Skin Care Series feat. Wonder Pore Freshner by Etude House

It's summertime here in New York, and I am telling you it's hotter here than in the Philippines. It is so hot that it made my face oilier than everr. Good thing that I brought some goodies from home.

And the 'goodie' that I am talking about is Etude House's Wonder Pore Freshner.

I've bought this baby when I was still in the Philippines and I've always wanted to have this.  This is their 250ml bottle and it came out around a week right before I was about to leave. It came out just on time and it's a good thing they come up with a relatively smaller bottle because initially they only have 500ml which costs around P700++. They do sell a spray bottle for P98 but I find it really inconvenient. That's why I chose the 250ml bottle instead.

Before I have bought this, I got a chance to try it first. I got a sample size of it during the time they were doing a gift with purchase thing where, when you spent a certain amount in a single receipt, there's a free item added. And I'm glad that I tried it first before buying the actual product.

 Overview:

• It's really refreshing
• It doesn't leave a sticky feeling.
• It's almost unscented.
• It does a great job on removing dirt and excess oils.
•  Great for summer.

There's a lot of things that this product claims to do like maintaining the pH balance of you skin, Minimize pore size and something about keeping the elasticity of the pores which honestly, I don't really care much. As long as it refreshes, moisturizes and doesn't break my skin out, I'm fine with that.

See the dirt? It's from my face. I know it looks so gross.

The primary reason that I'm using this product is because it's refreshing but I also noticed that it does help control the oils that my face is producing.

I hope you find this helpful and Thank you for reading!

Skin Care Series: Eskinol Oil Control Pimple Fighting Facial Wash

Kamusta! This is another Skin Care Series and it will be about a local product, it's the Eskinol Oil Control Pimple Fighting Facial Wash.

History 101: When I was in high school I had major acne problem maybe due to puberty or maybe because I used Pond's facial scrub to early but what ever the reason was, bottom line I had ACNE in high school which  was totally not cool. And so, I stopped using Pond's facial scrub and when free sample was given in my school I tried it. And that was Eskinol. I tried to use it right after school and I liked it IMMEDIATELY! It was very mild and I believe it helped to cure my existing pimples back then. And so, from that day up to now, I've been using it. It has never been replaced in my skin care routine as my facial wash.

Tada! So this is my 'holy grail' facial wash. It lessens my chances of having break outs and if ever I have one, it helps on curing the zit. For me, it's an amazing product and I just can't find any facial wash that I can use as an alternative to this.

FYI: This one was repackaged. The old packaging was a white tube and that was just Derma clear-C but now I think it was reformulated and renamed to Pimple Fighting facial wash and the company added some tea tree oil to it which INMHO is good and personally, I like it for my skin.

I don't remember how much this is, but you can find it almost anywhere. You can find it at most drugstores here in the Philippines (e.g. Mercury drugstore and Watson's).

I've been using this product for seven (7) years now and I will continue to use it.

Thanks for reading! :) Paalam!
