RRAW PH's Herb Facial Serum

Living in a tropical country like the Philippines, our skin encounters dirt, humidity and pollution. It is essential to have products that would help not only in cleansing and moisturizing but also in the preservation of our healthy and youthful skin. I have had oily/ combination skin as far as I can remember and though I have tried using products that says "oil-free", my face still ends up greasy! I have always been on the hunt for a product that could control the secretion of oil on my face. I have tried moisturizers and toners that are oil-free or water-based but they still have not curbed my skin problem.

Lately, there has been a rise on the need for essential oils or serums. I have seen beauty bloggers swear by their favorite serums and even beauty gurus on youtube have their own favorites. Even with the recommendation of my favorite beauty gurus, I have always been doubtful of the effects of these products, especially the formulation and the chemicals used. I thought to myself of finding a better option, in case I decide to try such products.

Then came RRAW. I have known RRAW since the first Produkto Lokal fair that I attended. I wanted to try their products since they're handmade, they smell good and are affordable, too! They are a plant based skincare line based in Iloilo City. Their products are carefully and lovingly handcrafted soaps, sea salt sprays, face masks, etc. Late last year, they introduced their Herb Facial Serum. I was excited to get it because aside from the product being locally handmade, it has no chemical ingredients that would be harmful for the skin. Ingredients are natural and cruelty-free.

My serum! Can you spot other RRAW products on my vanity? 😊

I bought mine at another Produkto Lokal fair in December last year and immediately fell in love with after one use! It did control my oil secretion and instatly makes my skin feel soft and supple after every use. I use it once a day or twice a day if I'm not being lazy on my skincare. ;) If Im being lazy and have not religiously followed my skincare regimen, I use 3-4 drops of the serum once a day. I sometimes mix the serum with my foundation if I'm feeling a little extra. Most of the time I use this alone but there would be times I use it underneath my moisturizer. Its mileage is really dependent on how you use it. It is seriously a game changer and I'm thankful I found this product.

For this serum, they have other variants for those with normal and dry or sensitive skin. This product is worth every peso since it will last you for a while since you won't need much per use. I am also all for supporting local products, especially if they're effective and plus points for being affordable too! I really do enjoy and like this brand so much. I am also waiting to get my hands on their eye cream and soaps. Will talk about their other products on a separate post. 😎 Herb Facial Serum retails for Php 349.00.
