Korean Skincare and Cosmetics Thread 3

[Super Nix]

Want to share my current routine:

AM:
1. Human Heart Nature Balancing Facial Wash - read on reddit that this has low pH so hindi na ko bumili ng korean brand but paubos na and I'm planning to try the Cosrx Low pH cleanser

2. Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner as toner - been using this for 2 weeks already. ok lang, fresh and clean ang feel but no magic here. haha.

3. Missha FTE in Intensive Moist - I think this is the new formulation, first impression is very dewy and sticky on my face, yun pala naparami lang lagay ko. So I used less and okay na hindi na sticky but dewy parin and glowy face ko next day (when used at night)

4. Benton Steam Cream - love at first application! BTW, I have very oily skin and matte ang finish nya, ok to under makeup so far, no breakouts and hindi ko pa nakikita effect kasi 2 days ko pa lang nagagamit.

5. Biore UV Aqua Watery Essence spf 50 pa +++ - inuubos ko na lang. I don't like the shiny finish sa face.. pero my foundation sticks to it so keri lang... but i won't repurchase

PM:

1. Garnier Micellar Water or The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Oil in Light
2. Human Heart Nature facial wash (same as AM cleanser)
3. Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner
4. Missha FTE
5. Nature Republic Bee Venom Emulsion - I don't like this, inuubos ko lang, but ok sya when you have active pimples, it shrinks the size the next day
6. Benton Steam Cream

so yung sunblock lang ang wala.. I have these in my stash waiting to be opened:

*OST Vit C serum (latest version)
*Tony Moly Floria Whitening essence (to whiten my blemishes)
*Cosrx AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner - I think this and the BHA blackhead power liquid caused my OA breakouts kaya tinabi ko muna sila
*Skinfood Peach Sake Pore Serum
*The Face Shop Oil Free Sun Cream

Lesson learned in asian beauty skincare is do not use actives agad agad when your skin's condition is not moisturized/hydrated kasi ganyan ngyari sakin na overexfoliate ako so ang dami ko pimples ngayon nakakainis. But I'm excited para malaman ko din which is effective and which is not. BTW girls if you want to see more product reviews or just explore the Asian Beauty community, you may search for #rasianbeauty (yes may r) on Instagram

^Thanks for sharing Sis.

I am currently using the Etude House Pore Wonder Toner and wala nga sya masyadong wow effect, but I bought another one for my stash kase naglolower pala ito ng PH so I don't need to wait during the nights I apply the BHA blackhead power liquid and the AHA whitehead power liquid. 

Interesting yang MISSHA FTE in Intensive Moist ha! hmm... sana maging available sa Iherb hehe.

Dun naman sa Biore Sunblock - yung nabili nung asawa ko yung Biore UV Perfect Milk SPF0++ buti na lang ok lang din sya haha.  Not sticky and ang bilis ma-absorb, and no white cast as well.  So yan at yung innisfree Eco safety perfect sunblock SPF50+ PA+++ 50ml (waterproof) ang ginagamit ko salitan or whichever I feel using hehe.  Mas gusto ko si Biore kase mas mabilis sya magsink sa skin ko.  But ok din naman si Innisfree, tho I read somewhere na discontinued na sya.

^same present state sis. Sakin naman very dry sa sides ng ilong at sa forehead. Hindi to dahil sa actives pero dahil sa OA oil cleansing. Natutuwa kasi ako na nadi-dislodge yung bheads kaya ang tagal ko nagmamassage every night. One week na yata to pero ngayon almost back to normal na, thankfully. Cos last time this happened ang tagal bago makarecover skin ko, kakaiyak. (This was from Beaute Set 😡) Ngayon 1wk na wala akong actives at super heavy ng pinagpapatong kong creams (2-3) at sleeping pack, pero walang whiteheads. Whiteheads central face ko e, so ang galing galing!

^lol kay langaw 

sis san mo nabili softymo deep oil cleanser?

kagabi ko lang sya na try kase inubos ko pang Biore ko, pabili ko sya sa cousin ko from Hong Kong, gondoh nya! mas okay sya kesa sa Biore cheaper pa and mas malaki bote...natatakot ako baka maubos ko wala pa akong mapagbilhan from HK, pero made in Japan sya no? papa hoard ako sa Japan pag may pupunta hihi

[luna laxa]

^sa shoppee Lang sis. 500 pesos saka free shipping di na masama

[vuzhia]

^huwow! halos doble rin price dito. HKD38 nabili ni cousin ko, pag may papunta talagang HK papa hoard na ako hihi 

[blessed_grateful]

Thank you for the reply. As night cream lang nakalagay, i'm about to purchase pa lang sana online, first time to include cosrx sa routine so i was thinking [textspeak!] cream para di mabigla. Then i found cosrx pimple pad sa watsons, mas mura pa sya sa online sellers so i bought it. Used it as a toner so far ok sya, nakaka clear ng skin at nakaka tulong sa pag dry ng pimples.

[katniss]

update on my skin condition. still too many small pimps are forming. parang gusto ko na stop muna Cosrx routine ko and go back to my derma! dami ring whiteheads na nagfoform hay sayang yung full size products. baka may gusto bumili sa inyo. lol

pero nakakatwo wks pa lang naman ako. try ko pa gang one month by adding or removing stuff fr my routine.

[luna laxa]

^ baka yung aha/BHA toner yan sis- mixed reviews nga sya, madami ako nababasa na nagbreakout jan.

[katniss]

^aww really di nga rin sya gusto nung isang blogger na nabasa ko. anyway, yung lowph cleanser pa naman yung tinggal ko muna at back to raw honey muna ako.

[newsoul]

i've really been loving Hera UV mist Cushion. 

[luna laxa]

^try mo rin sis mag BHA and aha (yung actives) para makatulong pang clear ng break outs. Samples muna bilhin mo, madami naman nagbebenta good luck! 😊

[lordknight_aiz.18]

I'm so thankful na hiyang ako with cosrx bha liquid. Di pa complete yung korean skincare steps ko kasi super slow ako magbuild up ng routine.

This is my routine  sa pm.

Cleansing
Olive oil- used as make up remover
HHN acne defense facial wash

Actives
Cosrx blackhead power liquid

After 30 mins.
Chica y chico tota as moisturizer
Or HHN rosedew mist .


Thats it. I don't know kung tama and I know madami pang kulang na step.

[ennaira021]

Mga sis paadvice naman how to properly use this three, which comes first? BRTC Vitalizer c10 ampoule, Missha FTE, Missha Borabit ampoule. Pwede ko bang pasabayin tong tatlo? TIA💕

[drag0nfly]

Nagpunta ako Koreatown kahapon and I'm so tempted to get the Sulwhasoo starter kit. Anyone here who's tried the whole line? $121 sya.

[luna laxa]

^ gamit ko yun ngayon, pero tester kits Lang, and I would suggest you do the same para di masayang kung di mo magustuhan. 3 weeks into using them, honestly medyo underwhelmed ako. Pinakagusto ko na, ppl also are saying it's the best from the line, is their first Care activating serum. May cosrx galactomyces essence rin kasi ako ang I think mas gusto ko pa yun over it. Okay rin yung water pero for me di sulit sa price. But then if you can get them all (5 items i think) full sized for $121 okay na rin.

[luna laxa]

^^
Yes okay Lang naman sila pag sabayin. I think brtc should be an acid step:
 
Brtc c10 (wait 20 mins to fully absorb)
FTE
Borabit

[lordknight_aiz.18]

Ordered aromatica tea tree toner and skin miso blackhead remover. Can't want to try them na.

[lordknight_aiz.18]

 I'm not sure kung tama yung sequence ng routine ko.
1. Human heart nature Acne defense facial wash
2. Aromatica tea tree toner
3. Cosrx bha power liquid
4. Leejiham tea tree essence
5. Chica y Chico tota gel

Tama ba?
