How Much Is Laneige Skin Care Set?

A lot of people has been asking me how much is Laneige Skin Care Set. Or how much do you need to start the Korean Skin Care routine. When I started doing this routine, I tried The Face Shop skin care (it is cheaper) first before using Laneige. I want to see first if the 10 steps Korean Skin Care is really effective and if I can really do all the routines. After finishing a set from The Face Shop (I used the green tea), I decided to give Laneige a try.

I first bought Laneige Hydration Trial Kit for 2000 Pesos. It lasted for more than 2 months and after two sets, I started buying full sized bottle. If my memory serves me right, I first bought the refiner then the emulsion and so on and so on. I’m glad I did it that way because if I bought all the products at once, I’ll be broke LOL

When I computed How Much Is Laneige Skin Care Set, the amount was close to 10,000 Php! Ay! I can’t imagine myself spending that much to skin care. Nakakaloka! If you will buy all the products in the trial set in full sizes, here’s how much you need to spend:

Laneige Multi Cleanser- P1320
Laneige Power Essential Skin Refiner- P1300
Laneige Balancing Emulsion- P1800
Laneige Water Bank Essence- P1950
Laneige Water Bank Gel Cream- P1750
Laneige Water Sleeping Pack_EX- P1400

TOTAL: P9520

Oha?!? Can you really spend that much on skin care in one buying? Siguro, pero masakit sa bulsa di ba?!? So if you’re planning to buy a complete set of Laneige Skin Care, start with the trial set and build your stash from there.

But if you really must buy all in one shopping, head on to Althea Ph. How Much Is Laneige Skin Care Set in Althea Ph?

Korean Skin Care Routine Experience

First and foremost, I am not an expert in Korean Skin Care Routine. I only started the skin care routine a few years back (posted this one year ago: 10 Things You Need To Know About The 10 Steps Korean Skincare Routine). But I noticed a visible change on my skin.. it is softer, less pores and not to mention brighter! And it’s less oily now.. and when it comes to coverage, I only use Olay CC cream and I’m good to go.

My Korean Skin Care Routine Experience

Korean Products To Use

In terms of products to use, it doesn’t need to be 100% Korean brands. I use Safeguard Derma Sense Facial Cleanser as my facial wash. It really helped in controlling my break outs. It’s a bit drying but my moisturizer did a good job in compensating it.

As for my other skin care products, most of them are Laneige. I also use Cure and Dermal for exfoliation and rejuvenation.

On Exfoliation

I have learned that when you exfoliate, you need to rejuvenate. You need to use a mask (or a repair cream)after using peeling gel or facial scrub. The scrub/ peeling strips your skin of its moisture so you need to replace that by using mask or repair cream.

When it comes to exfoliation, it usually comes after toner… usually but not most of the times. Here’s a guide:

Wash> peeling gel/ scrub> toner> emulsion> mask
Wash> peeling gel/ scrub> toner> repair cream (Laneige)> emulsion

You don’t have to rinse facial mask that is why you can use it after applying emulsion. Laneige Multiberry Yogurt Repair Pack on the hand needs rinsing so you need to use that BEFORE emulsion.

Start From Something

If the steps are overwhelming or the products are expensive, you don’t have to do or use it right away. You just need to start something. Start from the basic:

wash
toner
moisturize

Use a toner that is alcohol free. When I was just starting, I use Safeguard Acne Wash> Olay Toner> Olay Moisturizer. It’s a very cheap alternative and Olay is really effective.

From that, I shifted to a more complex routine. I used some products from Tony Moly (toner) and The Face Shop. Then I tried Laneige but since it’s more expensive than TFS products, I started with the their kit. The kit usually lasts a month and it’s only 2000 Pesos. After using 2 kits, I started buying the full size bottle by bottle. Each bottle usually last more than 2 months.

When you’re done with the basic (wash> toner> moisturize), slowly add more routines. Exfoliate at least once a week and don’t forget your eyes. Eye cream are as much important as facial moisturizer. YES, you need an eye cream! The skin under your eyes is different from your face skin.

Other products worth investing

Make Up Remover specially for your eyes.
Facial Mist (gives moisture when you’re out) and Clear C Advanced Effector (brightens the skin!)

Sleeping mask to keep your skin hydrated even when you’re sleeping.

Best lip moisturizer ever! This is always out of stock at my favorite Laneige kiosk.. because hello!?! it is that effective.

That’s one of the best thing I discovered with most Korean Skin Care Brands, they’re generous on samples! You may have noticed that my Laneige Multiberry Yogurt are in sample sizes.. those are samples! I have a bag full of Laneige product samples.

Lastly, the best cotton to use for your facial care is the circle one and this is it should be used:

The edges of the cotton can be rough and creates friction with the skin. I learned that the hard way!

How about you?!? What’s your skin care routine? Have you tried the Korean Skin Care Routine? You should! Or at least try the basic routine. Your face needs water as much as you do!

My Nanay’s Olay #BestBeautiful Story

Eksena sa ES Transport:

Si Madir, nakakipagtalo sa kondoktor…

“Nakita mo na nga puti buhok ko.. ayaw mo pa rin ako bigyan ng Senior discount*! Etong ID ko para maniwala ka!”

Anong saaaay nyo?!?

Ang bongga ni Madir di ba? Kahit pang white Christmas na ang hair, hindi pa rin mukhang senior..

Anong secret? Wala no, Olay lang yan..

She can’t live, leave home without moisturizers on her face and body.. nangangati daw sya eh.. Knowing she loves putting moisturizer on her face, I gave her the Olay set I got from Downy Timeless event.

Of course the difference in color is due to lightning.. ung first photo was taken sa apartment namin while the recent one is from my mansion. But look at her wrinkles! And the pekas!

She uses it once a day lang daw… sa umaga lang pag kaligo nya. And look at the dissappearing wrinkles after 3 monthsof use!

Eh sino nga mag aakala na senior citizen sya with disappearing wrinkles!

I buy Olay Regenerist from Watsons, sometimes from Lazada, pero minsan from Indonesia (ang mura dun e!)

How to use the Olay Regenerist?

Apply Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre- Essence after cleansing and toning (use Safeguard Dermasense for cleansing and Olay Toner for toning). How much to apply, one full dropper is enough for the whole face.
Apply Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti Aging Moisturizer.

Do it daily to see faster result.. si Mudra sa umaga lang nya ginagawa eh.. and she’s not used to toning.

*As provided in our Constitution, the state is duty-bound to recognize the rights of senior citizens by providing support though various social systems. Thus, senior citizens are granted benefits and privileges that range from 20% discount and VAT exemption to mandatory membership in the government’s healthcare system, Philhealth.
