Korean Skincare and Cosmetics Thread 2

[budzwhiz]

Sis anong nangyayari sa skin mo pag gumagamit ka nang may fermented ingredients? I've been using SK II essence pero hindi ko magamit everyday kasi minsan parang nag bu butlig butlig hindi ko sure kung allergy or dahil lang talaga sa essence. Want to try missha fte sana pero baka same rin ang effect.

Hi sis, sorry sa late reply. Mejo TMI, yung sakin is mga butlig din, tapos may kasamang pimples din. Yung mga butlig I dunno how to describe, parang may pus sa loob na eventually lumalabas ng dry, parang whiteheads.

^Sabi nga din ni fiddysnails di daw pwedeng i-shrink ang pores.  Only option is to clean them regularly to make them clearer.

Mag 2 weeks na ako sa Korean routine ko. Lagi ako excited gumising haha.  I can say may significant improvement talga sa condition ng skin ko.  Looks and feels so hydrated and bright.  Partida I'm on my period now when usually bleh ang face ko. 

Any suggestions though on how to address oily T-zone?  Baguhin ko din ba ang powder ko?  I've been using MAC Studio Fix so naisip ko baka good idea din to switch to a Korean brand for powder, or something lighter.  Kasama na sa routine ko ang COSRX AHA Whitehead and BHA Blackhead liquids btw.

Thanks sis lovely_chic! Naghiwalay na yung liquids. Hintay ko tom yung abt sa amoy hehe.

^Sis, ok lang pa-pm ng routine mo? Goal ko din kasi ay well-hydrated skin :-)

---
Product reco to achieve a really well-hydrated skin? (Have an oily skin, but products I'm using made it dry--Aveeno body wash)

Yung meron ako: (*using)
Biore watery essence (sunblock)
Skinfood make up remover
Greencross bar soap*
Aveeno active naturals b.wash*
CosRx BHA liquid
Coffee body scrub
Vaseline spf 30*

(Result: waley effect, kulang)
Pakonti-konti ko dadagdagan ng better products hehe, Ipon-ipon pa.

^Ay sis, facial skin ang saken ha.  May nabanggit ka kasing Aveeno body wash, so did you mean skin overall?  Body skin ko naman ay ok, wala masyadong problema so facial skin talga ang inaatupag ko ngayon hehe.

Here is my routine based na din sa helpful input ng mas knowledgeable sisters natin dito re Korean skin care 

Morning:

1. COSRX Good Morning cleanser
2. OST Vitamin C20 Serum
3. Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb
4. Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Sunscreen SPF50+

Evening:

1. COSRX Good Morning cleanser 
2. Skinfood Black Sugar Mask (2x a week)
3. COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid (3x a week)
4.  COSRX AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid (3x a week)
5.  Benton Snail Essence and/or Steam Cream (samples lang muna na binigay ni Skincare Curator)
6.  Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb

Once dumating na yung latest order ko from Althea, incorporate ko na din sa routine:

Banila Co Clean It Zero Reservatrol
Innisfree Green Tea eye cream
Innisfree Green Tea sleeping pack

Ginawa ko din last week yung Pore Grit method ni Fiddy Snails using the Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask.  Balak ko gawin every week as per her suggestion.

Kelangan ko pa humanap ng ok na first essence and ampoule.  Iniintay ko ang update ni sis sassy_gal18 re RRS order nya hehe.  Dun kasi may samples ng Sulwhasoo gusto ko i-try.


**ETA:  Sheet masks din pala 2x a week.  Right now I have a couple from SK-II, Benton Snail Bee High Content and Purederm Eye Collagen.  Dadagdagan ko pa kasi nakakaadik haha!

i started using Laneige products
Lip sleeping mask - has this berry fruity smell
refiner and emulsion - makes my face velvety soft and squishy
water Bank Essence_EX - moisturizes my skin well and the feeling that my skin is not tight last for more than 12 hours
water sleeping mask - my skin feels hydrated in the morning

i know they are all not in same range but what i love about laneige is that they have samples i can try out first
to see what will work or not on my skin.

^^dragonfly anong ginagamit mong cleansing oil sa pore grit ni fiddy? Nag order na ko ng clay mask. Sa pic dun sa blog nya yung clean it zero, so pwede din yun? Pero sa steps nya cleansing oil daw. Za cleansing oil lang meron ako medyo matagal na.

[iamthesun]

Ano magandang gamitin para sa whiteheads?

[pinkat]

Sa mga gumagamit ng OST Vitamin C20 Serum. day and night niyo ba ginagamit? feeling ko kasi nag dry and nangitim face ko here. Though parang di na ganun kavisible pores ko. But nakakalungkot. Do you pair it with whitening soap and nagmomoisturizer pa kayo? TIA

[sassy_gal18]

Sis if i may, tho hindi ko pa natatry may mga ilan sa mga sissies natin here gumagamit ng COSRX AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid.

Actually kasama to sa nakalatag ko nang routine if ever magkabudget na.

^^Baka naman overuse kasi day and night? Nag-sun protection ka ba ng over spf30 when you used that? When I first used that a long time ago, nightly lang ako and 2 to 3x a week lang, with moisturiser. Madami nag-recommend to use it in the morning because vitC works well with sun protection but sticky siya and I didn't have time to wait for it to be absorbed so I didn't. Pwede din na oxidised na kaya better to put it in a fridge.

Pore minimiser never works, I had lasers and products specific for that wala rin, although Revlite works for one week lang. What works best for me now is hydration; Belif's True Cream Moisturizing Bomb (heavier than the Aqua Bomb) is good for that, pag iyan gamit ko sa work hindi masyado obvious.

[pinkat]

Ah talaga better in the morning? I switched to once a day nalang kasi parang ang dry na talaga. I dont use moisturizer pa naman. But nagsunflower oil na ko uli. Girls tama ba?
night:
1. remove eye make up - dearberry remover
2. wash - kojic soap
3. toner
4. missha fte
5. missha borabit

morning:
1. wash - kojic
2. ost vit c serum

[ataypool]

^I think it's too much for your skin if you're also using Kojic wash twice in a day; too much skin lightening, kasi meron ka nang Vit C twice then wala ka pang moisturizer and wala ka rin sunblock/sunscreen?

[budzwhiz]

Grabe yung fragrance nung Innisfree green tea seed cream, sobrang tapang. Parang men's perfume. Sa mga review amoy fresh or green tea daw, LOL. I think I'd like to try something else na walang fragrance. Yung green tea seed deep cream di ko lang alam kung magkasing tapang ang amoy, haven't opened yet.

Ang gusto ko matry yung serum. Malakas talaga amoy ng innisfree pero orchid cream yung meron ako.

Sis ataypool may alam ka bang korean skincare na may retinol? Wala akong masearch

[iwannabeasupermodel]

^^ for me sis okay naman yung amoy ng green tea deep seed eye cream. It's refreshing and for me subtle naman siya haha.

[ataypool]

^Iope, Hera, Isa Knox, Mamonde meron sila with retinol.

[izzie7]

^san ka tumitingin ng list ng products? Hindi ko mahanap or kung alam mo yung name ng line na may retinol thanks!
Edit: nakita ko na nasa anti-wrinkle pala. Pang eye/mouth area.

Hindi ko mahanap yung mamonde yun yung nasa budget ko hehe may chin& neck cream sila parang gusto ko  edit: $50 yung retinol cream nila wala sa budget ko haha pang targeted area lang. Gusto ko lang parang missha pang dagdag lang.

May natira akong onting onting Shu Uemura cleansing oil so yun na lang muna ginamit ko. 

[ataypool]

^Nasa gmarket site kasi ako at the same time nang mabasa ko question mo, search ko retinol, lumitaw sila. Although I've known about Iope Bio Retinol noon pa, kasi Iope parang Clinique ng Amore Pacific so meron talaga sila retinol product. Sa Gmarket nakita ko Isa Knox Nox Lab Retinol;  Hera Wrinkle Retinol corrector, Mamonde Retinol Cream, Innisfree Eco Science, nakita ko sa w2beauty. Speaking of gmarket, tiyempuhan makakita ng samples, gabi gabi tingin ako wala pa rin for 3 nights na.
