Jinyee 80, u are using SK II Pitera Essence, isn't it??

Actually, a lot of over counter products have excess metallic substance, just no authority investigate them. Most of them didn't list out all their ingredients....

Frankly speaking, products that give u result in a short time (with active ingredients) is most dangerous one, cause skin cancer etc.

But, none of the products is Malaysia is 100% Natural, preservation chemical ingredients...

hi jinyee, u have always mention that moisturizer is not necessary. but i wonder, wont our skin be too dry after cleansing? if its too dry our skin might produce more oil...
sometimes after cleansing my skin will feel slightly tight if not applying moisturizer..

btw, for those who are looking for cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer, Jusco at 1U has it.

Hi, i just stumbled across this thread and i hope u can enlighten me about the product i am using and should i consult a doctor.

I've been seeing the dermatologist for like 5-6 years, and each time he would prescribe me with clindamycin gel and i do not know the name of it until recently where i enquired it with the clinic's receptionist, and then i bought it at the pharmacy.

NOTE: Do not proceed if u have not had your meal.

I read the instruction leaflet and find that in some cases, diarrhea would occur as a side effect. The thing is i have been going to the loo every morning and it has became a routine. But the thing is that when i do my business, the 'business outcome' would not be like those 'banana' type and when i flush the toilet, i saw that it is like half solid + solution. If u get what i mean. I'm worried now that it is because of the gel that i used for so long that i'm having like diarrhea-like business whenever i visit the toilet.

p/s : Tried my best not to be so descriptive as it might upset certain ppl who had not had their meals.

Sorry if i had upset anyone who proceeded to read on. Cheers.

jinyee80:
after last time i got lots of pimple i feel my face not as smooth as it did last time( the time when i dont have pimples at all). Now the face is like "kasar" a bit. If i nw constanly wash (2 times in a day) my face will it become smoother? i mean not tat kasar..i hope u understand wat i mean.

What kind of resources, please quote its name. I would like to read further more.

Well,sometimes you have no choice. Okie, lets quote an example. Everyone knew that accutane is dangerous, its side effects are so significant which you might end up with liver and kidney damage or even worst, you may born out an abnormal baby but people still intend to take on the risk. What do you see from this outcome? When it is talking about acne, and especially acne on your face, and you have tried a lots and put a lots of efforts of heal it but yet it still pop out, you will go for the extreme and ultimate solution.

Benzoyl Peroxide if using in long term, will or will not cause skin cancer, no one actually knew it. But to a person who develops acne and feel depressed on it, would you think that he will be dying out to try other alternative rather than thinking of maybe he might die one day due to the usage of acne products which will cause him cancer in long term.

I have tried to choose the most least side effect products for you all. Eventually, its still up to you to decide on whether you wan to have a try or not. I am not forcing you, right?

I am not using SKII frequently. Nothing is natural unless you plant your own aloe vera and pluck it to apply it as a mask on the spot.


It really depends. After you wash your face, pat it dry and do not ever expose yourself under direct air-cond or fan. Obviously the moving air will drag the moisture around your skin away. Then, you will feel tight. Its really not necessary if you are not sleeping in air-cond environment. The temperature is hot in malaysia and if you apply tonnes of products on your face every single night, you will end up messing things on your face. When your face got upset, you will know the outcome.


Well, try my regimen and you wouldn't get the outcome that you stated above anymore.

It will, but not so soon. Give yourself at least 2.5months for results.

jinyee,

i usethe cetaphil gentle cleanse for 3 days now... is it normal for the face to peel? after washing, is it also normal to have a tingling feel?

thanks.

my face was ok before i came to melacca , mmu to further my studies.. i don really know wat happen to my face recently..

my face do have acne.. and according to the beautician my face is dry out oily inside.. so wat facial fash should i use?

Yup. Because your previous cleanser is not good enough. Therefore, your skin reacted by removing the old layer, now you will start with a brand new skin layer. Since its new, so you will feel tingling. It wouldn't persist long as your skin will adapt to the environment.

Well, any word - CETAPHIL. Its good enough to accomodate every type of skin.

haha juz bought my 1st NOTS last night any can start my Cetaphil + NOTS regimen nw heheh. Is it normal when i apply NOTS, i feel a bit burn on the acne spot?

Great.Starting using it and your problem will decrease very soon. You will feel tingling because your skin has not get used to Benzoyl Peroxide yet. Give yourself some time. Use it once per two nights, then after 1-2weeks that your skin can tolerate BP, you can apply once per day already.




Jinyee

Yesterday night i apply NOTS for the very 1st time. This morning when i wake up u found out tat the pimples tat i appy NOTS on it is dry out but i leave a red marks or red dots tat are very obvious. Isit normal? I worry that if i apply on acne all over my face, my fgace will full of red marks. Or isit happened coz the quantiti tat i apply is too much? but i only apply a low amount of NOTS only.

Hi jinyee...

I'm new here. Need your advice on my acne problem.

currently i'm using Murad skincare for almost 3 months now but still no improvement, i think it's getting worse. i've tried many products before include nuetrogena but no luck. My skin is oily..and i got scars and blackheads.

any suggestions to get rid of the acne, scar and blackhead..?


Thanks

Its normal at first. It will fade very soon. Its called as post inflammantory hyperpigmentation. When your acne has clear, then probably I can recommend some thing to you for the marks.


Murad is not good. Actually its the same with Proactiv solution. They are too harsh for the skin. Try my regimen, and read through the posts in this thread to get more info.

Try CETAPHIL, it works!

hello jinyee80,
i saw 2 types on cetaphil cleanser at guardian the other day.
One is with pump, and the other one is in the tube(facial cleanser for oily skin if i not mistaken). Which one is recommended by you? The pupm one or the tube one?

hi jinyee...

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=308877&st=280


Nope, only on acne and other products that may trigger acne as well, such as shampoo and etc.


Nope. Working as a banker in full time and doing research regarding acne as my part time job. My mum is a dermatologist in UK, so her helps meant a lot to my research.
