Hi Jinyee,

I'm a newbie here  and has huge red pimples pop up around my chin area during my menses. Its quite embrassing and i tried many OTC products to dried up quickly but fail. Any good product to recommend or home remeady? I heard applying honey to the pimple could reduce the imflamation.

Thanks 

i've emailed... n someone named kristine wong has replied me that they will forward to the management for their attention... just for updates...

Dear JinYee,

You are really an expert in this field. Thanks to be a consultant for us.

what do you think about E-Excel product? it is a direct sales product where the agents claim that their product are produced naturally. However, my skin is too sensitive and their product is not suitable for my skin.

I'm currently use product from Natorny. I guess you never heard about this name, right? the Natorny beautician also said their products are made from Herbs. last time i used and it is quite effective although it takes time. the product is too expensive, therefore i switch to other brand. then my skin back to worst again. now even though i use Natrony product but yet my skin still very worst. if you never heard about Natorny, i will post the ingredients by tonight or this weekend. so that you can advice whether the product is safe to use or not.

FYI, yesterday only i read this forum and only know the cleanser called Cetaphil. after work, i straight dropped by Guardian and bought a bottle of Cetaphil. Hope that i can see the result very soon. however, i afraid that my skin will be very dry if i only use Cetaphil cleanser and Panoxl on the Acne. Please advice if i need to use any moistruriser.

thanks a lot,
nj922

hi jinyee,
I'd like to know about your opinion on retin A.. is it recommended? cos i'm thinking about switching to this after my current tube of panoxyl finished..

this is my face regimen, i'd like your opinion on what I should do and not do..
morning:
1.cleanse with simple regulating exfoliator wash (it doesn't really exfoliate)
2.panoxyl
3.moisturiser (I use aiken tea tree oil lotion, very light)

night:
1. cleanse with za oil cleanser followed by simple cleanser
2. tone with sk2 (sometimes only)
3. panoxyl
4. moisturise (the body shop vit e face mist then aiken moisturiser)

but of course i waited till the item that i put on my face dried before proceed with the next one..

i started on panoxyl and also za oil cleanser 2 weeks ago... my face is less oily but the first week i started using panoxyl the skin on my cheek peels a bit but now ok already..and also less breakouts..

and i also take antibiotics for my pimples..it's called myscoin or something.. this is the 2nd month already.....

thank you..
edited: by the way, you advised that we should only wash our face like 2 times a day but the doctor that i went to told me to wash 4 times a day i.e. morning, noon, evening and night... this i'm confused...
but i only wash my face 2 times la.. morning and night..

jinyee,

i've been using ur regimen for a 2 mths liao... the breakouts is definitely very little... i'm very happy... thanks to u...

my face is a bit rough now... is it possible to reduce that? mayb a scrub? do u recommend to add in a scrub now? or wait for a few more mths? i'm considering st yves scrub...
thanks, jinyee... u're the BEST !!      

How about evening primerose oil?

panoxyl doesnt rili work for me my pimple has no changes after apply this :S

How bout applying apple cider vinegar on your face after cleansing? Read on the net that it helps acne..

Any comments?

Thanks.

does evening primerose oil help reduce acne?

Thanks Jinyee,

Btw, care to shed some light on this? Acnacare and the LHE treatment thingy.. Thanks!

jinyee,

sorry ar... me keep posting...   wanna ask if cetaphil will reduce oil on my face? coz i'm oily on the T-zone and open pores on my cheeks near the nose... if i add in moisturizer to my current regimen, which would u recommend? i really dun like moisturizer coz sometimes it'll add more oil to my face...

i'll be going away to phuket next week... is there anything i should take care of? can i put mentholeum spf65++ sunblock on my face?

thanks.
nicKit.

Dear Jin Yee,

i accidentally bought a Cetachil Moistrurizing Cream which is in pink color. can i use it during day and night time? i feel very sticky when i apply it.
i found one of the thread you replied where we can use Netrogena Oil-free moisture SPF15 during day time. The moisture is in cream type or lotion type? can i apply liquid foundation after applying the moistrurizers?

thanks,
nj922

Noted, I will only apply Cetaphil moistrure cream at night as i sleep in aircon room.

is the Neutrogena Oil-Free SPF15 going to be obsoluted in Malaysia very soon? if there is the case, i think i need to get some stock asap.

btw, do you have any liquid foundation recommend? do i need to remove the foundation with make-up removal to remove the foundation? or I can still use the Cetaphil gentle cleanser?

hi jinyee,

i've just switched to cetaphil and panoxyl(applied only at night)... it feels good but my skin seems to be turning red the next morning and has a burning sensation  kinda itchy as well.. prolly me skin is sensitive >.<

is this normal for the skin to react this way in the beginning stages and will it improve later on?

rgds

when i started this regimen, i also feel itchy and a bit burning but it's temporary... so dun worry... right, jinyee?

i apply everynight wor.. haha.. now skin red-red and peeling like kena sunburn..

this is my regimen..

morning cleanse with cetaphil and apply acnacare gel..

at night cleanse with cetaphil and apply apple cider vinegar(diluted) wait till dry then apply panoxyl...

btw, just to add.. i go to the gym after work like 3 times a week and only wash my face after, is it ok for the skin?.. i also swim quite often but i wash my face after.. will chlorine be detrimental for the skin? what should i do about it?

thanks a bunch!

Jinyee80:
Last time i visit my dermatologist and he gave me a kind of green color facial foam and it really works good on me and the acne in my face was clear. Now i am using tis regimen : green color facial foam + NOTS. But my prob is whenever i wanna buy the green color facial foam i must travel far from my place to the clinic. So if i ask the doc wat the name of the green color facial foam is, do u think he will tell me easily? coz i wanna buy the facial foam in pharmacieas or if possible watson or guardian. I ask jinyee b4 wat will possibly be the green color facial foam and u tell me tat maybe is SEBAMED. If it  is really SEBAMED can it works as well as CETAPHIL? Can u tell me something specific abt tis product coz the dermatologist say tis product can use on other skin problem as well. Thnx.

jinyee,

i got a ques here.should i apply my moisturiser AFTER or BEFORE i put on topical solution(differin) on my pimples??i usually waits about 15-30 min before applying moisturiser.tq

i use to have pimples and break out all the time since standard 6, till when i was in my college year i started to use a france product call "GErnetic", then everything just gone...takes sometimes like few months to see the result but it works..but still have to maintain it everyday. the product it 's kinda expensive but can use for long time lar..hahhaha.That's the only product i can trust but its kinda hard to find. Actually pimples wont go forever , it will be one or two zits tat pops out once in a while due to the toxic in our body, just have to detoxific your body or just apply the immuno mask and it will be smooth and crystal clear the next morning, girls must be hardworking in order to stay preety !! hahahaa

Hi Jinyee,

Btw, have you came across this product, Zitless before? Used to use it and it worked miracles for me but it has been discontinued about a year or so. By any chance do you know how I can get my hands on it again? Refer to link for details.

Hi. JinYee.

i'm new here and i have read half of your thread only because it is too long.
But i will continue to follow up it. I have been using Cetaphil cleanser that you recommended about one month.

My skin condition is very bad and it got a lot of holes and red marks.
Currently, it still pop out a few small pimples.

Should i put toner after cleasing my face? What pimples gel should i used? Neutrogena On-the-spot or PanOxy?

How could i smoothen my face to make the holes and red marks not too visible?
I only use cetaphil and don't do other treatment or product. is it sufficient to control the acne on my face?

thanks and i 'm really appreciate your reply.

Thanks jinyee...when shud i change the skincare?i mean,how many days shud i stop using my current skincare b4 i switch to the cetaphil?

and oso can i noe whether shud i go for beauty saloon?i hav gone 2...but i m vl worried if extraction may leave scars(it does sometimes)...

i m stil a teenager...shud i take some hormon pills 2 control the acne?

hi jinyee,

i have been diligently using the regime u have recommended for close to 3 months now and my skin does feel and look much better!

The problem now being there are some minor scars which are taking quite a long time to heal - so much so that my gf bought me a product from biotherm homme called anti-rides line peel which promotes natural healing of the skin particularly on wrinkles and acne scars. It uses silicium, moisurising agents, thermal plankton ( main 5 ingredients: aqua/water, dimethicone, alcohol enat, glycerin, octylodecanol ). Is this product safe to be used? She is also thinking of buying a home microdermabrasion kit being sold in guardian - i will post the name and the ingredients after work once i have checked out its contents. Thanks again for all ur help, jinyee~
