Quick Review: Silka Whitening Herbal Soap

Hello Lovelies!!
Just a quick review :)
Being used by my friend and at the same time having good reviews online, I decided to see for myself if this will become my long term soap.

The 65g Budget Pack of Silka Whitening Herbal Soap

What? Silka Whitening Herbal Soap
How Much? 16 Php / 0.31 $
Where? Leading supermarkets & drugstores

Rear Portion: Ingredients & Description
Ingredients: 
  • Sodium Palmitate/ Sodium Palm Kernelate - based on what I gather, these two are both cleansing agent--being sodium but, in high amount can be a skin irritant because they strip off oil from the skin. :(
  • Salicylic Acid - known to fight pimple & great for exfoliating skin.
  • Mineral Oil - hhhmmmmmm
  • Carica Papaya Enzyme - exfoliating dead skin cells.
  • Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate - Vitamin E!! Finally! A moisturizer!

 The Verdict...

Pros:
  • Affordable. 16 pesos guys!! 16!!
  • Smells goooooood.
Cons:
  • Breakouts (not only on my face but on my body also!! T.T)
  • It reddened my skin
  • Triggered my allergy on the neck, my neck feels itchy and hot. 
And I've only used it for like only 3 days!!! :(

Day 2 & Day 3 "Please excuse my face guys xD"
As you can see, I covered my face immediately with my favorite pimple fighting cream "Katialis" *ta-da!* (I'll make a separate post about that ;D) as soon as I saw the breakouts after taking a shower. My guess is that the soap is toooooo strong and drying for my skin. Too many oil stripping & exfoliating agents. :(

Articles I read:

  • Sodium Palmitate/ Sodium Palm Kernelate  - http://www.etherealauraspa.com/blog/stop-using-soap
  • Salicylic Acid - http://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-18-866/salicylic-acid-topical/salicylic-acid-keratolytic-topical/details  |  https://www.allure.com/story/what-does-salicylic-acid-do\
  • Carica Papaya Enzyme - http://www.seacretspa.com/Papaya-Extract


So my journey to find the most affordable and effective long term soap will move forward again. *deep sigh* -.-" (^ o ^)/ <{to more reviews!}

Disclaimer: If it didn't work for me, doesn't necessarily mean that it will not work for you. My skin is different from yours and so is my diet and health condition. Effects may vary. :)

Would I buy it again? No. T.T

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 Oxid e - 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 Powd

Product Review: Skin White Whitening Soap

Hello Lovelies!! As my journey to finding the best soap for my face and my body continues, it led me to this product: Skin White Whitening Soap . Moreover, the reason why I grabbed this soap immediately is because it has Niacinamide , a must for me since my skin hasn't recovered yet from the recent breakouts caused by Silka Herbal Soap . So here it goes: What?  SkinWhite Whitening Soap w/ Kojic Acid How Much?  46 Php / 0.9 $ Where?  Leading supermarkets & drugstores Pros: It has Niacinamide!!! <3 Smells good VERY-VERY MILD FOR A KOJIC SOAP Doesn't sting Easy to find Lasted for a week Cons: Not that effective in terms of whitening (perhaps whitening will be visible after months of use) Didn't help with my breakouts All in all, if you're not into instant whitening and don't like the sting of the usual Kojic Soap--this soap is for you. Will I buy again?  Nope. Recommend?  Yes, for Kojic Soap Newbies. :)
