Feedbacks

“…First day ko, okay siya. Wala ako nafefeel na mahapdi or kahit ano…kinabukasan, since sunscreen lang gamit ko, tuwang tuwa ako sa effect niya sa face ko kasi makintab. Parang ako’y merong instant glass-skin tapos lalo na pag tumatagal parang mamula-mula face ko. So tuwang tuwa ako, pinagpatuloy ko pa din ang gamit ko sa kanya. 

Tapos…maglalagay naman ako ulit ng rejuvenating facial cream…konti lang nilalagay ko nito kasi sobrang tapang nito…tapos pangatlong araw, napapansin ko medyo namumula-mula na face ko…and then feel ko na medyo humahapdi na siya pero wala pangpamamalat…Pero nung kinagabihan yung maghihilamos na ulit ako, dun ko nafeel yung hapdi…pero yung matitiis mo pa na hapdi…pero di pa talaga siya nagbabalat that time. Tapos, 4th day ko na…doon ko na talaga na feel yung hapdi…as in sobrang hapdi na talaga niya…nung time na yun, pa dampi dampi nalang ako maglagay ng toner kasi sobrang hapdi talaga parang sinusunog mukha ko…pero ayun, patuloy ako sa paggamit; natutuwa naman ako sa effect niya. Kasi habang nagbabalat siya, namumula yung face ko as in ang ganda ganda niya tignan…lalo na pag nilagyan ko nitong sunscreen…eto yung favorite ko sa buong box…kasi maganda talaga ang effect niya sa akin…

Patuloy pa din ako sa paggamit niya pero after two weeks patuloy kasi siya sa pagbalat at patuloy pa din sa paghapdi…tapos nafefeel ko na sa mukha ko na parang numinipis na siya…and hindi ko alam if may mali ba sa paggamit ko or talagang sa mukha ko lang nagiging parang ganun—oo di naman ako nagbreakout nung ginagamit ko siya…pero ang concern ko lang is numinipis na ang balat ng face ko tapos talagang sobrang hapdi niyal di ko siya kayang tiisin…yun lang naexperience ko; kung ako papipiliin doon pa din ako sa mga mild na skincare…” – Jennivie Oliveros
