Skintific Brightening Moisture Gel vs. 5x Ceramide Moisture Gel

 

One thing you should be reminded of while reading this is that I have Sensitive Skin.  A skin so sensitive I can immediately tell if a product would work for me or not by using it only once!  I get itchy, rashes will appear and anti-histamine is immediately needed before it's too late.

That is why no matter how viral a product can be on Tiktok or Instagram, I can only use products with ingredients that I know are safe enough to work for my skin.  So when I was offered some Skintific products to try, I did research and these 2 products got a good pass when I saw their ingredients list before deciding to put these to test.  I mean we sensitive girlies should protect ourselves right? 

Skintific's tag line: "We Repair Your Skin Barrier."  spoke straight to my heart as the first 2 paragraphs of this blog post have described my skin condition --- weak skin barrier. I have to make sure to use products that does not only hydrate but keep it protected from external aggressors.

This is how my bare skin look after using
Skintific Brightening Moisture Gel
and
5x Ceramide Moisture Gel Review

(Can you tell the difference which side is which?)  

Before I share the answer, let me share to you my exact skin condition before testing the product for transparency. 

I suffered from eye allergies for the past month so I had to skip using eye creams and first key details about each product that I get to try ended up sleeping without using any skincare products from side effects of medicines (drowsiness!).  I noticed how my whole face suffered from my eye condition (which is healing as of writing but you can still see redness on my before photos!)  

Prior to testing, my skin looked and felt dry.  Putting on makeup was a task because the foundation tends to sink in dry patches and lines and redness occur depending on where my skin felt itchy!  

I started testing this out with a patch test at the back of my ear then once passed, I applied each product on half face for the next 2-3 weeks.   You shouldn't do it but I did it for you anyways :P

Elizabeth Arden Eye care Review

 

When I finished my Helix-D Eye Serum , I was a bit at a lot for a moment as I don't know which eye product I would use next.  Will it be better than Helix-D?  Will it work just as good?  As much as I'd love to stick on repurchasing Helix D, I am a Beauty Product reviewer and I need to test out products out in the market for YOU guys and for MYSELF --- I just want to try new products!  *lol*

Not that I am using you guys as an excuse but this is a job I gave to myself even without YOU hiring me!  I am very hardworking like that *winks*

Elizabeth Arden Advanced Ceramide Capsules

 Daily Youth Restoring Eye Serum

Php3,910.00

Available at LAZMALL

A lot of action from a little twist.

NEW Advanced Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Eye Serum visibly firms and reduces the look of crow’s feet and puffiness1 for eyes that look younger and brighter.

AMW says ---

• Easy to bring for travel - no spillage.
• Easy twist top making it easy to get the right amount of "serum" for both eyes every single time.
• Hydrates eye in an instant.
• Crows feet visibly reduced (as I have dry undereye area)
• Concealer appears better whenever I use this.
• A bit greasy at first application, it sits for a couple of minutes before it gets completely absorbed.
• This product appears to work more on the hydration area rather than reduction of eye puffiness and undereye circles.  I felt the Cream needs to work hand in hand with this serum.  

Tip: Summer Ready Quick Skincare

 

How hot does it get nowadays here in Manila?
36? 38? 39 degrees that felt like 20 degrees celsius?

I ended up getting lazier by the day to do my skincare!  But guess what?  I found a way to quickly prep my skin without adding heavy feel to the already humid weather!

The Body Shop Edelweiss Daily Serum Concentrate and Eye Concentrate Review

 

I first got The Body Shop Edelweiss Serum Concentrate for both skin and eye as a gift and I tried the Eye serum first and went on explring the rest of the line.  

The Body Shop Edelweiss Eye Concentrate 

Php1,795.00

This light, non-greasy, fast-absorbing formula also forms an invisible layer over your skin to help protect it from indoor and outdoor pollution (perfect for all you city types), which can lead to dehydration, dullness and premature skin ageing.

After using this for more than 2 months, I noticed my undereye area to be less dry even without using eye cream prior to concealer application.  The product is lightweight and gets easily absorbed under the eye area making it a nice base even before applying makeup!  Since this is a serum, it is best to follow up with your favorite eye cream for better result!  

The Body Shop Daily Serum Concentrate

Php2,795.00

This light, non-sticky, fast-absorbing formula also forms an invisible layer over your skin to help protect it from indoor and outdoor pollution (perfect for all you city types), which can lead to dehydration, dullness and premature skin ageing.

I used the Daily Serum Concentrate on day time and and follow up with my favorite Tea Tree stick. This product is perfect for hot and humid weather because it gets absorbed into skin in no time and does not leave a sticky-feel.  

Both products are best for all skin types and even sensitive skin.  I am also happy to announce both bottles are made from recyclable materials so we are keeping our skin gorgeous as we save our environment!

Have you tried any of The Body Shop skincare line?

VT Cosmetics Cica Skincare Products Thoughts

 

This product, I received last year around September or October.  I usually share just my initial thoughts since I do test a lot of skincare products but guess what?  I actually "hit the pan" on all these products from VT Cosmetics.

I tested 3 products from the Brand --

VT Cosmetics Cica Cream (Php1,200)
VT Cosmetics PRO Cica Daily Moisture Mask (Php1,290.00)
VT Cosmetics Cleansing Oil (php1,200)

Here's a quick test on the effectiveness of their cleansing oil.  The product is lightweight and does not blur my eyes.  It does remove certain waterproof makeup but as always, I can't get these close to my eyes so I do extra step on cleansing using gentle eye makeup remover for waterproof mascaras and liners.

I usually apply a good amount all over my face with eyes closed.  I gently massage the product all over making sure to be gentle on the eye area.  I lather it a bit by adding a few amount of water and after a few minutes, I would wash them all off!  The product smells good, does not sting and irritate my sensitive skin and does remove approximately 80% of my full makeup.

If I do wear very heavy makeup, I would use the same product to apply on a cotton pad and gently "melt" the waterproof makeup with cotton pad before I proceed to face wash.

A Clinically Proven Solution for Melasma is Finally HERE!

 

Let's talk about Melasma.  What is it and what does it do to your skin?

A photo of my mom who suffers from melasma for years.

Melasma is a skin condition characterized by brown or blue-gray patches or freckle-like spots you can find on your face or body.  Some are said to be in-born but you have to know there are some triggers that would cause it to darken further.  Triggers like sunlight, hormonal imbalance, pregnancy, the intake of birth control pills and using harsh chemicals on cosmetics.  These are just some of the many causes for Melasma to be more obvious.  

One example is my mom-in-law, she has a huge dark spot on her face and the dark spot was lightened all throughout pandemic as she was very religious in her skincare application and constant uses sunscreen.  But now that she is back to going out, her dark spot darkened once again even with the use of sunscreen, why?  Well, sunscreen sometimes disappears midday from sweat and constant wiping.  Even with the right skincare and usage of sunblock, preventing dark spots on skin may not be enough.  We also need to treat melasma from "within".  Just like how we take good care of our skin by applying various skincare products, we also need to eat healthily, drink lots of fluids and supplements.  Same concept!

I recently tested Pynocare and also shared a box to my mom-in-law.  I did a lot of research before taking such product.  And here are some facts that I want to share to you too.

PYNOCARE -

• Clinically-proven solution to melasma and as a partner to sunscreen in protecting the skin.  It has 3 clinical studies to supports its effectiveness. You may read the studies HERE.
• Pynocare reduces melasma or dark spots formation in just 8 weeks. 
• Pynocare has MSCC or Melasma Skin Clear Complexion Complex Formulation that deeply penetrates the inner layers of the skin to help normalize melanin levels.
• Pynocare is AN ALL-NATURAL treatment that presents NO SIDE EFFECTS.

The last statement gave me to courage to test this product out. Each Pynocare 40 Actisome contains Procyanidin + Vitamin C + Vitamin A and Vitamin E.  To those who wants to know what Procyanidin does for the body, they are abundant in dietary fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and grains.  It is a good source of antioxidant which can help clear out skin.

Sheet masking 101

 

Some of you ask me via DM if sheet masking are important.  There have been rounds of Tiktok videos saying sheet masking are useless.  

"To each their own."

I firmly believe sheet masks work!  I remembered having ultimate dry skin moment and I consistently used Hyaluronic sheet masks from Dr. Morita and it worked wonders!  I personally felt the difference so I highly recommend them.

To some who probably have normal skin, and are in very consistent with their skincare routine, maybe, you do not need this extra expense.

Sheet masking are my boost of skincare in less the time!  If you want super hydrated skin ready for an important event, they work!  That is why most makeup artist use this to prep their clients' skin instead of applying a whole round of skincare products - which, by the way is more expensive!  

At the end of the day, you do you!  I felt using sheet masks does not only improve my skin, it also helps my well-being!  I mean seriously, what fun it felt after removing the mask sheet!  I get instant soft, bouncy, smooth skin!

See?  The hydrated skin may last for only a couple of minutes but the confidence it gave me is worth it!  I felt like I won in the anti-aging department!  

How To Use Dr Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Cream

 

A lot of us are probably in-the-know when it comes to makeup correctors.  Here is a quick test ---

"Which color to use to counteract skin redness?"

3...

2...

1....

Did you get the right answer?

It is green! 

If you didn't get it, it's find.  It took me a while to really understand the concept of color correcting.  I mean not everyone is an artist (like my son!)  So, if you want to correct pimple marks or acne marks that are quite red, you use green makeup to "correct" the area before you apply foundation.  Most of the time, we use correctors like that of a concealer.  But recently, let's say fast forward to many years after, skincare is coming up with color correctors as well.  I haven't found a lot in other brands but I found it from Dr. Jart+.

Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Cream

Approx. Php1,999.00

Available at Lazada

Dr. Jart+ says ---

Cicapair Tiger Grass Colour Correcting treatment is the all-in-one treatment that includes a colour-changing capsule within the formula to cover blemishes and restore the look of the skin's strength, healthy and vitality.  It provides SPF22 PA++ protection from UV light, and it forms a dust barrier to protect the skin from the environment while enhancing the skin's viability.

AMW says---

I find this product a bit tricky to use at first because a little goes a very long way.  Putting a lot would make my skin look unnatural with dry patches (as I have dry skin).  Putting not enough won't cover skin's redness.  After trying this product out several times.  I've found the best way.

This product is best to be used after skincare.  This can be used together with your favorite sunscreen but I prefer to apply my sunscreen first then this as last step BEFORE makeup application.

Applying small amounts on key areas is the best way to apply, while skin is still hydrated from skincare, it is very easy to blend this product and add another layer if additional coverage is needed.  I also like to use this as a "spot treatment" instead of applying this cream all over face.  Why?  Because my whole face isn't red to start with, focusing only on red areas will even out my complexion thus creating healthy-looking, glowing skin.

Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Stick Balm Review

 

Have you heard about Marionette lines?

These are natural facial lines that appears due to aging.  And obviously, the next question is, how to get rid of marionette lines naturally?

Aside from doing those exercises, I like to do what the lead stars of most K-Drama does.  They pull out a stick type of balm and apply on random areas of the face and neck before they go out on a date!  I mean seriously, who wouldn't that?  I did my own research and found the brand even Meagan Trainer used on her video "Made You Look".

KAHI STICK.

Thankfully, because of Lazada and Shopee, I do not need to go to Korea to buy one or ask for someone who visit Korea to help me buy one.  I was able to buy one straight from Korea via Lazada and the price wasn't bad!

Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm

Php815.00 

Available at Lazada

Details:

• Formulated with salmon complex, collagen and sodium DNA, this moisturizing balm boasts potent anti-aging benefits and can help stimulate collagen production to restore elasticity to skin. Also infused with Jeju’s natural fermented oil to boost absorbency, it helps to prevent makeup from drying and caking through the day. Can also be used as lip balm. Apply gently around areas prone to fine lines and wrinkles.

This product is best applied all over areas of your face that tends to dry up.  I have heard reviews from fellow Filipinos who felt this product is too greasy or heavy on skin.  Yes, I agree, but this product isn't meant to be applied ALL OVER THE FACE as a face moisturizer.  This is meant to SPOT apply ONLY on areas of your face that tends to dry and maybe wrinkles are starting to show up. 

Laneige Retinol Line is Here!

 

 Retinol is good for so many reason.  It helps eliminate and reduce visible signs of aging.  Improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and it helps create better skin texture.

So why can't you find much retinol ingredient products reviewed here?  

I. AM.  SCARED.  

I have very sensitive skin and I have read various reviews on skin purging, negative reactions, etc...  I just don't have time for that yet!  I have a lot of work to do and I don't want to worry about my skin for now.

Thankfully, Korean brands are coming out with much gentle formulation of Retinol.   The first one I tried is from Innisfree and this time, Laneige.  I am biased to both brands because their products all work for me without issues!

Grateful they have a set for starters!  Laneige Perfect Renew Retinol Set

I started using the Perfect Renew Youth Retinol Pro  (Php3,450.00)

If it's for the eyes and face, that means you can literally use this ONE product for both your eyes and face!  YAY!

"A retinol cream for the entire face contains pure retinol with 95% purity to provide relief for the appearance of both pores and wrinkles in just 7 days."

 

AMW says ---

As for usage, I started applying this product in very THIN layer focusing on areas with lines and marks.  I use this product 2-3 times a week only and focuses more of using this on the eye area since I ran out of eye cream.

The area where I put the product is softer and smoother - no huge result since I've only started using this in least amount of time.  What I really noticed is how my undereye area since less tired-looking.  MORE PLUMP? I guess?  I can't find the right words but I haven't been sleeping very well lately and I expect worst looking bags - so far, it's not as bad and I have to say this is the only product I use in the area.

I am very positive this product works for me with no skin irritations, I just add a layer of calming moisturizer from Skin1004 - which I recently reviewed.  Thankfully both brands work hand in hand without much issue.

I will use the other 2 products in this set together with Perfect Renew Youth Retionol Pro for face and eyes soon!

My Skin1004 Favorites!

I review and test skincare and makeup products both for Blogs and social media for quite a while now.  A lot of people do not know, I test products professionally too!  I've worked with several brands locally who plan to bring in skincare or makeup products to our country.  Before doing so, these tester products were sent my way for testing with multiple pages of questions.  That said, I do have this really sharp sense of love and dedication in testing products!  

When I was given the chance to try on a new Korean Skincare brand that I haven't tried in the past.  I jumped to the chance immediately and tested it for almost a month!  And this particular brand isn't hard to review because I ended up liking it so much I am still using it even after review.

On the spotlight for today is SKIN1004.

As always, I always do research before I accepting products to review.  The brand is known in Korea as an award-winning hypoallergenic & natural skincare brand.  They use main ingredient like CENTELLA ASIATICA which I have tried in the past and it worked so well for me so I immediately jumped to testing the whole Madagascar Centella range which is known to be the perfect line for sensitive skin.

Not everyone, of course, can pick up a whole line immediately like I did so I will share my top Skin1004 favorites!  I want to say ALL but I have to pick my top 3!

MUST TRY SKIN1004 Product #1

MADAGASCAR CENTELLA AMPOULE

I mostly use serums instead of ampoule because for the obvious fact that most ampoules I have tried have "thicker" consistency as compared to serum.  This type of texture won't go well with our hot and humid climate.  As soon as I tried Madagascar Centella Ampoule, I was a convert! because it has the lightest texture I have tried in an ampoule.

It is light, watery, non-sticky and works so well on all skin types!

How to use?

I like to use this after cleansing and toning.  I squirt once or twice for the whole face and gently tap on my face and neck.  The product can immediately calm skin redness from my usual double/triple cleansing (My skin is very sensitive so it usually turns red after cleansing.).  After applying this ampoule, I can immediately see how my skin is calmer and has lesser red spots.  I also noticed how noticeably brighter and more hydrated my skin gets!  Best of all, there's none of the greasy, sticky-feel!

Left side of photo is DURING APPLICATION -
 the camera didn't catch the product as it gets absorbed on skin instantly. 
Right side of photo is a few minutes after application of the Ampoule. 

Biore UV Aqua Rich Light Up Essence Review

 

An SPF50 PA++++ seems like a bottle of disaster!  

That's what I thought when it comes to sunscreen in olden times, the higher the SPF, the whiter the skin and the uglier the white cast!  But coming from KAO Corporation and the brand name BIORE, I've got confidence that this product will be amazing because I have been using their other Biore sunscreen for years!  

Check out other Biore Sunscreen reviews ---

Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF50+ PA++++
Biore UV Perfect Bright Milk SPF50+ PA++++ Review

This is the latest sun screen from the brand and they get better each time!  The product still contain alcohol based from ingredients but this is NON drying.  I guess the presence of Royal Jelly extract helps!

I was expecting the texture to be translucent or milky since the term "Aqua" is there but it looks close to the previous Milky product - but this time, it is a combination of milky texture with gel-like consistency.  Once applied on face and body, you get a layer of "white" which disappears after constantly massaging and you are left with hydrated skin minus greasiness, tackiness and white cast!  None of those are there and I like how it felt comfortable and quite "cool" on skin.  This felt more like a day time moisturizer than sunblock!

Is it effective?  Well, I haven't tested these under the sun like beach but I have used this on errands day under summer sun and so far, I am still using light foundation as of the moment!  Most of all, it works as a good make up base!  My skin felt hydrated and there were days I even cheated!  I only use this sans moisturizer - do not follow me but the lazy bum in me at times won!

Overall, this is another great sunblock to use especially for our weather.  Warm, humid, rainy, sunny JUST PLAIN WEIRD :P

The Body Shop Tea Tree All-In-One Stick Review

 

Hi everyone!

I missed writing after weeks has passed.  I've been so busy preparing for some makeup training workshops plus a few event attendance.  

I am excited to share my favorite The Body Shop Tea Tree range has expanded with a new baby called The Body Shop Tea Tree All-in-One Stick!

Before I talk about the new baby, I have tried the set of Tea Tree Facial Wash and Toner and love them all!  They work especially every month I tend to have a couple of pimples before the period starts.  Ever since I use this range, no pimples visible even during monthly period for the past 3 months!

With the addition of Tea Tree All-in-one stick, I have better armor/protection for mas wearing.  I'll teach you my trick further down below.  For now I'll give a detailed review about this product.  Feel free to comment and message me for any queries!

SkinRX Lab’s MadeCera Line Review

 

Since the launch of Skincare with no frills - a.k.a. Skin RX Lab.

I immediately tested and used their dermatologic grade products made for all skin types!  I am glad they veered away from the usual 10-step Korean routine and went for a simpler route - multifunctional and effective.

The 3 products I got during the launch to test!  

The Madecera Cream (Php765.00 for 15ml tube and Php1,845 for 50ml tube) is our Skin RX Lab’s most popular product with over 1.5 millions sales globally. It’s a multi-function product that brightens, moisturizes and helps address aging. 

I also get to try the Madecera Mild Whipped Cleanser (Php895.00 for 10ml) and Madecera Sleeping Mask (Php1,095 for 50ml).  They also include some of their masks for Php115.00 per pack.  

Let us start by talking about Madecera Mild Whipped Cleanser.  

Looking at the "whipped" texture and name, don't be fooled by it.  The product is so potent and thick you can actually lather it into a big foam even with just less than a pea-size amount.  During the launch, some of the guests ask if this product can also remove makeup and I tested it out with full face makeup and true enough, it can remove all traces of makeup EXCEPT waterproof mascara and liner because I try not to get the product into my eyes.

I also like the mild scent and how it kept my skin soft and smooth without the dryness!

What about the star product from the brand Madecera cream?  I chose to use this once a day only in the morning!  I use only this product after face washing and top it with a sunblock.  I find this cream to be super potent and thick in consistency.  You have to use a little amount and apply sparingly if you don't like the heavy feel.  I felt this product is great especially on people with combination skin - you can easily look for dry areas or patches around your face and apply a good amount and you'll feel instant hydration.  The wonderful part is, hydration stayed the WHOLE DAY!  My skin never felt dry the whole day when I started using this.

How will oily-skin user feel about using this "heavy cream" product?  Don't worry, the product finishes off matte so you have this feel of a cream on your face but it doesn't look like you have anything on!  I blame our humid weather that's why this is perfect for anyone who are staying inside the air conditioned room!  If you are always outside under the sun and on the go, maybe go for the sleeping mask instead as that is lighter.

MAC Lightful C³ Emulsion and Compact Cushion Review

 

When MAC Lightful  C³  was officially released, a lot are intrigued by it because it focuses on keeping the skin plump, hydrating, glowing and best of all, perfect for everyday use!

I was able to try 2 products from the collection --- MAC Lightful  C³  Emulsion and Cushion!  

After using these 2 products for a month, I am ready to share my thoughts!

MAC Lightful  C³  Emulsion
Php 2,250.00

MAC Lightful  C³  Cushion Compact
approx. Php 2,800

Available HERE Or Rustans

MAC Lightful  C³  Emulsion ---

Instant hydration and softening with a rosy tone-up effect.  Skin appears brighter, more radiant and more even-toned, immediate and over time.

Here's what I noticed after consistently using the emulsion.  Skin feels immediately soft and smooth (like baby's bum!)  Since my skin is hydrated, it gives a glowing effect making my skin looks alive and plump!

The plump and hydration lasts for hours so I don't have issues using drying foundation because my skin is well-hydrated throughout the day.  I also noticed how my skin has an instant tone-up!  And I don't have any allergic reactions using such product.

Since I have sensitive nose, there is quite a strong fragrance for me which goes away after 10 minutes to 15 minutes.  Others will not notice this but because of my sensitivity, I really prefer skincare products to be fragrance-free - that's just me!

How to Use Gua Sha For Beginners

 

Good morning!

I woke up with refreshed skin for a couple of weeks now because I added a skincare routine I didn’t realize would make a difference on both my skin and mental health!  :P

I received this mini Rose Quartz Gua Sha from a PR KIT (sorry I can’t remember from who) but thanks!  It is such a nice yet simple skincare tool and I have been doing this 2-3 x a week.

Gua Sha is a practice of using a tool to apply pressure and scrape the skin to relieve tension. 

According to research (source: Here), here are just some of the many benefits of including Gua Sha in your routine:

• Stimulates circulation
• Helps produce collagen
• Softens fine lines and wrinkles
• Decreases puffiness
• Decreases inflammation
• Diminishes dark circles
• Temporarily tightens skin
• Brightens complexion
• Scuplts facial muscles
• Releases tightness

I noticed so many times when I started my own Gua Sha Journey.  I tend to NOT stick on a regimen if I find something tedious and I don’t see much result.  With Gua Sha, I don’t mind doing this twice or thrice weekly because of the instant relaxation I felt during the Gua Sha massage.  I can feel the release of my tension almost immediately.  I also see instant brightening!  Check out this photo after approximately 5 minutes of Gua Sha.

Innisfree Black Tea Youth Enhancing Line Review

 

RESET your skin.

That is a strong statement that caught my attention when I saw the Innisfree NEW START kit which includes 3 products from Black Tea Youth Enhancing Line.

Intensive skincare solution that quickly resets the look of skin with Reset Concentrate extracted from Jeju Black Tea, offering immediate relief effect for fatigued skin.  (Anti-aging/Brightening Functional)

“Reset” in my mind is like having a full, stress-free 8-hour sleep with a full blown skincare application the night before.  Is it possible for someone who sleeps late and uses only 3 products?  I tested this set immediately and here are the results!   

Innisfree NEW START with Black Tea Ampoule Set

 

Includes:

• Black Tea Youth Enhancing Ampoule (50ml)
• Black Tea Youth Enhancing Cream (10ml)
• Black Tea Youth Enhancing Skin (50ml)
