Tried and Tested: Farmacy Beauty’s Best-Sellers That TikTok Loves
I only recently got to know Farmacy Beauty when I hosted an event with them for the Project Vanity Community, and I have to say, I was impressed. I loved learning about their commitment to cultivating conscious beauty through cruelty-free, clean skincare. But what really stood out to me was their mission to give back—especially their partnership with Feeding America, which has provided 7.5 million meals so far. How’s that for a mindful beauty brand?
But of course, you're probably here to find out if their products are actually worth trying. I’ve had the chance to test out some of their best-sellers for the past few weeks, and I’m excited to share my thoughts! Here’s my honest review of how they performed.
The Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm (P2,700 for 100ml) is what the brand is most famous for, and it's the one that went viral on TikTok. It’s easy to see why! This balm starts off solid but quickly transforms into a silky, thin oil when you massage it into dry skin, easily melting away makeup—even the most long-wearing and water-resistant type. I usually go for a full beat, so it’s a dream for removing everything from heavy foundation to stubborn waterproof mascara. Plus, it feels so luxurious as you work it in, and the scent is just divine. It’s light, fresh, and has this lovely green fragrance from the lime, bergamot, and orange essential oils.
What I love even more is how travel-friendly it is. I'm going on a trip next week, and I already plan to pack a small jar of this balm with me. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had my cleansing oil spill inside a ziplock mid-flight—total nightmare! With this balm, I don’t have to worry about messy leaks, and it still gives me that same deep cleanse that makes me feel like I’ve completely reset my skin after a long day. This is a 10/10 for me! I now see why everyone is raving about this.
The Farmacy Honey Halo Ultra-Hydrating Ceramide Moisturizer (P3,600 / 50ml and P5,500 / 100ml) is another one of the brand’s best-sellers. When you first open the jar, you’ll notice that the texture is more like a semi-solid balm than your typical creamy moisturizer. It looks rich, like it’s going to be way too heavy for comfort (especially if you’re used to lightweight formulas). But once you spread it onto your skin, it thins out surprisingly well! At first, it might feel a bit thick and greasy, but don’t worry—give it a minute, and it sinks right in, leaving your skin hydrated without a greasy residue.
What I really love about it is the instant plumping effect it gives. It’s almost like the way a good lip balm transforms dry, chapped lips into something soft and supple. That’s all thanks to its blend of ceramides, honey, and royal jelly, which work together to deeply nourish and protect the skin barrier. I also notice a healthy glow right after application, which is perfect for when I want my skin to look fresh and dewy even without makeup. If you're someone who deals with dry or dehydrated skin, this moisturizer is a treat that makes your face feel pampered.
I have combination skin and I can get quite oily during the day, so I use this only at night as my final step due to the texture. I also have to mention that this smells so good, exactly like a jar of honey!
And that’s it! Overall, I think these two products from Farmacy Beauty are worth trying out if budget allows. They’re a bit pricey but worth it as they deliver what they promise. Currently, Farmacy is available in the Philippines via LOOK (online and in store) so you can check it out there!
