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!

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!

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

Nothing bad in particular! It stings quite a bit though which takes some getting used to. Better to use this gradually!

I received a sampler so this is only a first impression review. 

This product is:
- lightweight
- fragrance free
- doesn't irritate my skin (i have oily, resilient skin that's used to retinoids)
- exfoliates well

Quite expensive. It costs Php 863 for a 30mL bottle.

I received this product for free from Picky and COMMONLABS in exchange for my honest review.

Main Ingredients:
✅ 20,000ppm of Gezolsa (Artemisia Annua Extract, Pinus Densiflora Leaf Extract, Citrus Junos Fruit Extract)
✅ 77% Tea tree Leaf Extract 
✅ Vitamin E solution

Claims:
✅ improves troubled skin
✅ provides soothing
✅ provides protection for the skin

Throughout using this for more than 2 weeks, I noticed that this product is lightweight and easy to spread compared to other cream moisturizers out there. As an oily-skinned person, I tend to prefer gel moisturizers but this one is an exception. It doesn't feel heavy. A little goes a long way too. This product is good to use especially during the cold seasons here in the Philippines. It also has a light tea tree scent which I enjoyed.
