Eskinol Papaya Smooth White Facial Deep Cleanser Review

I ADDED DALACIN C THUS PRODUCING A PINK COLOR

I have been using this product for the past two years and I LOVE IT!
For a few months I started using this as a make up remover  alone--then I realized it takes so much time for me to take off my make up with this by itself. So I only use it to remove the make up off of my neck and the remaining make up on my face after I cleanse it with my face wash

FOR  WHITENING: I did notice that it DID lighten up my skin a bit but there isn't that much difference since I am already kind of pale. but I do think that it DID lighten up my neck but then again I have been using it for YEARS...so Im not sure about as early as 1 week.

DOES IT HELP WITH ACNE (WITH DALACIN C): I haven't really noticed any drastic changes when it comes to my acne--still there. However, since I am suffering from cystic acne I guess this can't really do much for it. But if you have Mild-moderate acne (not necessarily severe) then go for it!

RENEW AND SMOOTHEN SKIN: Again, I have been using this for my neck so I am not sure about the face...I do recall that I did not notice "smoothening" on my face when I used it on my face for a while--MAYBE its for people who have minor acne. 

Instructions and Ingredients (IT DOES HAVE ALCOHOL!)

 AS FOR THE SCENT--it smells like PAPAYA (DUH) and there is a smell of alcohol!

I usually clean my neck/face while Im watching TV~

I use it with cotton balls and just rub it to my neck until there is no more residue on the cotton balls (I use up about 3-4 cotton balls both sides LOL I KNOW DAMN MY NECK BE SO DIRTY) 


UPDATE: FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE COLOR IS ORIGINALLY CLEAR! I JUST ADDED DALACIN C THUS THE COLOR!

 RATING: 9/10

thank you~

Skinfood: Rice Mask Wash Off Review

RICE MASK (100g)

Its ACTUAL size
I bought this rice mask a few months ago from eBay for around CAN $9.00  and I have been using it since then. (I have been using it once every 2 weeks or so) since I do have oily skin. I use it more often when my face gets really dry.


These are its ingredients and the instructions (SORRY IF IT'S BLURRY--hand's too shaky lol)  Idk if you can read it but THERE IS ALCOHOL--Cetyl Alcohol  I was quite surprised since it's skinFOOD? and mainly natural ingedients? Alcohol was the LEAST ingredient I expected...But then again, there are TONS of ingredients I cant even pronounce...I mainly got this because of its positive reviews I have read online.(and I wanted to try it out!)

Unfortunately, it does not come with a scoop/spoon to take out the content, so I found this little plastic spoon thingy and I just use it to scoop out the content whenever I use it since it is hygienic, rather than using my icky fingers! 



This is what it looks like! And the SMELL is kind of a LOTION SMELL/ SUNSCREEN? idk the scent reminds me of those, it did annoy me at first since I EXPECTED a lot from skinfood--ALL NATURAL STUFF. But  I have gotten used to it!
TEXTURE: you can feel the rice grains and it's nice
When you first scoop it out

After you spread it

Spread it even more (RICE GRAINS ARE PROMINENT!)

AFTER 15 MINS!

INSTRUCTIONS: You are supposed to have washed your face hence, it has to be clean (No make up, cream etc) You scoop out enough content for your WHOLE face. then you massage it evenly until you feel like the rice grains have kind off disappeared (I usually massage it for 5 mins) After that leave it on for about 15-20 minutes. Then rinse it off and PAT dry. 

It will leave your face smooth and shiny! It literally SHINES LOL! And GLOWS! (Probably because I have combination skin--leaning more on oily though)


WHAT IT HAS DONE FOR ME AFTER 2-3 MONTHS OF USAGE:
At first I would use it on a regular basis...but then I noticed everytime I use it I would get really tiny pimples! So I lessened my usage and only use it when I feel that my skin has gone under a lot of stress OR when it's really really dry! (Especially now that it's winter)

It is a nice moisturizer lol
And I do think there are better all natural wash offproducts out there.
RATING: 7/10

My VERY RECENT Skincare routine! (◡‿◡✿)

FIRST AND FOREMOST: My skin is TERRIBLE .What I'm saying is, I'm not one of those people who has minor acne problems like NO. Mine is pretty major . My family doctor recommended me to go on Accutane, but my dermatologist said NO LOL . Thus, I have never been and I am not on Accutane (Although somedays I wish I was). So here it goes.


BTW I HAVE TRIED TONS. I MEAN TOOOOOOOOONS OF PRODUCTS.

1) Ciracle Anti-Blemish Teatree Wash
This is my facial cleanser. I just recently got this (about a week ago) and so far it's OK. It's not a "WOW OMG HoLY GRaIL!!11~~" CLICK HERE to read more about what it "claims" to do.
As for my experience: It's been kind of drying my skin like I have been literally peeling but I am strongly assuming its because I am also on Retin-A Micro as well--which is drying af! anyways, THERE IS A SCENT to it obviously tea scent lol. It does foam up (when you rub your palms).
I like using it so far.
Since I have started using this--it has MINIMIZED my cystic breakouts! :)
RATING: 8.5/10



2) Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion
I have been using this Moisturizer for about 2 years and I LOVE IT. It does moisturize my face and does not cause any breakouts! I have been repurchasing it. And NOPE it does NOT break me out!
( I have been using this less since I got the Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer)
RATING: 9.5/10

3) Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF 15
The reason I bought this is because of its SPF 15! I got this during the summer since I really needed a moisturizer that had SPF in it. I have been switching with my #2 and this one. If I need some hardcore moisturizer I use my #2 one since I think it is more moisturizing! However, I do use this MORE than #2 because of its SPF  . But when I go out during the night time I do use #2 ! It does not really break me out, Although, I'm NOT THAT SURE yet... Hmm.
RATING: 8/10 

4) Eskinol Papaya Smooth White Facial Deep Cleanser (With Pure Papaya Extract)
The funny thing is.. I do not use this for my face at all. LOL , I use it for my neck--to remove the make up (Since I do put powder there). Although, sometimes I do use it on my face to see if there are any left over make up which the face wash did not completely remove (If I know I used a million pounds of foundation). Other than that--It claims to WHITEN the skin and I think it has whitened my neck LOL, I have been using this forever like 2-3 years--because it's my mom's holy grail (She constantly repurchases these so we always have it at home) The reason why I dont often use this on my face is b/c it has alcohol properties ):
RATING: 8/10 

5) Retin-A Micro 0.04
Now, THIS IS my ACNE MEDICATION. My derma said that my face is just bombarded with different kinds of acne scarring (NAME ALL OF THEM--THEY'RE ON MAH FACE!). So he said this is gonna do the trick. I've been using this since the 16th of August so for about 2 months...THE FIRST MONTH AND A HALF WAS HORRIFYING--I was breaking out like CRAZY...It was scary and I was often depressed. I will make a post dedicated to this medication. But for now it is part of my routine (I put it on before I got to bed)
RATING: N/A (Since Im supposed to use it for AT LEAST 3-4 months to see solid results!)

6) Aveeno Baby Eczema Care
Yeah thats right this product is for babies. I only use this around my eyes since theyre not as strong as the regular ones! YES i do get hardcore dry patchy skin around my eyes and you know what I also have Blepharitis! UGH IKR FML. Blepharitis is basically the intense drying of the eyelids. so i just dab this cream onto my lids and yea. It does moisture. But doesnt last very long.
RATING: 7/10







This routine is BY FAR the one that works out for me. It'll probably change sooner or later (it always does). If it does I'll update you guys!
