Worst Facial Moisturizer in the Philippines (Myra E Facial Moisturizer)

Are you a first time user of facial moisturizer and still confused what to buy? It ain't easy to choose what's best moisturizer fits you. There are factors to consider before buying one.

It's almost empty. FYI I tore off the bottom
part. Blame Jerry's foot for covering it.

The first moisturizer I used was Myra E Facial Moisturizer. Since it's my first time to use facial moisturizer, I didn't know what a good moisturizer is. I bought the 10mL sachet (fortunately) for 16.00php for 2 (it's actually buy 1 take 1) . Very good deal, huh! Yes, don't let the price fool you BUT I do believe, really believe that you have and need to invest with what you gonna use on your face.

product first

I used this product for 2 weeks, believe it or not for just two weeks, I had uncountable/numerous/jillion of pimples!!!!! Ghaaaaad!! It broke me out so badly! I never really get pimples. My skin isn't perfect but it's not that sensitive. I can't think of my facial products that could break me out except the Myra E since I've been using them for a long time. (Cetaphil Skin Cleanser, Skin White Advance Facial Cleanser)

Why did I let two weeks to pass before realizing it's the moisturizer that made my face no space for new pimples (so old school :))) panahon pa ng 3310 no space for new message LOL) because at that time red tide is coming so I thought it was the reason of my breakouts. When I noticed it wasn't the normal pimple I am having before the red signal, I then freaked out that I am using a wrong product on my face! Eww!!!! Arteee!!

If only I have my before and after photo of my face when I used this very bad Myra E Facial Moisturizer. This is not an exaggeration but EVERYBODY againnnnn E V E R Y B O D Y was asking me what happened to my face.

If you're wondering why I bought this product, because it's water based. I thought if it's water-based it's automatically considered as non-comedogenic. But I was wrong.

"Non-comedogenic is a term applied to oils, lotions and skin creams that do not block pores "(http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-noncomedogenic.htm)

What are the things you need to know before buying moisturizer?

1. Pay attention to the ingredients not the price. But most of the time, the higher the price the better ingredients.
2. Weather. Duh?! Philippines = Humid!!!! If you are living in a very humid place like me, choose an oil-free moisturizer but make sure it wont break out your skin.
3. Know your skin type. Dry or oily? Pigmented or non-pigmented? Wrinkled or tight? Sensitive or resistant?
4. Sunblock. In my own opinion, moisturizer without sunblock is useless because sunblock will protect your skin from premature signs of aging.

What happened to the other sachet of moisturizer? I am using it on my neck. ^_^ Let's not waste, let's save Mother Earth. Charaught! Poverty/sayang naman. 

Next blog, I'm sooooo excited!!! Imma post how I cure my breakouts using ingredients that, I am a hundred percent sure, is available at home. Yayyyyy!!!! and I might post a review about the new moisturizer I am using right now.
