Dermstrata's Centella Gel

Happy Monday!! I know that a lot of us, girls and guys worry about pimples, acne, whiteheads and blackheads a lot. I used to have clear skin when I was younger but it seems like pollution and my diet have taken their toll. I've been getting zits lately and the pesky marks they left behind really diminished my self esteem. I've tried a lot of pimple zapping topical creams but they don't deliver as claimed. So in my unending search for a product that will clear up my skin again, I came across Dermstrata and tried their anti-pimple product especially formulated for cystic acne, well, according to their attendants.

I bought this small jar for Php 275.00

It is colorless and unscented

How it looks when applied on my skin

Notice how the redness disappears in just a few minutes after application

What I Like:

• It is odorless and colorless.
• It dries fast.
• It can be applied on top of sunblock or under makeup.
• It dried small pimples overnight (much to my amazement!) and also ideal for cystic pimples.
• I discovered that it helps to relieve itchiness and to soothe small cuts, burns, and insect bites.
• A lot of products broke me out but this one didn't.
• It heals pimples without leaving dark marks.

What I Don't Like:

• A little expensive for a small jar especially when you use it often. I apply it twice a day and a small jar lasts for less than a month for me.

Verdict:

       I give this a rating of 5/5 because I am a highly satisfied user and it really delivers results. I will be purchasing forever, it is indeed a HG product for my complicated skin type. Give it a try and zap those stubborn zits in no time!!

Dermstrata's Total Block Gel with SPF 35

Summer days are over and it's raining cats and dogs all over the metro. However, don't be misled by cloudy skies because UV rays can still pass through those clouds and harm our skin. It wasn't my habit to put on anything on my face especially at daytime because I want to avoid having a greasy face at the end of the day. My face is so oily that all the dirt and dust will stick on it only after two to three hours. So my quest for the perfect sunblock continues until I come across Dermstrata. And hurray!!! I finally found my HG sunblock!!!

Dermstrata's Total Block Gel in Big Jar for Php 1,250.00

It is colorless and unscented

As you can see in the picture, I used a small scooper for hygienic purpose.

What I Like:

• Perfect for people with oily and sensitive skin like me
• It is water based and doesn't sting my eyes because I apply it on my whole face
• Works great with my VMV Pore Mattifier, making my skin shine free for hours!
• Doesn't leave a whitish cast 
• It is odorless and colorless. Can be applied before makeup.
• No breakouts and didn't clog my pores

What I Don't Like:

• They reformulated this sunblock which doesn't suit me so I have to order this from them and wait for less than a week
• A little expensive for a sunblock
• Available only in big jars so you have to make sure your hands are clean before you scoop it out or in my case, I use a small scooper from my old night cream to get the amount that I'll use

Verdict:

         I give this sunblock a  5/5. I've been using this for years and I haven't yet come across a substitute for this one. This is truly one of the best from Dermstrata hands down!
