Korean Skincare and Cosmetics Thread 2

[cutemama]

@ataypool.. you're right sis, you can really see the difference.

I so love my face now, after 1 week and days of following korean regimen, my face is so smooth and supple (pwera usog). Im lucky kasi I have clear skin na before pa, sa awa ng Diyos hindi ako tagyawatin, pero my skin is super dry.

before kasi soap and mositurizer lang gamit ko, and pag feeling ko ang kapal na ng skin ko, I used Beauche or Dr, alvins para mag peel yung face ko. we all know na super harsh sa skin yung mga products na yun, kaya I only use that twice a year.

effective and proven  na pala talaga itong korean regimen, sobrang nakakatamad lang sa sobrang dami, pero now Im trying to be masipag pa everynight. Before kasi natutulog na lang ako ng hindi nag hihilamos kasi tinatamad ako, talo pa ko ni hubby super vain kasi yun.
 Now im super happy kasi napadpad ako sa threas na to, super dami ko nakuhang idea.

I want to try naman the CosRx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid. Hindi na ko naubusan ng gustong subukan na bago huhu. And also the Laneige Balancing Emulsion.

Sissies who do the double cleansing method, pa-recommend ako ng oil cleanser? Preferably something with no mineral oil or one that's good for sensitive skin. I don't wear makeup everyday, sunscreen lang so pass ako sa Banila Co clean it zero and other cleansing balms. I recently got this all-natural cleansing oil kaso parang nagkakapimples ako and my face feels so tight and dryyy after washing my face.

I swear by DHC Cleansing Oil. I hoard it when I travel. It's made mostly of Olive Oil. One time I ran out and used regular olive oil, it worked but had to use a little more.

^Me too! Tunaw agad waterproof mascara. After massaging the oil to my face, I emulsify it by adding water and massage ulit. After rinsing with water, I wipe my face with cotton pad or parang lampin. No trace of makeup na. Galing!

^Laneige and Face Shop has good reviews.  http://www.fanserviced-b.com/a-review-of-15-first-step-korean-oil-and-other-cleansers/
Iyong CosRX has a cleanser too good for sensitive skin. https://fiftyshadesofsnail.com/2015/10/13/debut-review-cosrx-low-ph-good-morning-gel-cleanser/

Thanks sis! Parang I want to try Laneige nga and TFS maganda ang ingredients list, kaso the Laneige one has coconut oil pala, nagbbreak out ako dun, sayang. Pero mukang maganda rin yung CosRx, I might try that one.

I swear by DHC Cleansing Oil. I hoard it when I travel. It's made mostly of Olive Oil. One time I ran out and used regular olive oil, it worked but had to use a little more.

Alam ko cult favorite din yang DHC na yan, but never bothered to even look at it, akala ko kasi mineral oil yung main component nya! Glad you mentioned it's olive oil pala, thanks sis! I want to try din tuloy this one.

Iope Bio Essence Conditioning - 6 nights of use - clarity, radiance and hydration, yes, same as Missha FTE (old formulation); a little goes a long way. Sa bottle may lines recommending how much to use but I think that is too much. Quick absorbing, I don't use the cotton provided. When compared to CosRX Galactomytes Whitening, I prefer Iope's texture but sa performance, kaunti lang angat ng Iope. I like this but I won't be buying again. There are a lot of FTE's in the market that are cheaper and works the same. Maybe if you have sensitive skin and do not like fragrances in your skincare products pwede ito kasi odourless and mukhang kind to sensitive skin.

Missha Time Revolution Night Repair Science Activator Ampoule- I had this for over a month now but only opened it 2 nights ago. I love this, reminds me a lot of Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair but with Missha visible next day unlike Estee Lauder's after a week. I used this with Iope Bio Essence and they worked well together. My routine that night was double cleanse, Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner, Paula's Choice 2% BHA treatment, wait 30 mins, Iope Bio Essence, Missha Time Revolution, Oshima Tsubaki Oil, Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Mask. Night before that I had my Alpha-H Liquid Gold treatment. Meron din akong breakout but I blame that on the Paula's Choice BHA, I might switch to CosRX.

Iope Volume Treatment Lip Balm - I use this during the day at work; very hydrating and I also get a bit of plumpness (makapal na bibig ko nadagdagan pa pag gamit ko); comparable to Shiseido Benefiance Full Correction Lip Treatment which is more expensive.

hi sis cutemama,  inggit naman ako sa result sayo ng korean skincare regimen. dahil nabasa ko result mo naengganyo ako sumali sa regimens nyo. Same with you sabon, toner and moisturizer lang din current na ginagamit ko. Pag feeling ko dull or makapal na skin ko sa face gagamit ako ng mga facial products na with peeling din usually dr.alvins or beauche din.

Nabasa ko lang to sa cosmo eto daw yung 10 steps ng korean skincare. hoping na mapayuhan nyo ko kung ano mga pwede kong gamitin yung proven nyo na at tested na, medyo pricey din kasi ang korean products.  pakicorrect na lang if mali or may dapat pa isingit.

I'm 26years old, with combination skin type, lately nagpipimples ako maybe pabago bago kasi ako ng soap and may new facial set ako na gamit.

1. Oil Cleanser - i do only wear sunblock for face and powder everyday. Do i still need to use this?
2. Foaming Cleanser

3. Exfoliator or Scrub - twice a week lang daw ok na.
4. Toner or First Essence

5. Eye Cream
6. Sheet Mask

7. Serums or Ampoules - pwede daw more than 1 gamitin

8. Sunscreen - to be used in my AM routine

9. Moisturizer or Cream

10. Sleeping Pack

maraming salamat sa lahat ng sasagot. please please don't snob me

^sis backread ka dami suggestions I also posted my tried and tested korean regimen products not so long ago baka makatulong..i reviewed it nasa page 13 sya

for me effective din talaga korean products kaya tuloy nakakaaddict. Problema ko naman ngayon naghohoard na ako ng kung ano ano korean skincare lol. I so love the essences!

[sassy_gal18]

thanks sis ireneeeee, sayo ko nga nabasa yung cathy doll eye serum kaya mega check agad ako nito sa watsons.

ok naman sayo sis? i have fine lines na rin kasi hoping magwork to.

[ataypool]

^5-7 steps puwede na for daily and nightly; 10 steps maybe once or twice a week. Magastos din kasi pero at your age, you have so many options like Tony Moly, Etude House, Laneige, CosRX, Holika Holika, etc.

Even on the days I don't wear make up I still double cleanse. Maski kasi sunscreen may natitira pa.

In fairness with Korean skincare, malaki talaga ang natulong nya. Marami na rin ako natry before dahil sa kaka experiment para mabawasan yung pagiging oily at saka yung acne. From local obagi, rejuvenating set, clarifying set at saka eskinol with dalacin pero wala sa mga ito ang nakapagbigay sa akin ng solusyon. Then 4 months ago I started using Korean skincare at dun nagiging okay na ang lahat. Na lessen na yung oiliness at malimit na rin akong nagkaka acne. I'm super happy although na aadik na rin ako sa kakabili ng korean skincare products pero okay na rin dahil sulit naman.

[lordknight_aiz.18]

naku mukang i need to try this one narin. naeengganyo na ko.. medyo scared lang ako sa oil cleansing..

[izzie7]

Nakakaadik talaga kasi may results ka namang makikita. Saka ang daming products na pwedeng bilhin lalo na may althea na. Kelangan mo talagang itry yung product para malaman kung ok sayo. Pero so far si sis budzwhiz lang naman yung may "reactions" haha

Sis ataypool hindi mo ba natry yung new formulation ng missha fte?

May skin miso na sa althea, at ang mura pero hindi siguro ako mag rrepurchase ng pore corset hindi ko alam san sya isisingit so bihira ko lang gamitin. Pero may peeling gel sila gusto ko itry pero parang yung jap peeling gel yung pinaka ok? Hindi ko pa din natry

[ataypool]

^not yet. Subukan ko naman iba pang brands.

[parpol_haze]

Mga sis, na-try niyo na ba Skinfood Egg White Pore Mask and Innisfree No-Sebum Blur Primer? Ganda kasi ng reviews sa Althea.

[sassy_gal18]

Sa wakas natapos ko na basahin ang buong thread. haha nacopy and paste ko na regimens nyong lahat (guilty. yes lahat talaga pati additional notes nyo).

 i don't know where to and how to start. Kakabili ko lang kasi ng Pure White set from skinpotions sa megamall. And i am blaming it for my nonstop pimples. nakakafrustrate.  i get what i paid for.

Please help me, for starter and switcher like me. ano mga sis ang mga una nyong nitry? or better yet please suggest yung mga pwede ko munang itry?

so far ang tumatak saken na mga products is yung missha fte, iope intensive conditioning essence, missha ampoule, cosrx aha and bha clarifying, cosrx aha, cosrx bha. Pero ayoko biglain so start muna ko sa simpleng regimen.


please PM me naman kung san ako makakabili sa ig ng mga starter set, or samples. Thank you 😚

Mga sis, na-try niyo na ba Skinfood Egg White Pore Mask and Innisfree No-Sebum Blur Primer? Ganda kasi ng reviews sa Althea.

^^ Sis meron ako nung Egg White Pore Mask, kaso once ko palang nagagamit, so I cannot speak much about it. Dami ko kasi mask na tinatry, hehe. Will update kapag steady ko na sya ginagamit.

^ Sis, what's your skin stype?

Hahaha sis izzie7 natawa naman ako, oo na ako na! My skin is in a terrible state right now. Focus muna ko sa hydration. Yung FTE ni return ko nalang sa Althea, I got my points back na. Try ko muna yung Innisfree green tea seed cream and Laneige balancing emulsion siguro. Sobrang dehydrated ng skin ko lately.

[lordknight_aiz.18]

i want to buy something pero wala sa althea.. sa wishtrend lang.. yung skinmiso nose pack..

[sassy_gal18]

sis budzwidz combi type yung skin ko.

share ko lang sa landmark i checked yung missha, 2370 sya. medyo pricey

[lordknight_aiz.18]

need ba talaga ng cleansing oil sa korean skincare steps? o pwedeng skip na yung part na yun?

[ataypool]

^for me, cleansing oil preference ko as first cleanse kasi when compared to cleansing balm and cleansing water (micellar water), it is more economical and removes a lot of sunscreen and makeup in one go. Second cleanse panigurado na tanggal lahat. Pwede mo naman gawin na one product lang for both first and second cleanse. My cleansing routine is cleansing oil > wipe with warm soft cloth > cleansing oil/foam/soap > wipe with warm soft cloth.
