Celeteque DermoScience Hydration Facial Moisturizer and Alcohol-Free Toner + Skin Care Tips

Hello ladies! :)

I know I promised to update this blog as often as possible, but I got sick with an illness that is really bad for a skin care fanatic like me, chickenpox. :( I wasn't even able to attend my graduation, though it was not like I wanted to attend in the first place because several unfortunate things happened to me, too. It was better not to post it here as it would have only gotten bad vibes. Oh well, life must still go on. And mind you, I had a great birthday, even though I had flu. (Yes, after the chickenpox episode, I got flu, talk about "lucky".)

So anyway, I want to review my favorite Celeteque DermoScience products. It really has made my face better, believe me!

Celeteque DermoScience Hydration Facial Moisturizer (with Triple Moisturizing System)

Celeteque DermoScience Hydration Facial Moisturizer

When I was searching for ways on how to make my skin better, I came across with the basic skin care regimen: cleanse, tone and moisturize. Before, I didn't bother following this, particularly the moisturizing part because I felt that I didn't need to because my skin was already oily.

But I soon learned that sebum was different from moisture. I read that moisturizing had several beneficial effects such as keeping your face oil-free (of which I was really surprised) and protecting your skin further against dirt.

However, there were several types of facial moisturizer. For someone with an oily skin type like me, you would need a water-based and oil-free moisturizer, since putting an oil-based moisturizer would tend to make your face oilier. At least, that was what I've found on my research.

So, there I went looking for products with these descriptions. Several beauty gurus on the net would suggest Celeteque. I went for it because aside from the fact that it fitted the description, it was right on my budget. I bought the travel pack first which contained sample sizes of facial cleanser, toner and moisturizer, and guess what, I was hooked. I bought it over and over again. And shortly after that, Celeteque DermoScience was introduced with improved products.

Ingredients (Click to enlarge the photo)

Pros:

- Made my face smoother and had less pimples.

- Made my skin soft and supple.

- Keeps my skin moisturized.

- Water-based and oil-free.

- Non-comedogenic, hypo-allergenic and fragrance-free. Recommended for ladies with sensitive skin.

- Contains Aloe Vera extract which soothes the skin and provides best moisture.

- Can be used during day and night, even during hot summer days. Originally, I was only using this at night due to fear that my face might become excessively oily during the day. But I tried using it during the day too, and I was more than happy that I tried because my face became better. It even helped in applying makeup. However, note not to put too much during the day if your skin is already oily.

Directions for Use (Click to enlarge  photo)

- Non-greasy and easily absorbed by the skin.

- Shows manufacturing and expiry date both on the box and the bottle.

- Affordable at P127 for 50ml and P210 for 100ml.

Cons:

- None for me. :)

Celeteque DermoScience Hydration Alcohol-free Toner

Celeteque DermoScience Hydration Alcohol-free Toner

Before, I used toner primarily to rid my skin of dirt. Sometimes, I used it before cleansing my face and most of the time without cleansing my face. I thought that was enough. How wrong I was, oh well.

But hey, I now know what it is for. Aside from removing excess sebum and dirt after washing your face, it is also used to shrink pores. It also preps the skin for moisturizing.

On my research back then, they say that an alcohol-free toner worked best for our skin because alcohol strips out moisture from our skin. In fact, according to sites, there are different types of toners. There are those face freshners, tonics and astringents. Freshners have the lowest content of alcohol and astringents with the highest content of alcohol.

But of course, for an oily skin type lady like me, little alcohol will help, but I still choose to use an alcohol-free toner. It is because we change skin types from time to time and depending on the season (particularly for ladies on countries with four seasons). If too much alcohol is used, not only sebum would be removed from the face, but also moisture. So ladies, be aware of what products you use on your face. :)

Pros:

- Alcohol-free. Recommended for ladies with sensitive to dry skin.

- Removes dirt on my face thoroughly without drying the skin. However, note not to overdo it by applying the cotton ball or pad roughly on your face. Always use a light and gentle hand.

- Can be used day and night. But I only used it at night. Heehee.

Directions for Use

- Contains Witch Hazel Extract. This extract helps in drying zits up and soothing the skin. They say that it even helps in shrinking eyebags.

Ingredients

- Shows manufacturing and expiry date both on the box and the bottle.

- Affordable at P82 for 65ml and P129 for 125ml.

Cons:

- I'm actually not sure if it helps in shrinking my pores, but then I'm not also sure that every toner is supposed to do that.

Review: Etude House Happy Teatime Green Tea Cleansing Foam

The review for today is the all-time favorite product from Etude House--Happy Teatime Cleansing Foam.

This cleansing foam comes in five variants. Out of these five, I've already used two, the Milk Tea and Green tea variants. The first one I got was Milk Tea. I was meaning to review that one too, but I already finished the bottle and I didn't get any pictures. Hehehe. I was really busy the past months.

Happy Teatime Green Tea Cleansing Foam (P148, 150ml)

Anyway, when I bought Milk Tea, I didn't know that each variant was suitable for a specific need or skin type. I thought each worked the same way as the other and was suitable for all skin types, so I based my purchase on the scent. And I really like Milk Tea's light, powdery scent.

But after looking at Etude House Philippines' site, I read that each variant caters to a certain skin type and need.

Milk Tea - Moisturizing and smoothing formula with Milk Tea extract 

Lemon Tea - Vitalizing and nourishing formula with Lemon Tea extract 

Green Tea - Pore cleansing and oily shine relief with Green Tea extract 

Peach Tea - Brightening and clarifying formula with Peach Tea extract 

Aloe Tea - Moisturizing and complexion health formula with Aloe Tea extract 

So, even though I really liked Milk Tea, I've got to try Green Tea because it's for pore cleansing and oily shine relief because my skin is oily. And anyway, when I asked the boyfriend which smelled better the Milk Tea or Green Tea, he told me it was the latter so I gave it a go. And hey, I'm liking Green Tea a lot! :)


Pros:

• Affordable at P148 for 150ml product. My first bottle lasted me three to four months.

• Mild on skin. It does not dry my face and break me out.

• Has a nice cool and refreshing scent.

• Really foamy. The consistency of the product is thick, and when lathered on wet face, it becomes really foamy. You'll really only need a pea-size of the product for every use.

• Helps in oil control. I think this one contributes to the many oil control products I'm using to keep my face shine-free because the label says it contains hydrated silica.

Click to enlarge and read details about the product

Cons:

• None that I could think of for the moment. I think I'm gonna stick to this cleansing foam for long. :)

Now I really know why it's an all-time fave product of our princes and princesses out there. :) I'm even planning to try Happy Teatime Cleansing cream and wipes. :D I'll give this product 5/5. :)

Collective Haul + Mini Reviews

Well, hello there! Gosh, it has already been, what? More than a month, almost two, since the last time I posted. Time really flies by so easily, ain't it? But anyway, it's nice to be back for a while. :)

And here's another haul post! LOL. I don't really want a lot of haul posts in this blog, but I really can't do a review for each and everyone. I mean, because of this haul posts, I'm able to do mini-reviews on all products including those that I overlook and forget to review.

So here, we go! :)

Human Heart Nature Sunflower Beauty Seed Oil (P129.75)
Human Heart Nature Intensive Hair Mask (P99.75)

First on the line are these two. This is my second bottle of Sunflower Beauty Seed Oil. I mainly bought it to lighten my underarms. I can't say much about the progress, because I don't closely monitor it. LOL. But I think it's working together with the body scrub and whitening lotion I use because the dark spots on my legs are lighter than before. Yes, I also use it for those dark spots. :)

Next up is the Intensive Hair Mask. It smells like the menthol candy Stork or Dynamite if you ask me. LOL. It also has that minty feel whenever I use it on my hair. And yes, it makes my hair soft as if I used a conditioner, only this one is all natural which is quite healthy. :) However, I notice that I experience more  hair fall whenever I apply it on my hair. But after that rinsing, everything's back to normal. And I have softer hair. :D Unfortunately, this 50-gram product can only be used 2 to 3 times for medium-length and long hair.

Celeteque Dermoscience Hydration Facial Moisturizer (P129.75)

This is also my second bottle of Celeteque Facial Moisturizer. And this is my first facial moisturizer. I've never used any moisturizer before this because I have the notion that I already have an oily face and I don't need this anymore. How wrong I was! This has done wonders to my face. And I'm gonna put that in a separate review. :)

San San Lipstick Hydrating Dew 04 (given to me by my sister)
Avon Ultra Moisture Rich Lipstick Island Glow
Nyx Round Lipstick in Femme
Nyx Round Lipstick in Nyx

Of these four, SanSan lipstick is the only one I haven't tried wearing outside because it's Red. Yes, I'm quite timid in wearing red shades because I don't feel it's appropriate for school. (Yeah, the other colors are appropriate. :P) But true to its name, it's hydrating and I might try that one day. :) My fave among these is the Avon UMR lipstick because Island Glow has a good color payoff.

As for the Nyx, I also like them, has good color payoff. It's just that I feel that there are better colors that'll suit me that I don't know why I bought these two. LOL.

Maybelline MakeUp Remover (P99)
Glam Works Hair Removal Soothing Lotion (P99)

I still have the Ever Bilena Advance MakeUp Remover but I bought Maybelline because the latter stings my eyes which is a very big no-no for me. And so far, I'm liking Maybelline. It doesn't sting plus this works better than my former Sophie Martin makeup remover. My mascara and eyeliner are easier to remove with this one.

As for the Glam Works Hair Removal Soothing Lotion, I haven't really used it enough to give any comments since I've only used it once.  :D

Tony Moly Cutie Beauty BB Cream 02 Pure Angel Amy (P350)
Skinfood Good Afternoon BB Cream Peach Green Tea (P411)

And finally, my favorites from this haul post. :D BB creams! :D

I've been using Etude House BB Magic Cream (Refreshing) for 7 or 8 months now. Yes, it still has a small amount left on it. I even cut the squeeze bottle just so I could use it all up. Cheapskate me. LOL. :D I love it, but I guess it's time for me to move on from it now. Eight months is long enough that sometimes you'll want something new. Prolly that's why some people just buy and buy new BB creams even if they still haven't used them all up. But I'm cheapskate and I don't have money to spend on more BB creams right now. :D

I bought this mainly for its description that said it's an oil-controlling and mattifying BB cream. Plus, it's just right for my budget. Anyway, I'll save the specifics for another post. :) On the other hand, I wanna tell of how it went with Skinfood store in Megamall. I went right there to see and test this BB cream out even if I had planned on buying it on eBay. (Store prices are double of what online sellers offer. -_- )

I didn't see it on the shelf so I asked the beauty advisor if they have this one and her answer embarrassed me. -_- She told me that the Good Afternoon BB line might not be from Skinfood. For goodness' sake. -_- I even braved going in on the empty store.

This one belongs to my sister. I believe it's suitable for dry skin. We just combined shipping so we'll save more. :)

BB cream and skin care samples

I wanted to try more BB creams so I'll know what to buy next after using my current BB cream all up. Half of these are included in our purchases, while half, mostly skin care samples, are freebies from the eBay seller bhappywithme. We bought the Skinfood and TonyMoly plus these samples from her. Thanks for the freebies. :D

Nivea Whitening Cell Repair Protect Body Milk 40x (P199 for 250ml)

The body milk from the same brand and line that I bought last December was already empty so I had to buy again. I wish skin care wouldn't have to be so costly. -_- But anyway, I love using this lotion. It's non-sticky and greasy and it's easily absorbed by the skin.

Maybelline Clear Smooth All in One Foundation  (P119 for refill)

I bought this as replacement for the Maybelline Clear Smooth Extra Shine Free Foundation (the blue one). Basically, I didn't get the full version (?) of this Clear Smooth All in One foundie because I've read reviews that the foundie easily breaks. And it's not really fun using broken foundies. Most of the time, whenever that happens to me, I don't use it anymore. Sayang naman ang pera kung ganoon diba? But so far, I've been using this for more than a month now and it's not yet broken. I just already see the signs that it's gonna break sooner or later. O_O

Etude House Lip and Eye Remover (sample size)
Tony Tint (sample size)

First of all, I bought this from another eBay seller (NOT bhappywithme) and I have this suspicion that the makeup remover is fake. First, it smells like the 'spraynet'. (Do you remember that thing you spray on your hair then it'll get hard?) Second, it has bubbles in between the blue liquid and the colorless liquid. But overall, it works fine in removing my makeup and it doesn't sting my eye. So my question is, is that normal for the EH makeup remover? Because from what I see from the store, it's not like that at all. Plus, the blue liquid from the EH makeup remover from the store is 'blue-r'.


As for the Tony tint, I think it works fine. I haven't really tried the full one yet from the local store.


So there you go again for this long haul post. I hope the mini reviews are helpful. I'm off to study again.


Ciao~!

My Little Christmas Skin Care Haul: Watsons, Saizen and Snoe Beauty

Warning: This haul post is a bit longer than normal. LOL. LovePeaceYo. v^_^

Hiya folks! The Christmas rush is all over the malls. And since it's Christmas, it's really nice to go shopping not only because people have money during this time of the year (hello, christmas bonus and 13th month pay--though I didn't really receive either because I'm not locally employed. LOL.), but also because there are lots of sales and bazaars going on. It's simply is the best time to shop!

And since I'm into caring for my damaged skin (particularly on the legs), it's only necessary that I invest on its restoration. And hopefully, those dark spots will heal. It has already been a year since I wore shorts outside. :(

First stop was Watsons. My go-to store when I'm bored. LOL.

I was looking for a new body lotion that had whitening properties for those dark spots. Actually, I was going to buy either St. Ives or Jergens, but the boyfriend told me to go for the new Nivea Extra Whitening Cell Repair Protect (because we both saw it on a TVC and thought it was good. LOL.) Plus, it was on sale at 20% off. And so far, I'm loving the scent. It's also not sticky and greasy which is a plus for me. :D

Nivea Extra Whitening Cell Repair Protect 400ml (P294--20% discounted)
Cream Silk reConstruct Damage Control (P102)
Yoko Spa Milk Salt (P68)
Purbasari Lulur Mandi Putih 135g (P79)

And yeah, I got two body scrubs. I haven't tried both though I already used another Yoko variant. And I was supposed to buy the Asian Secrets Lulur but I didn't see it on the rack. But the Purbasari Lulur Mandi Putih was good, already tried it. It even smells like the Avon Moisture lotion. Y'know, I'm really finding ways to lighten those dark spots. I'm even using Sebo de Macho now. LOL. :D

Cream Silk is my fave conditioner. Since I don't have a rebonded-straight hair, I always see to it that my hair is not so frizzy. It's not skin care but still... Hehehe.

Second stop was Saizen. I'd been looking forward to this day when I was able to visit this store. It's in Robinson's Galleria kasi eh and I'm always in SM Megamall. Hehehe.

Everything at P85

The first thing I got was the Charcoal Nose Pack. I really wanted to try this. Hope it works on me. I also got a pack of oil blotting papers. I thought it was super affordable for P85 because it had 250 sheets. But it's just your ordinary oil blotting paper. I like sheets similar to those of Gatsby's.

This shows only four because I've given one to my sister. :D

But of the stuffs I bought in this haul, the best was the Facial tissue pack. Yes! I always carry with me tissue because I don't bring a hanky. I always lose them, so to prevent that from happening, tissue na lang. This big Facial tissue pack contains 5 small packs with 250 pulls each. Amazing. LOL. If you do the math, each pack costs only P17 for 250 pulls of quality facial tissue. :D

Last stop was Snoe Beauty. It was near Saizen in Robinson's Galleria and was really happy to see it. I think the first time I saw their kiosk was near Watson's. And that was before the 'Snoe craze' began. I actually braced myself from buying that time because I thought I would find a review first. And boom! Suddenly, the Internet has been all about Snoe.

Here Comes the Sunblock (P199)
Snoe White Exfoliating Oatmeal beauty bar (P139)

I was just going to check their products, but I couldn't help myself from buying stuffs. So there, I bought the No. 9 Exfoliating Oatmeal beauty bar and Here Comes the Sunblock. I haven't tried the beauty bar yet, but the sunblock smells so good that I bought it. LOL. It smells like my Ralph by Ralph Lauren for Women Eau de Toilette Spray, only the sunblock smells a bit sweeter.

Snoe White Milk Scrub also looks really promising. I was even tempted to buy it but I remembered that I already bought two body scrubs. Baka masyado na numipis ang balat ko niyan. LOL. But I'll note to try this body scrub in the near future. :D

So, there you are for this long haul post. LOL. Dunno if I'll be able to post a makeup haul with all these stuffs I bought. LOL.

Review: Avon Naturals Bearberry Yoghurt Facial Mask

I love facial masks! I know I haven't posted any reviews about them yet, but I really like using one since I've tried Etude House and Tony Moly face masks.

Avon Naturals Bearberry Yoghurt Facial Mask

But this one is not about those two brands. This review is for Avon Naturals Bearberry Yoghurt Facial Mask. I think this one is new, along with the Cucumber variant, because I haven't seen them before except for the last four or five brochures released. I'm not actually fond of purchasing skin care products from Avon, but I've felt that I need to try this. (or something like that)

Actually, the first time I saw it, I ordered Cucumber but my mom's Avon lady weren't able to get one. But once I've registered as a FD (thanks to my classmate's mom) for personal purchases, I've made sure to get one. However, I notice that only the Bearberry variant is always available on the shelves.

The packaging is similar to the Etude House I Need You Yoghurt except that the Avon Naturals Bearberry Yoghurt comes in a box.

The box says:

"A refreshing facial mask that instantly lightens skin. This special formulation is made with bearberry extracts and yoghurt to moisturize and stimulate skin turnover to make skin tone look less dull and helps reduce dry skin texture. Its microbeads helps remove dry and flaky skin to reveal fair skin. Thus, skin looks refreshed and naturally fair."

I find Bearberry really thick and creamy. Actually, if I don't know that it's a facial mask, I just might eat it. LOL. And it's true! You can actually mistake this one for an edible yoghurt. And adding to the confusion is the smell. It smells like strawberry! (I know it's bearberry, but I haven't had one and I think it smells like strawberry. LOL.) The smell, the consistency and texture is indeed very similar with a strawberry yoghurt.

And as you can see, there is even a warning that the product is really not edible. LOL.

Click to enlarge photo and read details about the product

I've been using this product for a month now, twice every week, and so far, I didn't have any breakout. I even have lesser pimples now. ;) It is also a good moisturizer. My face feels smooth, soft and supple after every use. Not bad, really. :) Plus, it is said to have instant whitening properties though I'm not really after that.

And it's only P120 for 40g! One box lasted me a month and I use it two times a week. If you do the math, I use about half of one container for every use. I just don't feel like stuffing the whole 10g on my face. LOL. That's just too much, I guess. Currently, I'm using it alternately with my Tony Moly Appletox Smooth Massage Peeling Cream. :)

Review: Gatsby Oil Clear Sheet

I just felt that I wanted to make a product review again, so I got my make up kit and saw my everyday oily face savior--the Gatsby Oil Clear Sheet.

Update: Around P100 P119.25 for 70 sheets

I've been meaning to do a review on this one ever since I purchased it, but always kept forgetting to. If you've read some of my posts, you would've probably come across me complaining about my oily face over and over again. LOL. But if you are one, you'll know how we, girls, with this type of skin, will craze over products that claims to reduce oil.

Mine really looks tattered. :P

And what product can instantly make your oily face refreshed on a hot humid day but an oil blotting paper. :D It's definitely your face's friend!

There are several oil blotting sheets in Watsons, but I chose Gatsby Oil Clear Sheet because, among other products, it looks promising and is, if I remember correctly, cheaper than Clean and Clear Oil Control Film, not to mention that it catches your attention with its Japanese packaging.

UPDATE: I checked Watsons for these items (Gatsby and Clean and Clear) and found out that Clean and Clear was only P117, but that was for only 60 sheets. So, technically, Gatsby would be cheaper since it had 70 sheets.

And since I can't read Japanese, I browsed a little and found out that it removes oil from deep inside pores with its advanced micro holes. You can enlarge the picture below to see those micro holes by clicking on it.

See the microholes for better oil absorption?

And hey! It didn't let me down. It easily absorbs oil from my face with a single swipe. And actually, I consume all the space on the sheet for my whole face. LOL. The sheet always looks icky after it has made contact with my face.

NOTE: This sheet is swiped only once across my nose. LOL.

Another thing, the sheet does not tear, even after trying to tear it off. I tried my best and failed on that. LOL.

That's all. What can I say more but it's definitely a great product. I'm going to purchase it again. And I really recommend it to sisters (and even brothers) out there who have an oily skin type like me. If I'm to give it a rating, it's 5/5. :D

Review: Etude House Vita Foam Mini No. 3 Bite Me

I bought the Vita Foam Mini No. 3 Bite Me during the Etude House Grand Sale last June along with the Yogurt Peel Cleansing Foam. I used the latter first, so it was only a month ago that I started using the Vita Foam Mini.

Vita Foam Mini No. 3 Bite Me (P148)

Out of the six variants, I chose Bite Me because it has Vitamin E which I was quite sure of very good for the skin. Other variants contain Vitamin A, B, etc. I guess you have to choose the variant which your skin needs most.

60 ml

The container says that Bite Me has...

"Vitamin E and Orange Fragrance.
Vitamin formulated facial foam cleanser supplies a thorough scent with a pleasant scent."

The Vita Foam Mini No. 3 Bite Me also promises an orangey scent. And it really does smell like one and I love it! The scent alone makes me feel refreshed. :) If my eyes are not playing tricks on me, I could also see small beads on this facial foam. These small beads melt as soon as you lather it on your face.

However, at first, I didn't find it as foamy as the EH Yogurt Peel Cleansing Foam and I was a bit disappointed. I found that I needed more than a pea size of the product to have that foamy experience I had with the Yogurt Peel Cleansing Foam.

Perhaps, can you see the small beads?

And since I also wanted to try Celeteque (and I couldn't wait to try it,  LOL), I used this Vita Foam along with the Celeteque Facial Wash with Natural Moisturizing Factor. My regimen was to use the Vita Foam in the morning and Celeteque at night. When I ran out of Celeteque (since I only bought the travel kit for trial purposes), I decided to use the Vita Foam alone. And sad to say, I got break outs more than usual. With that, I bought the big Celeteque Facial Wash, and there it went, after a day or two, my face was back to normal.

I don't think I'll buy this one in the near future. And anyway, I've already bought the Etude House Happy Teatime Cleansing Foam Milk Tea which is larger (150 ml) but costs the same as Vita Foam Mini. I can't wait to try it! ;)


P.S. I just want to let you know that I may not be able blog more often for the next few months this year and next year since I'm graduating and taking review subjects for the CPA board exam. Additionally, I would like to congratulate my batchmates and friends from my former school UE who have recently passed the licensure exam. It feels good to know someone who have topped the board. LOL. I'm next! :D

Review: Tony Moly Appletox Smooth Massage Peeling Cream

Hiya all! In case you're wondering what's with all these posts suddenly, well, I just want to take advantage of the time I have before I review for the Final exams. LOL. Yeah. I kinda don't want review right now. Hehehe. :P

So, here's a review again. And this time, it's from Tony Moly--the other product besides Tomatox, the Appletox Smooth Massage Peeling Cream. I got this from my mini haul last July.

Yeah, I actually don't know why Tomatox is more popular than this one, when in fact they are equally interesting. Hmmm...but probably, it's with Tony Moly's advertising, dontcha think?

Anyway, let's go to what we can easily see--the packaging. But of course! The Appletox Smooth Massage Peeling Cream stands out along with the Tomatox and Appletox Honey Cream. They're just great. I really, really love it! <3 In fact, the boyfriend told me to give him the apple packaging after I'd used up all the cream. He even had this crazy idea of putting the cream in another container, so that he could have the apple container and use it as a paperweight. I was like no, no, no! LOL.

Next, the smell is really nice. Really, really nice. Aren't I in love with the product? LOL. It actually smells like apple--subtle yet sweet and fresh. Sometimes, I actually want to eat a real apple while using the cream. LOL.

And of course, the cream. I've used this product for more than two months already for my face. So far, I haven't had breakouts because of it. I also think that it does its best peeling the dead skin cells away and bringing a supple, soft and smooth skin. I could also feel my face always hydrated and moisturized afterwards. Additionally, according to Tony Moly, it also promises to enliven the skin through its massage function.

Tony Moly Philippines actually says that the product is...

"...a multi-functional that effectively removes dead skin cells and doubles up as a massage cream with a nourishing pack function. Containing green apple extract, AHA, and papaya extract, this Appletox pack provides excellent exfoliation of dead skin cells and aged keratin. Skin is kept smooth and radiant.

• Specialized for the ladies who want strong exfoliation for uneven skin tone, bright skin and enhance skin complexion. 

•  From massage cream to moisturizer to exfoliator. Also recommended for ladies who needs immediate skin rehydration. 

•  Improved moisturization and skin protection."

Directions for Use:

I just followed the advice of Tony Moly Philippines on how to use it. Actually, the beauty advisor told me to generously apply it on the skin, massage it until the cream peels off, and wash with warm water. She also told me that I could use it on other parts of the body. That's actually correct based on Tony Moly's instructions.

However, I also asked her how often should I use it and she told me that I could use it everyday. I actually believed her, but while talking with my sister I realized that if it was an exfoliator, then it shouldn't be used everyday, right.

So, there. Good thing I found about that early and confirmed with Tony Moly Philippines that it should only be used twice or thrice a week like the Tomatox.

1. Use your facial cleansing foam and dry your skin thoroughly.
2. Apply the Appletox cream on your face (or any other body area) generously.
3. Spread and massage it onto the skin for 1~2 minutes.
4. Leave on for about 30 seconds.
5. Wash with lukewarm water.

Peeling starts

And oh, did I say that it's only P528.00? It's cheaper by twenty bucks compared to Tomatox. I'm regularly using it every three days, yet I'm thinking that it'll still last for a month. If I'm correct, I'll be using up this product for more than 3 months, not bad huh?

There you go. That's it for Tony Moly Appletox Smooth Massage Peeling Cream. And I would like to recommend it to everyone who wishes to have an even skin tone, moisturized, soft and supple skin. If I'm to give it a rating, I'll give it a 9/10. Great! ;)
