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 cry.gif

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?
*
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..

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 sad.gif
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..

yea, some warts will dissapear by itself and some will spread even more. Try to take brazilian bee propolis. I had wart at another part of my body and i went to do treatment but dont think it is good for face ler. it's acidic stuff and burnt it off. I think will get bad scars ler. the warts dropped a few days later but grew back again. then i took propolis and apply on it. somehow it just dissapeared. You can try...

propolis? what brand did you buy from?

Thx Yumiko!

Here I m to give you some review. I really want to say thank you for your kind consultation and so patient in answering all my irritating questions.

I used ACTIZEN full set a few months ago and now my skin had improved ! Many friend compliment on my skin during our school mates gathering night. Hapeee rclxms.gif

My acne is much controllable ( I still get 2-3 small ones before period ) and my scars improved!!! My face much much brighter and no more extremely oily oily face after I back from lunch.

My friends say my skin is fairer compared to last time dont know is it the products or because now I work in office therefore seldom expose to sun.  hmm.gif

Overall, I can see improvement day by day and thank you soooooooooooooo soooooooooo much yumiko !!

Another question, anything for my big big moon face pores? I want to close pores. Eventhough my friends say my pores is not so obvious as before but any product to improve?
*
may i know what is minicutie using now? is my condition same as hers?
did i told you last night that i have plenty of tiny tiny bumps on my chin? wondering why is that so huh..

She has big huge headless acne. The acne very difficult to recover and stay on for months something like my skin condition last time.
Hers is a bit diff from yours. Then her skin a bit congested and not eventone plus scars.

I gave her purifying cleanser, purifying essence , refining gel 2 and acne ampoule (tat time i no refining essence yet) as start. When her skin oiliness much better and big huge acne starts to subside or turn into yellowish puss, i Had her to go to her own beautician to extract them out. Later on, I added hydrating essence for her followed by night cream for repairing purpose and lighten her scars.

I think last month she just got my new copper peptide moisturizer as day moisturizer.

Those at the chin i think is whiteheads like mine. I still have those whiteheads too over my chin tat is why I squeezed them out and cause the stpid pimple there. my condition is much better compared to last time after using the refining essence. just that i wash my face kinda late everyday about 10-11pm and alot of impurities on my skin that is why i still get some whiteheads.
*
oh so if im using refining essence, i do not have to use refining gel 2? wondering if these are going away soooon..all the bumps on my chin and at the side of my mouth..sigh.,,blaming on dermedex?

wow,by doing so, i believe their business must have been impacted a lot. hmm.. but what i really dont understand is that how come they can change their batch by batch ingredient?


Added on December 25, 2009, 12:40 am
those bumps actually after you clear often it will reduce lesser and lesser.Then, we should use alot of hydrating stuff to hydrate our cells and tighten the pores. I used to have those whitish bumps like yours a lot. very irritating I know.

shd have look at my face yesterday and today after facial..all the red dots frm clogs that she extracted..

i heard from our friend, LF that they are framed by competitor, she did not mentioned who is the competitor but according to her, that person showed all her clients on Dermedex's report proving that it contained Dexa.
Wondering if she faked the report. Since the product is from singapore, the singapore's manufacturer been questioned and that's why last year, Dermedex was out of stock for 3 months for investigation.

Hi dear,
I went for facial yesterday too. finally extract out the stupid pimplei showed you the other day. Leaving a scar again.

Oh i remembered regarding the out of stock issue last year. Tammy was pushing ppl to keep more demerdex at home because no stock and they changed their packaging after that right. But if they were framed by competitor, singapore government will not recall one of the batch right. Anyway...i personally felt that dexa is not very harmful kua if never apply everyday for long term.

Actually now you are scariing me, the eczema cream I am applying can apply for long term or not..

Hi dearie,
Thanks for your order. I already packed your items except for the sunblock. smile.gif Will get them posted out tomorrow, monday and sunblock on tuesday yea..
