From what I've read maganda daw yung Iope Bio Essence Intensive Conditioning for oily skin types. Try ko maghanap ng sample size.

Continuing the discussion here...

sis budzwhiz, do you know how to use CosDNA.com? You can check for the ingredients of each product you're interested in. Pwede ka ring maghanap ng products that include your favourite ingredient at pwede mo ring i-exclude 'yung stuff na hindi hiyang sa'yo.

Sis 5tarfruit, may suggestion ka for oily T-zone?  Should I start using my BHA+AHA combo every day?  So far ginagamit ko sya 3x a week. Or purging ba ang nangyayari kaya parang extra shiny ang T-zone ko hehe.  Kakainis kasi di naman ako ma-makeup sa office so MAC Studio Fix lang gamit ko talga.  Kaso parang 1 hour after applying eh super oiliness na waaahh.

[5tarfruit]

^sis drag0nfly, ano bang pakiramdam ng skin mo? Tight ba ang feeling? May redness at namamalat ba? Kung ganun, baka overexfoliation 'yan. In general kasi, if you're using acids, kailangan mo rin gumamit ng hydrating and moisturizing products.

I checked your previous posts, ok na may balak kang magdagdag ng FTE, ampoule, and innisfree green tea products to your routine. 

The following ingredients help control oil production/sebum production:
Green tea (ex: innisfree green tea line)
Niacinamide (ex: Missha FTE, COSRX Galactomyces, IOPE Bio Essence, HERA Cell Essence, etc.)

Maybe apply an essence/ampoule before your Belif Aqua Bomb in the morning. Tapos FTE after all your acids (make sure to wait 20-30 minutes) in the evening. Pakiramdaman mo na lang.

Also, do you use a primer before your MAC Studio Fix?

[drag0nfly]

Ay FTE pala before BHA?  Kaka-include ko lang ng Missha FTE this week.  Kaso after acids ko nilalagay.  Mali pala.  Ok naman ang feeling ng skin ko since using actives, sis.  Actually wala nga ako masyadong maramdaman haha.  No tingling whatsoever.  Walang violent reaction ang skin ko since using BHA+AHA ng Cosrx.  I started using Innisfree Green Tea sleeping pack 2 weeks ago, too.

Di din ako gumagamit ng primer before powder sis.  Di ako ma-makeup masyado hehe.

[5tarfruit]

^oops sis, sorry, after acids pala ang FTE! Di ko alam kung bakit 'yun ang tinype ko, huhu. :/ I edited my post.

Kung okay ka naman sa skincare, baka sa makeup na talaga. You're using the MAC Studio Fix Fluid, no? I think kailangan mo talaga ng primer and setting powder. Kung gusto mo Korean products pa rin, the crowd favourites are innisfree's No Sebum Blur Primer and No Sebum Mineral Powder/No Sebum Blur Powder.

^I'm using the powder foundation, but I'll try nga din with the primer nila.  Try ko din yung Innisfree powders baka mas complementary sa skin care ko.  Thank you as always, sis!

Yung missha borabit ba pwede sa morning gamitin after ng vit c? hehe. Di ko pa din alam ano culprit ng pimple ko

I highly recommend Innisfree No Sebum Mineral powder. Okay sya as a setting powder kakaubos ko nga lang.

[5tarfruit]

sis drag0nfly, you're welcome!

Missha's Borabit Ampoule contains niacinamide na kapag ginamit after vitamin C causes flushing, so hindi recommended na gamitin siya in one routine (morning/evening), unless you're willing to wait 20++ minutes. Not sure kung ito rin ang cause ng breakouts mo, sis. ^^;

[Ireneeeeee]

^me too! super love that powder! super lurve yun minty scent nya and keeps the oilies at bay!

^^hi! i use the borabit din sa morning pero vitamin c sa gabi ko lang gamit kasi mahirap na baka maarawan konti mahirap na. Acid kasi si vitamin c so mas madali masunog skin kung maarawan so sa gabi ko lang sya gamit..

Sis Based sa nabasa ko dati vitamin C enhance the effectiveness of sunscreen. Yung Borabit naman may retinol so parang hindi sya dapat sa morning.

[pinkat]

Hindi ko naman ginagamit ng sabay vit c and borabit. Di ko lang alam san ko isisingit yung borabit tinanggal ko na after missha fte coz parang nag oily ako and nagkapimple im normally dry. Di na nga din ako nagmomoisturizer pag gising ko kasi para kong pinagprituhan sa super oily.

[5tarfruit]

Agree with sis pret_ty68 May photoprotective properties and vitamin C so okay siya gamitin in the morning under moisturizer and sunscreen.

Re: Missha Borabit Ampoule
Super negligible lang 'yung amount nung retinol so hindi talaga siya retinol product. 0.0004% lang according to Fiddy.

[ataypool]

^^Pag di ka naman nag-moisturise, nagiging very dry naman kaya the skin produces more oil to compensate. Avoid mo na lang moisturisers na may mineral oil, petrolatum, cocoa butter etc; go for the ones with Hyaluronic acid or iyong nakalagay sa label na water-based, gel, lotion or oil-free. Also include chemical exfoliants for quick turnover. Belif's Aqua Bomb is good (I got the thicker version which I love). CoSRX dami rin options, cheap and gets the job done.

oh ok interesting! thanks for the info! pero hindi pa rin ako kampante gamitin sya sa AM and I tried that before pero lalo lang nangitim mukha ko lol. So will stick to my regimen effective naman din for me kahit sa PM lang

I use borabit in the morning and so far ok naman din skin ko no irritation whatsoever sinunod ko lang rin naman yun nasa bottle na you can use it AM and PM

I ordered cosrx AHA whitehead power liquid ganda kasi ng reviews. Pero I have the BHA Skin returning A-sol. Pwede ba sila gamitin together or hiwalay dapat sya? and ano po dapat mauna? thanks sa sasagot

[vuzhia]

mukhang need ko pa dagdagan routine ko at need din ng kaunting sipag pa 

meron akong moment na okay na umabot na ako sa serum then wait pa ako ng ilang minutes hihiga lang ako sa bed at katabi ko na nga yung cream ko aba eh bigla akong nawalan ng malay sa antok at hindi na nakapaglagay ng cream hehe 

[Ireneeeeee]

^the struggle is real! relate! ahhaha! ako naman kakahintay ng 30 min. because of the AHA ayun umaga na ako nagising lol. dami ko pa sana plano like magsheetmask etc.

pero once i got the hang of it parang kahit nakapikit alam ko na aabutin ko na toner/ cream/ emulsion/ serum/ atbp. parang naging habit na sya. Yun pagshesheetmask lang talaga yun super kinatatamaran ko pa. :/

[pinkat]

Thanks sa info mga sis. I tried using water based moisturizer pero ayun nagoily talaga ko ng bongga. Nung tinanggal ko sa regimen ko naging okay. Parang di ko kapid missha nakakasad. Parang mas okay pa ko sa etude. Buti sample size lang pinagbbili ko.
