Is the lack of social activities making you care less about your hair’s condition? You might want to do a quick re-check on your hair condition.
Being indoors does not necessarily mean your hair is completely free from the risks of hair damage. If your hair is showing signs of tutchang, dryness, dullness, and frizz, chances are, it’s damaged. Exposure to heat in the form of hair styling tools, humidity, and chemical treatments weakens your hair’s fibers and strips off nutrients, moisture, and color, causing more damage. Not to mention that continuous use of the wrong haircare products can also harm your strands.
Strengthen your hair’s core and keep it from further damage by using collagen-infused haircare products — the ingredient that has done wonders to the skin.
Introducing My Collagen Miracle
Collagen provides amino acids in your body that then builds proteins to help strengthen hair from root to tip. It also prevents your hair from thinning, discoloration, and more damage. This miracle ingredient has done wonders for the skin and is now making rounds for its hair strengthening benefits.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the power of collagen could be found in a haircare product? You won’t have to deal with regrets when choosing the wrong products again.
Say good riddance to damaged hair when you use the Pantene Collagen Miracle Conditioner — formulated with a blend of Pro-Vitamin B5, miracle serum, and real collagen, that moisturizes hair, targets damaged strands, and strengthens hair that’s frizz-free with salon-like results.
Unlike other conditioners that only have hydrolyzed collagen, Pantene’s Collagen Miracle Conditioner contains real collagen with a triple helix structure that gives support and structure to each hair strand, providing protection from external causes of damage.
Other
Conditioners vs. Pantene Collagen Miracle Conditioner
Use Pantene Collagen Miracle Conditioner daily and save yourself from the hassle of dealing with damaged and dry hair. Instead, enjoy the miraculous salon smooth hair, collagen has to offer.
You don’t need to sweat going out and exposing your hair to the extreme heat and humidity when you can conveniently shop Pantene products from the comfort of your own home and checkout through Lazada or Shopee.

Pimple patches are one of my go to solutions whenever I have an active breakout.
Claims:
This hydrocolloid acne patch protects the skin against dirty water, dust and physical contact. The thin, breathable fabric quickly absorbs impurities while naturally covering problem areas.
Packaging:
This acne patch comes in a resealable sleek metallic blue pouch. Inside you will get 36 patches in total. Packed in three individual peel-off plastic sheets labeled with their corresponding sizes. You will get two sheets of 12mm patches and one sheet of 14mm patches.
How Do I use it:
I clean and dry the problem area first and put on my moisturizer. I choose the correct size for the acne. Applied it directly with the sticky part of the patch.
Review:
I have a combination of dry/oily sensitive skin. This patch helps in sucking the spot fluid without the risk of irritation. I sometimes accidentally pop a pimple whenever I do my skincare routine and this patch protects the pimple for that type of situation.
Thin and Subtle
This patch has a transparent, breathable fabric that covers the acne spot effectively. I used this on a zoom meeting with a client and it remains undetectable.
Great for spot treatment:
This is effective for spot treatment for pimple that is ready to pop, those with a head. I have one on top of my eyebrows and this patch only took 3 days to suck all the gunk out and flatten that pimple. It will take longer for a cystic acne but you can still use the patch as a protective barrier to reduce the risk of poking or irritating the pimple further.
Sticks like glue and handy
The adhesion of this patch is like glue. It doesn't budge or glide even if I use it after I put on my moisturizer or sunscreen. It can remove dead skin as well. The patches are travel-friendly and a space-saver and perfect for those who stay in on their work area or already going to work.

There’s a skincare regimen for everyone. No matter what your age or gender is, it’s vital to take care of your skin’s health and appearance. Remember, it’s never too late to start. Here are seven products from Shopee’s 6.6 sale that can help you in establishing the perfect skincare routine for you:
1. Choose a gentle cleanser.
Proper cleansing is an important step in skincare. It removes dirt, oil and other impurities that could have been clogged inside your pores. Make sure you pick a cleanser that’s mild and designed for your skin type.
2. Pick the right kind of toner.
Some people don’t like toners because they’re probably buying the wrong one - and getting bad results. If chosen and used correctly, toners can moisturize, cleanse, and soothe your skin.
3. Don’t skip the serum.
Most serums have a high concentration of active ingredients that restores cell growth. It’s also full of nutrients that addresses specific concerns so it’s best that you choose the right one for you.
4. Start early on the eye cream.
Eye creams are designed to reduce puffiness, fine lines and dark circles around the eyes. Experts say you should start using eye cream as early as 20 years old and that with regular use, skin around the eyes will stay elastic.
5. Don’t forget the spot treatment.
If you’re prone to acne, it’s best that you include spot treatments as a part of your morning routine. It has active ingredients that help kill bacteria and unclog pores.
6. Moisturize all you want.
Even if you have oily skin, moisturizer is still important. Not only does it serve as protection against harsh conditions, it also keeps your face hydrated and plump-looking.
7. Load up on the sunscreen.
No matter how humid it is, never, ever skip sunscreen as it protects skin from the harmful UV rays from the sun. Aside from that, it also prevents premature aging, lowers skin cancer risks, and prevents sunburns.

It's no secret that I am a fan of Cosrx. I have been repurchasing a lot of their products since I started my K-beauty journey. Given that this brand is a cult favorite because of their good track record when it comes to anti-acne products. I was esctatic when Stylekorean collaborated with this brand to give us the Cosrx AC collection that is suited for acne prone skin.
Here are the common ingredients of all these products:
Centella Asiactica: This ingredients soothes, repairs and heals the skin by minimizing the appearance of pores and blemishes. It also helps stimulate collage production.
Asiaticoside: Promotes wound healing, strengthen collagen formation and has anti-aging properties.
Madecassic acid: Promotes production of collagen.
Cosrx AC Collection Calming Foam Cleanser
Most of my favorite cleansers are made by Cosrx. This cleanser has a pH level of 9 to 9.5. It comes in a 150ml tube-type container and has a very mild scent of lavender. Most people are put off by the salicylic acid ingredient as it can be too drying. It did not dry out my face even if I use it everyday. It helps in removing most of my makeup and sunscreen residues. Surprisingly it did not strip my skin's moisture. When I first used it, I felt a little bit of tightness. People who have dry skin will definitely like this product.

AC Collection Calming Liquid Mild
I have a combination of oily and dry skin. But lately, I have been breaking out due to over-exfoliation. I wanted to try products that will balance my skin PH level while fighting these pesky pimples. The one that I am looking forward to use is this Calming liquid mild.
These products claim that it provides the same treatment as an essence that will help reduce redness and inflammation. I have been incorporating this product for my day and night routine. The toner itself is very mild and has a strong scent of tea tree oil. It does not sting and the consistency is like an essence, light upon application and is easily absorbed. It removes impurities like dirt and excess oil.
It does lessen the redness and it helps in reducing the size of my pimples. I find my face glowing and refreshed the next day. This one has 85% green tea water listed as it's first ingredient.It comes in a 125 ml frosted bottle with twist-type cap. The liquid consistency is like water, transparent and clear. This toner is hydrating and a gentler version of the Cosrx BHA Skin Returning A-sol. Plus points that this toner is alcohol free.

AC Collection Acne Patch
I can't remember how many times I repurchased the original Cosrx pimple patch. It's my go-to acne patch whenever I have an active break out. I fell in love with this upgraded version as I can wear it during daytime without it being too obvious. This acne patch comes with 26 hydrocolloid patches that contains centella asiatica.
This acne patch comes in three different sizes. It includes nine small acne patch 9x13mm, nine medium acne patch 11x16mm and eight large acne patch 15x23mm. The patch is oval-shaped and highly adhesive with a thinner border. This patch saves me time and can target multiple acne areas. If you are acne-prone like me, you will understand that it's quite hard to put multiple patches on a lot of problematic areas.
This patch really helps in covering multiple pimples as it is now bigger and longer. Plus points that it can now cover the break outs on my jaw line and hair line as well. It deflates the pimple and sucks the gunk effectively. I used this on a pimple that was about to pop out on my forehead and the next day, it reduced in size.
Ingredients:
Carboxymethylcellulose sodium, Polyisobutene, Rosin, Polybutene, Mineral oil, Centella Asiatica Extract, Polyuethane film
Rating: I give this acne patch 5 out of 5 as it helps soothes and cover multiple break outs. This has become my favorite acne patch and plus points that this patch is wearable during daytime.
AC Collection Blemish Spot Clearing Serum
This serum comes in a 40ml clear plastic bottle with dropper. The consistency is like water, transparent and clear like the toner. The bottle of the serum is not heavy and can be brought when traveling. This serum claims to calm active breakouts & red spots, clear acne & dark spots, promotes faster skin recovery from scar and uneven texture. No tacky feeling upon application.
It has a mild scent of tea tree oil. Since this serum is easily absorbed, I used this on my day time routine. Putting this before makeup application give me a more hydrated base. I find it is best to pair it with the toner, as it heals most of my active breakout much faster. It does calm down the redness and minimizes scarring.
Rating:I give this serum 4 out of 5 as it calms down the redness and hydrates my skin. I still get break outs but this serum does help with faster wound recovery. Like most serums, this one requires long-term use to fully see the result
This spot cream comes in a white tube with a pointed applicator. It reminds me of the Cosrx centella cream but in a tube form. It has a creamy texture that leaves a white cast so you have to blend it well and apply a very thin layer if you are going to use it on your day time routine. I prefer using this on my night time routine coz I don't really have much time to blend in the morning. It has a mild tea tree scent like the toner and serum. It works well in reducing the size of the small pimples. For cystic acne you have to apply this for a longer period of time. It has a brightening effect on the area that you applied it in.
Ingredients:
Propolis Extract, Butylene Glycol, Niacinamide, Panthenol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Ethylhexylglycerin, Glycerin, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate, Allantoin, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate, Asiaticoside, Asiatic acid, Madecassic acid, Helianthus Annus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Sucrose distearate, Glyceryl Strearate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Dipropylene Glycol, Ceramide NP, rh-Oligopeptide-1v

AC Collection Ultimate Spot Cream
Rating:I give this spot cream 4 out 5 because it helps in reducing inflammation. However, it leaves a white cast when you apply it in the morning. It's hard to control the amount of product that is going to be dispensed due to the packaging
Rating:I give this moisturizer 4 out 5 because it is light weight and reduce the redness of my face. Would not recommend this moisturizer for cold weather or those who live in an area with cold climate as you need a much more heavy moisturizer for that.
Ac Collection Lightweight Soothing Moisturizer
It has a creamy consistency and comes in an 80ml white tube with twist-type cap. It has aloe vera leaves extract, propols extract and green tea that helps in moisturizing and soothing the skin. It has a non-sticky feeling upon application. Easily absorbed by the skin and light weight. It helps reduce the redness of my skin.

Rating:I give this moisturizer 4 out 5 because it is light weight and reduce the redness of my face. Would not recommend this moisturizer for cold weather or those who live in an area with cold climate as you need a much more heavy moisturizer for that.
Progress:
I still have active break outs but I can say that it's now manageable. I was able to prevent a cystic acne to form on my chin. It was actually starting to hurt and I thought by the next day it will become bigger. But after three days, the size was reduced. The pimple on my cheeks was very red on the first day and due to continued usage of the AC collection, it helped in reducing the redness. You can also see that I look more hydrated in the second picture. I think with long-term use my desired result will be achieved.
