Hi Jinyee,

Wanna ask u about this gel that was recommended by a pharmacist and i has been using it for a while now.
Efasol gel: Tretinoin 0.25 mg and Erythromycin 40 mg (potency). Indications: All type of acne
I have done some searching and it says that they are mainly for killing the bacteria. So far it is quite good in treating acne. But i have my concern as well due to the high concentration of the ingredient. Is this gel safe to be used?

hmm.. i think i want to move to BP next.


Thank you so much jinyee... Appreciate ur help here..

hello,i've used jin yee regime for about a month..i wash my face twice a day with cetaphil..sumtimes 3 times a day when i feel my face too oily..i applied BP once for 2 day..1st it became red patches,then i feel burning now its so itchy..feel like want to scratch my face..i jz wear neutrogena moisturiser jz when i feel my face too dry..my pimples keep on popping until now..the 1 with puss...i try not to squeeze but sumtimes its pecah by itself..my question is,is it ok if i feel my face drying,burning,itch..how do i know if i sensitive to BP?i am jz scared i might sensitive to BP since pimples keep on popping non stop.. makes me embarass.. :-(

some people are sensitive to benzoyl peroxide and what is the strength of BP that you are using? BP is to dry up your acne and if the strength is strong, you will have the reaction that you are having.

also, when our face is dry, our skin will produce more sebum to compensate the dryness. so, why not practice using hydrating moisturizer whenever you finished washing your face. i washed my face only twice a day and if didn't go out, i wash it only once a day using cleanser, which is usually at night. in the morning, i wash it with water only. but if i go out, usually twice a day with cleanser and if i am on make up when i go out, am still washing it twice a day with cleanser and cleansing oil to remove make up.

BP isn't for everyone.. just like any other acne or skin care regime. it works for someone or some people but it won't work for everyone cus every individual skin react differently.

if your skin can't tolerate BP, you may consider changing it to other. for my case, BP and salicylic acid do not work. i find azelaic acid work better. but now i am using kojic acid soap once a day and my face is free from acne. it pops out once in a while.

My skin too cannot tolerate with BP, i've tried to apply BP recently to see if it works. Not sure if i am allergic to BP or somehow to others products i am using. My pimples pop out all out of sudden, and i went to see doctor. Wondering why it'still facing this problem even though i'm already in late twenties.

Anyone go for microdermabrasion before? I m thinking to have a try to improve the scars (black patches/marks) on my face left from previous acne.

Any one can recommend if there's any concealer ie BB cream, Foundation and Sun block non-comedogenic which doesnot exaggerate acne problem? I cant accept my nude face without covering my skin problem

kojic acid soap has helped me a lot in lightening my dark acne marks and also keep acne popping out at bay. i still get it once in a while but nothing as serious as before.

BB cream? i like L'OCEAN. i have oily skin and it doesn't cause my skin to become oilier or caused me any acne formation too.

sunblock... i am using biore sara sara UV perfect face milk. it has a silky powdery finished. non-comedogenic of course.

i don't really need as much concealer as before as well.

where do u buy kojic soap?

-i use BP 2.5 as jin yee advice..i am scared to use others products since my face is quiet sensitive and very oily..i used to use roaccutane but then stop bcoz of da side effects..that time my face was fine..then i stop and change my skincare.then da pimples start to came out.then i found this tread and want to give a try.but now its getting worst..but since jin yee said that this need a lot of patient then i may stick with it but if its getting worst maybe i should stop the BP part..may i know what brand do u use for ur hydrating moisturizer and cleansing oil?

hi jin yee. im following ur regime for about 3 weeks now. and i guess, it works for me. thank you so much! but i only managed to get cetaphill and neutrogena moisturizer. i couldnt find panoxyl 2.5 anywhere here in Sabah. anyone here from sabah? where did u guys get dat panoxyl 2.5? i searched for it at guardian@ sandakan and KK.x found yet.

Yea I have tried finding benzoyl peroxide at several guardian stores. Even asked them to call up the other stores but all of them do not have 2.5%, only 5 or 10%. My relative at johor bahru couldn't find 2.5% as well. How did you all manage to get 2.5% benzoyl peroxide? I'm thinking of going to Gleneagles and buy one soon but it might be a big more expensive.

CAN TRY NIU ER NEW PRODUCT CALLED NARUKO
