Discovering cheap yet effective beauty hacks in Manila


I am in constant search of whitening products, including soaps in particular. I have a naturally morena skin, although I do not despise my skin shade, sometimes I just want to be a bit lighter for a change.



So last weekend, I devided to buy Gluta - C Intense Whitening soap. The product is actually affordable, for Php 75 you can already have their smallest bar, which is good if you are still starting to try out their line.

So this is how the packaging looks like, with the soap out of the box.



The package says its good for face and body, but I decided to use it for the body alone. I have very sensitive facial skin, so I only use products given by my dermatologist, which by the way I just got to share with you guys. I have been sufferring from recurring pimples and acne for as long as I can remember, until I found this dermatologist in Clinica Manila (SM Megamall) which changed my facial skin forever. But that is a whole new different story.



If you look at the back of the box, you will see that product ingredients seem like a perfect match- Glutathione and Vitamin C are whitening staples. So its great that you can find both in Gluta C
Day 0 - This is how my skin looks like before I started using Gluta C.



Day 2 - This is now how my arms look like upon second day of use. It actually became a shade lighter.



Note that I took the Day 0 and Day 2 photos on the same location under same light conditions with no lotions or any other whitening products.

My Verdict
I am planning to use Gluta C for the next couple of days just to see if it will really do the trick. So far, initial results are satisfying to think that its been only two days since I started using the soap.


Bleaching Creams have became a trend due to its capability to provide immediate whitening results. In a matter of weeks, skin can become two to three shades lighter most especially if the bleaching cream is used with a potent lightening soap.


I have been using Vivid Skin Essential's Afterglow bleaching cream for about more than a month and have seen visible results. Before purchasing Vivid Essentials Afterglow, I have been comparing this to Nyldal's bleaching cream, which costs may more than Vivid's. Nyldal's 500 mg bleaching cream costs Php 1800! while Vivid Essential's Afterglow is only Php 900.

I ordered Vivid Essentials Afterglow through Vivid Essential's Facebook page. Since the product comes from Davao, shipping cost is a bit pricey (Php 180 for 500g to 1kg package).

If you're following my blog, I am a big fan of Vivid Essentials. Here's my review of their Advanced Peeling Set.

For the past two months, I have been using Vivid Essentials whitening products. I came across them by chance upon browsing Instagram, which have become the new buzz in Ph e-commerce since the downfall of Multiply. 


For some of you who have heard Vivid Essentials for the first time, it is actually a successful business based in Davao City. I have used a couple of their products, and now I'm making a review of their Milk Fusion Body Bleaching Scrub.

Here are some of their products that I have also tried: Vivid Essentials Afterglow and Vivid Essentials Advanced Peeling Set.

This is first on the series of reviews that I will write for Vivid Skin Essentials. Vivid Skin Essentials is a Philippine- based business in Davao City. If you have done a couple of researches about this product, you will see a lot of on-line distributors: mostly in Instagram and Facebook. 

If you are like a skin care junkie like me, of course you wanted not only to have the best products but also a bang for your buck. Before I decided to purchase Vivid Skin Essentials products,I have actually compared it to a lot of skin whitening products over Instagram and Facebook such as Nyldal, Skin Potion, One Earth Organics Beauty and Thailand products.
Vivid Skin Essentials Advanced Peeling set: (From Left to Right: Advanced peeling oil for face and body,Collagen Crystal Soap and Luminescence Body Cream)

I would say that Vivid Skin Essentials has the most number of customer feedback: showing actual testimonies of skin peelings and skin whitening. If you check its official Facebook account, it has a good number of followers and testimonies as well - which I think is very important when you are buying on-line. Since Facebook and Instagram doesn't have a feedback mechanism like eBay, most buyers wouldn't have any thing concrete to compare to.

So, when buying products on-line it is important to me to see that it has a robust number of followers and reviews. Another factor that made me purchase Vivid Skin Essentials products, is its price. It is relatively cheaper compared to Nyldal. For example its Vivid Skin Essetial's body bleaching cream costs Php 900 for 500 grams while Nyldal costs Php1800 (almost two times the price)!
