REVIEW: Pasjel Cherry White Night Cream

I say this all the time: If it's not for you, it's not for you. Don't push it.

And that's what I did after three weeks of using Pasjel Cherry White Night Cream. It's just not working for me, and to top it off: it just made my pimples worse.

I wrote this two weeks after discontinuing the use of the product, to make sure that Pasjel really was the reason why my pimples became more inflamed than before. 

Let me relate my experience. I will be straight to the point. 

After the first three days of using Pasjel, I noticed an itchy sensation on my cheeks. I really did not gave much thought about it then, and I still went on using the cream.

Last January 29, I went to Let's Face It Salon (Megamall Branch) to get a facial. I was having lots of whiteheads around my nose area and my forehead was bombarded by pimple marks. I wanted to get rid of it before my anniversary getaway. But Let's Face It denied me the treatment and told me that my skin was dry and peeling, so it is not advisable for me to undergo a facial. The in-house dermatologist asked me if I was using anything on my skin and I said that I only use Celeteque products for cleansing and Pasjel cream. She said that I needed to wait until the peeling stops before I can get a facial. 

I started using Pasjel on January 23, so I had been applying it to my face for only seven nights. I still used it for another two weeks until I finally accepted that it will not work and that it made my skin condition worse. 

I am a bit heartbroken. 

The basic rule in skin care is to find the product that works best for you, and then you have to stick to it. Since Ponds won't work on my skin anymore, I began searching for new products that will bring back my youthful skin. 

Celeteque worked for me. Now, I am back on using it on my face, and my face is getting clearer than before. Although it is still very far from perfect. 

I stopped using Pasjel. There are still a lot of cream left on the tiny jar. I feel bad for dissing it, since I spent a lot of money for it. 

But I guess that's just how life goes. You try out something new, and if it doesn't work for you, let it go. There are a lot of other things that might fit you. All you have to do is search for them.

And when you do find them, you stick to them.

DISCLAIMER: Since each person has a different skin type, a product's side effect on one person might not happen if another would use the same product. There are a lot of testimonials that would swear the effectivity of Pasjel products. I bought Pasjel hoping that it would solve my acne problems, but apparently, I was not as lucky as others who received what Pasjel promised to deliver: baby-smooth skin. I am really saddened by it, since the cream is quite expensive. I think there are other brands that can be more effective than Pasjel. But that is just for me.

OVERVIEW: Pasjel products, Cherry Tender Night Facial Cream and Everbright Blue Body Cream

My PasJel products arrived today! I am so excited to finally try these products, since a lot of buzz were already made on the Internet by these uber-cute beauty creams from the Land of Smiles.

I discovered PasJel by accident while scrolling through the popular page of Instagram. As curious as I was, I opened the link and found PasJel Manila's account (@pasjelmanila). After a few minutes of checking out their products, I felt like this is the exact beauty cream I was looking for.


I have been using Celeteque's Acne Solution line for about two months now, and I can proudly say that I am happy with the results (see: LINK). Although Celeteque delivered what the Acne Solution products promised to deliver (SEE: no breakouts even I'm on my period), they weren't able to provide the flawless and scar-free skin that I have always wanted.

I think I harassed my skin too much when I was still in the university. I didn't take care of it and left it exposed to the sun too much without any kind of protection. Now that I am trying to regain a beautiful skin, I was apprehensive to use another brand of beauty creams, because I feared that it might counter the effect of the Celeteque products (paranoid alert). BUT--everything changed when that serendipitious moment happened to me: the day I discovered PasJel.

Apparently, I was late in learning about PasJel. Since I wanted to know more about it, I searched for reviews and found a lot. So, I guess PasJel is quite effective, because there are so many testimonials around the Internet. I just became more and more curious about it.

PasJel products. All promises to give you back your baby smooth skin. 

So, right after payday, I ordered the PasJel product I wanted to try, which is the Cherry Tender Night Facial Cream. This cream focuses on erasing unwanted marks on your face, such as pimples, pimple marks, melasma and freckles. To say it plainly, it promises the solution to my very need. The perfect product for my abused skin!

Pimple problems? PasJel Cherry Tender Night Facial Cream
promises to help you erase all that. For 795.00 php only.

The Cherry Tender Night Facial Cream is available online for 795.00 php (price varies on different online shops), but PasJel Manila is now having a bundle sale on their products. If you avail the New Skin Bundle, you can get the Cherry Tender Night Facial Cream for only 650.00 php and the Everbright Blue Body Cream for only 750.00 php, which is originally 895.00 php. So much win!


After placing my order, the products arrived just one day after PasJel Manila confirmed the payment. The transaction was so smooth, and the owners of the shop were very helpful and accomodating. And did I mention that they are one of the authentic distributors of PasJel here in the country? They also offer other Thai beauty products such as Bee Venom and Hello Sunshine. Double win!

Anyway, I received the parcels today and got so excited, I opened them right away. I already knew that the products will be very small, but I was a bit disappointed by the size, to be honest. It was--simply put--too small for the price I paid. 



But okay, let's give PasJel the benefit of the doubt. If their products are truly the wonder creams they advertise it to be, then the size of the container doesn't matter. It's what inside that is more important.

And what's inside will truly turn you upside down.

I opened the canister of the Cherry Tender Night Facial Cream first and then suddenly... the smell of bubblegum and cherry and all things sweet and delicious washed over me like a wave of fragrance from a freshly baked pastry, still hot from the oven. I am being overly poetic, but the smell was just so fabulous.


Next, I opened the Everbright Blue Body Cream and the same fleeting sensation filled up my nostrils, but this time, it was the smell of powder and soap. It actually reminded me of Johnson's baby wash and the time when my grandmother washed me after taking a bath on the garden. If you ever used a baby soap when you were a kid, then this cream will bring you back to your childhood.


Alright! So there, I got so excited about receiving the PasJel products. I will start using these right away, and then maybe after two weeks or a month, I will post another review about the products effectivity.

Thanks for reading guys!
