Korean Skincare and Cosmetics Thread 3

[itzzmeeh]

^ thanks for answering budzwhiz. So pwede ko pala siyang omit? Tapos magantay nalang ako 30mins after ko apply BHA blackhead? Coz i think mas kailangan ko yun. Can you suggest a toner that goes well with that sis? Thank you

Also saan kaya ako makakaorder ng samples ng cosrx? Kung meron lang, kung wala naman mag risk nalang ako sa full size trial and error nalang waah. Yung cosrx 96 snail mucin essence parang missha FTE ba siya i mean yun ang counterpart sa cosrx? Nakita ko kasi kay fiddysnails favorite niya yun and yung cosrx all in one snail cream

[ireneeey]

^ not really expert sa CosRX products since kakastart ko lang gamitin sila pero a week na rin siguro and so far so good. Im using the Good Morning cleanser (balancing toner). Then followed by AHA whitehead power liquid. Plan ko na wag ng idagdag yung AHA/BHA toner kasi baka masyadong magdry na face ko. Tried this combination for 5x na yata, so far so good.

Im also planning to buy Snail 96 Music Essence for hydration naman.

Sa shopee may nakita akong mga decant/takal size. Buy at your own risk nalang. Hehe.

[budzwhiz]

^^ Yes sis, pwede naman i-omit.
So you want another toner pero hindi yung sa CosRx? Sadly, I can't help you with that. Hindi na kasi ako [religiously] gumagamit ng toner. Ang last na ginamit ko is yang CosRx, while I also have Kiehl's blue and Andalou pore minimizing.. Both I still use occasionally.
The Cosrx snail mucin is not an FTE, mejo thick sya for that. It's a straight up essence.

Btw, if someone's interested, I have a used Mizon snail repair intensive ampoule. PM me nalang.

[itzzmeeh]

^^ Nakakatakot yung takal esp for first timer haha. Pati yung cosRx snail all in one i want to try din kaso baka halos same lang? Hehe

^ Aahh thicker pala siya than Missha? Pwede siya sa last kaya sis? Instead of moisturizer? Nastress nako d ko alam oorderin hahaha naoverwhelm sa mga pinaglilista ko. Mamaya send ko dito yung plan ko buy sana may magcheck kung tama ba pagkasunod sunod hehe

[budzwhiz]

^ Iba pa sya sa moisturizer sis. Pero it still depends on your skin. Kung hanggang ilang layered products lang ang kaya nya tanggapin.
The best thing I've learned from all this Korean routine thingy, always listen to your skin. Sa pagpilit ko noon na paramihin ng paramihin yung steps ko, nag-worsen lalo yung skin ko.
If you're just starting out, pa-isa isa lang muna ang pag-introduce ng product. Give each at least 2 weeks before introducing another. Better kung 1 month lalo if sensitive/acne-prone. I know nakaka-excite and ang hirap magpigil , but mas mahirap na kapag nabigla yung skin tapos di pa ma-pinpoint which of the products ang nag-cause ng reaction.
My unsolicited advice lang naman.

[ireneeey]

^true. Sobrang mahirap magrisk sa mga takal lalo na pag first time mo gagamitin. And ayoko rin itry ang takal kasi mas nakaka stress yon. Wala kang peace of mind. Haha.

Hindi na rin ako nagtttoner every time gagamit ako ng AHA power liquid. Baka kasi over drying na ang effect. And tama yung sinabi na budwhiz na dapat try to incorporate one product at a time para ma-assess mo kung okay siya or not.

[Super Nix]

Hi mga sis I hope you can help me. About to start my korean skincare naoverwhelm ako hindi ko alam ano mga bibilhin haha. Im on the combination/oily side. Pag mag toner ba ako ng Cosrx BHA/AHA clarifying toner okay lang mag acid pa after? Yung BHA blackhead liquid. Ano difference nila?

Hi sis! I have oily skin and what I would advise is that pa isa isa muna ang itest mo kasi baka matulad ka sakin masyado ako naexcite nag acid (BHA Blackhead Power Liquid) agad ako tapos ayun na-overexfoliate so nagbreakout yung skin ko. Mag start ka muna sa cleanser, toner, and moisturizer and syempre a sunblock. Dapat hydrated na yung skin mo. Di naman kailangan mag acid if you don't really need it. Lesson learned ko yan kasi makinis naman yung face ko before pero nainggit lang ako lol. So now I stopped it and nagka spots ako galing dun sa pimples kaya I'm treating those spots naman and my only acid is Vit C which works well thankfully. So kung toner, mag hydrating toner ka muna like Klairs supple prep toner which is what I'm using.

[itzzmeeh]

Thanks for all the advice and recos budzwhiz and ireneeeey! Oonga nakakatakot kasi sensitive acne prone din skin ko. Actually wala namang pimples pero mayat maya may tumutubo pa isa isa d ko alam san galing. And ang concern ko yung pag malapitan kita ko na may area na parang dry (parang butlig butlig itsura) gusto ko yung maging makinis talaga and supple haha feeling. Sis Super Nix okay BHA pag oily skin dba? Grabe kasi pag oily ng skin ko huhu. Or enough na muna yang toner? Wala naman alcohol yung Klairs? Thanks

[itzzmeeh]

Tama ba to mga sis? Paki correct nalang in order and pa simplify nalang baka naman exag yan for first time hehe padagdag nalang din kung mas may okay na product. Incorporate ko one at a time on my routine like what you've said. Right now im using Missha Borabit with La Roche Effaclar H as my moisturizer and VMV Armada sunblock pero parang walang effect nagkaka breakout pa ako. Try ko borabit with these korean brands sana maging okay. Thanks so much sisters! Sobrang helpful ng thread na ito on my journey to having a beautiful glowing youthful skin haha

Yung Biore UV Sunscreen ba meron sa watsons? Wala kasi sa althea and skincarecurator

[budzwhiz]

^ Meron sa Watson's ang Biore. It's a japanese brand kaya wala sya sa althea and skincarecurator.

[n_n]

^^Meron sa Shopee ng Biore. Cheapest nakita ko ay P290

[ireneeey]

I bought Biore UV Watery Essence (blue) sa Watsons. Meron din sa BeautyMNL. Bought it for 430 yata.

A lot of Watsons stores carry Biore products. Check mo nalang lalo na sa malls.

[ireneeey]

Guys, if I am using CosRX Good morning cleanser, do I still need to use Klairs Supple Prep Toner? Or pwedeng AHA power liquid na after the cleanser itself? Anong better?

And regarding vitamin c serum, torn ako between Klairs Freshly Drop serum and OST C20 Serum. Since I am using acids at night (MWF lang), can I use OST C20 everyday sa morning or too much na? Ive read several reviews kasi saying na high ang concentration ng C20 kaso mabilis mag oxidize. Then yung Klairs naman 5% vit c lang, and walang effect sa brightening, although okay siya sa sensitive skin.

Hoping for your advice.

[n_n]

^ +Can I use c20 everyday? Or may risk ng overexfoliation? Hindi ko isasabay sa ibang acids. Routine for moisture: Missha FTE, HL Moist, Cosrx snail essence, Rosette ceramide gel

[einjhel]

mga sis, san kayo nakabili ng C20 vitamin C serum?

[n_n]

Regarding Biore, P390 pala hindi P290 ang cheapest na nakita ko.


^Shopee Cheapest nakita ko ay P720, sa tagged 'preferred' sellers ay P750 ang pinaka-mura. Siguro tanong mo din kung kailan nadeliver sa kanila. Hindi kasi stable ang C20, pwede mag-oxidize (heat/oxygen)

I have been an avid user of BRTC blemish recover balm BB cream for years. But I think BRTC stop selling this variant anymore and Im going crazy because its really hard for me to find my korean bb cream match. I have a very very fair skin and pink undertone and this is the only bb cream that matched my skintone and my skin needs.

Have tried buying other brands such as dr jart, etude, missha, other variant of brtc but still not matched my shade and needs.

Does anyone know here where I can still get the BRTC blemish recover balm bb cream or at least an exact equivalent of it? Im pink undertone nc15 have combination oily skin. I like satin / dewy finish.

Love ko na agad yung cosrx aha. Very good pang treat ng acne.😄

[itzzmeeh]

How would you know kung allergic sa isang product or purging stage lang? Started Missha Borabit Ampoule this Feb 2 lang. Yan palang kasi wala pa ibang order ko. This one kasi binili ko last Dec while on vacation. Nagkaron butlig butlig face ko and occasional redness. Itchy din siya. Yung butlig all over my face talaga huhu gumaspang siya Hindi ba ako hiyang with the ingredients kaya? Nag order pa naman ako Missha FTE.

[budzwhiz]

^ Yep. No doubt that's an allergic reaction.
