Celeteque Dermo Science Hydration Facial Moisturizer With Triple Moisturizing System Review


Celeteque DermoScience Hydration Facial Moisturizer
Bought for: Sale at -P100| SRP: P140
Bought from: Unilab on Shopee

I'm pretty sure we've all heard about this famous Celeteque Dermo Science Hydration Facial Moisturizer being one of the cult-favorites in terms of consistency and hydration. I, myself, have to witness how this surprisingly affordable product can make a difference on my super oily and pimple-prone skin. Knowing Celeteque since I was in high school, I'm pretty much aware that their products are all hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, thus gentle on all and even on sensitive skin. I don't think other Celeteque products from their skin care line work at par with other gentle skin food from Cetaphil or Physiogel (based on experience), but I consider this moisturizer right here a cut above the rest. Spoiler alert: I'm in loved with it and I think repurchase will be very much necessary!



Packaging

Just like most Celeteque products, it comes in a very simply-made type of packaging--in a squeezy-type tube and contains necessary information such as claims and expiry and manufacturing dates. The list of ingredients is written on its accompanying box which I threw away a long time ago for it was severely squashed during transit. Overall, I like the packaging for it is hygienic to use and is travel-friendly.

Texture, Consistency and Ease of Application

The product comes in a transparent hydrogel formulation that blends easily with very minimal to no effort. It feels very watery (of course it's water-based lol) and light that sometimes I'm thinking I'm only putting water but with a bit of hydration. It dries matte on the skin and you won't even feel you have something on. This is indeed very suitable for someone like me who has oily skin and who does not need the greasy film heavy moisturizers give. On top of that, the scent is barely noticeable, therefore, it's perfect to those who are very sensitive to fragrances.


Performance

This moisturizer feels so lightweight but effectively gives superior hydration with its 'triple moisturizing system'. I am a bit confused with this claim at first, so I utilized Mr. Google and its says that it contains Glycerin, Provitamin B5 and Aloe Vera that work deep down to provide lasting relief from skin's dryness. Truth be told, even those who are born with oily skin tend to have dry patches too (mainly from using different harsh skin care products that skin may tend to react negatively). Therefore, a product that would give enough hydration without triggering sebum production is needed to compensate. And I recommend this product to answer all your woes! No wonder, my skin feels so soothed, supple and healthy after every use.

Another thing I find so amazing with this product is the fact that it can be layered under makeup without cake-y problems. It didn't break me out too but it also isn't working hard to prevent pimples from coming which I am very forgivable about, otherwise I'd get really disappointed had it been  stated as one of its claims. I have nothing against its hydrating power but those with dry skin may opt to use other heavy-duty moisturizers in conjunction.



Overall Thoughts


With continuous use, I can say that my skin looks a lot brighter and better in terms of texture. I did not completely get rid of all existing breakouts yet but they are getting smaller in numbers and it seems to help reduce blemishes and acne scars too. For only P140, you get a tube with 50ml of products and that is already enough to last you more than a month. Lightweigh moisturizers like this is perfect for our humid air and is definitely a skin savior of my oily skin! Highly recommended and will definitely repurchase!

Celeteque DermoScience Sun Care Matte Moisturizer with SPF30 Review


Celeteque DermoScience Sun Care Matte Moisturizer
Bought for: P150 | SRP: P230/50ml
Available at all leading supermarkets and department stores

Before I get to the point, Merry Christmas, everyone! This year has been full of blessings, new learnings, challenges and motivations that I can't thank God enough. I can't help getting emotional in retrospection of the past that molded me to be a better woman I am right now--more responsible and product-oriented. And to start with, here's a review on a product that  has been sitting on the shelves of beauty shops for quite a long time  now but the late bloomer me noticed it just a few months back.

It started when I was running out of moisturizer and sunscreen and that pave way to me searching for an affordable product that suits my very tight budget. The 'sun care' is quite interesting and the 'matte moisturizer' made it look a lot even better for only P230. And oh, I didn't even spend P230, just P150 for this because of a voucher code. It's the cheapskate in me, sorry. The verdict? This is an average product--among the typical ones with pros and cons.




Packaging

Packaging-wise, I like that it comes in a squeeze-type plastic tube but with very limited information such as the manufacturing and expiry dates, direction of use, etc. The accompanying box has all the necessary information which is not very useful right now 'cause I already throw it away when it was severely squashed during transit. I end up looking for the complete list online though. It's not as if I would stop using it if I found out harmful ingredients (which is not the case)--I just live with the habit of going over a product's list of ingredients while I carefully apply it on my skin. It just kinda make the moment more significant while you imagine all the goodness you're putting on...or is it just me?But overall, the product is very hygienic to use and looks very nice and clinical.


Texture, Consistency and Ease of Application

This sunblock has an opaque white and creamy consistency that reminds me of Elmer's Glue in terms of texture but of course, the latter is sticky lol. It has a subtle scent so those who are very sensitive to fragrances will find it tolerable. At first, I thought that it would create a nasty white cast on the skin 'cause it blends and gets absorbs well with a bit extra effort. But once it finally set it, it just yields bright complexion that looks a bit dewy and well-moisturized. Just don't over-apply so you won't end up having obvious white streaks on the face. And oh yes, it does not completely dry matte (just like how it's advertised) and it leaves a teeny bit of sheen on the skin but it's amazingly lightweight despite the dewiness.


Performance

So this product claims to have SPF30 and broad spectrum UVA/UVB Protection due to the Titanium Dioxide alone. Although SPF 30 is a decent amount of sun protection, I still prefer to use my Belo Essentials SunExpert Face Cover SPF40 and PA+++ or Beach Hut Max SPF100+ Unbelievable Light Lotion Sunblock--just among the most lightweight and affordable sunblocks sold in local drugstores. Both cost a bit more than Celeteque's but they are still better-performing in most aspects. One more thing, I did try applying this sunblock under makeup and I ended up having cake-y base.


Overall Thoughts

Having oily skin, this product is more on the dewy side which is but fine 'cause even I, still need a good moisturizer to begin with. If you are familiar with those sunblocks in the market which, in general, leaves a sticky and greasy residue and feels heavy on the skin, Celeteque DermoScience Sun Care Matte Moisturizer works better, I daresay. It has a good amount of product considering its price and a little goes a long way so a tube will last you months. Even though it claims to be matte, I still think it will work just as nice to those with dry and sensitive skin for its hydrating and mild properties.

Are you thinking of trying Celeteque DermScience Sun Care Matte Moisturizer with SPF30? Have you? What do you think of this product?

Celeteque Dermo Cosmetics CC Micro-Hydrating Powder in Classic Natural Review


Celeteque Dermo Cosmetics CC Micro-Hydrating Powder, 10g
Bought for: Free | Original Price: P930
Bought from: Sampleroom

How's everyone doing? Good? Perfect! So not too long ago, Celeteque, which is known to be an effective drugstore brand of skin care, has took the leap in producing makeup as well while incorporating some skin care benefits to it. Who wouldn't like skipping a skin care step once in a while just because you have something to save your time? Not me, especially when I'm on a rush to work. Good thing, I have here something that does multiple things to my skin: hydration, coverage, sun protection and anti-aging properties.



CLAIMS (as per Sample Room)

Céleteque DermoCosmetics CC Micro-Hydrating Powder features an autogrinding technology that gives you an ultra fine and hydrating powder that quickly blends and evens out skin complexion. It controls oil and shine while keeping skin radiant and well-moisturized. It also has SPF 30 to provide double sunscreen protection.

How Céleteque® DermoCosmeticsTM CC Micro-hydrating Powder Works:

• Hyaluronic Acid replenishes and retains moisture for long-lasting skin hydration
• Slica controls the excess oil to give a silky, soft and matte finish
• Tocopheryl Acetate (Vit E) hydrates and nourishes skin keeping it healthy.
• Oil-controlling, hydrating



PACKAGING

The packaging for me was very simple but very neat and functional. The plastic is kind of sturdy too çause I dropped it accidentally one time and it did not break. It also has the manufacturing and expiry dates at the back and I was surprised that it would still be as good after three years though I doubt I'd still have it by the end of this year.

To open the product, you just have to press that small protruding button. Inside, you will see a full-size mirror (peel the translucent sticker to get a clearer view). It comes with a puff which I don't think is perfect to use with loose powders since it tends to pile up powder on the face unevenly, thus the cake-y look and everything. I prefer my RT Brush to scoop up the powder and gently dust it on my face to get an airbrush look.


I believe that this product is just like a normal pressed powder but because of the sharp grinders that when you rotate counter clockwise, it produces finely-milled powders. Don't worry if you over rotate, 'çause you can simply twist it vice versa to fix the remaining powders.


SCENT

I can't really describe the scent -- you know I'm so bad at this--, but it smells subtle and never overwhelming. I doubt that those who are very sensitive to scents will find this in any way off-putting.

SHADE

This product comes in three (3) shades, I believe--Light Porcelain, Classic Natural and Deep Beige--with undertones perfect for Asian complexions. I got the the Classic Natural from Sample Room. I think the shade that I got is a tad darker than my complexion and somewhat give me that pale look unless I put some blush on. Also, this product tends to oxidize on my face once I oil up and turns a wee darker. I think the Light Porcelain would look better on me since I badly need some bright glow and if that oxidizes, my face and neck's color would still match anyway lol.


PERFORMANCE

The powder has a light, soft and creamy texture that blends out easily on the skin and does not give any chalky feeling which makes it a perfect match for those with dry and normal skin types. Since this is a loose powder, it gives skin that shine-free look instantly but does not feel matte at all. Because of the hydrating and anti-aging properties, this product is created to be moisturizing on the skin, thus, failed to control oil for hours. In my case, I easily oil up as fast as 30 minutes. Good thing, this does not feel sticky at all in this humid weather.

The coverage as you can see on the picture is sheer to medium. It gives off a matte BB Cream finish so you won't have to layer a foundation under--which is something I don't advise anyway, since this will just make your skin look patchy. Most of the time, after I use my toner, I just dust this powder on my face and I'm all set. It hides hyper pigmentation easily and makes skin look more even so there's no need for me to opt for heavy foundations. What I do sometimes is set it with a thin layer of transparent powder to make it more matte and long-lasting.

I would say that this product is non transfer-proof since it instantly clings to absorbent papers once I blot out my face. Sometimes, especially during intense hot weather, this tends to slide off my skin together with oils, you get what I mean? It's disappointing but I still like that it has anti-aging properties and did not break me out. The best thing about it is how it makes my skin look fresh  and radiant when it blurs pores and evens out my skin tone.


OVERALL THOUGHTS

I am seriously having a love-hate relationship with this product. It fails to control oil but the hydration, coverage, sun protection and anti-aging properties are something that I would not trade for anything else. This might be a little pricey but it's worth a try, believe me.

Have you tried Celeteque Dermo Cosmetics CC Micro-Hydrating Powder? Any thoughts?

Celeteque DermoScience Acne Solutions Acne Spot Corrector Gel Review


Celeteque DermoScience Acne Solutions Acne Spot Corrector Gel
Bought from: Beautymnl
Bought for: P169

Claims: A targeted treatment that dries up pimples overnight (80% reduction of comedones on the face on the 7th day of usage); Has Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) and Poly Hydroxy Acid (PHA) that aid in exfoliating dead skin cells and diminishing pimples; contains Lilac Leaf Cell Culture Extract that reduces oil to prevent breakouts

A freezing afternoon, everyone! This is the best time to squeeze ourselves back to beds and cuddle with pillows, right? I was kinda tempted but I know I had to blog lol. This time I'll be sharing my thoughts on Celeteque DermoScience Acne Solutions Acne Spot Corrector Gel.

The first time I went to a facial, my experience were really great. It even became greater when I started to use their facial set for acne-prone skin. It was the best period my skin has ever had. I am not blessed with pimple-free face but the world is like a wheel and at that moment, I was at the peak--I never get breakouts, my skin were significantly clearer and brighter, my dark acne spots were fading, Just as I thought my skin would never come back to what it was, everything changes when I started to change my routine. It was like using a series of 'products which work' and 'which does not work' equals terrible breakouts. Now, I'm finding it hard to regain the skin I once had. This led me to the search for holy grail products that aim to target acne breakouts. I came across a famous vlogger and she raves about this and so I thought my skin is not getting even better so what else to lose if I try, right?


I was quite disappointed with the size of the product when it came to my doorstep. The tube was so tiny with only 5 ml of product inside, though it's my fault I did not check it out first when I bought it online. I was thinking until when this would last me. Well, with the frequency of the popping zits I'm having, not a month. But then I realized that a teeny tiny amount is enough to cover zits. Size matters still though. However, the container is super travel-friendly, it can even fit pockets. ;)



I am really sorry I did not bother taking a picture of the squeezed product because I do not want to waste it huhu. Anyway, the liquid is pearly white in shade and is not too runny nor sticky in consistency. When applied on skin, it imparts a super refreshing/cooling effect which can instantly soothe zits especially those painful ones. Being a spot on treatment, I know that I must only intend to use it literally on my pimples but I like spreading it on my skin for added protection and to prevent future breakouts.

Application is twice a day after toning my face. I like to spread it on parts where I usually have breakouts-- forehead, cheeks, nose and chin, basically on the whole face lol--and even consider it as a light moisturizer for my oily skin. Though it claims to control sebum production, I still get super shiny all the time.


I like that this spot on treatment is hydrating without the sticky feeling. It is also effective in reducing the size of the breakouts overnight however, it would usually took me weeks before the bump really subside. I expect it to lighten marks as quickly as possible or prevent marks but no to avail. Unlike other spot on treatments which make skin flaky and dry, this one caused no peeling on areas around zits, all it ever do was slowly but surely reduce the size of a breakout.


Overall, I like Celeteque DermoScience Acne Solutions Acne Spot Corrector Gel but I would still prefer those that tame breakouts faster than this product could. On the other hand, I tried convincing myself that for its super affordable price, I can't really demand too much. So if you are really willing to wait for all your pimples to dry, this could do you great but if you are too impatient, I suggest you look for other heavy duty creams which probably meant spending more.

Have you tried this product? What do you think of it? Any spot on treatments to recommend?

Happy blogging!
