All About Facial Serums

[tischarmedlife]

Will start using TBS White Shiso Overnight Serum. Anyone else tried this?

^^ I think I'll go with Ciracle. And it has 20% L ascorbic. I'll keep it in the fridge then hehe thanks sis!

[Iemi]

^ you should start hunting ciracle sis. I was supposed to buy my 2nd bottle pero OS.YET.AGAIN. sigh. I'll just wait for now. And yes, kailangan nasa fridge yung vit. C serum sis, lessens the typical ascorbic acid odor din kasi. mine i've been using for 3 months and its still an orangey color i have about 1/3 of the bottle left. Mga 1-2 months pa to magtatagal.

Anyway, i've started using Kiehl's midnight recovery concentrate at night, at day Kiehl's daily reviving concentrate. Im starting to really love it, nawala kasi yung puffy, heavy, maga feeling sa umaga pagkagising due to insufficient sleep. Lumiliit din yung pimples ko dito and my eyes are not puffy anymore.

Meron din akong sample ng Kiehl's dark spot solution, pero parang mas like ko padin my Ciracle.

^ Thanks sis. I already ordered mine, online lang since I live here in the province na. Just hoping it's in tip-top condition once it gets here. But I'll be sure to open it asap and inspect. Not sure how they treat such items while in transit e. (Tagal pa naman, around 10 days :/) Sana hindi maapektuhan yung quality. And I hope it works well for me!

[Iemi]

^ i see, been contemplating din to just buy online, lagi kasi os sa southmall :'< i hope it works for you din sis ^^ maybe ill try ost vitamin c serum din.

Sorry for my ignorance, pero para saan ang facial serum? Anong benefit sa skin nito? I saw one sa sephora benefit facial serum ang nakalagay dun sa bottle.

[Iemi]

^topical facial treament sis; usually the most concentrated topical product in a regimen(more than creams, lotions, toners) and targets different facial skin issues.

[lesters_gal]

^thanks sis. pano ang application? Sa buong face or dun lang sa affected area? Nakakawala ba to ng pimple marks?

[Iemi]

Whole face ko nilalagay, i put more on problem areas (like marks). Yes, marami kasing classes ang serums (anti ageing, brightening, pore tightening, whitening, moisturizing). Iba iba sila ng target. If you want to fade pimple marks, i suggest vitamin c serums (effective for red marks as well).

[lesters_gal]

^Anong brand ang maganda sis for red pimple marks? Can you suggest one?  i've been battling this pimple marks for almost a month na. Right now im using effaclar duo plus. Although natanggal na yung bumps nya, kaya lang red pa rin sha until now. So i'm looking for an alternative after this effaclar duo plus. Thank you sis.

[Iemi]

^ baka post inflammatory hyperpigmentatio  yan sis? for this kind of marks coverderm serum. Acne sufferer ako as in worst was last year and kakaprick nagkaron ako ng post inflammatory marks. Ayan nakagamot sakin. But if you want you can just buy vitamin c serums nakatulong din ng malaki. ( avalon organics vitamin c renewal, ciracle, ost, kiehls etc).

[lesters_gal]

^same here sis i love to prick my pimples.. First time sa akin nangyari to na nagkaron ng pimple marks na matagal matanggal. Before kasi even when i pricked, the pimple marks only last for a week and balik na uli ang face ko sa dati, as in walang bakas ng pimple marks kaya malakas loob ko, because i've been doing it all my life.  But there's always a first time. Lol kaya eto super paranoid ako.

I used kojic soap to wash my face, then i put eskinol with maxipeel. Nung una napansin ko kapag nilalagyan ko ng eskinol and maxipeel yung 2 pimple marks ko lalo sha namumula. So i stopped. Kojic nalang then effaclar duo +. Pero it's been a month already reddish parin sha, sabi 6 weeks daw to see the result, pero i don't think nag lilighten sha.  Yung coverderm serum na sinasabi mo sis as in nawala yung pagka red niya? And bumalik talaga sa dati yung face mo? Walang bakas talaga ng marks? Same din ba ng application yan? Yung affected area lang din ang lalagyan? gano sha katagal before you see the result?
 Sis meron ka ba sample ng coverdern serum? Kasi i tried to search sa goole, yung lumabas is yung color brown bottle. But marami sha variations, ano yung bibilhin ko? Sorry sis dami k questions. TIA.

[Iemi]

^ ahh ok matagal mo na pala ginagawa sis haha ako nagkaron ng post inflammatory marks dahil every week ang acne surgery ko last year, grabe torture. 1 month after nagimprove yung super red cheeks ko, yung red marks ko naging dark na sya.  Para sa red acne marks sis, vitamin c serum talaga. Mas concentrated mas ok.
Yung coverderm serum kasi prescribed by my derma (shes a certified medical derma, not just a cosmetic derma), nakaprescribe din sakin before yung vitamin c cream nya but since expensive bumili sa kanya i looked for other alternatives.

Sis, stop kojic, it doesnt do anything for red marks, maxi peel din may aggravate the redness. Choose a vitamin c based soap instead, or anything thats less harsh than kojic acid.
Tignan ko nalang yung bottle ko ng coverderm serum later sis, nalimutan ko kasi full name nya.

[lesters_gal]

^kasi yung eskinol and maxipeel and kojic yung nakakapag lighten ng pimple marks ko dati. So akala ko this will work also with my problem now, pero this time hinde effective. Sa gabi kasi ako nag aaply ng effaclar duo. Kapag gising ko nakikita ko hindi sha ganun ka red kasi sympre my medication ako nilagay. But When i wash my face in the morning with kojic yun red nanaman sha uli.  Anong vitamin c soap ang maganda sis?  mga likas papaya pwede ba? maybe you are right i need to stop this kojic for the meantime para mag subside ang redness ng acne marks ko. Haay buhay.. after this i swear never na ako mag pprick ever. Lol kaka stress ang my pimple marks

[Iemi]

^ oo sis, stop mo muna kojic, later nalang yan kapag hindi na red yung marks. Eskinol is still ok hmm, why not diamond orange peel soap sis? Marami good feedback yan before sa soap thread (sorry ot)

Mag vitamin c serum (ciracle is good)ka nalang din sis, effective talaga for red marks. Brown marks din nako, at least marks nalang sis, ako may active pimple padin.

[kellen]

Gluta-C night serum gamit ko maganda naman makinis sa face nawala [textspeak!] rough skin na flaky sa cheeks ko nagbrighten din face ko.

Saan available ang eden's paradise tomato serum? And how much? TIA

[lesters_gal]

^ oo sis, stop mo muna kojic, later nalang yan kapag hindi na red yung marks. Eskinol is still ok hmm, why not diamond orange peel soap sis? Marami good feedback yan before sa soap thread (sorry ot)

Sige sis tignan ko kung meron orange peel soap dito. Wala kasi ako sa pinas. And yung vitamin c serum siguro meron yan sa pharmacy dito. Thanks sis lemi. Balitaan kita kapag nakabili na ako ng mga sinabi mo sa akin. Ang hirap ng  my pimple marks, kakawala ng confidence. Lalo na ngayon dami pa naman mga events dahil pasko...

Anyone na nakagamit na ng OST vitamin serum?  This is from korea..

yan ang gamit ko now sis. pang 2nd week ko ng OST, so far okay naman medyo lumiit yung mga pimplesmko before. 

[lesters_gal]

Walang serum dito sa place ko. Kakainis pa yung SA sa pharmacy kung ano2x ang binibigay sa akin. Sabi niya mag sunblock daw ako at naiiritate daw kasi kaya ganun.  Tapos nag tanong ako kung ano ang pwede ko pang wash ng face kasi i stopped using kojic soap na. Aba ang dami binibigay. Hindi ko nga kinuha. Yung sunblock lang kinuha ko. But until now hindi ko parin sha ginagamit.  I'm still using the effaclar duo plus. Medyo nakikita ko na nag lilighten sha. Siguro kaya sha red before dahil sa kojic. Thanks sis lemi for telling me to stop using it. I'm using the the la roche posay micellar water to wash my face. As in yun lang. So far so good naman. I miss my face naked. Kasi ngayon kahit dyan2x lang yung pinupuntahan ko i am forced to wear foundation and concealer. Nabibigatan ako. Feeling ko nag wrinkles na ako dahil sa everyday use ng make up.

I am using shiseido glow revival serum. A bit pricey but it's good. I buy kasi pag may 20%-25% sale ang shiseido.
