Hmm.. my pores is not smooth. still visible if you zoom in the picture. My pores are very big, may be look a little smaller in picutre
But i am not quite satisfied with it as it is not as huge as before and my pores are not dirty anymore. Last time used to go facial at least twice per month to clear my pores.

If you want to have a brighter skin and even out your skin tone. YOu should go for the hyrating essence, ultimate radiance serum, night cream and refining gel 2.
if you have the budget, you should consider start a full set, including cleanser and sunblock. these 2 are the best buy.

If you have those headless pimple, you can try the refining essence it is kinda good pulling out the puss to surface.

can you pm me all the price that you mentioned and which set should i use (i saw you have the travel set )?
as abit tight budget now

Yea the travel kit i am offering rm200 now. But the refining gel 2 and night cream have been replaced wit ultimate radiance serum and intensive radiance moisture.
I had pmed you the price for the items i recommended

hi dear...

it's me again

tried the mask powder that u gave me.. it smells like kentucky fried chicken powder (this is wat my fren n i think) it cannot really dry my pimples.. i still prefer to use refining gel 2 to dry the big pimples.. really works!

my face is much better than last week after facial.. the big n painful pimples almost all gone already.. only small ones that come out.. so happy!! but there are quite a lot of scars on my face.. so disturbing.. can i know wats the product that is best for scars n big pores??

my beautician told me that my face is oily inside so she insisted that i must use mask to control this problem.. wat do u think?? can actizen mask really work in this case??

Oh ya, try to get ZINC & ECHINACEA for anti-bacteria and anti-imflammary purpose These 2 are just a supplement and not medication. I think they help a little in controlling acne. It is at least better than taking those hormone pills. I heard accutance has side effect and if suddenly pregnant while taking, the percentage of cacated child is very high.


Some info on Acne

The cause of acne is from the sebaceous glands over secreting sebum at the hair follicles on the skin. Sebum is normal oil excreted by the pores to keep the skin lubricated. It is when too much sebum is produced that the pores get clogged and result in a breakout of pimples.

Hard plugs are formed that block the pores. The plugs rupture under the skin and cause a bacterial infection. The most common cause of acne is hormonal imbalances. That is why acne commonly starts during puberty. Stress can also lead to skin breakouts. Medications or anything that affects hormone levels could bring on a breakout of the skin.

There are some herbs for acne treatment. Aloe Gel can be used topically to treat acne. It has antibacterial and astringent properties. Calendula is an herb that can be used as a wash, steam or cream. It enhances healing of skin tissue.

Lavender can be made into compresses to relieve the inflammation from breakouts. Rosewater can also be applied topically to reduce pain and inflammation. Diluted Tea Tree Oil can be applied as an antiseptic herb for acne.

Walnut Leaf and Witch Hazel both have powerful astringent properties when applied to the skin. Golden Seal acts as an antimicrobial on the skin. Echinacea tincture taken orally helps heal acne and reduce inflammation.

Another cause of outbreaks is when the liver does not clear hormones effectively. There are herbs for acne breakouts and to help clear the liver. Dandelion and Burdock Root can remove bacteria and help keep the skin clear. Milk Thistle can be used to cleanse the liver and rid it of excess hormones.

What is Accutane and how does it work?

Accutane (also known as Isotretinoin), or Roaccutane as is also known in parts of the world, was discovered in 1979 when it was first given to patients with severe acne, most of whom reacted with dramatic and permanent clearing of their acne symptoms. It is a vitamin A derivative (13-cis-retinoic acid) which is administered orally in pill form, normally for 15-20 weeks (3.5-4.5 months). It was originally prescribed for people with severe acne that did not respond to other treatments, but has gained in popularity in the past 25 years and is prescribed more and more frequently for less severe acne. This practice is controversial because Accutane is a serious medication and causes side effects which can be as devastating as they are widespread.


Exactly how Accutane works on a cellular level is unknown, but we do know that it affects all of the four ways that acne develops.

1. It dramatically reduces the size of the skin's oil glands (35%-58%) and even more dramatically reduces the amount of oil the skin produces (around 80%).

2. Acne bacteria (P. acnes) live in skin oil. Since oil is so dramatically reduced, so is the amount of acne bacteria in the skin.

3. It also slows down how fast the skin produces skin cells inside the pore, which helps pores from becoming clogged in the first place.

4. It has anti-inflammatory properties.


Although acne may get worse within the first month of Accutane use, the ultimate results are usually dramatic. Accutane works to achieve partial or complete clearance of acne in about 95% of people who complete a cycle, regardless of whether they have inflammatory or non-inflammatory acne. The majority of people who take it see their acne effectively cured, experiencing long-term remission of acne symptoms. Studies show an average relapse rate of 25%, and in these cases sometimes a second course is given. This relapse rate is dose-dependent. Patients who receive a cumulative dose of 100-120mg/kg see the best results and lowest relapse rates. Patients who receive a lower dose relapse more frequently. Daily dosage depends on how much the patient weighs;0.5mg - 2mg/kg is typical.

Accutane need not be paired with other medications. For people who have problems handling Accutane, intermittent dosage is potentially an option and is being studied for effectiveness. Generic forms of Accutane may or may not be as therapeutic or safe. This is based on only one study which was performed in the UK in 2006. Out of the 14 generic brands studied, 13 failed to match Roaccutane (as it is called in the UK) in one or more tests and 11 failed in three or more tests. More studies like this one are needed to obtain better data on this subject.


Side Effects of Accutance

Accutane can cause severe, life-threatening birth defects. Never use Accutane if you are pregnant.


Do not take vitamin supplements containing vitamin A while you are taking isotretinoin. Do not donate blood while taking Accutane and for at least 30 days after you stop taking it.


Accutane can cause severe, life-threatening birth defects if the mother takes the medication during pregnancy. Even one dose of Accutane can cause major birth defects of the baby's ears, eyes, face, skull, heart, and brain. Never use Accutane if you are pregnant.

For Women: Unless you have had your uterus and ovaries removed (total hysterectomy) or have been in menopause for at least 12 months in a row, you are considered to be of child-bearing potential.

Even women who have had their tubes tied are required to use birth control while taking Accutane.

You must have a negative pregnancy test 30 days before you start taking Accutane. A pregnancy test is also required before each prescription is refilled, right after you take your last dose of Accutane, and again 30 days later.

You must agree in writing to use two specific forms of birth control beginning 30 days before you start taking Accutane and ending 30 days after you stop taking it. Both a primary and a secondary form of birth control must be used together.

Primary forms of birth control include:

tubal ligation (tubes tied);

vasectomy of the male sexual partner;

an IUD (intrauterine device);

estrogen-containing birth control pills (not mini-pills); and

hormonal birth control patches, implants, injections, or vaginal ring.

Secondary forms of birth control include:

a male latex condom plus spermicidal foam or gel;

a diaphragm plus spermicidal foam or gel;

a cervical cap plus spermicidal foam or gel; and

a vaginal sponge containing spermicide.

Stop using Accutane and call your doctor at once if you have unprotected sex, if you quit using birth control, if your period is late, or if you think you might be pregnant

This is part of my reply to you actually. The first part was gone! ish..


I asked what mask did she offer you? Is it the purifying treament mask? If you wish to try that, I can give you a little bit to try out before you get the big bottle.

Howis your skin now. hehee. the powder mask like fried chicken powder...? oops.. secret revealed..

Heheh.. no lar, it's actually a natural glutinous rice flour mask mix with some anti-bacteria herbs. It does help to dry up those acne with puss but for yours, is still those headless, therefore result may be slow. You still can apply everynight on the big acne after you apply the refining essence and refining gel 2. Please do take note that the refining gel 2 cant be over use yea..


I really looking forward to see your smooth and clear face!!!! Do visit a good beautician to extract out the impurities 2 / 3 weeks once.


Let me know what mask yea..

hi dear..

my face look a lil bit smoother esp after using the miracle sun block..

i dun have so many blackheads now n temporary dun see any big acnes disturbing my face.. those that come out r only small one.. but.. i have a very big problem now.. which is the SCARS.. due to my itchy hand.. but i do try to control my hands nowdays..

wats the solution of those disgusting scars?? use mask or night cream or anything else??

i never heard bout the purifying treatment mask.. is it one of actizen product?? any detail introduction on it??

so sorry that i still cannot update u with my photo as there is no much improvement if see from the photo.. but one thing for sure is that.. i can feel that my face is smoother when i touch

looking forward for the sample mask.. hehe.. nice seller.. lots of free gifts n samples..

one thing that i must introduce.. THE FACE SCRUB.. do put some photo n demo for this product dear.. so wasted if u dun share it here..

Hi dear,

i had posted your stuff and gave you a jar of the hydra,whitening and soothing mask & a jar of purifying treatment mask. THe purifying treatment mask is grey in color and smells tea tree. It is from actizen for saloon use only. they never sell this
Oh ya,2 boxes of scrub inside one for you another for your friend who bought siy from me. thanks for recommending ppl to me.

I had called the principal regarding the hydra,whitening and soothing cream mask on your skin. As what I told ya just now, if you have pimple/acne now , may be not so suitable. I never see your current skin condition now therefore cant really tell. Make sure the beautician recommend to you really meant to treat your skin with the mask and not to get your sales only yea.

Actizen has another type of silk mask which is more suitable for you i think. It is a paper mask but dont know why they kept on ask me to say silk mask. they claim the material of the mask sheet is better than "paper" bla bla bla..
Anyway, the mask is nice 1 pc rm18 a little expensive. I will give you one next time yea.

For scars, go for hydra essence, night moisturizer & refining gel 2. btw, how much you left for the refiing gel 2. Remember yea, do not over use. remember the steps i teach you If your skin ever peel, you may temporary stop for a week first. then only continue back with 2-3 timess application per week.

may add in copper peptide serum moisture. It'sa new product from actizen but name under IFESE. i find it quite good in brightening my skin and has little result in scars as well. Copper peptide is good in cell renewal and tissue repair

hi dear!

received ur parcel in good condition.. but my things r still with my fren.. gonna try out the purifying mask tomoro night.. will feedback after used thanks for the mask yea ~ hope SIY can help my fren.. she desperately wan to slim down.. dunno why..

anyway.. r u selling the purifying mask? wat is the function of the silk mask?? can the effect last long?

i passed the refining gel 2 to my fren as she has a big pimple on her cheek.. not using it my skin peel.. but i can feel that my face is not so rough after peeling..

if i have limited budget.. which product is the best to buy to cure my scars?? i think i can only start buying next month as already out of money

one more question.. pls forgive me.. i have too many question.. how do scars form actually? my fren, SC, she never press her pimples yet she still has scars on her face.. is it because her cell renew and tissue repair process is too slow?
