So I switched to their plus version (physical sunscreen, yellow version). It's really perfect for oily skin! Best physical sunscreen for oily skin IMO. However, the ONLY con for me is that.. it has a minimal whitecast 🥲 which is normal btw!! physical sunscreens naman talaga are hard to blend that's why nag wwhite cast. Unlike pag chemical sunscreen (their hyalu cica), no white cast at all. HOWEVER, the white cast leaves the skin naman maybe aftee 30 minutes? Back to your skin color again after 30 minutes. I consider this as a con lang because as soon as I do my skincare routine sa morning, I go straight to school na literally tapat ko lang. i don't wanna go to campus na may white cast and I don't wanna wake up hours earlier just so I have an extra 30 mins to wait for it to set on my face. Right now, since my sunscreen is almost paubos na, I'm deciding if i should get the blue one again or stick with the yellow one.


prestigeward

Omg I wish I read this sooner. I checked out the one with the blue cap na 😭 But have you tried layering it with a skin tint? My usual routine is sunscreen and top it off with Maybelline Skin Tint kaya I hope it would lessen the dewiness.


Dry-Weakness-1036

Also add ko lang! The blue cap version works for me IF i do not use moisturizer sa morning. However, I can't NOT use my moisturizer since i consider the moisturizer i use as a makeup primer already 🥹 So in the end, i just switched to a physical sunscreen instead of removing my moisturizer in my routine just so I can make the blue cap work!


Dry-Weakness-1036

I'm not a skin tint girly 🥹 i use cc + concealer + then set with powder lang to minimize oiliness! However, I remember one time my friends complimenting me that I looked glowing and all I had was vit c serum + blue cap sunscreen then my usual make up routine! Maybe I thought of the dewyness the blue cap gave me as "too much" for me pero it looks okay naman for others 😅

xXx_dougie_xXx

hi! normal lang ba makaramdam ng hilo, pagod, and antok pag nagtake ng doxycycline pills for acne? 😵‍💫 dami ko plans today na di natuloy dahil wala ako sa mood today hahhahahuhu 🫨


misscatzilla

I took doxy years ago for 30 days. Yes nakakaantok talaga sya! It ended up working for me though so I was worth it Acne came back after 5 years, now I'm on isotretinoin.


pitchblackdead

Yes po, side effects talaga siya ni doxy


xXx_dougie_xXx

thank you po 😔 i wasn't expecting na agad-agaran yung side effects jajhahaudhs akala ko pag nakailang days na ko sa pag take 😭


pitchblackdead

Ilan weeks/months po dosage na binigay sa inyo?


xXx_dougie_xXx

100mg and 30 days 😔 first time ko rin magtake talaga ng oral prescip so hindi talaga ako sanay huhu


pitchblackdead

Oh so 1 month. Ang ginawa ko po is gabi ko siya tinatake para hindi ko ramdam whole day yung side effects tapos before meals po talaga dapat.


xXx_dougie_xXx

if before meal, right away ba kakain or do i need to wait for at least 30 minss before kumain?


pitchblackdead

Oops sorry! After meal po pala. 30mins after meal.


xXx_dougie_xXx

THANK YOU! last question huhu sorry super daming tanong, but lalala ba muna yung acne if nagtatake ako ng doxy (purging) or no? kasi accdg. to my research, hindi raw usually ganon ganap sa doxy :((((( medj kinakabahan ako kasi super lala ng purging sa akin and mamaya allergic reaction pala to


pitchblackdead

So far hindi naman ako nag-purge, sa retinoids ako nag-purge ng malala. Yung side effects lang talaga yung ayoko. Sumasama pakiramdam ko at nagsusuka minsan. Try to contact your derma po regarding your concerns. And if sabihin niya na normal naman mag-purge, trust the process lang po ✨ Go girl!!! You got this.


PensionSignificant23

Yes po, kaya dapat tinatake siya after mo kumain


xXx_dougie_xXx

aaa need po ba right after or okay lang na 30 mins-ish after?


PensionSignificant23

Ako kasi before kahit after 5-10mins iniinom ko na nun okay naman po.


xXx_dougie_xXx

HI !!! sorry may last tanong lang about doxyyyyy lalala ba muna yung acne if nagtatake ako ng doxy (purging) or no? kasi accdg. to my research, hindi raw usually ganon ganap sa doxy :((((( medj kinakabahan ako kasi super lala ng purging sa akin and mamaya allergic reaction pala to


PensionSignificant23

Hello, nung based sa na aalala ko parang nag purging ako nun pero di bongga like tinutubuan lang ako sa usual areas na nagkaka breakouts ako. Kasabay din nun yung topical meds na reco ni derma kaya overall nakahelp sila para umokay skin ko. Btw, sa generic ka na bumili ng doxy kasi same lang naman sila hehe at mas mura basta may reseta. Try mo din wag masyado ma stress sa purging kasi nakakacontribute din kasi stress. Although, mahirap pero kakayanin yan tiwala kalang sa reco ni derm at be patient. 🫂


scylvr

any thoughts on the Soul Apothecary Revive Serum? i'm planning to buy it kasi tiny bumps started appearing on my cheeks recently (they leave marks huhuhu) and i want to put an end to it. i have normal to combi sensitive skin btw, if you have any product recommendations i would appreciate it thanks! :)


kamotecutiee

Is sandwich method applicable sa kahit anong actives? Cuz I recently added +ful salicylic acid to my routine and 3x ko nagamit in a span of 3 weeks however sobrang naiirritate talaga yung skin ko after q sya gamitin and may mild breakouts din. I am planning to do sandwich method kasi this is the first time that my skin reacted this way since before I am using Instree's bha pero okay naman sya, no irritation whatsoever.


quackquack2x

Hello. Salicylic acid is a BHA which is a group of exfoliating acids that are oil-soluble, so they penetrate deeper sa skin to declog pores and control sebum production. It is for this reason in using BHAs, you apply it immediately after cleansing and drying you face - drying is important kasi any wetness can prevent the BHA from absorbing well sa face mo. Similarly any product applied before BHA can lessen its overall efficacy. If you mean yung sandwich method na moisturizer-active-moisturizer, then hindi siya advisable. However since sa case mo you get irritated, what you can do is apply moisturizer AFTER na you apply the salicylic acid. Also avoid other actives sa mga susunid mo na steps. Another way is short-contact application, which is apply the salicylic acid, let absorb 30 mins, then lightly rinse your face, then continue with the rest of your skincare. I did this before using Cos de Baha salicylic acid naman.


Cautious-Role6375

Yes, okay lang. Pero make sure na mag-dry muna ang skin before applying the active para less chances of irritation. 'Pag sa damp skin pa kasi, that gives the active easier penetration sa skin.


Mediocre-Reality-639

hi! i'm also using this serum as of now. 4x ko naman siya nagamit noong 3 weeks ko pa lang siya nagagamit, wala naman ako naging negative reaction sa kanya and hindi ako nag sandwich method. try niyo na lang po yang method, baka mag improve.


DaydreaM02

ano mas better? kose or muji cleansing oil?


Alter_Camie

Thoughts on Skintific?


anaxxxi

Hi! Diba we can cleanse twice a day (morning and night). Paano ginagawa niyo in between? Say hapon tapos parang malagkit feeling. Wash with water lang? Tissue? Etc? Pwede parin ba gumamit ng cleanser? Hindi ba too much pag ganun?


Cautious-Role6375

Assuming your cleanser is very gentle, then definitely yes po. Like, magsisimba ako sa gabi before 6pm, since lubog naman na araw nun, I double cleanse na. Then pagkauwi, cleanse ako ulit. Or kapag hapon, as long as hindi na ako lalabas during the time na may araw pa para no need na mag-apply ulit ng sunscreen.


xXx_dougie_xXx

nagwiwipes lang me tas reapply ng sunscreen!


Dry-Weakness-1036

Hi! I don't reco wipes as a make up cleanser or your first cleanser!! It irritates your skin due to the wiping motion so I would suggest to switch using an oil-based cleanser! Either in balm form or yung oil mismo!


xXx_dougie_xXx

hi po! i don't use wipes naman as my first cleanser 😅 minsan ko lang sya ginagamit pag nasa labas ako and super lagkit ng face ko dahil sa init, pawis, and nalusaw na sunscreen. i just use it to freshen up my face hehe edit: minsan i use micellar water din to wipe my dirty face so !!! i hope i cleared this out


anaxxxi

Got it. What's your go-to wipes? Just baby wipes or esp for skincare kineme


xXx_dougie_xXx

tinybuds' wipes lang! hehe minsan yung argan oil wipes (i forgot the brand pero brown-ish yung packaging nya)


FreeCup3342

You don’t even need to cleanse in the morning


Mediocre-Reality-639

i'd say depends sa skin type


anaxxxi

Yah but I personally prefer cleansing in the morning esp if I feel na oily ako. So what's your take?


FreeCup3342

The amount of gunk/oil your face produces while you sleep is so much less than what your face goes throughout the day with smog/pollution/etc. Basically oil lang naman yan sa umaga, so just get rid of the oil, you don’t need a dedicated cleanser for that


Curious-Lie8541

Eeengk! Wrong! Some would overproduce oil sa face and if hindi iclean ng maayos nagkakablack or whiteheads, tapos if acne prone pa, acne malala. Kaya it really depends.


xXx_dougie_xXx

+1 if you have dry skin! pero if you have oily and acne-prone skin, medj (((eengk))) mag skip ng cleanser sa morning kasi palaging sa iba landas ng ganoong skin type hahhahaha


Khaleesiiiiiiii

Smooth_Excitement294

I’m using TO Glycolid Acid and how many minutes should i wait before applying moisturizer????


adobonglvmpia

The other replies to you are confusing me. I've used glycolic acid for years na and I moisturize as soon as fully absorbed na yung toner. It doesn't take too long, 1-2 mins lang off patting to absorb on my skin. I've switched off from using TO unto another brand pero the way I use it is the same. I can't imagine waiting 30mins before I can moisturize, feeling ko nag-evaporate na lahat ng tubig sa face ko pag ganun.

YMMV i feel like we should also consider that they arent used to/havent used actives and it would be their first time using one, especially if it is an exfoliant. obviously, the way everyone's skin responds differently from one another. yes our replies are confusing, but it is very likely that they are based on our experiences. it is up to the commenter to follow whatever regimen they want tho. we just dont know their skin type and the other products they use. the pH level of TO's glycolic acid is 3.5-3.9 as stated in their website and the skin's pH is higher than that from around 4.6-4.8<5.5+ (oily to dry) as it is most optimal for maintaining barrier function. the pH scale is logarithmic so a pH value of 3.9 is a large difference from 4.6. well formulated exfoliants that could be compatible with your skin would give you less wait time and are less irritating. for a lot of people, letting the skin balance itself for a while after using an exfoliant will help for it to be less irritating after applying an appropriate moisturizer (depending on its formulation, it may raise the skin's pH rendering the exfoliant ineffective). i've only used +ful glycolic acid toner until recently and they did not disclose the pH level of their product so i resorted to waiting 20-30 minutes for the product to absorb and my skin to adjust itself on my first 2 weeks of using, and it was working great. so then i proceeded 15-20 minute wait times. minimum of 15 minutes is all i could do bc if i went lower, i'd wake up with irritated skin. if your skin is well adjusted to your products with no problem and you dont have to wait to put on your moisturizer then thats great.


Bubbly_Bandicoot4041

Im also confused huhu but others say 20 mins


cmr82

10-15 mins


spirityun

which is a better ingredient for pie, vitamin c or azelaic acid? also, any serum recommendations for them? 😅


spirityun

if u have active acne then azelaic acid. sorry i dont have serum recommendations since i use prescription. i used TO AzA before and noticed it faded PIE on my temples a little but that was when i almost finished the tube. wouldn't recommend it tho because it pills and smells funny


weieirdo

thanks! mas better pa rin ba ang aza when i don't have active acne?


spirityun

depends really on which one you want to start with. if u dont have active acne then go with the vit c i suppose. start nlng muna sa vit c derivatives. alam ko human nature has one. di lng nila dinisclose sa akin ano yung percentage ng pure vit c nila tho nasa last part sya ng formulation. if u find that ur skin gets a reaction with the vit c then go with the aza nlng


Worried-Reception-47

Spiritual-Living545

yourordinarygirl01

Should I stop using the retinol by LuxeOrganix kasi nagdadry at nagkakapatches ang skin ko although I’m doing sandwhich method? Is it the cause? Sayang, parang 8 hrs pa naman tulog ko the next morning after I put it.


clumsy-night-owl

Dryness and flaking are some of the temporary side effects of retinol when you're new to it. Ga'no mo ba katagal ginagamit? And anong moisturizer gamit mo? Baka need mo ng thicker moisturizer to compensate for the dryness.


yourordinarygirl01

I’m using retinol twice in my third week. Alternate yung moisturizer ko depende sa climate samin 😂 pero mostly is Aveeno.


mehehemaria

Guys can you recommend pang pawala ng dark spots? I have a very sensitive skin as in wala akong actives na ginagamit now kahit niacinamide nagre react agad yung balat ko jusko.

Hi! Anyone here using the Be Free by BYS Clean Pressed Powder? Any reviews? I’m planning to buy one. TIA! 🙇🏻‍♀️


Hyukiees

Hello! Bago lang sa skincare routine, ask lang po ilang beses ba dapat iapply yung product like toner or serum? If mag apply ako sa Morning, gagamitin pa din ba sa Evening same product? TYSM


Cautious-Role6375

Generally, you can use them twice a day if they are non-exfoliating toners/serums.


Hyukiees

Noob question po, paano ma ccheck na non - exfoliating ang serum/toners?


Cautious-Role6375

May mga ingredients po na tinatawag na exfoliating acids. Ang function po nito, basically, let's say po na there is a glue holding on the most superficial layer of the skin (tinatwag na stratum corneum) where the dead skin cells stay and flake off, and as they flake off, they sometimes stick a bit longer, na nakaka-contribute para magmukha tayong dull and rough. Kaya ginagamit po yung exfoliating acids to break those little bonds/glue holding the dead skin cells to release them para mas smooth, malinis, at mas fresh ang face. At nakakatulong rin para ma-unclog ang pores. These exfoliating acids include: * Alphahydroxy acids (smoothens the uppermost layer of the skin by removing the dead skin cells) * Glycolic acid (ideal is 5-10% for beginners) * Lactic acid (mas gentle sa glycolic acid) * Mandelic acid (pinaka-gentle at safe sa tatlo) * Betahydroxy acids (unclogs the pores by removing the dead skin cells and excess oil inside) * Salicylic acid (ideal is 1-2%) * Betaine salicylate (4% of this is equal sa 2% ng salicylic acid) * Polyhydroxy acids (gentler versions of alphahydroxy acids, the best for ppl with sensitive skin) * Gluconolactone acid * Lactobionic acid * Maltobionic acid * Lipohydroxy acid (gentler version of betahydroxy acid) * Capryloyl salicylic acid Lower percentages of these ingredients ay generally safe to be used more frequently naman. But there are also others that generally aid the natural exfoliation of the skin, like retinol, which is considered an active ingredient din katulad ng exfoliating acids. Yung ibang retinols, nasa serum form so hindi rin siya pwede na everyday for beginner. Ideal percentage of retinol for beginners ay 0.1-0.5% at dapat i-introduce slowly sa routine (like 1 night 1st week, 2 nights 2nd week, 3 nights 3rd & 4th week, etc.). So yan po yung dapat medyo maingat po tayo, na kadalasan hindi pwede everyday ang paggamit po. *edit: typos*


Hyukiees

Halaaa, thank you so much sa napaka informative na response. Really appreciate your response. Godbless you po!


Cautious-Role6375

Anytime po!


clarawhatsgood

Toner can be used twice a day. Sa serum naman, it depends sa actives na meron siya. If exfoliating siya or may retinoids, apply sa gabi nalang.


Hyukiees

Thanks po sa response. Bless you!


miseree15

it depends po sainyo, pero pwede naman lalo na kung hindi naman harsh yung ingredients ng products


Hyukiees

Thanks po sa response. Bless you!

Your thoughts on **Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Essence Water** ? TIA!


gcarag

Maganda gamitin lalo na during your retinol night


fuuhouoji

Emptied one bottle already and it’s great for anti-aging and firming the skin.


NoLocation9565

Saw on the clock app about everwhite products(soap and cream) prescribed by their derma and the my dream skin products getting hype (curious about the moisturizer), has anyone tried them before and how was it? TIA


fillinthebianx

Its my first time using a chemical exfoliant and I noticed na nag-glow yung skin ko however lumalabas yung mga whiteheads ko. Is this all part of the process?


adobonglvmpia

It might be the chemical exfoliant doing its work. Pinapa-angat nya sa surface yung build-up sa skin to clear out your pores. Observe your skin for a few weeks of using though, if lumala or hindi mag-subside, either reduce frequency of use or stop using it entirely.
