Anti-Aging Tips and Products

[rae]

@too blind, we have a separate thread on tretinoin too. Anyway here goes:

Retin A 20g = 570php
Retacnyl 0.05% 30g = 650+ php
Retacnyl 0.025% 30g = 600+php
Stieva A 0.025% 25g = 500+
Stieva A 0.05% 25g =  470+
Stieva A 0.1%  25g =  490php

It will last 4 to 6 months (or more, depending on usage)

I also tried NUskin products, but nagbreak-out ako. sabi nga nila, hindi porke mahal, effective. true enough... hiyangan lang talaga.

[anawnda]

It helps to check the content/ingredients talaga, it might contain comedogenic ingredients. Yung iba kasi may mica to diffuse light lang and dimethicone parang temporary plumper lang ng skin.

[bujhoy]

True! Nadala lang siguro talaga ko sa sales talk and good marketing strategy nila. 

[rae]

^^ In addition to that, yung iba merong ingredients that create micro-tears sa skin para mamaga yung cells at maging-plump. Over time hindi maganda.

^pag sa NuSkin yung agent dapat will tell you if the product is prone to cause breakouts like the Ageloc Foam Cleanser. I use this siguro 3x a week lang. pero it does the job. wala pako nakikita na pumapalit sa effect nito kasi on the spot to pag na try sa hand mo may changes sa lines and skin tone eh. pero kung good agent yun sasabihin nya na pwede ka magka breakouts sa long term use so pwedeng i advise ka na wag mo nalang gamitin religiously.

I used to use pala yung Tretinoin Facial Lotion from Derm A, tried the blue one and green one. Till now nasa market pa din to sa SM so i guess may buyers talga. College pa ata ako nandun na sha. Okay naman sa skin doesnt irritate my sensitive skin. Kaso parang hindi nako hiyang i tried to go back sa kanya pero parang hindi ko na sha feel. Might be bored with it lang though dami na kasi products na parang an sarap i try

[ava_garde]

^True. Ang daming products ang sarap i-try. lalo na now ang marketing strategy ng beauty companies eh yun latest 'breakthrough technology'.

 I tried tretinoin din before from dermas. Depende nga siguro sa texture yun hiyangan. Yun cream form kasi nag break out ako. Yun gel form hindi naman.

[bujhoy]

^ aww ngayon ko lang nalaman na nakakabreak out [textspeak!] nuskin product na yun, that was exactly what i was using. Ageloc foam cleanser. At first ok pa eh and super soft sa skin but after ilang days lang nagbreakout na ko. I continued to use it for a couple of days, as advised din para daw makapagadjust ang skin but lalong dumami pimples ko. Then i stopped using it na. Nanghinayang lang ako kasi its worth 2k+ for just one bottle. I want to use it sana kaso natatakot na ko kasi pimples nanaman ang effect sa face ko.

sis ang mura ng retin A sa inyo at yung retacnyl dito 800 pesos!!! sa mercury drugs!  grabeh naman.

[rae]

^ exag, saang mercury yan? Try mo kaya sa watsons?

[pinkgal]

mga sis na gumagamit ng tretinoin, bale pwede din ba siya sa eye area? sa whole face every night ilalagay? kasi tama nga yung 5ml na retin-a prang 200+ ne eh.. so mabilis maubos yun di ba?

[WickedWitchOfTheWest]

^you only need a pea-sized amount for the whole face. And if you're just starting, you can start by using every other night to every other 2 nights. Very irritating ang tretinoin and putting more than usual doesn't really help more. And yes, you can also apply it to your eye area pero is small doses, you can also buffer with a light moisturizer so it won't dry out your eye area.

[pinkgal]

thanks sis WickedWitchOfTheWest! Bale enough na yun sa buong face di ba?as in mcocover na ng pea sized amount lahat?

[rae]

^ If I may, yep, very spreadable naman sya. Minsan nga sobra pa yung peasize.

I just make sure I cover my whole face the thinnest layer possible, to minimize irritation.

[pinkgal]

Thanks sis!! So konti lang pala talaga

[Juricks]

^ Hindi sya classified as AHA or BHA e.

It's classified as a retinoid.

Warning ha. It's not well-tolerated by people with very dry and/ or sensitive skin. So, read reviews at acne.org or at makeupalley or backread sa lahat ng tretinoin threads.

I can't recommend a brand kasi feeling ko walang significant difference except yung texture nya. Pero since retacnyl is what I'm using now, yun na lang..

Thanks sis.. do you use that all over your face? or under eye area lang?

[rae]

^ All-over

[bujhoy]

Effective ba mga sis [textspeak!] anti aging cream na snake venom? Have your heard of that?

You can still use it sis. Try mo mag once a week or 2x a week.you can even use it sa dark spots sa body mo if youre not comfy sa face. Sayang ang 2k! Haha

[bujhoy]

It's called Syn-ake from Tony Moly. Para siyang topical botox
