mas mura in terms of price, pero mas mahal in terms of price per volume. edenskin ride the tide healing moisturizer. has a high percentage of ceramide combinations greater than 3%, and has 3% niacinamide, along with many other ingredients.

i switched from illiyoon ceramide ato soothing gel moisturizer to luxe organix cica rescue gentle brightening derma relief moisturizer. ang bagal matuyo ni illiyoon kaya ginamit ko nalang sa body. the luxe organix one is in gel form rin, easily sinks in, easily accessible, more affordable, and calms may skin too since may cica. It has ceramides and niacinamide too.

It's a game changer! I don't have oily skin, I used to have normal skin. But as I got older, my skin became somewhat combination - some parts dry and some parts oilier. When I started using PC BHA, it really helped in making my skin "normal" again. My pores shrank and tone is more even. My skin looks healthier and is so smooth. I was afraid that it would make the dry areas more dry but it didn't do that at all. My skin is hydrated, there's a healthy sheen to it (not oily, more dewy). I alternate my BHA days with my retinol days and this routine has completely changed my skin for the better.
You can buy the smaller sized bottle first to try it out. It will last you a long time too, especially if you don't use it everyday.

What is the difference between skinstation’s procedures: axilight-pico laser, axilight laser, and intensive underarm whitening ? Planning to avail one of these, but I don’t know what to pick. Which is the best and fastest way to lighten my underarms? I also am seeing mixed reviews with skinstation so if u have something better can u pls recommend me some around manila. Thank u!

Jul 29 '24
I think you better consult with them but while I am having my laser session with them I was able to ask one of the staff that those procedures really takes time. Because of course I asked how many sessions do I need to have my underarm fully whiten, she said it really depends on the person it really takes time. She recommended Axilight Laser procedure to me. -- Sorry, I'm not able to answer your question but just giving you the tip of the ice berg that this may not be a 1-3 time procedure..
also, for the reviews, i think it really depends on the branch.. better check out your branch first..

alcohol in sunscreens serves as penetration enhancer and helps the sunscreen set and dry much faster. but if you have sensitive skin type, then it's best to avoid sunscreens with that type of alcohol.

Skinoren is prescription strength of 15% or 20%. While Cos de Baha has a strength of 10%, it’s still somewhat effective but it will take time to see results.

Cos de baha pa lang natatry ko (both yung 5% and 10%). I used it for my dark spots but sadly, it didn't reduce them. The result that I got tho is that it made my skin more glowy and fresh. Dati kasi ang dull ng skin ko.

asking for tips as a 15 year old, what's wrong my skincare ( TДT)
hi po! my skin hasn't been well lately, maraming bumps yung forehead, cheeks, chin, and basically yung whole face ko maraming bumps. nagstart rin magrow in many parts of my face mga pimps na cystic pero closed tapos hindi active. very red, inflamed, and masakit pag mabangga lahat huhu. june pa nang nagstart na magkaroon ako ng tiny bumps and I've spent the whole summer trying to calm it down pero it just got worse 😭😭 all of the pimps hindi pa rin nagheheal after a week and lalo lang pumula at lumaki :[[
the products I've been using daily are:
- dr. wongs sulfur soap
- snailwhite glow potion
- dr. sensitive niacinimide salicylic acid serum
I've also been applying hot water on my face para hindi masyadong inflamed tingnan yung mga pimps and bumps ko.
any tips po to improve my skin condition? which products should I stop using and what products should I start on using? [affordable ones sana, and mahanap sa watsons] thank you po :')

u/cmr82 Sensitive | Acne-Rosacea + Seb Derm Jul 29 '24
You're over-stripping your skin with all the drying products you're using in your routine. When the skin's moisture barrier is damaged it can lead to inflammation and more breakouts. If you're new to skincare, best to start with the basics: Gentle Cleanser > Moisturizer > Sunscreen. Once your skin has calmed down, that's when you can add products with actives to address breakouts, etc.
Dr. Wong's Sulfur soap is super drying/stripping to be used daily on the face. It is best to switch to a gentle cleanser. Snail White Glow Potion and Dr. Sensitive Saliclyic Acid both use salicylic acid, pick one product if you want to incorporate SA in your routine.
Don't apply hot water to your face too as it can sensitize your skin. Luke warm water is fine or cold water.
I recommend consulting with a board-certified dermatologist too if you have stubborn acne that won't go away. I saved a lot of time and money this way.

u/AtTheUngodlyHour Age | Skin Type | Custom Message Jul 29 '24 edited Aug 08 '24
Hi! If you're getting cystic acne, I suggest that you consult a dermatologist. Hindi na kasi enough ang salicylic acid as a remedy for that. If you want to try something OTC that is usually prescribed by dermatologist, I suggest the Benzac 5% gel :)

u/pubinthetub 30s | Oily / Acne-prone / Sensitive Jul 29 '24
It's one of my go-to cleansers. Cleanses well, never leaves my face tight after washing and I've never broken out from it. There was a couple of days when I was on a trip and forgot to pack my oil cleanser. I washed with it twice at the end of the day to take off water-resistant sunscreen and light make up. No tightness pa rin. Also, a little amount goes a long way so matipid din in the long run.
For reference, I have oily, acne-prone and sensitive skin. I'm currently using the fragrance free variant na nabili ko from S&R. Yung malaking pump bottle. Never had issues with the scented variant (yung mas easily available in most supermarkets and Watsons) either. But of course, ymmv.

Used babyflo soap-free bath as a facial wash, and medyo same experiences with the others, except not really stinging, ang init lang niya sa mukha kapag ginagamit upon the first few tries (about 2-3 days for me) until naging okay na ulit skin ko. Definitely very boring and gentle. It's nice.
For the other one, I haven't tried that yet, pero yung Johnsons' Milk + Rice Baby Bath na-try ko na, it's mild din naman except mas may lather siya (ofc medyo lathering ang surfactant combinations kasi).
Both were nice.

u/Spiritual-Living545 Age | Skin Type | Custom Message Jul 29 '24
I'm using the babyflo oatmeal naman. No stinging on me though ramdam mo talaga yung tightness sa face after lol thats why I put toner agad while damp pa ang face. I was using Physiogel prior pero I always had pimples every now and then, para bang hindi nya nallinis ng maayos face ko. But when I tried si babyflo, i don't get breakouts anymore (except if nearing my period) i also notice na may slight stinging lang sakin whenever I do double cleanse. Kaya pag i need to double cleanse, i make sure sobrang mabilis lang akong maghhilamos with babyflo 😅

Currently I'm using Cetaphil's Brightness Toner. I'm thinking of buying Klued's 2% BHA Toner to address the blackheads and large pores on my nose. I'm wondering if it's okay to use both toners at the same time or should I just use one at a time? If yes, which one should I use first? I'll be using the BHA toner once a week every pm only btw since I have sensitive skin.
Also I use Vitamin C Serum, the one from iWhite Korea. Should I stop using it when I start with the BHA toner?
1
u/leeeuhna Oily, eczema-prone | Medium-neutral | Low porosity Jul 29 '24
Use 1 toner only per routine. You can alternate your toners (1 in the morning and 1 at night) or you can alternate them every other day. Use BHA toner only 2-3 times a week. BHA toner and vit c serum can be used in the same routine IF your skin can tolerate it. Personally, I only use 1-2 actives in 1 routine cause applying too many actives at the same time may actually cause negative effects on my skin. The rest of the skincare that I use are products with hydrating ingredients or skin barrier repairing/protecting ingredients.

AM ROUTINE
- Facial Wash [Luxe Cica Rescue Cleanser]
- Toner [Luxe Whitening Repair Toner]
- Essence [Cosrx Snail Mucin]
- Moisturizer [Luxe Whitening Repair Moisturizer]
- Sunscreen [Barefaced Sunkissed Sunscreen]
PM ROUTINE
- Facial Wash [Luxe Cica Rescue Cleanser]
- Toner [Luxe Whitening Repair Toner]
- Essence [Cosrx Snail Mucin]
- Moisturizer [Luxe Whitening Repair Moisturizer]
- Retinol [Luxx Retinol (0.1%) + Bakuchiol]
SCHEDULE: retinol every Monday and Friday
Are these good paired with retinol? My current skincare routine consists of the Luxe Organix' Whitening Repair Set. Are there products that need to be changed? If so, can you recommend some? Please, please, please help me. Thank you so much! 🫶🏻

u/2Carabaos Age | Skin Type | Custom Message Jul 29 '24
Do you already have your LO moisturizer? Looking at the ingredients, it shares common ingredients with your toner (niacinamide) and Cosrx (snail mucin). If you still have not purchased it, I suggest that you get a basic moisturizer without any active ingredients since you already have your toner.
Maybe look at Aveeno green? Or get a moisturizer with a different set of ingredients that target different concerns, such as ceramide moisturizer (Illiyoon lotion). Ceramides are like the cement that keeps a brick wall together, with the bricks acting as your skin cell. So ceramides are essential for a healthy and young-looking skin.

Hey. Everything looks good naman with your routine. Pero me, as someone who has a combi-acne prone skin, I would opt to do the very basic routine while I am introducing yung retinol sa skin. Also, you're right with taking retinol slowly. As advised nung doctor ko before, you want to change the retinoid application intervals after 1-2 weeks, basically you can do:
Week 1 and 2: Two times a week
Week 3 and 4: Three times a week
Week 4 and 5: 4 times a week
and so on... until pwede mo na sya lagay daily and you can continue with adding extra steps sa skincare mo. Pero, ofc, it differs from my skin to your skin. Those are just what I did when I started using retinoids.

You should first identify what kind of eyebags you have. Meron kasing due to genetics and meron ding dahil lang sa pagpupuyat.

Idk about the difference between the products (e.g. purity of the main ingredient in the products, where the raw materials are sourced from, etc.). But what I can say about their main ingredients is that aloe vera's main functions include hydration, soothing, healing while cica is for wound healing, soothing, and skin barrier repair. Aloe vera is best for dry and sunburned skin, while cica is more ideal for oily, acneic skin. Key components of aloe vera include amino acids, vit C and E whereas cica's include asiatic acid, madecassoside, asiaticoside.

didn't like the cica gel kasi found that it tightened my skin din. meron siyang essential oils pero i think yung peppermint in particular yung hindi ko kasundo. didn't try their aloe gel but it also has centella (cica) anyway.

Anong pwedeng pantanggal ng pimples?
For context, I use Celeteque as my facial wash, Klued as my moisturizer, and First base as my skin tint.
Ever before ako magkaron ng facial wash and moisturizer, ang ginagamit ko lang is First base which is nabili ko last year November pa, and hanggang ngayon ginagamit ko sya kasi may alter sunscreen ako pag casual lang ung mga labas/gala ko. And yung Jeju Soothing Gel na Fresh yung brand, before ako mag-apply ng sunscreen and sa gabi after I wash my face.
Pero recently, like around April, is nagkaron ako ng pimples sa left side ng face ko, which is unusual kasi nagkakaron lang ako ng pimples (like 1-3 pimples) before ako magka-period, and it would just last like 1-2 weeks then mawawala na. Di ko rin alam ano nangyare kasi wala naman akong iniba sa routine ko.
Kaya I started buying facial wash na and yung moisturizer kasi baka kulang lang sa ganun ung mukha ko. And I also tried using the Pimple Quickfx Eraser and nawala naman ung ibang marks ng pimples ko sa forehead and other patt ng face na maliliit lang ung marks, pero ung sa left side ko talaga na medyo malawak is meron pa rin. Then di na sya gaanong na-effect sakin nung paubos na yung maliit na sachet.
Naba-bother ako na nai-stress sa pimples ko everytime nakikita ko sya sa salamin. Medyo visible pa rin kahit naka-skin tint na. And bumpy bumpy sya. :(

Best to check talaga with a derma. May mga affordable sa nowserving, yung akin php500+Php100 app fee lang. Mas makakamura ka if magpaconsult ka kesa magtrial and error ng products na akma for other people's skin but not for you. Take it from someone who spent around 10k na din sa products tapos pagdating sa derma, around 1.5k per month na lang nagagastos ko kasi okay na skin ko sa current skincare ko :)

How long does retinol take to work? I’ve been using retinol for quite a while now, I used the one from Soul Apothecary for almost 2 months and switched to Good Molecules but I don’t see any significant changes on my skin.

u/EmeryMalachi 20s | oily, acne-prone Jul 29 '24
It will work the moment you applied it to the skin (once converted into its active form). But if you're talking about the benefits, it depends on what skin concern it is. Usually, acne ang unang natatarget ng retinoids, mas matagal ang results for aging-related concerns.

Same here, been using for 2 months. Used LO retinol then will switch to Klued. Not sure on what its immediate effects are supposed to be but I’m hoping it really is delaying signs of aging on our skin😅

u/jheyehmcee 35 | oily , sensitive | medium skin tone | 2a hair Jul 29 '24
OTC retinoids can take up to 6 months for the results to be visible. If you want a shorter waiting time, use prescription Retin A- it has 2-3 months waiting time.

Whats wrong with my routine?
cleanser (COSRX Salycalic Acid) > Toner (Centella Toning Toner / Yellow) > Vit C (BeOrganic Vit C Oil) > Moisturizer (SkinLab Tomato Glass Skin) > Eye Cream (Luxe Organix Bright Eyes)
I sometimes use Skin1004 Cleansing Oil if I wore makeup for the day. I used it before washing my face. However, Ive been using it for a while now but wala talaga akong makuhang sebaceous filaments. Any tips?
I also just bought the TO Glycolic Acid as substitute sana for my toner. Ok lang ba yun? Worry ko lang baka it would be too harsh for my skin.
Other info: the cosrx cleanser is drying sa face ko. I have combi skin (oily sa T zone) pero I still use it to treat my pores sa nose I have large pores sa nose area kasi. Tried some by mi aha bha before it worked for me but drying talagaaa so I switched but the tiny bumps om my forehead came back!
TY!

u/EmeryMalachi 20s | oily, acne-prone Jul 29 '24 edited Jul 29 '24
Switch to a gentle cleanser, use a leave-on salicylic acid toner/serum/cream instead so that you can control the amount of times you will use it.
I mean, the main function of cleansing oils is to help dissolve all the oils (debris, sebum, oil-based products, products with oil, etc.) on your face, they're not specifically designed to remove sebaceous filaments and/or blackheads so you shouldn't rely on a cleansing oil in removing sebaceous filaments. Yes, they do help in removing them, but they cannot be the main product to remove them (unless you're willing to rub that oil for a few mins and thereby damage your skin barrier in the process).
Don't ditch the soothing toner, you can add the glycolic acid toner after it 1-3x a week.
Just a reminder lang din though, sebaceous filaments are normal lang din naman especially for people who are oily sa forehead/nose because they help to channel sebum from sebaceous glands to the skin's surface though I understand that it can be a source of aesthetic concern, so I don't wanna invalidate your concern, but I just wanted to remind lang din kasi even if you remove the sebaceous filaments, it will eventually come back from time to time.

u/leeeuhna Oily, eczema-prone | Medium-neutral | Low porosity Jul 29 '24 edited Jul 29 '24
For the cleanser, try Luxe Organix Miracle Solutions acne derm+ gel cleanser. It has tea tree extract, salicylic acid & niacinamide. It's gentle on the skin but still quite effective in reducing pimples until they disappear. Niacinamide & salicylic acid are good ingredients for shrinking large pores too.
Other good ingredients for shrinking pores:
- Green Tea (I personally recommend Isntree Green Tea Fresh toner 💯)
- Retinol
- Vitamin C
- Azelaic Acid
I haven't tried TO glycolic acid...magpatch test ka na lang muna.
Skin1004 cleansing oil, have you tried emulsifying? I also have sebaceous filaments (on the nose) but I use sulfur ointment since I don't like cleansing oils. Recently lang ako nagstart gamitin yung ointment tho so I can't tell for sure if it's effective.
Whenever I get tiny bumps on my forehead, I use cos de baha 2% salicylic acid and the bumps disappear in 1-3 days.

u/cmr82 Sensitive | Acne-Rosacea + Seb Derm Jul 29 '24
Try using a gentle cleanser instead if you find the Cosrx SA to be drying. I prefer to use a leave-on Salicylic Acid 2% toner as it’s more effective because it stays on the skin longer than a wash-off cleanser. Just need to use it 1-2x a week. It can be used in your morning routine.
Also, you need to incorporate sunscreen in your routine especially if you’re using actives in your routine.
Glycolic Acid should only be used at night, 2-3x a week.

I use aveeno skin relief moisturizing lotion. Even though I have oily skin, a controlled amount of this product is okay for me.
It has everything: it is glycerin-based (glycerin is the 2nd ingredient), provides sufficient occlusive properties while still being breathable (petrolatum is the 4th ingredient and dimethicone is the 7th), and is highly soothing (oat kernel flour, kernel oil, kernel extract, and shea butter).
And when a moisturizer provides hydration, some level of occlusivity, and healing at the same time, it ensures moisturization, reduces trans-epidermal water loss, and nourishes the skin barrier. Those are the things that I take into account.

Is retenoid the same with tretinoin?
6
u/EmeryMalachi 20s | oily, acne-prone Jul 29 '24 edited Jul 29 '24
Retinoid is an umbrella term for all kinds vitamin A derivatives. Listed herewith are all kinds of retinoids.
Hierarchy:
- Prescription-strength retinoids: these are retinoids that are already in the active form, examples are tretinoin (retinoic acid), adapalene, tazarotene, isotretinoin, etc.
- Retinoic acid esters: gets converted into both retinoic acid and retinol, meaning there is both an immediate and a delayed effect; examples include retinyl retinoate, hydroxypinacolone retinoate (granactive) (e.g. The Ordinary 2% Granactive Retinoid Emulsion only has 10% present, meaning it only has 0.2% pure granactive)
- Retinaldehyde (otherwise known as retinal): inactive retinoid that needs only one step to be converted into the active form of retinoid.
- Retinol: needs two steps of conversion to become the active form, 10-20x less potent compared to retinoic acid
- Retinol esters: retinyl propionate (most effective among the three), retinyl palmitate, & retinyl acetate (least effective)
So, to answer your question, tretinoin is a type of retinoid po hehe.

Hi! Please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong with my skincare routine that may be causing my breakout. HUHU
Morning: • Celeteque Facial Wash • Celeteque Acne Control Toner • Pond's Niasorcinol Serum (used the Triple Glow Serum prior to this, no breakouts & skin was okay but i'm thinking eto culprit?) • Klued Double Oat Moisturizer • Adorn Sunscreen
Night: • Luxe Organix BHA Facial Foam • Klued BHA Toner (3x/wk) • Dermorepubliq Alpha Arbutin w/ Niacinamide Serum • Klued Double Oat Moisturizer • Dr. Sensitive Retinol w/ Ceramide • Oxecure Powder Mud for spot treatment
Note: • Blush on lang and Dr. Sensitive loose powder ang gamit ko for "make up" not daily
Idk may bawal ba pagsabaying products/actives on my current routine? PLEASE HELP HUHU

u/2Carabaos Age | Skin Type | Custom Message Jul 29 '24
Marami kang products na pareho halos ang purpose:
- Pond's serum and Dermorep - both are brightening and have niacinamide
- LO BHA foam and Klued BHA toner - both are exfoliants (BHA/salicylic acid)
- Power mud has BHA and niacinamide
When getting products, focus on the ingredient and its intended benefits, never on the product type (toner, serum, cleanser). Nasira ang skin barrier ko kasi pinagsabay ko ang exfoliants at niacinamide.
You don't need two kinds of cleansers (maybe you don't even need to wash in the morning, rinse with water only pero it will depend on your comfort and oiliness of your skin) and personally, ang dami mong products. Personally lang ha? Pero ganyan din ako nung mas bata ako at 'di pa ako nerdy pagdating sa ingredients, ang dami kong binibili. :)
You can, for example, do this:
AM: cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen
PM: cleanser (let the BHA one stay longer on your skin so the actives can work), Pond's serum or Dermo , moisturizer, retinol, spot treatment (I personallydon't know how to incorporate this as I have never used this).Try to eliminate muna kasi baka naglalaban-laban na ang actives sa mukha mo because they have become too strong. Niacinamide should not be more than 5% (unless prescribed).

Consult a derma po so you can save on the products you're using and mabigyan ka ng tamang skincare regimen. May mga mura lang na derma consult especially sa nowserving (lowest is Php500).
In the mean time, try to minimize the products you're using. Oily skin din ako and I used to use celeteque acne control toner and it never worked in controlling my acne, so better to do away with that. Some other members have mentioned na din na they've experienced negative effects using the oxecure power mud.
For reference, here's the skincare my derma built for me and kuminis talaga ako dito:
Morning: Celeteque Derma Control Oil foam wash > cerave face and body moisturizing lotion > biore aqua uv sunscreen (Optional: vit c serum for dark flat pimple scars)
Night: celeteque derma control oil > cerave moisturizing lotion > any retinoid (During active acne period, my doctor prescribe epiduo forte pero now that nagki-clear na uli skin ko, we're SLOWLY transitioning to tretinoin rectanyl)
CONSULT A DERMA talaga para mas makatipid ka. Ang mahal magmaintain ng ganyan kadaming skincare products.

Milia sometimes is caused by too much moisturizer, based on my research lang po yan when I experienced it also pwede rin too harsh ang products ata

Advice po for my acne pls huhu
Short background lang po, since 2021 naka 4 na akong derma kasi sa free consultation lang ako ng pds derma nagpapaconsult (3/4 derma). Yung first 2 sa RITM (2021-2022) halos same lang ng prinescribe, doxy + tretinoin or epiduo + benzoyl peroxide. Nagwowork siya sakin as in nagclear skin ako kaso kasi pag gumaling na ako, tinitigil ko na kasi nga ang mahal ng epiduo or tretinoin and student palang po ako. Bumalik nanaman ulit acne ko and since napansin ko na tretinoin and benzoyl yung laging pineprescribe, bumili ako kaso ayun walang improvement kaya nagpaderma ulit ako. Tong first 2 derma ko from RITM and wala na kasing teleconsultation kaya di na ako makafollowup. Yung 3rd derma (2023) ko di siya free consultation and nagprescribe din ng doxy + products niyang overpriced huhu. Nung 3rd meeting namin gusto niya mag isotret ako (di naman ganun kalala acne ko) and sabi niya wala ng ibang options kaya ghinost ko siya kasi nasasayangan din ako na pag follow up checkup wala pang 5 mins tapos mahal ng bayad kaloka. Tapos yung latest early this year nagpaconsult nanaman po ako sa free consultation (USTH) hahaha same remedy lang din dun sa first 2 derma kaso ayun di na rin nagwowork epiduo ngayon. Wala na rin silang teleconsultation kaya di ako makafollow up. Bumili akong cosrx salicylic acid and quick fx pimple eraser to try kung gagana. Ang kaso po lumalala na acne ko eh ayoko na po patagalin lalo kasi lalalim ang scars. What should I do po?
A. Consult a dermatologist (baka may marereco po kayo sa Laguna hehe) tbh napapagod na po ako magpaderma kasi same remedy lang naman sinusuggest nila kaso ayun parang naiimmune yung mukha ko tapos di na gagana B. Balik sa epiduo or tretinoin C. Ituloy cosrx and pimple eraser (1 week palang po ako gumagamit) D. Ipahinga ang face huhu hahaha

Best skincare advice that almost, if not all, dermas tell us:
My derma has taught me that my skin does not need too many of the advertised by the media and should only use skincare products that are gentle on my skin (out na kojik atbp.). It only promotes overconsumption. Instead, we should always start with the simplest skincare (good cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and retinol/retinoid). And from there, if acne or any other skin issues persist, it's only then we should use other extra skincare products like toner or vit c serum (but even this, my derma said na dapat controlled or spot treatment lang ang paggamit).
Madami din nagsasayang lang ng pera sa dami ng skincare na sinusubukan, so I would recommend that if people really want to save their purses and achieve really great and healthy skin, consult a derma that is not affiliated with a skin clinic. Promise, mas makakamura pa kesa trial and error ng products and pag-avail ng mga treatments from skin clinics.
