after followed your regimens for like 2 months, my acne problem is getting better but  there like reddish spots left all over  is it the scars ? or the skin too dry, currently using cetaphil and panoxyl 2.5

Hi,

I have a question for you regarding my acne condition.

I'm a guy and my pimples/acne only started when i reached 19 (weird i know). I think the main cause is stress and also oily face. But is there a way to at least reduce the acne? Currently im using T3 - 'Reduce and prevent acne' but i dont its that useful. Any advise?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

Mark

thanks jinyee for ur previous reply...at 1st i tot 2 use sunscreen,but this few days suddenly acne is popping out quite a lot in numbers..i dare not 2 use anything except cetaphil n bp...it is vl reddish n i get vl embarassed by myself..wat shud i do?i feel like goin 4 extraction...malunya everybody is asking bout my face..

jinyee80, the name for the tube is tretinon , issit the same as isotetrinoin? Its a cream. i have SLE, so i must be very gentle to my skin. Thanks for your help, its very informative.

When used, dryness of the affected skin may occur. More sensitive patients may also experience redness, scaling, itching, and burning. It is best to gradually increase the frequency and amount of tretinoin application to allow your skin to adjust. Heed your doctors advice when beginning a round of treatment.

Sun exposure may be detrimental to the intended effects or tretinoin. Application of sunscreen while using tretinoin is strongly recommended.

Because usage of tretinoin may cause thinning of the skin, it is strongly recommended that patients who are using the drug abstain from hair removal waxing. The wax will, when removed, pull off the top level of epithelium (skin) with it, leaving a red, inflamed, sore, and unattractive mark for several days. If you wish to have hair removal treatments performed while using tretinoin, opt for tweezing. The recommended timeframe to wait for a waxing treatment after using tretinoin varies from source to source; anywhere from 5 days to 3 months have been reported. Speak to your aesthetician and dermatologist to discuss the best option for hair removal during or after tretinoin use.

This product should not be used if you are pregnant or seeking to become pregnant. Tests have shown increases in foetal skull abnormalities in rats.

This product increases the risk of extreme sunburn. If sunscreen is not applied, there is an minimal evidence of an increase in incidence of skin cancer.

jinyee,

after using your regimen for 2+months,i can say that my acne has cleared abit.However,my nose is still infested will acne no matter wat i do even though other areas are ok,some even develpoed into cysts,which in turn caused scars on my noseT_T.what is casuing dis problem?why my nose area is more serious??any solution??tQ in advance

dear jinyee,
is the oil non-comedogenic??how much is the oil(1st and 2nd).which would u recommend the most??would it interfere with your regimen in some way??TQ for your help....i appreciate it

It's 29 pages, and I din't browse the pages.
Maybe someone mentioned this, I usually use facial blotters.
The brand is Gatsby. It really works coz I got oily face and once I used them, I prevented acne coz I have less oil on my face. I also steam my face and remove my blackeads weekly. I think it's quite vital to remove blakcheads because whiteheads, I think we call it big acne that usually bleed when we press it are formed from blackheads.

Hi Jinyee, thanks for the wonderful tips

recently, i have body acne popping out of no where, do you recommend me to use the same regime?

i took roaccutane for 5 months...stopped for a week dy...going for medical check up, which requires urine test...its for student visa to aussie...will my application be pending or denied a visa?

Jinyee80

Jinyee80:

How about minimize pore ??

Anyway, Where can I get Pure& Mild clean up Oil . I didn't see this product is guardian or watson. The customer service said :" This product not in the market yet, confused

2. What ur opinion about Skinfood products ? A lot of good review from my friend.

thanks jinyee...should i go to facial then...i found out that everytime i go facial my acne become worst ...ever heard of dermatic before...its recomemded by the beauty house that i go...

Hi Jin Yee, I've read most of your posts and I must admit your comments are a real eye-opener for someone like me who's been battling acne for over 15 years now. Actually kinda "pai-seh" to admit.. I'm already 30 yrs old  and I have really oily skin. Though I still have acne breakout once in a while, my main problems are scars and large pores thanks to my bravely fought battle with acne.

Recently, I bought a set of tea tree oil products (cleanser+toner+moisturizer) from Body Shop and intend to stick to the cleanse-tone-moisturize regimen twice daily. Really hoping that this would help reduce all the excess oil. Might get mask and facial scrub too. Since no one has asked about Body Shop products, would like to hear your opinion. Here are the ingredients:

Btw, I'm a guy. 

I think I m combination skin.

It  was oily in T-zone area (got black & whiteheads in around the nose area), there is a light "smile wrinkles" !!  I have eye dark circles, not serious but quite apparent with my fair skin. I hardly have any pimples.

Sometimes, I felt tht my skin is itchy because of dryness. (near the ear & side face area)

I also read some articles saiding that hydration is neccesary for oily skin so that ur skin feel hydrated & won't produce so much oil ?? Is this true ??

Dear jinyee,
i nid ur help n advices again...now my acne r getting more n more terrible...after starting the regimen,stopped 4 a while..den popped out a lot...not the normal acne,it's like yellowish water inside...some r red red n big big ones..i m now using oni cetaphil n bp once per 2 days...n meanwhile consuming some direct selling chinese pills to detox the blood...

I have two pimples right now, one on my forehead and one on my cheek. It is pretty depressing and I believe it is caused by my erratic sleep patterns lately (PMS may also be a factor). I was just wondering if it's okay to use the neutrogena deep clean facial cleanser in the place of cetaphil? I have used cetaphil before but it made me feel very uncomfortable and my face felt oily even after using it.

Also, I can't find PanOxyl 2.5% anywhere I've tried 3 Guardians and 1 Watson so I gave up and bought the 5% instead. Is there any way i can lessen the harsh effect? Thanks, Jinyee

jinyee,

may i ask would bio-essence product causes any acne-related problem??TQ in advance

Hi, is it ok if i use BLACKMORES deep cleansing face wash with panoxyl 2.5% ?

the ingredient for the cleanser are Purified water, disodium lauroamphodiacetate\sodium  trideceth sulfate\hexylene glycol, sodium laureth sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfosuccinate, cocamide DEA (from coconut oil), Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree oil), glyceryl linoleate\glyceryl linolenate, PEG-150 distearate, phenoxyethanol\methylparaben\ethylparaben\butylparaben\propylparaben\isobutylparaben, fragrance, citric acid.

these are all the ingredients i copied from the bottle..... this is the link for it http://www.blackmores.com.au/Products/Deta...?ProductId=1879
is it ok if i use this together wif panoxyl?

and 1 more thing, how can i clean clogged pores, there r so many around my face especially beside my nose....

thanks jinyee80

i have bought neutrogena on-spot-treatment and hopefully its works for me....i heard that when applying moisturiser, those pimple or acne area cannot be applied...is that true...which step comes first...applying acne treatment or moisturiser...

Jinyee:
As wat i have expected, the dermatologist refuse to tell me the name of the green color facial foam. But i gonna take the sample to pharmacies and ask them. I will let u knw the name asap.

how do i know whether it's mild or not? my face got the tight and dry feeling everytime i wash it with the cleanser, is it ok with that??

1 more thing,what should i use to clean clogged pores?
thanks jinyee

Hmm juz for information, do u think tat i can get the name of the green color foam if i go to ask at the pharmacies? Anyway i will do that within tis week so tat  i can knw what i have been using after so long. Btw can u teach me hw to settle with nodules b4 i asking for the name? Anything to apply or wat precaution?

hi jinyee...

it's nearly 5 mths since i've used ur regimen... my face is clean now with less pimple... but still small ones still pop...

recently, i've been sleeping late... average around 1-1:30am... n started to start a bit "heaty"... then i notice that the pimple that pops out is reddish with yellow dot... usually it takes abt a day to clear it up... now at least 3 days...

is it due to the late nites?

and my skin can be flaky (which i dunno why)... it often happen on the face and the leg (below the knee)... is it due to dryness?

thanks in advance jinyee... now i think u're the official lowyat acne consultant... cheers!    

Jinyee80:

Any recommendation for Scrub brand ?? I scrub like once a week
I didn't managed to find any brand that is fragnence free for scrub !!

Dear Jin Yee,

May I know that can BP clear whitehead ah? What does whitehead means? Thanks!!

i used oxy 5 and 10 before this, when my skin was really bad. so would 2.5 panoxyl be too mild for me? the 5 is causing my skin to become a bit dry though.

also, what would u recommend for scars? something that is non-comodogenic becoz i dont want any pimple popping up again.

nope, i'm not always expose to air conditioned enviroment... just in office only... in fact my bedroom is the hottest... so when i'm in front of the computer, i'll have the fan aiming to the cpu... when i sleep, i let the fan spin... my bf said that i have a slightly higher body temperature than normal person... but the temperature still the same... i dunno y... the falkiness only happens at the face and leg (only thigh below the knee)... other areas aren't affected... curious...

will continue using ur regimen...       cheers to u jinyee!
