What products have changed your 1st cleanse game? I'm still on the hunt for a good product and I just use micellar water in the meantime.

Game changing 1st cleanse products

I have dehydrated oily skin and the Purito Deep Sea Pure Water Cream saved it. My skin loves it so much and it just suits my skin. The downsides are it comes in a really small amount (50ml) and is expensive to buy often. I slather on moisturizer so I need something that doesn't break the bank.

I researched and I believe the Isntree HA Aqua Gel Cream is somewhat similar to the Purito Cream in texture. 
Does it produce the same results? What are the similarities and differences? Is the Isntree cream a good purchase? 

Let me know your thoughts. 

Thanks for answering! ❤

Isntree HA Aqua Gel Cream vs. Purito Deep Sea Pure Water Cream

These two products are on their way to me and I can't wait for them to arrive! They are potential HGs for me so here's to hoping they are 🤞. My skin loves ceramides thus the reason for the ampoule and I currently have dehydrated oily skin, the reason for the Purito cream. Have you tried these products? What was your experience with them? If not, what are similar products in your routine? 

I love to hear your thoughts! 💚

Routine Additions

I have problems with skin texture and mild breakouts, so I bought the Isntree AHA essence to hopefully solve that. I just received it and I want to hear your thoughts:
1. Was there purging?
2. How did you add it to your routine?
3. How are the results (for those long term users)?

It's my first time to add AHAs to my routine so I'd love the input! 😁

What are your HG products for pore care (smaller pore size, less blocked pores, etc.)? I'd like to know yours. 😁😊

Mine are the Nacific Phytoniacin Whitening Essence and the Cosrx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid; I've been using these as the perfect combination for me. Make-up usually reveals my pores, but now that I've used the two products in tandem, I don't even have to put on primer.

HG Products for Pore Care

Honestly, nothing. It&#39;s a good over-all product.

This is one of the most raved about products from COSRX and I can understand why. The hydration it brings is just awesome. 😍 I&#39;m trying to skip the toning stage and just use essences. This has helped me to achieve that. Less steps but still hydrating. It also helps with skin irritations. It just soothes my skin and helps it heal.
Here are my thoughts: 
Texture: slimy and sticky when dispensed.
Application: It spreads nicely and though slimy it sinks into the skin once patted in.
Recommended usage: I honestly use this everyday AM and PM, it&#39;s just that good. It&#39;s even better when you need extra hyration for when actives are applied.

It&#39;s pricey for me. But the result is sooo good, I just close my eyes and click &quot;Place Order&quot; 😅

A few months ago, I damaged my barrier so bad that my skin itched and hurt so much I almost gave up on skincare. But this product helped a lot. Paired with a good moisturizer it repaired my barrier little by little and soothed my skin that the itching and stinging was gone in a few days. To this day, I reach for this whenever my skin feels like itching.

The tube is ginormous it takes up so much space when travelling so try to buy the smaller sizes for ease.

This moisturizer has helped to repair my skin barrier. I have oily skin so I just put on a small amount but even that is enough for my whole face and neck. This is the first moisturizer I&#39;ve used that doesn&#39;t dry out my face hours after application. My skin felt so dehydrated before but this product locked in all the moisture. I know it says on the app that it&#39;s not a good match for me but it really has helped my skin. I use this at night to lock in all the actives and treatments. 
Price: Bang for your Buck at Php 600+ 
Size: 200 ml 
Consistency-
Out of the bottle: Like a solid cream with tiny beads that melt into your skin
During application: Feels creamy and somewhat oily 
After application: It sinks into the skin in a finish that&#39;s between dewy and matte.

It doesn&#39;t really do anything other than calming and hydrating skin. Although I believe I need more time with it. I&#39;ve only used it for a week.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

-popped a pimple, ampoule soothed and calmed the area

- calmed down pimples
- my skin doesn&#39;t have that tight feeling after a night in an air-conditioned room

It&#39;s not like a *wow* product but it is good and gentle

I like this product because it&#39;s not drying to my oily skin. I struggle with acne, so this has been great for my skin.
