GODIVA SKINCARE PRODUCTS... any comments?

[mt56]

hi! i don't know if there's already a thread on this one but anyhow, i'll still try my luck... just wondering if you guys have tried any of their products? hope to hear either good or bad reviews... thanks!

[CoolCucumber]

oo nga, any comments? may nakita akong toner nila kanina lang sa mercury. i wanna try it sana kaso nagaalangan ako. kayo, anong say niyo?

[desdemona]

cool, i didn't know that there's Godiva skin care products. i only know Godiva chocolate :)

[juve_grrrl10]

their website is at http://www.godivaskincare.com

i use their deodorant and it WORKS. doesn't itch like commercial brands. most importantly: hindi nakakaitim! a bit expensive at P98, but definitely worth it. their facial powder is also good, matches my skin tone well and really absorbs oil (unlike other so-called oil-controlling powders).

i'm just beginning to use the fruit acid revitalizing complex... and beginning to notice slight improvement on my skin.

obviously i'm a fan of their products already. their prices may be a bit steep but like i said, they work so they're worth it. also helps that you patronize a local company so in a way you help the economy as well, haha :D

[Bea19]

ok na ok *** sunblock nila...matte finish talaga tpos kahit pawisan ka hindi pa rin mag oily ang skin mo ...ura pa sya less than P100 tapos 1 month or more syang mag last.

[SpellbindMedia]

I like their soap, parang Neutrogena

[flowerhorn]

i bought the starter kit.. :) nagamit ko na sya in 7 days and talagang nag whiten skin ko.. di tulad ng ibang products na puro pangako... eto talagang totoo :D

dati mura lang tong godiva na to e.. bat biglang naging mahal from 30 pesos naging 75 pesos na ang licorice soap nila

[Lucio_Liu]

this is an underrated products! mas effective pa nga tong mga skincare nila kaysa PONDS (nagbreak out ang acne ng cousin ko dahil sa Ponds na yan!). Buti na lang nung nag Godiva siya, nalessen na at unti unting nawala. Media hype lang kasi yang extraderm anf Ponds. I'm using it also, and its VERY effective.

marami rin akong relatives na ganito ang gamit... sana wag na sila mag taas ng presyo.. hayyyyy :D ang galing talaga ng pinoy!

[pattybee]

I've been using their deodorant and I like it :)

[dragueur]

i tried their deo na rin, ok sya...no scent, but i don';t use it anymore. na try ko na din yung whitening cream nila, ok din sya kaya lang, parang hanggang don lang pagka white nya, after parang d na nagwo-work. also, i've tried their astringent, soap n yung cream for blemishes...oks lang, parang wala lang...

[great_escape]

I see most of you guys have tried their deodorant. YOu say it effectively whitens underarms but does it keep you from B.O.?

[anguissette]

They help even out skin tone, and I don't break out when i use their stuff. Great smell.

****, pinoy sila? cool! kala ko stateside. I thought they're the same company as Godiva chocolates :glee:

how about *** mga pang-face (for everyday use)? ok ba? mga how much un?

[kerb]

my sis use it. :P she said its effective daw. mahal nga lang.
she even gave me one! ;)

[juve_grrrl10]

mahal ang Godiva compared sa "mass-produced" comm'l brands, pero compared sa mga foreign/int'l skincare products, mura na siya. saka oks lang talaga yung presyo, worth it talaga.

ito yung mga prices na alam ko:
licorice whitening antiperspirant deodorant - P98
fruit acid revitalizing complex (20g) - P200+
pressed powder - P160
refill - P90+
squalene anti-stress lotion (100ml) - P85

BTW, iba yung prices na nasa website nila, mas mahal! (like the deodorant goes for $6) malamang for customers abroad ang rates na ito

[doii]

yung sunblock ba nila for the face pwede for swimming?

[charmedPrue]

puro whitening products lang ba sila? i'm looking for a godiva product na parang ponds ang dating, *** deep cleansing lang (without any whitening effect)... meron ba nun?

[seeker89]

I've been using their face powder for years now. Looks great on pinay skin.

[avonlea]

meron silang website pero $ ang presyo... www.i-godiva.com

at isa pa... www.godivaskincare.com

yung niece ko dati ginagamit yung soap, pero hindi regular ang paggamit niya... tapos ng ginamit niya uli, merong uod dun sa soap... hindi na siya gumamit...

pero ok ang deo nila kasi walang amoy...

[Bea19]

*** sunblock for the face...hidni nakalagay kung water resistant kaya feeling ko di sya pwdng pang swimming...day wear lang ****...

[ann3]

tried their deo.. oks naman kaso roll-on kasi kaya parang basa di tulad ng stick.. pero ok narin

tapos *** licorice whitening nila... pwede na rin kaso it takes time to see the difference...:p

[grobanite]

tried their green tea soap --> didn't work for me. made my skin drier than usual.

[PEGaSUS 038]

i thought they made chocolate

[spaghetti]

do you think worth it ang bumili ng whole package nila?

[car728]

maybe you should buy 1 or 2 products muna to see kung hiyang sayo... sayang naman if you buy a ton of their products but end up not using any kase di bagay sayo.

[Lucio_Liu]

after irecommend ito sa akin ng ka officemate ko, i will definitely recommend this also.
Tagal na akong naghahanap ng product na makakapgpapatigil sa break out ng skin ko, e eto lang pala, 2 weeks ko pa lang ginagamit, wala na akong taghiyawat. ang galing! kung saan saan pa ako nagpunta -> dermclinic, clinica dermatologica, etc.. nakagastos pa ako ng more than 5,000 bucks wala namang nangyari. Samantalang eto (anti blemish soap - 75, anti blemish astringent - 70 and cream - 250), only cost me less than 400 bucks and it's very effective. i dont usually give testimony, gusto ko lang i share yung happiness na nararamdaman ko using their product.

1 month n akong hindi nagkakapimple. then *** pimple scars..nwawala n. before kc konting puyat lang...nagkk pimple agad ako. e mahilig p **** ako gumimik....



100% EFFECTIVE...............THANX GODIVA!

[Soccer_6]

I've used before yung clear soap nila na whitening daw..ok lang..siguro you have to use it continously...ako kasi impatient eh..i'll try to use other product na kagad..

[pinay24]

I heard alot about GODIVA products though I have never use any but for those who are welling to have fair complexion I heard there products are good or probably the best(without taking anything).

It is probably the natural skin whitening compared to any pills(which is harmful to anyones health).

[~silentgurl~]

ive tried their anti-blemish astringent,d ngwork ***...d *** **** ko ***** hiyang sa godiva

[C.I.C.C.I]

ang produkto nila ba ay para pampaputi lang? wala ba sila yong pang papantay ng kulay

[spongebum]

ako anti-acne/blemish cream, OK sha!

[jam888]

ok ang deo, wala pang fragrance na mahahalo sa perfume mo! :)

[im@home]

usin' their deo- ok naman, but I dont think pumputi *** :-/
the smell/feel is ok though.

[pinay24]

Sa naghahanap ng skin lightening/whitening for permanent results daw try nyo yong bodybleach. No need sunscreen daw since it doesnt contain hydroquinone daw. They offer free samples(2 samples) din just pay shipping & handling. Mostly daw results can be seen in 7 days. LOL

http://www.bodybleach.com/

[riaqt119]

i read from another forum na may pampa-lighten na rin ang godiva ng lips. available na ba tong lip balm na to dyan sa pinas? and does it actually work?

thanks!

[illumina]

Why have anti-blemish cream for acne-prone skin when it's already oily? :confused:

I'm using that regimen. That's my only beef though. But it's working. But still....

[spaghetti]

how would you compare Pond's products from Godiva?

[illumina]

With Godiva, I can actually see and feel the effects. :lol:

[Whatevia Ghost]

Saan ba available ang mga Godiva products?

[juve_grrrl10]

^^ Mayroong Godiva sa SM (department & supermarket), Landmark, Watson's, Mercury... kahit sa Hortaleza!

May website din sila http://www.godivaskincare.com

[firestorm]

The Godiva lightening lip gloss became an instant hit when it was made available in Manila early this year. (Foreign customers got it first before Manila?!) Madalas stock out ang mga outlets because of rave reviews from users. Really effective in turning dark lips to pinkish tinge...even for nipples too! I just wonder for which application has greater demand, lips or nipples?

[^glamgirl^]

di ba sabi sa instruction 2wice a day daw pag apply ng lotion? okay lang ba if once a day lang? will u see the effect on 7 days? and if u used it for longer din ba mas magiging white ka pa ba?as in pa white ka ng pa white the longer u use it? answer nyo po thanks :)

[firestorm]

I suppose if you use the lotion once a day only, you will get slower result than when following the twice a day instruction. There is a limit as to how light you can be with any whitening product, and the most reasonable expectation is getting back your original skin color, but aspiring for one to two tones lighter than original color is not impossible although more difficult to achieve with most people.

bagong bili ba yung soap o matagal na siyang nasa storage? kadiri naman yang soap

[firestorm]

Godiva's soaps are all transparent. You can therefore easily see if there is uod in a new Godiva soap. That must be a case of improper storage by the user kasi nakita daw ang uod after a while.

Some creams can be made oil-free, and Godiva anti-blemish cream is one of them.

[dawndevil27]

godiva, most of their products contain licorice extract. effective naman sakin un, pero di ako satisfied sa whitening power nito. i like *** fruit acid complex, nagppeel *** face ko pero maliliit lang at hindi sha dry tingnan.

[firestorm]

I also like the Godiva fruit acid cream. I apply it every night and I feel my skin is more youthful and moisturized.

[ladyhushtilla]

da best GODIVA lightening lip gloss

[firestorm]

Do you use the lip gloss on the lips or also on nipples?

[mountain_ph]

the fruit acid cream really works wonders! pampabata talaga effect niya.

[dihjeixx]

i used their acne cream.. and my pimple scars got whiter..

[-spring-]

how do use the acne cream and fruit acid cream? can u suggest soap/lotion combi for the whole body? =)

[firestorm]

If you use Godiva anti-blemish (acne) cream, you won't need anymore the Fruit Acid cream. Once-a-day application before bedtime is usually sufficient.

For whole body lightening, twice daily application of Godiva whitening lotion is recommended, after cleansing with whitening bath soap. I use the bath soap only once daily.

[funlove]

i love Godiva products. i've been stuck in using the deo for quite a while now, no regrets.. coz there's no perspiration and no odor.

right now, i'm also using their anti-blemish soap, sunblock cream, and just recentry trying out their fruit acid complex and whitening cream.. hindi naman masyadong halatang addicted, ryt? no, was just curious about trying the other products of Godiva since hiyang ako...

[firestorm]

You should try their lightening lip gloss. It's great!

[yacarob]

hey! im using the anti blemish regimen... if that's the case, can i still use the fruit acid regimen?

[timeless]

Ang alam ko, may fruit acid (AHA) ingredient na ang anti-blemish cream.

[-spring-]

hw long before mag take effect *** whitening lotion? =)
sa face po,ano gamitin for lightening?

[timeless]

Pag face, dapat cream. Lotion is for other body parts.

[-spring-]

thanks timeless! =)

[firestorm]

hw long before mag take effect *** whitening lotion? =)


Initial effect can be seen in as early as 7 days for most, according to Godiva, but don't count on it cuz each person will have a different experience. Hiyangan lang kung minsan.

[-spring-]

tnx firestorm =)

[renzkie1]

Satisfied user din ako ng Godiva products...
Thanks sa mga PEXers people out there for their suggestions...

[speeka]

bumili ako kanina ng anti-blemish cream..

ok na ba yun? or kailangan complete set talaga with anti-blemish soap and astringent for best results as stated there..hehe.

ok lang ba gamitin ko yung astringent for oily skin ? kasi yung ilong ko lang ang oily saken eh.

[firestorm]

If you have break-outs, dapat siguro you use the complete anti-blemish set. Break-outs kasi mean panic time so you have to follow strictly the regimen. But if you just want to control skin oiliness, baka puede na ang soap and astringent lang. Baka lang, just thinking out loud. Or maybe that is false economy and may result in acne break-outs now and then. Let's hear the experience of others.

[speeka]

yung anti-acne cream ba dun lang dapat talaga sa affected areas? hindi ba advisable na iapply all over my face para maiwasan ang breakouts? :)

tsaka sabay kong ginagamit yung fruit acid and anti-acne cream..ayos lang kaya un?

[bagel]

My mom's lips certainly looked nicer after using the lightening lip gloss but I'm really curious if anyone has actually used this stuff on their "nips"? What's the effect like? :D

[Cookie_Mobster]

effective sya sa nips and lips.. hahah.. pero ms matagal magpink yung nips.. yung lips kasi 1 week lang kita ko na effect..

i also like their face powder pero yung sponge nya is next to useless.. :p

[speeka]

after a month of using godiva anti-blemish astringent,anti-blemish cream and yung fruit acid cream...nag-improve talaga ang mukha ko! hehe. tnx to this thread !!! kaya lang ako nag godiva kasi nabasa ko ** sa pex..dati kasi ayoko i-try. basta so far i'm happy with the result. sana tuloy-tuloy pa ang pag improve ng skin ko.

[illumina]

Same here...I've been using the lip gloss (on my lips, heh) for a week now, and I can really see the results. *okay* My lips look Angelina Jolie-esque now. :lol:

Everything else works for me, but for some reason, I'm allergic to the face powder.

[timeless]

I agree. Their pressed powder is even better than MAC, but Godiva should improve the sponge. Daling matanggal ng logo. And once it is washed, hirap ng gamitin. It's good they sell replacement sponge but still, this is one area Godiva has to improve on.

[shoe_addict]

hi just want to share lang po about Godiva products.

i use the under arm and lip gloss and the whitening cream. The product for me works also i ahve sensitive skin, godiva has no alcohol and fragrance free. for the under arm, i like it kasi di nag stain sa shirt and wala scent. usualy d probs with deo mag stain sa damit and sooner dry and it hardens sd cloth s shirt. it easily dry for me. i just started using d lip gloss 3 weeks ago, effective also and my cousin tried it on her nip, it has improvement. white ing cream is good also, i use it to lighten some dark sopts in my body sa scars.

[timeless]

I just bought my supply of Godiva Whitening Anti-perspirant/ Deo, one of my favorites kasi effective talaga. It now has a sticker on the cap with the following text: "For maximum wetness protection, apply before bedtime." Does this mean it will work better as anti-perspirant if applied at night? Paano pag maligo ka sa umaga? Do I have to apply again in the morning? Please help.

[i_am_athena]

I would like to ask if Godiva only sell whitening products? What about if you just want to have an even skin tone? Do they have any?

[firestorm]

The whitening products will also work to give you even skin tone. Just spot apply on dark or discolored areas.

Ok talaga yung lipgloss since I'm a smoker. Ok din sakin yung whitening anti-perspirant / deodorant nila. *okay*

I guess dapat i-try muna talaga yung prod since hindi naman lahat pwedeng hiyang agad.

I think it's alright to use the whitening and anti-blemish products at the same time. Just allow maybe five minutes in-between application. Yong Godiva lip gloss, pag pinkish na lips mo, lessen your use to every other day or so to prevent your lips from going pale.

[cayote_babe_06]

I think you should not use the anti-blemish astringent and whitening astringent one-after-another. You might overdry your skin. Use one in the morning and the other astringent in the evening. The others, ok lang siguro.

[cayote_babe_06]

id be happy kung mag dry na nga talaga ng tuluyan muka ko hehe

can u also advise me if theres anything i can do bout my pimples?
cuz i have 1 in my forehead...i made kutkot my pimples and it freaked me out dahil nagmuka sya bulutong :( its kinda pangit tingnan kasi nagsugat talaga siya... its so red now and i think eventually mangingitim..anything i can do with it? with the help of my godiva?:(

[yeah_boii!!!]

*** is/are blemishes?

ano dapat ko gamitin?
e kc *** mukha ko medyo hindi na ** smooth...
unlike b4 na kutis baby(hehe kapal!)...
***** hindi na!!!
huhuhu!!!

[illumina]

The AB astringent and cream also have the licorice whitening agents anyway. You could drop the whitening muna.... Or, yeah, kahit use AB astringent and cream during the day, and the whitening astringent and cream at night. I've never used the whitening regimen, but halatang pumuti yung face ko anyway.

In between my Godiva AB + fruit acid revitalizing complex regimen, I also sneak in an application of Benzac AC all over my face. My skin has never looked better! I used to have really oily skin, but not anymore. :D

[_warshock_]

same kaya yung effect ng lipgloss sa female user at sa male user? how about male smokers?

[Faustina]

^ I guess same lang effect on both males and females.

I'm female and I smoke, and after less than a week of religiously using the lipgloss, nag-lighten na lips ko. *okay*

Yong Godiva anti-blemish cream, pang acne na, pang acne scars pa. May exfoliation and whitening action din kasi. You can spot apply to lighten acne scars.

I find the Godiva green tea sunblock difficult to apply. But I found a way to solve this. On mornings, I apply Godiva whitening cream. Immediately after, I apply the Godiva sunblock. Because my skin is still damp with the whitening cream, it is now easier to spread the sunblock. Try this also!

[zinnia]

i love the godiva lip gloss! :) actually i have 2... isa sa bahay, isa sa bag. hehe. after a week or so, u'll see a difference na :)

Nabasa ko sa Inquirer, Assunta is the new endorser of Godiva.

[timeless]

Why Assunta? Di maputi si Assunta, di ba?

[Austin_20]

yup si Assunta, i saw her sa Godiva station sa Makati nung nagpadiamond peel ako.

[timeless]

Ang nakasabay ko one time sa Godiva Skin Station sa Makati ay si Chinchin
Gutierrez.

[timeless]

Why Assunta? This excerpt of a write-up on Assunta in Manila Bulletin, June 11, 2006 issue will explain it:

Now that she’s Godiva’s official endorser, Assunta wants to address women out there who are not born with white skin that beauty is in your natural color. She admitted that she used to be unhappy and unsatisfied with her olive skin and there was a time that she was obsessed with all kinds of whitening products. Times, however, have changed and she realized she must be happy with the skin that she was born with.

"When you say whitening product, the person who should endorse it should have fair skin. That’s what I thought before but when the people of Godiva explained to me that Godiva enhances your natural color and that you don’t have to be white to be beautiful, I accepted their offer right away," she shared.

[firestorm]

Agree. You don't have to be white to be beautiful. Tigilan na kasi dapat ang sobrang emphasis sa pagiging maputi para maging maganda.

The Godiva skin-care campaign shift

‘Be proud of your natural beauty’

By Terrie B. Fucanan

ALTHOUGH nearly every skin-care brand in the market has joined the skin-whitening bandwagon, one of the trend’s pioneers has unexpectedly rehashed its campaign to advocate natural beauty. Hence its new slogan: “Beautiful skin does not have to mean white. The best skin color is the one you’re born with. Be proud of your natural beauty.”

The campaign is positive and promising, but it may be Godiva’s riskiest move as well, given that the 10-year-old local skin-care brand is strongly identified as a leader in the skin-whitening business. It was the first to introduce in the Philippines the licorice extract—an expensive but clinically proven whitening ingredient, through soaps, lotions, toners and creams, which jump-started the trend in the beauty market.

Speculators believe that the new campaign may only shake up the brand’s already strong consumer base, and spark confusion as to its genuine position on the issue of beauty.

Notes young lawyer Anne, a Godiva user: “It’s a vague shift. All its products have a whitening ingredient. The new campaign doesn’t complement the product.”

Says Lyn, a 24-year-old office employee: “Why do I need to use the product then if I should be proud of my natural beauty?”

Godiva president Fred Reyes issued a practical explanation about the company’s campaign shift. On June 8 at the formal launch of the Godiva Natural Beauty campaign, he pointed out: “The whitening rage has gone overboard already. We want to correct it.”

An effective whitening product cannot miraculously transform dark skin to white. But it can lighten and even out skin tone, remove blemishes and discolorations and make the skin clearer and more radiant—depending on the person’s skin type and the frequency of product use.

In a clinical trial report in 2002, licorice showed lightening improvements to skin with melasma in seven days. Vitamin C ranked second, hydroquinone came third, while kojic acid and melawhite came in fourth and fifth place in terms of rate of activity.

Reyes pointed out that some skin-care manufacturers have gone out of control in its inaccurate claims about whitening, with some brands already carrying harmful chemicals in their products that may cause allergic reactions and overtime, even skin cancer.

Such worsening phenomenon, he said, prompted the company to change its marketing position. “Our products use natural ingredients that are proven safe and effective. As we highlight this we also want to tell our consumers to not overdo themselves with whitening products,” Reyes said. “We should all be proud of our own complexion, as long as it is even toned, clear and clean.”

To clearly impart this new message the company signed up a one-year endorsement deal with the actress Assunta de Rossi. Reyes said his company believes the young wife of Negros Occidental Rep. Jules Ledesma would best embody Godiva’s new catchphrase: “You do not have to be white to be beautiful.”

The 23-year-old actress couldn’t agree more. She confessed: “I used to be obsessed with whitening products. I wasn’t happy with my color.”

Several years of trying out various whitening products only gave her frustration. “I realized I should be happy with my olive skin,” she said. “Besides, even if I turn white, it wouldn’t look good on me because my skin’s undertone is yellow. I’d only look yellowish instead of fair.”

Reyes added: “People are born with naturally soft and even-toned skin. But due to stress and harsh elements, the skin loses its natural glow. This is what our brand works to achieve—bring back the best in your natural beauty.”

Godiva Inc. started marketing the Godiva Natural Skin Care product line in 1996 through the assistance of its sister company, Chemworld Marketing Corp. Chemworld was then having difficulty selling licorice extract to local skin-care product manufacturers, for a kilo of its purified form costs P1 million today.

The Godiva skin-care line paved for the wonder ingredient’s penetration into the local beauty industry. In 2000 the company expanded its reach worldwide through the online store www.godivaskincare.com, and in 2004 and 2005 it opened the Godiva Skin Station, a beauty and wellness center at SM Fairview and Makati Bel-Air.

Reyes vowed that his company will stand firm in promoting natural beauty, and the responsible use of whiteners and other beauty aids in the years to come. Finally, he said, Godiva has found its rightful position in the market, beyond the bounds of excessive commercialism.

“It’s about time a beauty product make this kind of claim,” says Jeje Jose, a whitening product user. “It’s honest, straightforward and socially responsible.”

*** whitening soap pag tumgal mas nauuna pang pumuputi kesa sa mukha ko di na sya transparent..

[firestorm]

Talagang ganoon ang lahat ng transparent soap. Hindi dapat mababad sa tubig dahil namumuti agad.

[vindicated]

ei everyone!

kala ko nung una associated to sa godiva chocolates... ano nga ba? hehe

ive been using the anti-blemish toner for a month and ok naman natigil na ang mga pagsulputan ng mga favorite kong acne hehe

ok siya for a guy like me na loyal ang mga pimples! hehe

recently bought the anti-blemish cream... medyo lito lang ako e...

pwd ba sa buong muka i-apply or dapat sa affected areas lang talga?
spot apply?? sori pero ngayon ko lang to naencounter since nd naman ako gumagamit ng cream.

last question... ok din b yung soap?

thanks

[firestorm]

Pag suki ka ng acne, mas mabuting i-apply mo yong anti-blemish cream sa whole face. Pag paminsan-minsan lang ang break-outs, okay na yong spot application.

[f3mm3_fatal3]

i've been reading this thread a lot of times already. i had acne breakouts since i went back to the philippines last year. i am not really sure why/how i got it because i only stayed in the states for 6 months and i never really had acne before, even when i was still in puberty.

anyway, i tried the anti-blemish regimen: soap, astringent and cream. in two days, i noticed on my face changes already! my zits stopped being "pasaway" and they all dried up. the scars did lightened but i noticed it after 2 weeks of religious application.

also i had a facial, after a month of application and the lady said that i have a "clean" face, i didn't have much white heads/black heads daw... it surprised me, because i used to have a lot on my nose.

galing!!! :D

[timeless]

Galing-galing! (Expression ni Ariel Ureta na narinig ko sa ANC.)

[mhae]

tinry namin yung pampa-red ng Lips.... my ate noticed my lips is getting lighter (pinker).... ang saya kung ganon!!! ibig sabihin effective!

[MommyG]

Effective at safe ba talaga ang Godiva? I hear a lot of good results with the product pero takot pa akong subukan siya.

[timeless]

Kung safety ang concern mo, tingin ko, over the years ay proven safe na talaga ang Godiva. All ingredients ng products ng Godiva ay listed sa label and package, one of the first local brands to do so maski hindi required. Kung sa effectiveness naman, as with any brand, siguro hiyangan lang yan.

[bhekoy14]

YES it works nmn... maganda nmn ang godiva products.. pati *** nude face powder nila.

[MommyG]

Thanks. I will try the pressed powder and the lip gloss and see how they work.

[MommyG]

Thanks. I will try the pressed powder and the lip gloss and see how they work. Saan ba available ito?

Oops, sorry. Nag multiple post pala ako. Paano ba magdelete? Newbie lang ako dito kasi.

[Setup]

after irecommend ito sa akin ng ka officemate ko, i will definitely recommend this also.
Tagal na akong naghahanap ng product na makakapgpapatigil sa break out ng skin ko, e eto lang pala, 2 weeks ko pa lang ginagamit, wala na akong taghiyawat. ang galing! kung saan saan pa ako nagpunta -> dermclinic, clinica dermatologica, etc.. nakagastos pa ako ng more than 5,000 bucks wala namang nangyari. Samantalang eto (anti blemish soap - 75, anti blemish astringent - 70 and cream - 250), only cost me less than 400 bucks and it's very effective. i dont usually give testimony, gusto ko lang i share yung happiness na nararamdaman ko using their product.

I agree. I've used Godiva's Anti-Blemish Cream and it worked for me. My acne scars lightened up. :) Although hindi pa siya completely nawawala, I can see the results already. :)

[**blingbling**]

after reading all your comments regarding this product, parang **** ko na rin bumili ng GODIVA. i wanna try the anti-blemish cream. i dunno if i should try d anti-blemish soap and astringent too. parang gusto ko rin i try yung fruit acid something nila...

i read from their newsletter that don't have to use the fruit acid revitalizing complex nila if you're gonna use the anti-blemish cream kasi part na sya ng ingredients nun :) http://www.geocities.com/godivaskincare/march_2006/wk4_issue108.htm

as per my previous post, nag-work ang anti-blemish set for me. dami na nga nakakapansin na ang ganda daw ng skin ko ngayon. nakakatuwa lang kasi sa dami ng tinry ko, eto lang pala ang magwo-work for me and to think it's a lot cheaper. :blush:

[MommyG]

Godiva pressed powder is not only that good, it is actually better than more expensive brands I have tried. Buti na try ko siya.

With the lip gloss, I am still waiting for results. Naging soft na ang lips ko and there is some lightening on my lower lip but it's my upper lip that I want to really lighten. Will give more updates later.

[bhekoy14]

I’m using Godiva fruit acid, lip gloss and face powder NUDE, eto *** products nila maisusugest ko sa inyo! ;)

thanks those who posted regarding their lip gloss. na-enganyo tuloy akong bumili. :)

[**blingbling**]

*** press powder ba isang color lang sya. *** ba silang concealer or foundation? di na kse me nagtingin nung buimili ako ng lip gloss.

[razzp]

Dahil dito bumili ako. After 1 week of application completely dried up na ba *** acne?Nagka breakouts ako when I started using Nivea for Men. Ewan ko ba't ganun. Dikit dikit talaga yung pimples.

[razzp]

Masyado greasy yung cream. Ok lang ba yun?

[mike_s_6]

3 days into the lip whitener. Let's see if it works. My upper lip has a noticeably darker color than the lower one.

[coldsiren]

i tried the lip gloss. hindi na dry lips ko right now after less than a week of use. okay lang ba gamitin yun for everyday use kasi hindi naman dark yung lips ko cause i do not smoke, dry lang sya palagi.
i just brought the deo, whitening cream and whitening soap ata. gaano katagal bago ko makita yung results?
i want to try the press powder too. do you have to reapply it often like other pressed powers kasi medyo oily yung face ko.

Pinkish na yong lower lip ko! Medyo naglighten na rin yong upper lip. Galing ng Godiva lip gloss! I will try next the deo.

[=) ^^^]

i used godiva lotion but hindi hiyang sa balat ko ..nagkaallergy ako
grabe ang kati kati talga as in hindi ako mkatulog sa sobrang kati lalo
na pag pinawisan ako...grabe... buong arms at legs ko nagka rashes at ang pula pula. malaki tuloy ang nagastos ng mom ko kasi nag pa doctor ako. .:depressed:

[MommyG]

The Godiva deo is great! It keeps me dry all day. I apply it on evenings with no reapplication done on rush rush mornings. Very convenient, I tell you, with no more concerns on staining. At first I was skeptical, but it works!

[**blingbling**]

i bought the nude press powder. ok sya! *okay*

di na ako apply ng apply ng powder pag nasa mall ako. basta before aok bumaba ng car, i put it on tpos pag uwi ko galing sa mall, ok p rin ang face.

thanks po sa nag suggest ng godiva press powder!


about naman sa lipgloss, di ko sya lagi ginagamit kse di **** dark ang lips ko. sa upper lip lang ako may problem kse mas mapula ang lower lip ko. i hope mag even sya sa lower lip ko. i like using their lipgloss, hindi sya malagkit sa lips and di na nagd-dry ang lips ko. thanks again GODIVA!

[MommyG]

You can apply the lip gloss on your upper lip more often. Its what I am doing kasi nauna nag pink ang lower lip ko.

[Aces_21]

ei... san ba nakakabili ng lip gloss ng godiva?? hanap ako ng hanap wala sa mercury and sa watson! wala din sa hbc.. san ba meron?

[MommyG]

Taga saan ka ba, Aces? Marami kasi akong nakikitang Godiva lip gloss sa Watson. Try mo sa Cosmetics Section ng SM or Robinsons Department Stores . Marami rin doon.

:sunnysmile:

[firestorm]

The FAIR shade is for mestiza skin with pink undertone. This maybe the right shade for you.

[mike_s_6]

Okay iyung lip gloss, it's still far from making my upper lip same-colored as my lower lip, but it's working. Getting there baga.

When I checked the pressed powders, the fair shade looked darker than nude. So I didn't take it, cause my skin is actually quite fair. Owel. BTW, the packaging of that powder is very flimsy, it's hard to open it.

im using their whitening deodorant and whitening cream, effective sya.

[ehytee7]

^ yung whitening cream lang ba ginamit mo sa ua mo or pati yung soap? effective din ba yun sa pimple scars?

[firestorm]

^For pimple scars, use a combination of whitening cream and fruit acid cream.

[**blingbling**]

^For pimple scars, use a combination of whitening cream and fruit acid cream.

ganun ba? so hindi pala anti-blemish ang dapat kong bilihin. so kelan mo sya ginagamit, during day or night time? or both. anong inuuna mong ilagay yung whitening or *** fruit acid? do you still use a toner? sensya na daming tanong.

[firestorm]

You can use Godiva anti-blemish cream, alright, cuz this combines both fruit acid and licorice lightening extract in one convenient product.

[orangef1]

di effective yung whitening lotion and whitening soap. kailangan pa ba may fruit acid? maputi kasi ako, feeling ko di no tumatalab dun sa peklat

[MommyG]

Mas mabilis daw ang result kung may kasamang Fruit Acid cream, lalo na sa peklat.

[sunkhizz]

try ko nga next time yung pressed powder.

effective ba ang whitening soap and fruit acid cream?

[orangef1]

fruit acid and lotion, ang mahal nung dalawa!

[snowstrutt]

I've used expensive face powders in the market... but the best is still Godiva. Hiyang ako both sa product and sa price. Wag lang sana magmahal! heheh. The sponge has a short life span though... but who cares... you can use other sponge naman. Galing siya talaga. After reading the other entries... I'm thinking of trying the fruit cream too.

[firestorm]

^ You can buy replacement sponge from Godiva outlets.

[firestorm]

Godiva has a new product - Vitamin C 10% Serum! It will be launched on October 1 but advance supply is now available exclusively at Godiva Skin Station.

[MommyG]

The news travels fast! I got this from GT:

What You Should Know About Vitamin C

There has been an exponential increase in the number of skin lightening, skin rejuvenation, and anti-wrinkle products with Vitamin C. Do they work? Do their claims have any merit? Vitamin C does possess definite benefits for skin lightening, wrinkle reduction and skin rejuvenation. However, most Vitamin C products don't work.

Why is Vitamin C good for the skin? Vitamin C is good for the skin because the body uses up a lot of it as the first line of defense. It protects the skin's layers from damage caused by sun, smoke and aging. Older skin, in particular, may not get enough Vitamin C from the body's internal blood supply. Topical application to areas which need antioxidant protection is a good alternative.

How does Vitamin C act as an antioxidant? Visible signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles and age spots are caused by molecules known as free radicals. They dramatically multiply with exposure to sun, tobacco smoke, air pollution and other environmental assaults, damaging skin cells and breaking down collagen that gives skin its youthful resilience. Vitamin C serves as an antioxidant by neutralizing free radicals.

Why is ordinary Vitamin C a poor choice? Conventional Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is so unstable it oxidizes and becomes useless upon contact with water, heat and light. It degrades rapidly that 90% of its potency is gone after the first month in a topical product. Ordinary Vitamin C goes right into the water component, where it doesn't stand a chance against oxidation. Once degraded, it has no more vitamin potency, on or off the skin.

What's different about Godiva Vitamin C 10% Serum? Godiva Vitamin C 10% Serum is the smart choice for topically applied Vitamin C. It won't irritate the skin the way ordinary acidic Vitamin C does. It penetrates deeply through the tough epidermal barrier of the skin. Its contents in the bottle is still potent, so when you apply it, it sends concentrated stable Vitamin C directly to the skin.

Achieve B.R.I.G.H.T. Skin with Godiva Vitamin C 10% Serum

B - Brightens and lightens skin for more even skin tone

R - Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

I - Inhibits UV aging for younger looking skin

G - Great on skin before applying make-up

H - Helps unclog pores to control acne break-outs

T - Tightens and firms skin by boosting collagen production

How does it get Vitamin C directly into the skin without degrading? Godiva Vitamin C 10% Serum contains a uniquely stable bioactive form of Vitamin C (magnesium ascorbyl phosphate) that doesn't degrade rapidly like other Vitamin C preparations do (Source: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, Volume 15, Issue 6, March 1997, pages 795-801). It retains at least 90% of its Vitamin C activity for two years at room temperature. This means that consumers get the Vitamin C they expect, so it can penetrate the skin as Vitamin C, not in degraded form.

Is there clinical study proving that Vitamin C can lighten skin? A study on magnesium ascorbyl phosphate demonstrated that it can be effective for skin lightening when used at 10% concentration (Source: Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, January 1996, pages 29-33). You will find the same form and potency of bioactive Vitamin C in Godiva Vitamin C 10% Serum.

How do I get the most from Godiva Vitamin C 10% Serum? Apply a few drops of Godiva Vitamin C 10% Serum to clean face and neck. You may also apply on arms, hands, and other body parts. For better results, use with other Godiva creams. Godiva Vitamin C 10% Serum helps make the Godiva Green Tea Sunblock more effective and should be part of your daily morning regimen. Regular exfoliation with Godiva Fruit Acid cream and monthly diamond peel treatment will enhance penetration of the serum into the skin,

Should I also take a Vitamin C supplement? Yes. Taking Vitamin C orally helps your skin inside and out, while Godiva Vitamin C 10% Serum works from the outside in.

Anyone here knows how much discounts you get if you're a member? Last time I asked the girls at the desk, they told me that I don't have a discount... but I'm a member!

[MommyG]

Platinum members get 20% discount, gold 10%, and silver 5% off on products and services not on promo. This is valid only at Godiva Skin Station and you have to show your membership card.

[mike_s_6]

MommyG, are you an employee (or manager) or Godiva? I purchased a Tea Trea Oil sunblock cream there the last time I visited, and I asked if there is a discount and they sold the product to me at full price!!! They KNOW that I'm a member because I just had an IPL treatment at a discounted rate.

Not only did they take a very long time before getting my pay, the girl didn't know what numbers to punch and they had to repeat again and again how much she had to punch (magbabayad na nga lang, antagal pa!), they also discredited my membership and did not give me a discount for the sunblock! I didn't leave a tip, nakakaasar! :\

I'm going back soon to have another IPL treatment... :\ Sana iba na ang service. The Godiva Station that I signed in was better than that. I even recommended it to many of my girl friends and gave them products as birthday gifts.

[quents]

but their website claims that licorice is so much more effective than C. wala bang licorice serum?

[mike_s_6]

But licorice is a plant :D Just kidding :) I think most Godiva products use licorice anyway, so you don't have to have a serum version of it.

[quents]

what i mean by serum is todo to the max ang efek. yung malagkit at siksik sa active ingredients....
ganun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

btw, am using the licorice cream.

4 days palang ang ganda na ng efek.

^is that the licowhite cream?! i started to use it last week pero till now wala pa ring epekto sakin, actually paubos na nga siya eh...wahehehe...maybe because...it was my natural color...but im still hoping to have that glow achuchuchu kahit na morena...wahehehe...

i think i still have to wait =)

[quents]

maputi kasi ako naturaly.

umitim lang dahil wala ako kotse.

:lol:

[senyoritaako]

Is the LicoWhite cream effective? I have this kasi sa house eh.

Also, what can you say about their deo? Effective ba (yung whitening) and does it really control BO and sweat?

i think it can bring back ur natural color kung umitim ka.

it cant make u white as a sheet kung naturally brown ka.*okay*

My top picks. Definitely highly recommended godiva products are:

Godiva Vitamin C serum
Godiva licowhite deo
Godiva licowhite lip gloss
Godiva licowhite cream

[firestorm]

The Godiva Vitamin C serum is the best!

[quents]

but godiva itself claims licorice is better than vitamin c.

[Turquoise917]

They claim licorice is a better whitening ingredient. Vitamin C is an anti-oxidant, prevents free radical damage to your skin. Somewhat similar to the effects of an apple that's cut into pieces and turned brown.

[quents]

the best in saan ba?

pamputi?

[timeless]

Licorice is still the best for whitening. Vitamin C serum is best used to delay skin aging.

[mike_s_6]

Tama, Vitamin C can whiten your skin, but not as much as Licorice. But the benefits of using Vitamin C extend farther than that of using Licorice ;) If you just want to get whiter, then use Licorice. Younger and a tad whiter, use Vitamin C. Ayos?

[quents]

synergistic ba ang 2 yan???

[mike_s_6]

You mean are they compatible? I guess so. Companies mix their own personal care product lines to be compatible.

[quents]

^^^no.

do they work better pag combo?

synergy?

[mike_s_6]

I know what synergy means, silly. I assumed you meant compatible because cosmetics are not typically referred to as "synergistic", hence, I would not be able to quote anyone in the product line saying such. But if you insist, why not ask the sales representatives?

[quents]

cosmetics ba yun?

hihi

wala ako alam jan sa make up e.

[DEEEPTHROAT]

^^ OMG.. i cant believe this.
nagpapa DP na pala ang mga taong java.

" dont be so palingkera " conyo ang bakla....hahahaha
infairness d bagay syo.:rotflmao: nakaka irita kc ang mongoloid na to. kumulo ang dugo ko nung mabasa *** panlalaiit sa isang pexer sa kabilang thread. tawagin daw bang ORC. :angry:

e ikaw *** mukhang ORC e! mongoloid na orc!

[mike_s_6]

@DEEEPTHROAT - I think name-calling is juvenile, kahit inis na inis ka na, you're not doing the right thing. I don't like quents either, more so that this person parades under my college's name.

uhh.

did u even read the exchange????

clawed out used the term first against an offensive poster. i called him (a certain pexer who said something against clawed out) an orc because he was posting homophobic statements. can you relate to that? i know you do, being homosexual yourself. i dont like clawed out either but i came to his defense from such abuse. im not trying to portray myself as heroic but thats the way i am.:angry: :angry: :angry:

all you do is regurtitate insults. luma na yan. get over it. get a life. a real one. youll get over your hatred for me when you get this.

*okay* *okay* *okay*

Any comments on the Green Tea Soap???

[firestorm]

The green tea soap is antibacterial and deodorant and has that perfect fresh mild scent you will fall in love with.

[Thousand Trees]

^^^^^^^^^^^

Ummm is it ok to use it on your face??? I read in the site that it's part of the regimen for your Sun Care

[timeless]

^Which one, the green tea soap? I use it on my face and body.

[Thousand Trees]

Yep I am referring to the green tea soap. How is it so far? Is it effective on your face>>>
