Antimicrobial effects of Thai medicinal plants against acne-inducing bacteria.
J Ethnopharmacol. 2005 Oct 3;101(1-3):330-3.
Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis have been recognized as pus-forming bacteria triggering an inflammation in acne. The present study was conducted to evaluate antimicrobial activities of Thai medicinal plants against these etiologic agents of acne vulgaris. Crude extracts were tested for antimicrobial activities by disc diffusion and broth dilution methods. The results from the disc diffusion method showed that 13 medicinal plants could inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acnes. Among those, Senna alata, Eupatorium odoratum, Garcinia mangostana, and Barleria lupulina had strong inhibitory effects. Our data indicated that Garcinia mangostana had a strong inhibitory effect on Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Therefore, mangosteen would be an interesting topic for further study and possibly for an alternative treatment for acne.

any suggestion?..pm me pls..thanks

hi...my skin got pimples, scars n oily...what shud i use n how much..thanks

Hey, guess wat..i called up the salon yesterday asking them about this recall, the answers they gave me, i find many loopholes :

1) they claimed the contents are higher in singapore (i thought m'sia dermedex also come from singapore? does that mean they agreed that it contained dexamethasone too?)
2) they said singapore's government is stricter (so, m'sia government is not?)
3) dermedex refining cream is now only available in pharmacies and clinics under prescriptive drugs in singapore

i asked about the list of ingredients, they said will get the list for me.

then i asked about the test results, they said they sent to the factory in malacca for testing and it tested negative for dexamethasone (dont you think that's loophole here?)

if dermedex are from singapore and from the same company in singapore, i doubt that the ingredients are any differents, right?

They can pay the factory to come out with a clean list of ingredients, you know..so how can i trust them about using Dermedex anymore since it's under prescriptive item in singapore already.

Sigh! my pimples popped out as usual now.. no more clear skin

Dear,

They lady from singapore told me a different thing during the last beauty fair.
She just mentioned there was a ingredient that not suppose to be inside the category of product somehow rather tested available in that particular batch only. hence it has been recalled. She said all the other batches all tak ada.. They are all telling lies eh. Btw, if under prescriptive item, meaning we cant use in long term?

I have read from dont know which forum, ppl complaining after stop using the refining cream, their pimples just came back like normal or even more. But I do like the refining cream too eh, the cooling feel.

Many pimples on your face now? Could it be due to heatiness? Or from the clogs?

Dear, I have a bad eye bags (coz last time used to sleep late). Any recommendation? I have tried some products but still not really effective, feels like only operation can help to solve it.. Hmm

I have some open pores, oily Tzone, some fine lines on forehead.. Sometimes lots of blackheads.. Occasionally pimples.. Any recommendation?

You may PM me.. Thanks

Hi!! I would like to try out this product.

Please recommend me something suitable for oily and dull skin, blackhead prone, scars from past blemishes and something for the occasional pimple(s)!

My skin is quite sensitive too. I can't use Clinique products. Its very hard trying to find the right products which can give good results. Thanks!

Do you think that they will tell you the truth? what if her boss overheard her telling you the truth? she may lose her job anytime!

Yes i have googled a forum and if im not mistaken you and I were browsing the same forum, that's the Singapore forum..many users complained that after they stop using it, their pimples come back (they even said the earlier batch was much better than the current batch but to me, i still find that the current batch is still effective in fighting pimples).

If the ingredient is not available in the current batch, why Singapore's government imposed a new ruling for that products??

Yes, descriptive products meaning you need doctor's precription and since dexamethasone is under steroid, you cannot use it in long term.

got few pimples on my forehead but not large, could be from the facial more than one week ago , which is normal and also mentruation (as i told you, i had that before menstruation but since using dermedex, no more pimples...scary or good news??) and now since i stop using dermedex, it is going back to normal..

yumiko,

I would like to try the product.

Skin condi:
combo & sensitive skin type, deep scars, visible blackhead & whitehead.

Please advise. Thanks

Hi dear,
I had write to you on the recommended items.
If you do not have any acne problems, scars willl be easily treated.

hi dear,

im just wondering if any of your friends/customers have flat warts on their face..remember i told you about mine?
Searched some treatment online and the cheapest is to apply Retin A on affected area..wondering if anyone tried Retin A for facial warts and if it's effective?
my skin has few pimples, congested too, i guess cos now im quite confussed between congested skin and warts..
im using the refinning essence to treat my pimples by rubbing on those pimples and it seems quite useful in making them dried but not going away..going for extraction this friday.
btw, have you ever get this whitish tingy off your face after you applied sunblock? it's like dried surface of the skin.. im wondering if it's becos after i applied the refining essence on my cheeks and it's too dry? but i applied hydrating serum and moisturiser after that.

My bf has those facial warts, i cant remember the terms doctor used to name it. I dont think yours is similar like his. His warts are from the body and there is no medication for it
Christine your face is okie alright, i afraid retin A too strong for it eh.

Yes, the refining essence will helps to dry up pimples, but you will still need to extract out the dried up puss inside.

Yea, i get what you mean regarding the whitish thing. It's something like flaky skin is it? It is normal if your skin is dry, the sunblock some how make it obvious that your skin is flaky. I think is too much of refining essence when u try to dry up your pimple. It shoul dbe alright after your cell renew.

im afraid if i dont get my warts done, the chances of spreading will be very high, i read in the internet that 70% ppl's warts will go off in 2 years time without any medication.

Your bf's warts belong to another type of warts, some with blackish head thing on the neck and that's due to fatty liver. yes, the flaky thing, i think i will try to use less of the essence then..

rmber not to sell the essence and pass to me when you are free ya..
