My Cheap but EFFECTIVE Pimple Drying Cream: Katialis Review

Hello Lovelies!!

This review is like an updated review version of my previous post on my IG account. 
Being thrifty, I tend to search for DIY's when it comes to that time of the month wherein my "visitor" a.k.a menstruation visits me with a friend named pimple or sometimes zit. My research lead me to knowing this product: Katialis. :)

What: Katialis
Price: small-25Php large-40 Php
Where did I bought it? Local Drugstore & Mercury Drugs


Ingredients :
  • Precipitated Sulfur - a form of sulfur used in treating skin diseases, has a keratolytic effect that promotes peeling of the skin.
  • Zinc Oxide - a mineral used to threat skin rashes, itching, minor burn & other skin irritation. Not anti-bacteria.
  • Resorcinol - used to treat acne.
  • Salicylic Acid - known to fight pimple & great for exfoliating skin.


It has a yellow-greenish-grey color (that color though!) with a cream-powdery consistency and smells like Fissan Foot Powder. I like that the expiration date was indicated however, I just wish that they will improve the printing--to the point wherein the ink can't be removed.

Pros:
  • It dries up my pimple/zit however, unlike way before that it can dry out my pimple overnight, now it takes days before it takes effect.
  • CHEAP <3
  • Available everywhere! As long as there are drugstores.
  • Travel size container
  • Has a cooling effect
Cons:
  • The smell though!!!
  • Cannot be used under direct sunlight! Remember! Your skin is peeling! It is over-exposed to like everything!

Currently using it due to my usage of Silka. T.T
(Disclaimer: Not a Silka Soap Hater, I love the smell of it but the breakouts though...)

Tip:
Apply this before you sleep at night, I propose that you clean your face first and moisturize before you apply it. However sometimes, in my case, when I feel impatient,--I don't apply moisturizers on the pimple area and directly put the Katialis ointment on it to speed up the drying process. 

Will I buy again? Yes, ALWAYS.
Recommend? Of course! 

Love Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ (may forever tayo dear!)

When I Let Belo Touched my Armpit: The Belo Beauty Deo Review

Hello Lovelies! Being born a sweaty-pig, I struggled during my puberty days, it is either I end up stinky and soaking wet or having a overwhelming smell of deo and yellow stains on my uniforms--because I just don't know where or who to ask or open up for it is a pretty personal and embarrassing stuff. So moving forward, I end up ruining my armpit, it has chicken skin and uneven skin tone. For years I've been using all-natural alum deo, be it powdered or the solid one, just to save my shirts & blouses from stains but the downside is that it doesn't have any antiperspirant property--which is kinda embarrassing, not just for girls but for everyone! Dyahe bes! Hindi nakakaganda. Then one time, my Mom made me use her Avon's Quelch Deo--and it quite good. I didn't sweat and there's no stain--but then again it just my first time of using it--so I wasn't convince yet, I told myself that I need to try it for a longer period. However, the thing is I don...
