When I tried the Pantene 3 Minute Miracle, I saw the results immediately (Related Post: Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner Review). When I received a Safeguard Derma Sense Face and Body Wash sample, I was hesitant to try it. For one, my OCD won’t let me interrupt my Korean skin care routine (related post: 10 Things You Need To Know About The 10 Steps Korean Skincare Routine). Another thing, takot ako sa dry skin! I am just afraid that it will dry up my skin to the point of breaking ala lupa sa bukirin na sampung taong walang irigasyon. Lastly, it will take some time before I can come up with a truthful review. TIME. big word.

So what made me try it finally? Ang kulit ni Sati eh! Ang dami ko daw red dots! >> ma issue ang bata!

Safeguard Derma Sense promises to:

• help provide noticeable acne reduction
• helps remove acne causing germs and excess oil

I have been using it for more than two weeks already and though my face is still not acne free, I noticed that when an acne appears it dries out easily. I also noticed that acne appearance is lesser. Unlike before, when it usually appears in 3, ngayon solo kayod na lang siya!

Dryness test. It can be drying.. but not the kind of dryness I am expecting. Most facial wash would dry up a 30ish face naman so it didn’t bothered me at all. I suggest that you use a moisturizer after using it. As for me, I just replaced my wash with Safeguard Derma Sense from my routine. I will continue to use it as long as I can see that my acne’s becoming lesser (and smaller) as the day goes by.

Here’s what I do not like about Safeguard Derma Sense, the consistency of the wash is too watery. I always end up with soap on my mouth (eh ang panget ng lasa). The smell is strong too. If it is for body only, the smell is OK but for the face where the nose is, aah it can be overwhelming. I wish they have a facial wash version of Safeguard Derma Sense, since  it usually has thicker consistency.

Ay Wait! While checking Safeguard Philippines Facebook Page, meron na palang facial wash:

Naguluhan ako bigla sa bagong kaalaman.. nawala lahat ng nasa isip kong dapat kong isulat.. inhale.. exhale.. inhale..exhale.. 

Ay wala na talaga! Ayaw na nila bumalik! 

To end this review, ang tanong, Do I recommend Safeguard Derma Sense Face and Body Wash? YES! Use it on your back or chest where acne also appears but for the face, I suggest let’s give the Safeguard Derma Sense Facial Cleanser a try.

My usual self is happy, on the go and full of ideas.. my other self (the one suffering from OCD) gets depressed for no reason at all.. that’s one of the “perks” of having an OCD. I never let that side of me overpower my happy disposition in my life and when it starts to show signs of attack I end with a me time.

ME TIME means a long bath with hot oil and scrub + mani ( I do my own) and make up. That’s how I soothe my OCD 🙂 And this is my current scrub obsession:

I got to try The Cream Factory Bath Cream from last year’s Glamourbox Secret Santa box. After trying it out, I noticed that the smell actually lingers on the skin, also I noticed that my skin is less dry with it. So when I was asked to try out The Cream Factory SCRUB-in-a-TUB, I said yes.

I am not your usual beauty geek, I did not even noticed if the scrub is doing good on my skin (the fact that The Cream Factory Bath Cream made my skin less dry was a realization after I was asked if I noticed how less I put lotion after trying the cream> I only apply lotion on my skin when it becomes flaky> bad girl!) What I like about the scrub is it smells fresh (not overpowering) and I feel very clean after using it. My mom, on the other hand, said she noticed that some of her dark spots lightened (she’s a better reviewer than me! hahaha she’s using an anti wrinkle product and she can make a good review out of it..maybe, it’s about time to have her as my guest reviewer in this blog no?)

I also like the fact that it is in a tub and the tub opens up easily (unlike the bath cream, packaged in a bottle, kinda hard to dispense).

And the tub I got for free is empty! Time to buy another tub 🙂

The Cream Factory SCRUB-in-a-TUB comes in 6 variants and grouped in 3, salty, creamy and yummy. The one I got is Goat’s Milk & Witch Hazel with salt as base. I love salt based scrub (feel na feel ko ang scrubbing haha), I can’t wait to try the Goat’s Milk & Seaweed.

I will also buy a tub for Sati.. yes, she’s too young for body scrubs, but since her legs are super flaky, she needs some scrubbing to exfoliate the skin (too much dead cells). I think the best variant for her is the creamy ones, the mildest and most gentle among the three. Now, I am quite torn which one to get, Jojoba or Honey?

The last among the three is the yummy, when I was asked to choose which ones I like the most, cinnamon takes the cake. I LOVE ANYTHING CINNAMON! (kaso walang stock that time, so I end up with Witch Hazel) Siguro before the Witch Hazel, I’ll try the Cinnamon first.. and with cocoa bean bits, I can now skip dessert, sa skin ko na lang muna haha

Buti na lang may date kame ni Sam later sa Robinsons Galleria..makakabili ng bagong tub 🙂 yes, it is available in Robinsons Galleria Supermarket 🙂
