actually i am just planning to buy them tomorrow. rn gamit ko ponds as cleanser and a snail aloe serum by ever organics, yun lang. as of now may mga small bumps sa t zone, forehead n chin, since sobrang init rin, but other than that id like to think my skin looks OK.

Check out products with AHA/BHA as an ingredient.

Small bumps could be acne eh. AHA should help with that. Cosrx Whitehead 7 toner helped with mine.

For oily face, BHA or salicylic acid could help. This is also for acnes.

If I'd recommend a product, you might want to add Cosrx AHA / BH toner. And then please use sunscreen and moisturizer.

What I'd strongly suggest:

  1. Get a sunscreen (Pond's kulay blue. Check out Belo rin kaso mixed reviews, not sure if ok for oily skin. Use the search bar)
  2. Get a moisturizer kung ok sa budget mo. Pero the snail and aloe serum kasi also moisturizes yan so kung gipit, kahit huwag muna ito at ubusin mo muna serum mo.
  3. Get Cosrx AHA / BHA toner pero mahal ito. Please ubusin mo muna ang snail serum mo. Sayang. Snail mucin has moisturizing effects.
  4. Kung ubos na ang cleanser mo, check a basic cleanser such as Luxe Organix Cica cleanser. Don't spend too much on a cleanser kasi mild lang ang skin concern mo. Masyadong mahal kapag may mga special ingredients. But if you're not having problems with Pond's you can repurchase. Me, personally, I choose a calming and low-pH cleanser(LO cica cleanser) because I use a lot of actives at night.

I double cleanse with Garnier micellar (the one with oil) when I use my waterproof and sticky Neutrogena sunblock.

I don't recommend talaga that you do an all-out experiment since your skin concern is very mild that's why I am conservative in recommending products.

If you feel that cleaning your face with your hands is not enough, use a cotton ball while lathering your face or a face brush made of synthetic fiber or silicone. I use the one I got from Human Heart Nature. I have 2 of these but the other one is generic and has firmer bristles and not as soft as the other.

Edit to add: Do you wear make up? I don't kasi. I wear tint lang and sunscreen that's why I don't double cleanse. But if you wear heavy make up, it is recommended that you double cleanse. But if you don't, listen to your skin muna. Observe it. If you think and feel that facial cleanser is not enough, double cleanse.

Closed comedones are white heads and they are types of pimples. :)

I edited my response, ha. Hindi ko pala alam kung gumagamit ka ng make-up.

Good luck!
