Sisses please help me.

What is the texture of BRTC vit c ampoule? Is it watery like OST vit c serum or is it cloudy like the Missha borabit ampoule?

Per blog reviews kasi parang watery siya like OST vit c serum pero the one I bought parang iba

[justuazon]

Sis babyjham, I think you don't need to use the cosrx aha/bha clarifying treatment toner since it's a pH adjusting toner and you already use a low pH cleanser. I suggest you look for a hydrating toner.
Edit: And also yung sunscreen. Make sure you have a solid foundation (cleanser, toner moisturizer and sunscreen) before you introduce actives.

@justuazon

Thanks sis for suggesting sunscreen. Ang sticky kase eh haha tsaka mga ilang minutes ba before ipahid yung next step? Dito ako napupuyat tumatagal ako ng 1-2hrs pag sa gabi eh kakahintay matuyo lol.
Re toner: nabasa ko isang poster dito na maganda effect ng Innisfree jeju volcanic toner sa kanya and skin type niya is sensitive din so try ko yun pag dating. Pano ba mag patch test ng isang product? Thanks guys!

[justuazon]

^ Matagal ma-absorb? Baka you need to exfoliate
Sa pag-patch test naman, yung iba half face inaapply or apply it on areas kung san nagbbreakout ka. 1-2 weeks. Then full face na. Minsan, i don't follow this pag impatient ako haha

[katniss]

@honeybunny: nag-breakout din ako when I tried sample of cosrx advanced snail mucin essence! pero kasabay nya kasi yung rice overnight sleeping mask. parang may white na nakaclose na malaking bump! pero feeling ko yung cosrx advanced snail mucin essence ang salarin. lol. so tinanggal ko muna sya

@babyjham: yung lowph cleanser ng cosrx, tinubuan ako dyan ng maliliit na pimps na may puti sa ibabaw so i stopped using it na. pati yang snail mucin, as mentioned. maybe you want to remove these two from your routine.

btw, i bought centella blemish cream and ost 21.5 vit c serum. nakalagay after toner sya ilalagay, so alin sa dalawa ang dapat mauna? pano yung essence? after toner pa rin ba tapos saka yang dalawa? please advise! thank you!

[babyjham]

Hi sino na pong naka try ng Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Off? Jusme nag patch test ako kagabe, haha pagkagising ko tatlong pimples kaagad ahahaha wahhh

[yellowminion]

^really sis. That's my favorite scrub/wash of mask. It melts in your skin and the keeps the skin really smooth after.

My iba ka pa bang ginamit na product aside from this which changed your routine?

What I like about Korean skin care is it softens my skin and seldom na nai-iritate my sensitive skin.

[Miss Granger]

Hello,

meron akong friend na uuwi from korea, and she's asking if what product is the best to hoard? and ipapabili ko na din sa kanya.

Thanks!

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.

May alcohol content ba yung Mizon? Im looking for a moisturizer kasi para if dry yung face. Pero di naman laging dry face ko e. Kaso yung area around my nose. Maitim siya. Huhu. Laging dry.

[minatay91]

What's a good brand na cushion foundation? I heard Laneige is good but I wont get it coz I read na Laneige is extremely fragranced and perfumed.
Is Missha any good? My skin type is normal-dry, and I'm hoping it will survive humidity (our outdoor weather) hehe

Naka sale cosrx products sa watsons sm north ,nakita ko lang kahapon until May 24.
Plan to buy cosrx cushion and pimple pads.
Also ibang korean items sa watsons naka sale din.

[katniss]

super ganda ng centella blemish cream! as in lumiliit mga pimples in just two days nawawala na.

My recent post here wasn't been approved 🙁...
Anyways, i give in to try korean skincare again since my current routine didn't really deliver what i've been expecting. And i lack some moisturizer kaya my face was very oily yet dehydrated.

Done patch test on CosRx oil free moisturizer and BHA, no irritation or sudden pimples. So i used the moisturizer for a week then slowly introduced BHA the following week. I also replace my current facial wash, the previous one im using is more on hydrating and has high ph which clogged my pores more. So i opt for some low ph cleanser which is Himalayas herbal neem face wash (its not korean actually) but was one of the reco face wash in AB/reddit and its cheap😊.. Then some biore sunblock(also not korean) during daytime. I stop using toner for the meantime, instead used konjac sponge every other night during cleansing. I did noticed some slight changes like my skin isn't that oilier like before, lesser clogged pores especially blackheads which im very prone to. And for active pimples, i put some CosRX pimple patch..
Im planning to buy the following to add in my routine:😊 (Of course patch test first then add one by one every week)

Benton snail high content essence
Banila co cleanse it zero sherbet cleanser (1st cleanser)
CosRX honey moisturing overnight mask or Mizon snail recovery cream (im torn which is better)
CosRX AHA/BHA clarifying toner (im not actually sure if i really need this maybe to prep my skin before BHA.. Im still observing how my skin will react if i increase the usage of my BHA, for now im
using it twice a week..

has anyone of you tried It's skin power 10 products?  ano effect sa inyo mga sis? nagorder ako ng VC effector from Althea, sana okay siya sakin.

I also bought the green one, sabi ng officemate ko parang nagglow daw mukha ko. 

[tischarmedlife]

My faves from It's Skin are the WH effector (white bottle that has Arbutin) and VC effector (yellow bottle, Vitamin C), same as yours. Glowing nga din daw ako although that did not happen overnight. Mga 2 weeks na yata bago may nakapansin sa office na mas bright at makinis daw ako.

[ganda01]

Hi Mga Sis,

[textspeak!] ano mga Korean product ba ang dapat ma try ko ? yun 10 steps na Korean beauty regimen na ginagawa . Thank you

[wednesdei]

Mga sis may Cosrx ultimate nourishing rice overnight mask ba sa watsons? Nung tumingin kasi ako sa watsons sa sm moa yung pimple pads, yung honey mask saka yung cushion lang ang nakita ko. Hindi ko alam kung sold out lang ba or kung yun lang talaga yung cosrx products na available sa watsons.

Binili ko na lang yung honey na overnight mask. Nagamit ko na siya once and maganda naman. Refreshing sa skin saka hindi naman ako pinimples kahit sensitive ang skin ko. Sana lang mabango siya. Unscented pala. mas okay siguro kung amoy medyo honey.

[ireneeey]

Anyone who has tried Beauty Water by Son & Park? Sobrang daming raves. And I am really planning to buy this because of its multi-functional powers. Lol. Plan ko siyang gawing toner alternate with Pixi Glow Tonic at night. And gawing cleanser din pagkagising ko sa umaga. Kasi ayoko munang mag complete cleanse right after gumising. Ginagamit ko lang cleanser ko along with pagligo. And pwede din daw facial mist.

[wednesdei]

^umoder din ako nyan sa Althea dahil daming raves.

[babyjham]

About Althea, ilang weeks po before dumating ang deliveries? I ordered last May 2, and tinatrack ko ang shipping dumating na sa Philippines ng May 8.
