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
- 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.
Recommend? Of course!
Love Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ (may forever tayo dear!)
