hi jin yee,

hi! i have acne prone skin but it is getting better n better now, but it still cant clear up and there is some small small pimples on my cheeks and forehead. Im so sad. and recently, my back is fulled of pimples, dont know why it is getting worse. I'm using Johnson shower foam now and following my fren's suggestion to use the 'hhard sponge' to rub my back, but the condition remains the same.
Could you pls advise me?? Thank you so much!

Hye Jin Yee,

I found this topic 2 months back and my wife followed your regimen. At first she was following as you said, but after few days i confused a little bit about the steps . Then she followed the same products which you recommended with ACNE.ORG site's STEP's (Spread Treatment on your face). The step which they recommended created more pimples all over face due to (Spread Treatment on your face).

After 1 month only we realise there was something wrong on the acne.org steps and then we return to your steps back. Just within few days there was alot of changes.

Before i found this topic my wife was going to treatment at NEW YORK SOLUTIONS at Plaza Pelangi JB. I paid RM 15000 for all the f**** sessions. Only little bit difference can be seen after 7 months. After that she used Natashya Gold Night Cream. That makes the skin more worst.

I think all 3 products which you said is below RM100 and it takes just few weeks to see the improvement. I will give you a treat when i come to KL ( You are from KL rite ?)
Thanks alot and your regimen makes my wife happier

Do you have any regimen for reduce the blackmarks on the skin ?

I attached her Photo in this post. Check out her Difference

Kindly,
Franky

Hi, Jinyee, I really need a few cents from you.

This few recent months I've been having quite severe acnes due to sleepless nights, organizing events and having endless meetings in my campus life. I ignore it, because I thought that it'll heal naturally like usual. Then, after my finals my acnes worsens.

I use to have fair acne-less skin. Now, It's all ruined with acnes. Therefore, I thought that I should look for a remedy b4 things get worse.

My relatives and mom has been using Melilea range products. My mom and those aunties have really seriously 'glowing' good skin. On the other hand, My friends recommended me to use the Vichy 'Normaderm' range. Those with the anti-imperfection, tri-activ series. I've no idea which to follow. Mind to provide me with some advice?

*I'm male, and no I've not been using facial products b4, because I use to believe in the natural way.

I hope these links may help.

last few days, i tried oxy10 at my new acne on my right cheek. left it overnite. later, it gets really irritating. the next morning, that spot on my cheek looks like 'burned'. now it left a black spot that i'm not sure whether it will dissapear or not

any suggestion for my problem? people already start asking bout the mark and its frustating since i wasnt really have acne problem before. if only i could turn back the time, i would never ever buy oxy10.

Oxy 10 is a strong concentration of Benzoyl Peroxide. They kill P.acnes bacteria that causes inflammation on your face. They're different concentration of BP. 2.5, 5, and 10. If it's your 1st time using BP, you should start with 2.5 instead, 10 is would be too much for your skin. Perhaps PanOxyl 2.5 recommended by JinYee would be a better choice. As for the 'burned' spot, have no worries. It'll heal gradually. It only takes time. Cheers~

yea, oxy 10 is too strong.in fact, all oxy are too strong. they leave my acne zits dried up the next day but they also dry out the good skin around the zits and the patch sometimes stay for very long..

does anyone know where can i get benzac 2.5% ??? the only i can find was benzac 5%

i used root from a tree to dry the acne.. it help.. really!

last time when i buy the root from a seller, need to blend and add water then paste on pimple.. the next day, the pimple already dry.. =)
the root came from thailand.. i guess, tat why thailand people face so clear.. =)

maybe you can try jusco the wellnes section i think
i found mine there since guardian only have 5%

Mind telling me more?

Hi, can anyone recommend me any product for pimples and its scar? My skin sometimes got itchy too
Thanks

Hi there.

a therapy allow to improve skin from acne scar, pores....

Dermaroller, anyone has such experiences applied to yourself before (head skin, face, nose, body skin)?

Errr, can I know do I still need to use normal face wash cleanser i.e. I'm using Clean and Clear face cleanser if want to use this regimen? Seriously need reply as having acne problems suddenly at the age of 20.

For proper facial care, you'll need a cleanser, toner and moisturiser. You are only using facial cleanser, which is not good enough.
This regime has already recommended Cetaphil cleanser, you can stop using your Clean and Clear and use Cetaphil.

If there has been no change in your diet/environment, your acne could be most likely due to hormones.
Acne due to hormones usually can't be cured overnight and most commercialize products won't work as well.

Try finding out what type of skin you have first, oily skin or dry skin. Most of us think that acne prone skin is definitely oily skin. But if our skin is too dry, it'll produce more oil. So if we don't keep our skin moisturised, it'll produce acnes as well.

Men can use this regimen right? I'm searching information about acne and finally found this topic.

Anyway, is it necessary to use Neutrogena oil-free moisture for SPF15 - NMSPF during daytime and Neutrogena oil-free moisture for combination skin - NMCS during night? Can't we just use either 1 moisturizer?

Sorry for asking stupid question as I'm not familiar with these type of skin care products.

Of course men can use this regime. Anyone can.

It is RECOMMENDED to use that particular moisturiser but if you prefer to use other moisturiser then go ahead. There are many type of moisturiser for many types of skin. Some are very oily while some are water based. Just go to any Guardian/Watsons and you'll see the many different varieties.

Most of us have to try many brands to find one that is suitable for our skin. This brand may work for your friend, but that doesn't mean it will surely work for you. Everyone reaction to certain products are different. Ingredients in these products are different as well.

Ooo... Thanks alot. 1 last question, Benzoyl Peroxide should apply around the acne only or whole face? I quite confused with all the comments in this topic.
