Cathy Valencia treatments and products(thread II)

[keyton11]

@keyton11 sis i dont powder na or anything sa face ko now. stick lang ako talaga with ther regimen. kahit peeling stage palang siya now, i must say hindi dull looking face ko even walang powder and make up. and very smooth and soft siya pag hinahawakan. sayo hows the effect?


hi sis! may konting peeling parin ako sa cheeks, sa area malapit sa ears. pumuti ka ba? kasi ako yung mga nag-peel na na parts medyo red parin, so feeling ko umitim ako. ganun din ba sa'yo? Also, nasa loob ka lang ba ng bahay naghapon? ako kasi palabas-labas eh. haha!:)
@meimei sis i tried their facial, satisfied naman ako. i availed their 50% promo the last time. worth it siya for the price para sakin. update us din with the results ha once you availed your voucher na.

[nageinna]

^yeah medyo red red parin face ko sis. but i can see the improvement naman like softer and more supple skin. yung whitening effect wala pa masyado. may refiner ka rin ba sa set mo to be used after two weeks? para saan kaya yun?

[fashionista84]

^feeling ko lang yung refiner is sort of like Obagi Exfoderm and for exfoliation din. kasi apply after 2 weeks pa from your peel eh and supposedly our skin changes every 14 days. Para siguro ma maintain yung results and makapenetrate still yung products.

Kaloka talaga that they don't give out some idea on what each products is for. Huge leap of faith on the customer's part talaga. Wala naman siguro steroids yan at least.

^yes sis start na ko with their kit on my 4th day. I used everything na except for the refiner which should be used after two weeks pa daw. Medyo nag sting na siya when i applied the liquids this evening.

AM

Mahapdi siya when I wash with the papaya soap. As in nagssting ng bongga! haha!:)

@sis fashionista84, if I may answer, yes sis, included na yung nape area sa peeling

thanks for the updates! ü sana effective talaga

[keyton11]

^^ sis wala akong refiner. baka pagbalik ko pa after 2 weeks ibibigay/irerecommend. how much yun? soft to touch na rin yung skin ko. neck is still peeling. but my face is still kinda red. so far I'm happy with what I'm seeing also sis, do you reapply sunblock in the middle of the day? 

[aleng_maganda]

Nag pa schedule na sis ko para dun sa nabili nya from ensogo na fractional, grabe october na yung schedule nila... Nakaka turn off naman ang cathy valencia for this. Isa lang daw kasi ang machine nila for fractional na iniikot sa lahat ng branch.

[nageinna]

^^pag nasa house lang ako once lang ako mag apply sunblock. When im out, yes nag rereapply ako. Sayang kasi mamaya maka affect sa result :/ happy rin ako so far with the result. Hindi na red face ko. Nanonotice ko rin may times na rosy nga cheeks ko. yung refiner sis small bottle lang siya. Siguro 20-30ml size. Parang eye drop yung itsura niya. I forgot how much siya kasi kinuha nung girl yung copy ko the last time nakalimutan ko narin kunin. You have an idea sis until when yung promo? Plan ko kasi mag hoard nung soap pag balik ko sayang rin kasi discount

[keyton11]

^when i went there kasi sabi nila until the 21st lang daw. pero sis i also wanted to hoard yung papaya soap nila pero minimum of 3 pcs before you can get the discount daw.

ako medyo pasaway, 2x lang ako nagsusunblock. morning and night. eh naarawan pa naman ako during the day.:-(

[nageinna]

^did you buy other products pa ba aside dun sa meds mo? Ako i bought their hydrawhite lotion for the body naman. Isip ko kasi mamaya hindi pantay sa body yung face. Nag whiten na ba face mo sis? Ako feeling ko in terms of whitening minimal effect lang talaga, that is kung meron man, ang result niya is more on naging glowing and healthy yung face ko.

[fashionista84]

^^magkano yung discount sa 3pcs. soap sis? haay, sana I asked a friend to buy me their products there nalang at the CV branch and have it shipped here. mas mahal pala if you buy from online sellers 

@nageinna: sis, please update us if effective din yung hydrawhite lotion even without the peel hindi rin sinabi sa bottle kung ano ingredients? ayaw ko talaga gumamit ng hydroquinone sa body.. even if 2% lang lol

[vain]

for what yung resin and cleosol ng cathy valencia?

[keyton11]

I didn't buy anything else aside from the meds they prescribed sis. I'm loving my skin na! Glowing and sarado na mga pores ko sa nose. Yeah minimal whitening but it has this bright aura

@fashionista84 Sis, I didn't ask na kung magkano eh. I'm assuming 30% off from the total din.

[fashionista84]

^waaah! can't believe I paid closed to P1,100 for 2 soaps na P195 lang pala! got super excited when I found a seller here. good to know that you're having nice results so far sis. ü are you allowed to use all of the products on your neck area? tapos na yung peeling stage?

[keyton11]

^sis yung papaya soap ba yan? 285 yata yun per piece kung walang promo eh. anong soap yung 195? yes sis, i also use the products on my neck. may konting konting peeling nalang sa neck and around the mouth area. weird nga eh, akala ko kasi tapos na yung peeling sa mouth, bigla pag gising ko kanina may peeling ulit.

question sa mga may alam, how soon can you do peeling again? haha naadik na:)

[nageinna]

^their papaya soap sis 195 siya pag promo less 30%. ako feeling ko yung meds talaga yung nagpapaganda nung skin. not sure pa if babalik ako this week for my followup check up. wala pa kasing time. update me sis pag balik mo ha.

[keyton11]

^will do sis. i'll have my facial either on wed or thur.

just had my fractional co2 and very much disapointed..you may have saved a lot from the procedure but the medication is really not justifiable..15k+ worth of creams, toners & soaps telling you that you need to apply almost 15 of those morning & night then asking you to sign a waiver if you don't buy their meds..how frustrating!! i've actually read from an article that all you need is basically cetaphil,aquaphor & sunblock during your skin's healing process..

anoter thing, they do not have post-treatment follow-up like belomed which i think is important and really shows how they care for their patients..i'm never going back to cathy valencia and hopefully others will think twice before spending a good portion of their hard-earned money in this uncaring clinic..

I feel the same sis!  with belomed they take time to text their patients the day after their treatment.  It may have nothing to do with the improvement of my skin but this little gesture counts.  With cathy valencia naman, i am so tempted to buy their meds, I'm just hesitant cause they don't put the ingredients on their labels or what each med is for.

[fashionista84]

^same here! that's why I started with the soaps lang muna cause that's the only product of theirs na may ingredient's list and available dito. I"m using a lot of brands and baka may bad reaction if I add their creams on top of that. It would really help sana if they disclosed contents, if it really is all organic yung whitening products dba?

I'm just really hesitant cause I had a friend in highschool who was using this popular cream then, and she got so fair like 3 shades lighter in 8 weeks. she kept using without knowing na may steroids pala yun kasi the box said "natural" lightener din. when she stopped cause of health concerns, her skin became so blotchy and easily sunburned/hyperpigmented na kaloka.

yung belowhite cream nga may steroids but at least they really tell you honestly to just use it for 3 weeks then take a break. pero it's also possible that the employee that someone asked from CV before just didn't know the ingredients list too that's why she just told the client "it's all organic" lol I'm sure if you really ask someone, management maybe? they might tell you kung ano contents napakabizarre na man if they would rather lose a buyer rather than give out the ingredients, and I'd be so scared of buying na din if that were to happen. medyo shady na eh

[Kim H]

I will get mine tomorrow at GH Branch. 6 session ang inavail ko, 3 for me and 3 for my hubby. Kaso c hubby umalis kanina so sayang ang 1 session nya for tomorrow na nakasched.  Got scared after I read this kaya eto super search sa internet about Co2 fractional Laser, so far okay naman... I hope maganda naman kalabasan after a week.
