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.
Product Description:
Celeteque DermoScience Hydration Facial Moisturizer with Triple Moisturizing System. Dermatologist Tested, water-based and oil free, non-comedogenic, hypo-allergic, and fragrance free.
CELETEQUE DermoScience™ Hydration Facial Moisturizer has Triple Moisturizing System that contains Glycerin, Provitamin B5 and Aloe Vera, that work deep down to provide lasting relief from skin dryness. Its unique hydrogel formula provides the skin with optimum hydration without the greasy after-feel.
Ingredients:
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.
Which is better? Celeteque or aqua moisturizer?
ReplyDeleteI find the Celeteque one much better than the Aqua. But that's just me.
DeleteI have an acne prone skin. Will it help me or it will just worsen my acne?
ReplyDeleteBased from my experience, it didn't agitate my skin which is a super good thing since I have sensitive skin. Some moisturizers break me out. This does not. However, this is only for hydration. It does not target acne.
DeleteDoes it work well when you top it with sunscreen and makeup? Does it cake or clump together?
ReplyDeleteI apologize for the late reply. It doesn't cake or clump together. The skin absorbs it well which is also what I love about it!
Deleteis this good for sensitive and oily skin?
ReplyDeleteI have the same skin type as you so yes, I would highly recommend this. However, I suggest you do a patch test first before using this on your face to make sure that this wouldn't irritate your skin.
DeleteYou know what they say, "Thou shalt always, always patch test new skin care before slathering."
