These aren't exactly fresh. I got these products at the end of 2019. Can you believe it?
It's been four months and I'm only blogging about them now. What a slacker!
Well anyways, I have more time to blog these days. And as you can probably see... I'm on a roll. ;) 
I've been posting at least once a week. I'm meaning to do more. Bringing back my 2017 level of blog productivity. Oh yeah!
Working on a skeletal shift has it's benefits. I've also been doing lots of DIY stuff these days.
So, let's move on to the topic at hand: these are the latest products that I got from Sample Room.
I prefer getting skin care or daily essentials from them because I am practical that way.
You know, it seems that no matter what happens, I will never not use skin care products.
So this time, I got me a toner (because I will never skip toning), a sunscreen (because, duh), and a face mask (no, not THAT COVID-related mask).
Check 'em out after the jump! ;)
Belo Essentials AcnePro Treatment Toner
Price: Php 79.75 for 60 mL
What is it? What does it do?
An anti-acne toner that is infused with Purified Bee Venom which is clinically proven to treat mild to moderate acne and reduce inflammation. It unclogs congested pores & dries up pimples, reduces inflammation and red marks and soothes skin from irritation. It is oil-free, fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and non-comedogenic.

My Take
When I read the details of this toner, it felt like this is THE ONE made for me. Those ⬆️ are the skin problems that I always encounter, albeit not on a large scale. And I enjoyed using every single bit of this product because it really helped in calming down the zits and the oiliness. What saddens me is that this isn't the usual Belo toner that I see in the local stores because I've only seen the pink and orange ones. I haven't spotted this toner in town. If it were available, I'm pretty sure I would always purchase this one.

Vitapack Whitening UV Sunscreen
Price: Php 449 for 40 mL
What is it? What does it do?
It is a soft cream that protects the skin from harmful UV rays to prevent premature skin ageing while keeping the skin light and moisturized. It is infused with antioxidants in Sunflower Oil and Vitamin E to nourish, speed up rejuvenation and even out skin tone, and Sodium Hyaluronate to plump up skin for a lightweight, non-sticky and water-resistant finish.

My Take
I've always associated suncreens with stickiness so I was overjoyed when I road tested the Vitapack Whitening UV Sunscreen. It comes in a creamy formula but when applied to the skin, it leaves a matte finish. It also spreads easily on the skin so it's hassle-free. It makes the skin look smooth and at times, I would apply it and skip the bb cream or liquid foundation and just top it with powder. Even when I sweat out, my skin doesn't look oily or sticky. The label says that it is water-resistant, however I was not able to try it out because swimming got canceldt because of COVID19, so I won't be able to make a sound comment on that aspect.

The BIG problem that I had is that I believe it has been causing my pimples on my temple area. I used this a lot earlier this year and I kept having pimples on the same area. And then I stopped using it for a while, but not because I suspected that it was causing me pimples but just because I had other products to try out. And then a week ago, I used this because I was in a hurry to go out and it was the only sun protecting product I could grab. And voila, within that day, I had a painful red bump and I am still currently dealing with it. So. And there isn't a chance that I'll be using this sunscreen again because it is about to reach the end of its life, according to the label.
Rating: 3/5 (Truly, I wanted to love it, but.)

Papa Recipe Bombee Honey Mask

What is it? What does it do?

My Take
The first few days of May has been rough on me. These aren't exactly huge problems but it's been stressful that I couldn't take it any longer: I had to pamper myself a bit. So I grabbed this mask. As I pried it from the protective film that was covering it and tried to put it on my face, the first thing I noticed about it was that the material was too thin. I wasn't too gentle but I didn't exert too much force and I seem to have stretched the mask so easily that the hole for my left eye was bigger than the one for the right. When I tried to adjust it, it kept stretching that the mask became too big for my face. The only solution for me was to try to make it fit by crumpling some parts of the mask. WHAT A MESS! But after wearing it for 30 minutes, I felt nothing but appreciation for how soft and bouncy my face was. It still felt that way even the next day. I could have given it a better rating if it wasn't so difficult for me to use. Rating 3.5/5 (I loved it, but...)

And now it's time to calculate how much these products cost versus how much I spent to get them. 
Belo Essentials Acne Pro Treatment Toner   -  Php   79.75
Vitapack Whitening UV Sunscree                   - Php 449.00
Papa Recipe Bombee Honey Mask                  - Php 149.00
Total                                                                  - Php 677.95

I got all of these items for only Php 150.00 because of the shipping fee.
Isn't it that a delight?
Thank you again Sample Room! Until next transaction!

Celeteque DermoScience, despite the foreign-sounding name, is a Filipino brand. It is produced by INNOVITELLE INC., a subsidiary of the United Laboratories Inc., more popularly known by its abbreviation UNILAB, the company that has also brought us Biogesic, Bioflu, and Myra, among others.

I saw this Hydration Traveler's Basics at a local Mercury Drug. I decided to purchase it because I was running low on toner and at Php 140.00 (about $3.00 USD), I would also be able to try the entire set, which includes a facial wash and a moisturizer. Each of the tube or bottle contains about 25 mL of product which I think is enough for me to decide if I would buy the full size or not. Let's check 'em out after the jump.

Celeteque DermoScience Hydration Traveler's Basics: Facial Wash, Toner and Facial Moisturizer
My skin isn't exactly the dry type but I do know that all skin types need hydration and moisturization. I'm more of the oily gal but I only get pimples about once or twice a month. 

Here are the details about each of the products included in the set.

The deets
Ingredients
CELETEQUE DERMOSCIENCE HYDRATION FACIAL WASH
Celeteque DermoScience Hydration Facial Wash
"...has a combination of mild cleansing agents and Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) also found in the skin to gently yet effectively clean while improving the skin's moisture level."

You can probably see in the photo that this facial wash comes in a clear orange-colored liquid form, a bit runny actually. I couldn't exactly point out how it smells like but it's just a light scent; comparable to the scent of a minty toothpaste or a soap maybe, but just muted down a bit. It gives off minimal amount of bubbles when used on the face. After washing it off, there's a feeling that traces of it are left on the face but that feeling dissipates after a while and skin feels squeaky clean and supple at the same time.

CELETEQUE DERMOSCIENCE HYDRATION FACIAL MOISTURIZER
Celeteque Dermoscience Hydration Facial Moisturizer
"...has a unique hydrogel formulation that provides the skin with optimum hydration without the greasy after-feel. Its triple moisturizing system contains Glycerin, Pro-Vitamin B5, and Aloe Vera that works deep down to provide lasting relief from skin dryness. It also has Dimethicone that seals in the skin's moisture."

This one come in a gel type that is easily absorbed by the skin. Indeed, I love how my skin felt moisturized without the greasy feel. It literally just melts into the skin upon contact. 

CELETEQUE DERMOSCIENCE HYDRATION TONER
Celeteque DermoScience Hydration Alcohol-Free Toner
"...contains Witch Hazel Extract to soothe the skin while it removes the last traces of stubborn dirt."
I like how this toner doesn't sting and doesn't make the skin feel dry. It is also very lightly scented and smells like the facial wash.

***
I am definitely going to buy the full-sized toner since I prefer alcohol-free formulation for my face. I also would like to buy the moisturizer when I run out of it because I loved how it made my skin feel soft. I also loved the simplicity of it - no whitening stuff. Just a basic moisturizer to make the skin feel supple and hydrated.
I also discovered that Celeteque DermoScience actually has an online shop:


That just makes shopping easier, don't it? You can also buy the Celeteque makeup line from that website so that's a thrill!

XO,

Here's a photo of my bare face, and I have used the Celeteque set. I know I have a huge problem with my baggies but I consider it a good day if I woke up with no pimples. :)
