Celeteque Hydration Facial Moisturizer Review

I have oily skin so me and face creams usually don’t make a good match.

Wait, hold up. You have oily skin? Do you even need a moisturizer in the first place?

Our skin always need to be moisturized, especially those with oily skin. Some people with oily skin claim that they don’t need a moisturizer because of their skin type. Honey, I think you need to sit down for this. Okay, newsflash, oily doesn’t mean well-hydrated. And while most of them believe that cleansing is the only answer, over-cleansing will strip the skin and force it to produce more oil to compensate. So to the ladies and guys who have oily skin yet haven't tried using a moisturizer, my dearies, don’t be afraid to use one. I assure you, it only seems counter-intuitive but it definitely isn’t. Once you’ve tried using a good moisturizer, you wouldn’t go a day without it.

Okay, back to my story.

Cream-type moisturizers always feel greasy on me and I would later find myself much oilier than I usually am. That being said, it is imperative for me to find a good water-based moisturizer that would make my skin feel hydrated and wouldn’t break me out. Prior to my purchase of the Celeteque Moisturizer, I was using the iWhite Aqua Moisturizer and I really liked it. I repurchased the sachets countless of times until I later realized that I just wasn’t that satisfied with it anymore. My friend suggested that I use the Celeteque Moisturizer instead. So I did.

Its unique hydrogel formula provides the skin with optimum hydration without the greasy after-feel.

Water, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Panthenol, Hexylene Glycol, Carbomer, Aloe barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Extract, Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, DMDM Hydantoin, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Citric Acid

Price:

I bought the 50ml tube from Watsons for around 130php. It's available in the leading supermarkets nationwide as well.

Consistency:

Its consistency is somewhere between gel and water; thus, non-greasy. It is easily absorbed by the skin. 

Packaging:

 I like the packaging. It's very hygienic. It’s also easy to deposit the product onto my fingers even if I'm about to run out of moisturizer. Just give it a good shake while squeezing the tube and you’ll be able to get the product out easily. 

How I use it: 

I use it twice a day. After cleansing and applying my toner, I squeeze a pea-size amount of the moisturizer onto my fingers then apply it onto my face. A little goes a long way with this product.

My Thoughts on the Product:

I purchased the tube two months ago and so far, I'm loving it. I find that it’s a bit better than my old moisturizer. You wouldn’t feel the need to reapply it after a couple of hours. It doesn't feel greasy at all and is easily absorbed by the skin. A tube would last you a month or two depending on your usage. It's very affordable. It’s currently a staple in my skincare routine. You really can’t beat its price and quality. 

If you're looking for a good water-based moisturizer that wouldn't break the bank, I would highly recommend this for you. 

Would I repurchase?

Yes! As soon as mine runs out. My skin loves this stuff. Plus, I get to save a lot by buying this than the expensive ones that works just as fine as this one.
