It’s so easy to be lured into buying the latest beauty products. Some simply love stocking their dresser with attractively packaged products, while some are taken in by promises of putting an end to various skin problems. But are you even sure these creams are remedies are hiyang to your skin? Stop being a beauty junkie and start reading the fine print—especially when it comes to your daily moisturizer.
Make it a habit to read what’s printed on the bottle, packaging, and product insert before you decide to purchase a particular brand of moisturizer. Always look for words like hypoallergenic, alcohol-free, or fragrance-free. These terms mean that the product won’t give you any allergic reactions since it has been clinically tested and stripped off any damaging add-ons. Just think, this product will be on your face day and night—of course you want it completely safe.
Pick out a moisturizer that’s well-formulated for your skin type and needs. This is most essential for those with sensitive skin that have the tendency to react negatively to new products. The only way to find out what moisturizer works for you is to try it, of course. Ask for samples from the counter so you can subject it to a trial period, then do a patch test on a small part of your face. Any sign of redness, blotching, or itching should tell you to ditch it and switch to a milder formulation .
What to try: Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion (P2,400) is meant for those who have sensitive skin because it’s hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and specifically formulated for Asian skin. You can be sure your skin is hydrated and becomes healthier-looking without any of the irritating effects.
All Clinique products are Allergy Tested. Allergy Tested means they have been clinically tested by a medical research organization, under the supervision of dermatologists. Using repeat-insult tests, 7,200 applications of a product are applied under closed patches on 600 people. If anyone in the test group demonstrates allergic contact dermatitis, the Clinique product is not released for manufacture. Additionally because fragrance is the most common cause of sensitivities and allergic reaction, Clinique products are 100% Fragrance Free.

Clinique is available at Clinique counters in Rustan’s Department Stores nationwide.
