Hi everyone! 😍 I recently celebrated my birthday so I decided to buy myself skincare as a birthday gift to myself! 😍

I bought Cetaphil Gentle Foaming Cleanser, and Cetaphil Bright Radiance Night Cream. I read that a lot of oily-skinned people loved the Gentle Foaming Cleanser. The Night Cream is also loved by many, and I got excited because not only does it moisturize but it also has Niacinamide! 😍❤ 

To my biggest surprise, the package came with lots and lots of freebies! I felt like this is the best skincare birthday gift ever. Cetaphil is crazy generous! 😍

Have you ever gifted yourself skincare? If yes, what did you buy and why? Please let me know! I'm excited to see what you all bought!

Skin Care Birthday Gift

Hi! I won the Commonlabs Giveaway and was about to check out both the Calming Ampoule and Calming Light Cream from Shoppee PH. When I entered the voucher code, it only made the ampoule free but not the light cream. 🥺 I still have to pay Php918. 😭

Did anyone get the same concern? If yes, what did you do to solve it? Thank you so much! 🥺🙏

Commonlabs Giveaway: Cannot make both products free in Shoppee PH

Finally a niacinamide toner that is watery in consistency, effective in oil control, lightweight, and very gentle on the skin! My new holy grail toner which I will definitely use for a long time! 

I&#39;ve been using this for around 3 months and my skin really improved. It complemented the other skincare ingredients that I am using. This does not make my skin oily in the middle of the day. My dark spots got better faster than they should. My face has more even color now. 

It&#39;s also fragrance-free. It has vitamin C which is also a great ingredient to add in our skincare morning routine. I love this!

Almost nothing! This is a 9.5/10. 
Only con is the smell. I can't fully explain it because it's very faint but I hope they can make it totally fragrance free or if not, they could just put a little fragrance to make it more appealing. Overall, it's a minor detail!

A very good summer moisturizer for oily skinned people like me! 
- feels very light on application
- dries down dewy to matte
- texture is gel-like which is a ++ for oily skin
- you can layer it up depending on the moisture you need yet it still won't feel heavy
- doesn't clog up my pores
- not irritating at all
- no irritating smells

Can be drying if you use too much and didn&#39;t wait for your skin to tolerate it. That is why you need a dermatologist&#39;s advice when using this. It&#39;s milder that Epiduo Forte though so I didn&#39;t have any significant concerns about this.

My dermatologist prescribed me this treatment for my acne. I had breakouts, whiteheads, and blackheads that left hyperpigmentation after they are gone. The benzoyl peroxide + adapalene combination really helped with my skin. My skin became smoother. Pimples heal faster and my whiteheads are gradually disappearing. With proper guidance from my dermatologist, I have been using this as maintenance treatment for my acne.

No bad experiences with this product! 😊

For someone with oily skin, I am really surprised and amazed with this product! I was expecting it to be really thick and tacky for my oily skin since it is marketed for Normal to Very Dry skin but to my surprise, it&#39;s really thin and very moisturizing for my face! I have been using it for around a week now and I didn&#39;t feel any tackyness and breakouts after I used this! It&#39;s the right amount of hydration for me! 😍❤

It also has Hyaluronic Acid which makes it very moisturizing for my skin while keeping it feeling plump. I love Hyaluronic Acid! 

It&#39;s non-comedogenic so it doesn&#39;t clog my pores.

It&#39;s fragrance-free which is beneficial for people who get irritated with fragrances.

It&#39;s hypoallergenic too!

A little goes a long way for a pea-sized application!

It is hard to find here in SouthEast Asia. We do not have physical stores that sell this. 

It has a little bit of a white cast so you have to gently rub it in. White cast is manageable though because it vanishes after gentle rubbing. If you only use what the pump provides, then you will not have a white cast. 

It&#39;s hydrating but not hydrating enough. If you have time to spare in the morning, you can apply moisturizer before using this.

It&#39;s quite sticky after you apply it but the stickiness disappears after a few minutes so it&#39;s all good. 

I feel like it stings sometimes? It doesn&#39;t irritate my skin but sometimes I feel like the vapor stings when I apply it at my temples and under my eyes.

Good AM sunscreen+moisturizer when you&#39;re in a rush in the morning. Instead of applying lots of product in the face in the morning, you can just use this and it would already give spf protection and moisture. 

Has a pump that delivers the exact amount needed for the face which helped me to not use too much. Sometimes I pump twice though so I could cover my neck too. 

It doesn&#39;t feel heavy on the skin. It&#39;s fragrance free so it doesn&#39;t have the usual sunscreen smell.

Overall, it&#39;s not the best but it helps me to still be protected from sunlight even if I have to rush with skincare in the morning. I already get lots of benefits with 1 single product.
