Budget Friendly Moisturizer I Tried Last 2024
by a very oily and acne prone skin type
Product: Luxe Organix Cica Soothing Gel Price: ₱129/100mL Gel consistency. I tried it for a month, even repurchased another 100ml pero di ko na inubos kasi for some reason, it gave me fungal acnes and it's not hydrating enough for me kahit 3 layers.
Product: Celeteque Moisturizer Price: ₱280/100mL (usually on sale for 252) Gel consistency. OG basic moisturizer for me since highschool. I only stopped using this when I started getting fungal acnes for some reason. It's enough for basic hydration para sakin ng at most 2 layers.
Product: Hyaloo Aqua Plus Deep Hydrating Gel Price: ₱395/200mL (usually on sale for 375) Gel consistency. At first walang reaction skin ko pero after 1 week of using I developed an irritation. Used it in the morning, pag-uwi ko may maliliit na pimples na mukha ko. I gave it the benefit of the doubt pa after returning from province, I tried it again to make sure if ito ba cause, pagbalik ko sa bahay meron na maliliit na acne yong kadiri tignan na maliliit tapos tabi tabi. I had to get an acne facial the next day to dry it out.
Product: Human Nature Hyaluronic Acid Gel Price: ₱250/50mL (on sale for 237) Slightly creamy and runny consistency. Yes, it's moisturizing for me, pero idk ha 2 sa pea size amount lang ina-apply ko pero ang greasy ng feeling sa mukha ko and I don't like it. May mild fragrance pero I don't mind it, it's the greasy feeling for me that's a no.
Product: Ellana Stay Fresh Moisturizer Price: ₱399/60g (usually on sale for 279) Watery na creamy consistency but it's not runny. Decent oil control, not moisturizing tho. It didn't cause a breakout. I'll settle for this na siguro as morning moisturizer before sunscreen kasi di ako nagbrebreak out nor cause fungal acnes. Face feels matte after it dried down.
Product: Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion Price: ₱224/71mL Lotion consistency. I use this on my face if it really feels dry and it's moisturizing naman talaga kahit 1 layer lang, minsan if trip ko 2 layer haha really helps. I can't really use this as a night moisturizer since it's heavy on a normal oily skin condition ko.
