Filipino Skincare Gems
I, as much as anyone, absolutely love korean and japanese skincare but sometimes they can be hard to purchase and (more importantly) very expensive. So here are my (tried and tested) filipino skincare gems that are easily available in the orange and blue app! And also bcs they deserve the recognition

2% Salicylic Acid Gentle Cleanser
This one is great for those starting out with salicylic acid. It's moisturizing and non-stripping to the skin. Not to mention, very budget-friendly. There's a reason why this is a cult-fave among filipinos

Niacinamide 5%
Definitely a budget friendly niacinamide serum. This was the first skincare product I ever bought and it did not disappoint! This is great for those that are only starting out with skincare and wanna try niacinamide

MY SKIN TYPE: Sensitive Skin THOUGHTS and EXPERIENCE: I tried this set for 3 weeks and here are my thoughts. First, the facial wash. It smells like medicinal plants, the whole line actually. The formulation is quite runny and gel like. It doesn't foam as much as other cleansers but I could say that it is really gentle. It did not strip off moisture on my face and it felt baby smooth afterwards. No stinging and itchiness. Next, the toner smells so nice inspite of the medicinal plant like aroma. It feels refreshing on the face, no stinging, itchiness, or burning. Really safe for sensitive skin. The Wlliowherb ampoule, soothes my skin especially my problem area. I really love the finish and the feels of my skin after. The 5% Niacinamide is mixed with aloe vera so it did not irritated the skin. It helped cleared m blemishes and made my skin smoother. Lastly, the squalane really gave my skin the moisture that it needed. It made it more plump and glowing. I broke out recently and this set helped me improved my skin condition. I felt more confident going outside without a mask since my skin became clearer and brighter. More radiant looking. Will definitely go back to this set after I review other skincare products and will be my go-to routine for summer. 10/10.

Glow Serum (Vitamin C & E + Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide + Astaxanthin)
My go-to vitamin c serum these days. This one is amazing and not too oily (unlike other products).

When I decided to intently do skincare around this time a year ago I knew I wanted to have that ‘glow’ as the ultimate, consistent state. I wanted to care for my brown complexion as it is so instead of whitening products, when I believe I had adequate time using niacinamide products, I finally turned to try vitamin C. After trying this same local brand’s Brightening Serum I got this Glow Serum to test. - It’s easy to apply, not icky, plus fragrance-free. I make sure to pair this with sunscreen in the morning as I learned they both complement each others’ benefits and sun protection. - It costs P295 (around $5.60) per 15 mL.

✋🏻 Claim. An oat moisturizer that soothes, calms, and hydrates irritated dry skin. Suitable for all skin types. 📦 Packaging. A regular 50mL plastic tube. Period after opening (PAO) is 12 months. 🧴 Key/Notable Ingredients & Benefits. • Double Oat, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract, and Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Oil– relieves itchy skin and soothes irritation caused by dry skin conditions • Green Tea Leaf Extract – has anti-inflammatory properties that helps reduce skin irritation, redness and swelling • Sweet Almond Oil – retains skin moisture 💧 Form & Fragrance. Runny consistency, fragrance-free. It has this can-be off-putting smell that might throw off the first time user; like the solution belongs to the kitchen maybe because of the oil ingredients. The oat smell is surely in there. 🙋🏽 Experience. 🫳🏼 Skin Profile: Oily/resilient A Philippine brand @klued_ that I discovered through social media. I purchased it to support the local market, and of course, to try its effectiveness. On a still wet skin after cleansing in the evening, I immediately discerned a pretty coarse or textured film spreading it on my face. That instantly reminded me of—oats. Have been using this nightly for about three months now, even to soothe my flaring eczema on my hands, and I’m happy to report that it does quite well its purpose. Personally, no negative skin reaction. I recommend this especially for those with dry skin. Other products from this brand that I would like to try: SA gentle cleanser, and its retinol/bakuchiol serums! 💲 Price. ₱148 ($2.60~) per 50mL tube on Lazada and Shopee Philippines. Very affordable!

Salicylic Acid 2% Serum (Acne Treatment)
Already on my 2nd bottle! 10/10 on the packaging 9/10 on the effectiveness It's great for blackheads and acne control and prevention. Though it sort of dries to an oily film so the texture has much to be desired
