Etude House AC Clinic Toner

I know I've been MIA for a month. Too much work kept me busy with life. Hopefully, I could regularly visit my blog from now on. Anyways since its past I have to move on and share to you today one toner that help in decreasing those nasty zits. Introducing the Etude House AC Clinic Toner...

•  Formulated with Salicylic Acid and Hinoki Cypress extract, AC Clinic Toner clarifies and soothes troubled skin for moist, cleansed sensation all day long.
• Non-Comedogenic 
• Dermatologist Tested

Active Ingredients: Salicylic Acid and Hinoki Cypress extract

My say:

Performance: 4/5 stars

Packaging: 3/5 stars

Pricing: 3/5 stars

I love this toner because it does help in decreasing those pesky zits. Salicylic Acid does help in fighting bacteria that cause acne. I'm glad that I'm not allergic to it for this product works well for me. I used this in the morning since I'm using another toner at night. No tight-feeling nor stinging sensation after or while using it. It helps in drying out those ugly zits and calms my troubled skin. I don't like its huge glass-bottle container because I'm always on alert while holding this for I'm afraid I might dropped it. It's kinda heavy to bring along so I don't bring this with me when I go out of town or on vacation rather I transfer some of it on a small container. But I wish they just come in a plastic bottle so that even when I'm on my clumsy days it won't easily break (hehehe!). I got this on a steal price from a gtalker. She seems to be selling some of her unused stuffs and this is one of them. This comes with the facial foam and both are just Php 200! This is sold more than Php400 at Etude House stores here. So when this was sold in an amazing low price, I immediately bought it :) I think Korean products are over-priced outside Korea.

It's good to be back in my cyberhome :)

Dermstrata Erythromycin Solution

Finding the perfect product that suits your skin needs is very difficult. Trial and error will always be there. Trying stuff hoping it will give miracles and won't give any negative issues. I think this is what we should always do in finding for that right product that suits our skin. Holy Grail products are difficult to find. Finding one would mean finding a treasure that is to be kept for life. And I'm happy to tell you that I found my HG toner that suits me perfectly :) My current HG toner: Dermstrata Erythromycin Solution.

Dermstrata Erythromycin Solution

Erythromycin Solution is a topical macrolide antibiotic that is thought to improve acne by slowing the growth of bacteria on the skin. (www.drugs.com)

My say:

Performance: 5/5 stars

Packaging: 3/5 stars

Pricing: 4/5 stars

Thanks to my siblings for introducing this to me. I started using this after my first (evah!) glycolic peel at Dermstrata, a local skin clinic and spa. I'm very much happy that this help in my acne issues a lot. Ever since I've used this I have no more huge pimples. Yes I still get pimples occasionally but after a day or two, they are gone. This is to be used every night or else you may end up having a red face like my sister who never asked first how to use this. This is a derma-formulated product so they don't really thought on their packaging. I wish they give it a make-over to give it a bit of a kick. But who really cares since what is important is how well it does its job. I bought this at Php 250 and it seems to easily get out of stock. I think the price is okay considering that you only use it once a day and it lasts for more or less 3 months.

Have you found your HG toner? Do you have acne issues? Perhaps you want to try this.

Review: Dickinson's Witch Hazel Toner + another giveaways :)

My current toner is Dickinson's Witch Hazel (yellow label). I've been using this toner for the past 2 months already and i'm almost done with my second bottle. So, the question is: how is my face?

I've read a lot of good reviews of this product both from MUA and Girltalk. A lot of girls call this as their HG toner. Since raves are pouring out about this product, might as well try it. I bought a small bottle of this (less than Php 60) at Healthy Options. It is actually one of their best sellers. I have difficulty looking for this one. Good thing I found one at SM Manila :)

I was excited to try this and boy, they were right! The smell is very odd! I had a difficulty in using this because of it's smell. It was really so bad! But in a few days I got accustomed to it's smell that I didn't mind it anymore :) It doesn't sting eventhough it has alcohol content. It cleanse my face well. It didn't broke me out. But sad to say it did really nothing to my face. It doesn't help ease out my pimples but it doesn't aggravate it which is a good thing :) When my menstrual period came, I broke out really bad on my chin area. I did not blame this toner because I've been using it for almost a month then. It was merely hormonal issues :(

My verdict:

It is just an average toner. For the price, it is actually good. A small bottle of this toner lasts me a month and for the price of Php 60. If you have a sensitive nose better not try this because the smell will only hurt your nose (hehehe). There are better toner out there. And I need something that helps me in my face issues :-|...
