Korean Skincare and Cosmetics Thread 4

Vit c serum is my favorite so far in terms of effects. Iba yung brightening na may glow pag yun ang gamit ko..kaso nakakahinayang kasi I havent used up even half of it and yellowish na siya. Will purchase next time yung BRTC vit c ampoule but the C20 is really good also.

Just tried the innisfree green tea serum this morning and walang hulas yung bb cream ko unlike pag yung dynasty cream ang gamit ko. Siguro masyado lang heavy si dynasty cream for mornings.

May naka-try na sa inyo ng Guerrisson cream or essence? How about Real Kill? Feedbacks please

[ppperez]

All Watson branches ba may CosRX? Never saw one. Might be missing out on a lot of products.

Finally found someone to buy for me Melano CC. If anyone is interested, I have an extra one ( sana for my sister but we just found out she's pregnant so can't use it) It was bought straight from Japan so it's fresh.

It's the spot essence, yung nasa silver tube. Hinanap ko talaga to kasi may issue daw sa stability yung ibang  vitamin C serums. Pati raw  yung OST na dati kong gamit 

[EunPam02]

Girls, you can try Klairs Vit C. Yun gamit ko and so far naglilighten na yung pimple marks ko sa chin hehe.

I am also currently using yung Guerrison Horse Cream. Ok naman sya kaya lang masyadong oily ,di pwede sa umaga.

[n_n]

^^Melano is a japanese brand, but thanks for the info!

Unkown din % ng Vit C nito. Pero may mga before & after photo ng spot treatment na effective siya, pero ymmv palagi guys.


^Klairs juice drop (Vit C) ay 5% afaik... iba-iba din kasi magreact skin, pero para sakin di effective. OST na 20% ay di din effective LOL (no visible result, used approx. 30% of the product? Pero masyado thick para sa balat ko yung consistency. Pag hindi masyado na-absorb sa balat parang nangitim / sobrang konting medyo orange yung skin ko na nilagyan, nag-oxidize kasi imbes ma-absorb yung vit c sa balat haha

---
Phone gamit, pero sa post regarding sa vit c being unstable: may mga vit c na stable may iba't ibang types din kasi ang Vit C

[Super Nix]

Also interested to use the Klairs Vit C since love ko my Klairs Supple Prep Toner, I have a few questions lang:

1. Do you rinse it off like the OST vit c?
2. How long sya sa face nyo to proceed with the next product?

[pretty_B]

Hi Girls! Anyone here following the korean 10-step regime? Pwede pa share ng mga korean products that you are using per step? Thank you.

[Super Nix]

^Hi sis, nagstart ako paunti unti sa Korean skincare and share ko sayo my routine

Skin Type: oily, acne prone

AM:
1. Wash face with COSRX LOW PH GOOD MORNING GEL CLEANSER - I love thisand I'm on my second tube na.
2. Missha First Treatment Essence in Intensive Moist - Paubos na sya pero I might not repurchase kasi wala namang "glow" effect based sa ibang reviews online.
3. Dear Klairs Supple Preparation Toner - love this toner! Would like to repurchase pero I have other toners na gusto ko pa itry sa list ko
4. LeeJiHam Tea Tree Essence - another product na pricey and wala ako makitang effect, paubos narin sya.
5. Skinfood Peach Sake Pore Serum - hindi sya talaga serum type, mas lotion-y sya, I like this under makeup pwede na kasing primer, and I love the smell too!
6. Biore UV Perfect Milk sunblock - mas gusto ko to kesa dun sa Watery Essence and mattifying, so ok under makeup.

PM:
1. Remove makeup with The Face Shop Rice Cleansing Oil in Light - not sure kung yan yung whole name nung product but it works and smells so good. Does it job in removing makeup. Then I use any baby wipes na meron ako to remove.
2. Wash face with the COSRX cleanser.
3. Missha FTE
4. Klairs toner
--- once a week: Cosrx Pimple Pads----
5. Any sheet mask na nasa stash ko. Kung ano feel ko to use that time
6. LJH tea tree toner
7. Nature Republic Bee Venom emulsion - I only use this at night kasi dewy finish sya sa face and it helps kapag may active pimple ako, napapansin ko nababawasan yung redness nya
8. Cosrx Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream - second tub na namin ni bf and love to ng skin namin. Very mositurizing!
9. Mario Badescu drying lotion for active pimples...

Yan routine ko. Kapag nagbbreakout ako I just use my Zaine Skin Set for 1-2 weeks then balik ako sa Korean routine ko I don't use actives aside dun sa Cosrx pimple pads kasi I had bad reactions sa BHA before. Vitamin C naman naka isang bottle lang ako pero di ko kasi feel yung stickiness nya.

[yellowminion]

1. Do you rinse it off like the OST vit c?

Binabanlawan ba yung OST Vit c serum? I thought you just leave it on sa face then lather another product depending on your routine.

[pretty_B]

^^Thanks sis Super Nix! Yan ba yung Missha Time Revolution?  nagstart palang kasi ako magresearch ng mga products (though open ako kahit not all korean) isa yung missha na cinoconsider ko. kung walang glowing effect parang di sulit ah. mahal pa naman nyan. Any other recommendation pang essence? tia!

[Super Nix]

^^dati kasi sis hindi ko niririnse off, pero dahil napansin ko nagli-leave sya ng parang film sa surface ng face ko, so feeling ko di na maaabsorb yung next product, i asked sa reddit pwede daw rinse off kahit baby wipes lang after 20 mins

^yes sis yun nga yung Time Revolution I have a bottle of Secret Key FTE 600 something lang bili ko online and so far maganda naman reviews. Ang mahal nga lang talaga nung Missha. First FTE ko yan pero parang wala lang sakin. Try mo mag read sa reddit sis hanapin mo yung AsianBeauty subreddit madami ka matututunan dyan ako nag start eh,,,

[luna laxa]

Oops sorry for the Melano cc post I didn't know strictly kbeauty tayo rito.

Si nn,, L-AA rin yung Melano, as with ost, parehong type. But Melano has vitE (tocopheryl acetate) second on the ingredients list vs 25th of Ost. Ost also has niacinamide, that used together has been know to cancel each other out- or worse can post oxidize vitC (cause skin damage). It also has alcohol which could be why it stings more than the other vitC serums.

[mommyxthree]

*himalaya facial scrub as my foam wash or VMV cleanser
*COSRX BHA/VMV toner (alternate days 3 times a week)
*LJH tea tree
*welcos mask (once a week)
*nature republic aloe vera gel
*mizon snail recovery gel
*VMV moisturizer

[justuazon]

Any cheap korean cleansing oil you can recommend?

[ireneeey]

Anyone who has tried both Mizon snail recovery gel cream and CosRX snail essence? Which is more preferable?

[honeybunny]

^me! I got the mizon snail recovery gel, cosrx snail essence and cosrx snail AIO cream. The last 2, samples lang meron ako. I used both cosrx snail essence and AIO ng sabay for a week. Nag break out ako and it clogged my pores. I don't know alin sa 2 ang nag cause. I stopped using them and takot na ako to try them again to see which ones really caused my breakout. Sa reddit, may mga reviews na cosrx snail essence broke them out too.

So far, i am loving my mizon snail recovery gel. Mababa lang ang concentration ng snail (74%) than the cosrx snail essence pero i am loving it. Mabilis mag heal yung pimple na pinprick ko.

[babyjham]

Hindi ko alam sino ang salarin pero tinubuan ako ng pimples bandang kilay at baba wah. Eto yung daily routine ko since i started k-beauty routine for about 2 months na rin. Before that dove soap lang gamit ko. My skin is more on the oily side and occasionally pimples here and there pero hindi grabe. Sensitive skin din kaya johnsons baby powder lang pinaka nilalagay ko sa face ko then eyeliner and lipgloss kase mabilis magkapimples.

Hindi ko pa naiintroduce ang step kase isa isa ko pa silang pinapasok.

AM
- cosrx low ph good morning cleanser
- cosrx bha/aha clarifying treatment toner
- cosrx advanced snail92 all in one cream

PM
- banila co (pink)
- cosrx low ph good morning cleanser
- cosrx bha/aha clarifying treatment toner
- cosrx advanced snail mucin essence
- skinfood black raspberry eye cream
- cosrx advanced snail92 all in one cream

So eto na, since nasa Myeongdong for two weeks, nanghoard ako ng mga cc cushion and some stocks ng cosrx particularly yung cosrx rice sleeping mask. I don't know if yung pag gamit ko ng 12 days ng Innisfree cc cushion ang nagpa pimples sakin, yung init ng Pinas+cc cushion+sensitive skin or yung pag introduce ko ng cosrx rice sleeping mask for 3 days. So ginawa ko inalis ko yung dalawa. Balik ulit ako sa johnsons baby powder and no sleeping mask muna.

Products to try since yung mga pimples ko matagal mag fade and gusto ko na rin ma feel mag make up gosh lol

- cosrx bha blackpower liquid
- dear, klairs freshly juiced vitamin drop
- benton snail bee high content essence ( ubusin ko lang cosrx essence then try ko to since it makes pimples shrink daw)
- innisfree jeju volcanic toner (switch muna ako parang walang effect kase saken si cosrx bha/aha toner
- cosrx aha whitehead power liquid

Sorry kung mahaba, i'm new to this talaga and dito lang ako nakakakuha ng ideas, mga same skin type ganon.

[Ireneeeeee]

im really loving the cosrx honey overnight mask ngayon. maganda sya nakakaglow. pinahinga ko muna si naruko tea tree gel as night moisturizer kahit love ko rin yun at nakaubos na ako ng isang small tub..
