Céleteque Hydration Facial Moisturizer ~ Review

Hi everyone! I'm going to give a short review of Céleteque's Facial Moisturizer from its Hydration line.

I am so not a moisturizer person. Well after much research, I learned that moisturizers are essentials even for oilies like me. This has been receiving rave reviews on forums, and at the time I really needed a moisturizer, so I bought this and tested it out.


I got this at Watson's, Php127 for the 50ml. There's also a 100ml size for Php210. This is available nationwide.

According to Céleteque:

  • Céleteque DermoScience HYDRATION facial moisturizer has a unique hydrogel formulation that provides the skin with optimum hydration without the greasy after-feel.
  • Its triple moisturizing system contains Glycerin, Pro-Vitamin B5, and Aloe Vera that work deep down to provide lasting relief from skin dryness.
  • Has Dimethicone that seals in the skin's moisture
  • Leaves you with soft, smooth and supple skin

It's dermatologist tested, water-based and oil free, non-comedogenic, hypo-allergenic, and fragrance-free. I thought this was perfect for my oily, acne-prone, sensitive skin.


The first time I tried this was nighttime, after my normal skincare routine sans moisturizer.


Applying this was a joy. Its gel-like consistency spread on smoothly and was easily absorbed by my skin. My face felt cool. True enough, it left my skin soft, smooth and supple. I couldn't believe how perfect this was... almost.

Came morning, I woke up with my face still feeling fresh. I was so surprised I didn't have oil at all. But what I had was three freaking new pimples! Pimples that weren't there last night. I was sooo disappointed, I had high hopes for this moisturizer. Well, I didn't plan on giving up just yet. I still applied it during the day. And then at night. The next morning, guess what, another new pimples! It wasn't my time of the month yet, so it had to be this moisturizer. It sucks but I just had to let it go. It may have been perfect, the application, price, overall experience... but products that cause breakouts are really a deal breaker for me.

It works for lotta gals out there. Sadly, it just didn't cut it for me. But you might want to check it out! It may work for you too. Or have you already tried it? Tell me what you think! (:
