GT Cosmetics Moisturizing Cream Review
In my case, I use GT Cosmetics Moisturizing Cream. It is marketed as a whitening and moisturizing cream, but I mainly use it as a sunblock because of its high SPF content—SPF 60. I was quite hesitant to try it at first, but the moment I did, I was genuinely surprised by how well it worked. It performs excellently not only as a moisturizer but also as a sunblock. It used to leave a white, pasty look when applied to the skin, but with what I believe is their improved formula, it no longer has that effect or makes the skin feel heavy or uncomfortable.
If you’re not familiar with the product, GT Cosmetics is a Cebuano brand that creates and offers local, handmade beauty products such as soaps, creams, and lotions, all made with refined coconut oil as a base. I’ve tried several of their products, including their toner, facial soap, and lotion, but nothing compares to their moisturizing cream in terms of effectiveness.
I discovered this while applying it before heading to the beach under the midday sun. The heat was intense at the time, but surprisingly, I didn’t get any tan lines or sunburn—thanks to GT Cosmetics’ moisturizing cream. Since then, I’ve been using it whenever I know I’ll be exposed to the sun for long periods.
Here are more details you should know about the product, along with more of my thoughts on it:
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A hydrating day cream for a softer, smoother, fairer look. Nourishes skin with anti-aging, moisturizing, and whitening ingredients; brightens and lightens to even out skin tone; protects with SPF 60.
PACKAGING
The foundation is in a petite circular container made of plastic. One can easily bring it everywhere without worrying about where to place it. I guess it can easily fit in any go-to makeup bag. Details about the product, such as its ingredients and manufacturing information, can be seen on its box, which houses the container.
PRICE
GT Cosmetics moisturizing cream is available for 193php, which is more or less 4USD.
WHERE TO BUY
I got mine from a local drugstore, but you can also purchase the product in any beauty outlet nationwide. It is also available online via BeautyMNL.
PROS
- affordable
- has a good smell
- effective sunblock cream
CONS
- not available in some malls and beauty outlets
In all fairness, I am very satisfied with my cream from GT. I am not sure if it works well as a whitening product since I am not checking its effectivity on that matter. I do not have any interest in getting whiter as I am content with my skin color.
If you are heading to the beach and you are still looking for a sunscreen, you might as well try the moisturizing cream from GT Cosmetics. I hope it will work for you just as it worked for me.
love lots,
Tin

Hi Tin! Personally I really like to get to know local brands, which offers handmade beauty products, this cream seems amazing, personally I'm huge fan of everything, where I can find coconut oil, so I'm sure that it would be the same with this product, especially considering the fact that it protects from sun as well.
