Curel Intensive Moisture Facial Cream

KAO's Curel Intensive Moisture Care Facial Cream is a solid choice for people with sensitive skin who want thorough hydration. In testing, the average skin moisture level measured 4 hours after application was 31.98, outperforming the overall average of 29.01 across all other products we compared. It also showed strong moisture retention. When comparing skin hydration levels 30 minutes after application and again after 4.5 hours, it achieved a 109.03% retention rate, suggesting its moisturizing effect can last well beyond 4.5 hours.Its ingredient formula is designed with sensitive skin in mind. Upon reviewing the ingredient list, we found the cream contains ceramide-supporting ingredients, eucalyptus extract as a skin-conditioning component, and allantoin, an active ingredient known for helping prevent skin irritation. While it does not contain anti-aging ingredients, it performs well as a moisturizer for dry skin.The texture is somewhat thick and creamy but spreads smoothly, making it easy to apply. After using the cream, testers' skin felt moisturized without any unpleasant or sticky feeling. Our testers described the feeling after application as “moist yet smooth.” Since it is fragrance-free and has almost no scent, it’s easy to use alongside other skincare products.Another plus is the compact, lightweight container, which doesn’t take up much space in a bag. While some products we compared weighed over 100 g, this cream weighs just 68.6 g, making it easy to carry. One possible downside is that it does not come with a spatula. The cream needs to be scooped out with the fingers, which may not be every user's preference.That said, its moisturizing performance is more than sufficient. It’s also perfect for those who prefer a simple routine using just toner and a cream. Priced at around ₱1,200 on e-commerce sites (as of February 2026), it’s a bit of a splurge but worth considering if you’re looking for a dependable moisturizer.Recommended For:People with sensitive skin who want effective dryness careThose who want to avoid a sticky feeling after applicationNot Recommended For:People who prefer using a spatula to take out cream

Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Essence

Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Essence Serum is a good option for those who want an easy way to prevent acne and skin irritation as part of their daily skincare routine. It contains two types of vitamin-based active ingredients, along with additional actives designed to help protect the skin from irritation.While working to prevent acne and skin trouble, it also targets skin texture and brightening. Overall, the balance of ingredients is impressive. That said, the active ingredient isopropyl methylphenol may cause irritation for very sensitive skin, but it is helpful for acne prevention.The formula also delivers strong moisturizing performance. When we measured skin moisture levels using a corneometer, hydration increased by an average of 74.2% two hours after application. This formula helps lock in moisture, making it suitable even during dry seasons.However, there are some potential drawbacks. Some reviewers said it had an oily, slippery feeling and scent that may not appeal to everyone. On the positive side, testers liked the packaging, which they said made application convenient. If you’re looking for a serum you can easily apply in small amounts, this one is worth considering.

G502 X LIGHTFORCE Gaming Mouse

The Logitech G502 X LIGHTFORCE Gaming Mouse is a good pick for first-time gaming mouse users, but it may fall short for those who prioritize smooth handling. Unlike the wireless models we tested, the wired design can feel restrictive, with testers noting that the cable can tug during large flick movements.At 89g, it’s heavier than many competing gaming mice, including ultra-light models under 60g. Its larger size and weight may cause fatigue during FPS or TPS games that rely on frequent wrist flicks or fingertip grip. As user reviews suggest, it may feel hard to hold depending on your grip style.On the plus side, it fits comfortably with a palm grip. The non-slip base keeps the mouse stable, movements are smooth, and aiming feels controlled. The light yet responsive clicks make rapid clicking easy, which testers appreciated during gameplay.The scroll wheel offers both free-spin and stepped modes for customizable control. While opinions on the side buttons varied, their firmer feel helps prevent accidental presses. With programmable buttons from G1 to G9, it offers greater customization than simpler models.As noted in reviews, the DPI button is easy to use, allowing 50-DPI adjustments from the top. With a polling rate of up to 1,000Hz, it delivers reliable performance for FPS, MMO, and MOBA games.

Deep Moist Shampoo 1.0

&amp;honey Deep Moist Shampoo is a good choice for people who don’t want to spend too much time shampooing. In actual use, most testers were able to create lather quickly. While some of the compared shampoos were difficult to foam up with a small amount, this one made it easy to produce plenty of bubbles, helping cut down wash time. The rich, fluffy lather made it easy to wash while cushioning the hair, which may appeal to those concerned about friction damage.Its cleansing performance also earned high marks. We used lard to simulate the scalp's sebum, and when mixed with, it removed 188.03 mg of the lard. This exceeds 180 mg, which is considered a benchmark for the amount of oil produced by oily skin, and is in line with many of the shampoos we tested. &amp;honey's shampoo should help remove excess sebum, styling products, and other buildup, and may reduce greasiness on the scalp and hair.The floral scent was rated positively by our testers, with comments such as “smells very nice” and “great for everyday use.” While some of the compared products had fresher, more refreshing scents, this one suits people who prefer a sweet, elegant floral fragrance. More than half of the testers said post-wash squeakiness was “not noticeable,” and none reported the dryness mentioned in some online reviews.Another strong point is its ingredient lineup. After reviewing the ingredient list, we found that it contains a good range of repair ingredients. Both keratin-based and non-keratin protein components are included, which can help support the repair of damaged hair. This makes it a reassuring option for those focused on caring for hair damage.That said, it contains lauramidopropyl betaine as a cleansing agent and menthol as a cooling ingredient, both of which may cause irritation for people with sensitive skin. If you have a sensitive scalp and want something especially gentle, you may want to consider other options.Recommended For:People who want to wash hair and scalp gently with rich, fluffy latherThose who want to thoroughly remove excess sebum and styling product buildupAnyone who likes sweet, floral scentsNot Recommended For:People with sensitive skin

White Truffle First Spray Serum

d’Alba White Truffle First Spray Serum is a good choice for those who value fragrance in their skincare. Testers rated the scent highly, with comments such as “the sweet fragrance lifts my mood.” It has a calm, jasmine-like freshness and feels more subtle than products with a sharp or overpowering scent.Beyond fragrance, its moisturizing performance is strong. Two hours after application on the arm, moisture levels increased by an average of 72.64%. Some compared products showed an average increase of only 29.4%, making this mist suitable for people concerned about dryness.When used over makeup, most testers found that it didn’t noticeably cause makeup to break down. One comment noted that “even after spraying, the eyeshadow and eyelashes didn’t smudge.” The compact size (3.5 cm wide × 15 cm tall) and light weight of 147 g also make it easy to carry for touch-ups on the go.In addition, when beads were pressed onto artificial skin after application, 13 out of 20 adhered, suggesting noticeable stickiness. This may not suit those looking for a mist with very little stickiness. If this doesn’t bother you, this product stands out for its fragrance and high moisturizing power and is worth considering.

Eleos Aromatique Hand Cream

Aesop Eleos Aromatique Hand Balm is a solid choice for those who want a refreshing herbal scent without a heavy or greasy finish. While some fragrance-free hand creams we tested felt plain, this one stood out. Testers said the scent “lifts the mood,” making it enjoyable to use. Anyone who likes plant-based scents with a subtle spicy note may find it refreshing.The tube packaging is also easy to handle. Despite its aluminum look, the tube is soft and squeezes smoothly. Unlike runny creams that make dosing difficult, this one dispenses a controlled amount each time. The cap is small and takes a bit of effort to open, but it closes securely, so leakage in a bag is unlikely.In terms of texture, it leaves very little oily residue after application. Compared with many hand creams, it feels noticeably less sticky on the skin. While it may not be the lightest option available, most users are unlikely to find the finish uncomfortable. This matches online reviews that say it “doesn’t feel too sticky.”Moisturizing performance, however, is more moderate. Skin moisture increased by an average of 57.68 percent two hours after application. Some competing hand creams exceeded 100 percent, which affected its overall score. It can work well for normal skin, but those with very dry hands may find it lacking. The claim of “high moisturizing power” may feel overstated for dry skin types.With its clean, gender-neutral scent and stylish packaging, this hand balm suits users who want light daily care and a refined fragrance. If intense moisture or sweet scents are a priority, other options may be a better fit.Recommended For:Those who value minimalist, stylish packagingAnyone looking for a gender-neutral hand cream scentNot Recommended For:People with severe hand drynessUsers who prioritize quick, fuss-free applicationThose who prefer sweet, classic hand cream fragrances

UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence

This sunscreen is recommended for people who want a lightweight option for everyday use and need sun protection mainly during short periods outdoors, such as commuting to school or work. It’s well-suited for days when you spend most of your time indoors and want something easy to apply and comfortable to wear regularly.The smooth, watery texture spreads easily, allowing a small amount to be applied thinly over a wide area. However, applying too much at once can leave a slightly sticky feel, so it’s best used sparingly.On the other hand, Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence isn’t recommended for the beach or long hours outdoors, as it may not provide sufficient protection in those situations.

WH-CH720N	

The Sony WH-CH720N is a solid choice for people who want to listen to music all day with headphones on. In our testing, it weighed just 186 g. Among the over-ear models we compared, this was one of the lightest, making it less tiring to wear for long periods. The ear pads are 1.9 cm deep, which helps reduce pressure on the ears, and the headband has a wide adjustment range of up to 61 cm, so it can comfortably fit different head sizes.Ease of use is another strong point. All basic controls are handled via physical buttons on the headphones, and you can switch between noise canceling and ambient sound mode with a single press. It supports multipoint connections, allowing you to connect to two devices simultaneously. Battery life is also impressive, with up to 50 hours of continuous playback, so frequent charging isn’t necessary. There’s also a quick-charge feature that delivers about 1 hour of use from just 3 minutes of charging.The sound quality delivers strong, clear low- to mid-range tones. While some competing models we tested made mid-range sounds harder to hear, this one maintained good presence from bass to treble. It may lack a strong sense of live, immersive sound, but overall clarity is more than adequate. You also get an equalizer and personalization features for sound customization.Noise canceling is not as powerful as top-tier models, but it effectively reduces everyday noises such as voices and bells. Claims that it “doesn’t work well” can largely be ignored. The microphone performs well, clearly picking up both male and female voices. However, background noise reduction is limited, so it’s not ideal for calls in noisy environments.Priced at around ₱5,499 to ₱7,999, it offers good value for its lightweight comfort and long battery life. It’s well-suited for all-day use at home. That said, if you prioritize high-end sound quality or frequently use the microphone while out and about, it’s worth checking other options as well.Recommended For:People who spend long hours listening to musicNot Recommended For:People who prioritize premium sound qualityPeople who often use the microphone while outdoors

HD Webcam

The Logitech C270 HD Webcam is a good choice for users who prioritize affordability and simplicity over advanced features. While many webcams we compared are priced around ₱3,500–₱4,000, this model costs around ₱1,200. It lacks software-based image adjustments and enhanced privacy features, but it delivers the basic webcam functions at a much lower price.Despite being marketed as offering “sharp and smooth” 720p video, the image quality is only average. Reviewers noted that the face, especially around the eyes, tends to appear dark. Compared with Full HD webcams, the video looked noticeably dimmer, so you may want to consider using supplemental lighting for this webcam.Motion performance is also limited. At 30fps, it feels less smooth than 60fps webcams, with comments from testers such as “slight lag” and “choppy movement.” The lack of autofocus means brightness and clarity can shift when the subject moves, making the image harder to see at times.In contrast, microphone quality stands out. Testers described the audio as “clear” with “very little noise,” performing on par with other webcams that offer noise reduction. For online meetings, voice clarity is a definite strength.The horizontal field of view measures 48 degrees. While narrower than wide-angle webcams, it’s sufficient for solo use. With no support for tripod mounting or desk capture, it’s best suited for standard video calls rather than flexible filming setups.The Logitech C270 does not include a manual privacy shutter, so users need to remember to turn the camera off after use. If you want a simple, low-cost webcam with good audio quality for everyday online meetings, this model is worth considering.

Dive-In Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Mask

The Torriden Dive-In Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Mask feels pleasant to use, provided you’re comfortable with moderate moisturizing power. When tested on monitors’ arms, skin moisture levels increased by an average of 10.97 points two hours after application. Some other products we tested showed increases of 30 points or more, so those with very dry skin may want to use other products to address moisturization.An ingredient review shows the formula contains vitamins as skin-conditioning ingredients, which may help improve skin texture. Overall, it’s best suited for people in their 20s to 30s with minimal skin concerns. However, it also includes ingredients such as plant extracts and preservatives that may irritate sensitive skin.A major strength is the sheet’s excellent adherence. As many online reviews note, it’s generously soaked with essence and stays in place without drying out. Testers also found the size just right. The soft sheet material feels gentle on the skin, with no prickly sensation, making it comfortable to wear.After use, testers' skin felt moisturized and slightly plump. Unlike some masks that leave a sticky finish, this one absorbs well after a few minutes and is easy to use even in the morning. The scent is almost nonexistent. While it doesn’t offer a fragrance experience, it also won’t interfere with other scented products.Overall, this mask is a comfortable option for people with normal skin who aren’t concerned about dryness. Individual packaging makes it convenient for travel. That said, if deep hydration is your top priority, it’s worth looking at other products as well.Recommended ForPeople with normal skin who are not particularly concerned about skin irritationNot Recommended ForPeople with very dry or sensitive skinPeople who prefer very lightweight, refreshing skincare textures

SOLID-IN Lip Essence

SOLID-IN Lip Essence is a lip balm from Torriden, a Korean skincare brand. It features a proprietary blend of five types of ceramides, along with fatty acids and cholesterol, designed to help support the lips’ barrier function. The tube packaging makes it easy to use hygienically until the last drop, which is another plus.

Zero Matte Lipstick 

Rom&amp;nd Zero Matte Lipstick No. 05 Evening is a great choice for anyone looking for an orange-brown lipstick that applies beautifully, even without advanced makeup skills.With just one swipe, it creates soft, blurred lips with a modern, on-trend look. The slim tip makes it easy to define the edges and apply color precisely, while the matte formula glides on smoothly without dragging. Despite its matte finish, it feels comfortable on the lips and is easy to work with, earning it high marks in our testing.Color payoff is another strong point. The calm, sunset-inspired shade looks true to color once applied and adds a natural flush that gives the lips a healthy, polished appearance. The finish has a subtle moisture to it, helping reduce the look of vertical lip lines.It also performed well in terms of staying power. During testing, pressing a tissue against the lips twice after application caused minimal color transfer. Thanks to its strong hold, it feels reliable even when wearing a face mask, making it a practical option for everyday use.

Juicy Lasting Tint

rom&amp;nd Juicy Lasting Tint No. 13 is recommended for those who want a modern, glossy red-brown shade that lasts for hours.The fresh, watery texture spreads lightly and adheres smoothly to the lips. The color appears softly diffused, as if it’s naturally blooming from within, creating an effortless and refined look. The plump, wet-looking shine also delivers exactly what the product claims.Its staying power stands out as well. Even after blotting twice with a tissue during testing, both the shine and color remained close to their freshly applied state, with very little transfer. Among glossy lip tints, it offers top-tier wear performance.It also quickly combines with cleansing oil and removes cleanly, leaving no pigment behind. Easy to use for beginners yet satisfying for experienced makeup users, this tint is a solid choice if you want to enjoy true-to-color lips for longer.

G304 Lightspeed

The Logitech G304 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse has a noticeable weight, which can make precise movements harder and cause faster hand fatigue. Compared with lighter models under 60 g, this 99 g mouse feels more solid and heavy. Its AA battery design allows up to 250 hours of use, which is a strong advantage, but the added weight may feel tiring during long gaming sessions.When 10 testers tried FPS games, aiming performance received mixed reviews. Its low center of gravity made quick, delicate movements harder, and we couldn’t fully dismiss user feedback saying its tracking accuracy feels “not quite there.” The compact size also makes it less ideal for palm grip users with larger hands, though it works better for claw grip users.Click feedback is light and shallow, which some testers liked, but it may lead to accidental presses. The scroll wheel feels stiff, and the small side buttons were also noted as hard to press.On the positive side, customization is solid. DPI ranges from 200 to 12,000, adjustable in 50-step increments, including popular FPS settings like 400, 800, and 1,600 DPI. The polling rate reaches 1,000 Hz, which is more than enough for smooth real-world gaming.Priced around ₱1,700, it’s one of the most affordable wireless gaming mice we tested. With stable wireless performance, it’s a good choice for budget-conscious gamers. However, if you prefer a lightweight mouse for faster, more precise control, other options may suit you better.

Hada Labo Gokujyun Hydrating Lotion

Hada Labo Gokujyun Hydrating Lotion stands out for its comfortable, lightweight feel on the skin. However, for people with multiple or more complex skin concerns, it may feel a bit basic. According to our expert review of the ingredient list, the formula contains moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid but does not include additional notable skin-conditioning or skin-refining components.&nbsp;In terms of hydration, it earned a solid score that should satisfy those with normal skin. When the product was applied to testers’ arms, we measured increased skin moisture levels even after two hours. While it lacks extra skincare ingredients, this lotion still provides enough moisture for people who only struggle with moderate dryness.Despite some online reviews claiming it does not absorb well, actual testers reported that it blended smoothly into the skin. It was also praised for its texture and spreadability, with many saying it was easy to apply over a wide area. Plus, it does not leave a slippery or greasy feel.Another strong point is its gentle formula, making it suitable for sensitive skin. While some products on the market contain ingredients that may irritate delicate skin, this one did not include any common irritants. The fragrance-free formula also makes it a good option for people who dislike strong smells.The bottle comes with an easy-to-open cap, which testers found convenient. Many commented that it dispenses just the right amount smoothly. Its moderate size and lightweight design also make it a practical choice for travel.&nbsp;
