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!)

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 ...

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...
