jinyee,

i've been using cetaphil gentle cleanser for abt 2 mths already...
n just used the panoxyl for abt one week

n my face is clearing but there's still some little ones n scars...
so far so good

just wanna ask if this regimen has whitening effect...
coz i noticed that my face is a bit whiter...

Where to buy panoxyl ??

My NOTS is going to expired.

My face turn fairer, anyway I m a guy.
I think I m too fair, as a guy, fairer than many of the girls..

Hi Jinyee,


I'm a new member in this forum. I'm interested in this topic since i'm having problem with acne from the past 4 months.

I have tried your recommendation to use the cetaphil gentle cleanser. I like to use it since its very mild, BUT it didn't clean my face very well and create a lot of blackheads (eventhough i always use cleansing oil to remove my make up). Then i stopped using it. Do you think the liquid cleanser from neutrogena will clean my face better?

Another question:
I'm using tinted moisturizer every day. Compare with Foundation, which one is better? FYI, i have an oily skin type.


Thank you very much

u can get panoxyl at guardian...

i've searched watson but failed...

Hi everyone, I'm new here. Recently I found Aesop Chamomile concentrate Anti Blemish Masque very good for my acne. Normally I'll hav some acne during my periods, I just apply the masque on the acne spot b4 i go to bed. Next day just wash ur face like normal routine n the acne is cleared! It really works.
At first I bought it for my bf to use, coz he starts to grow lots of acne for the pass few months and it just keep popping out of no where . I have bought alot of cream, gel, tea tree oil for phamarcy and beauty shops all doesnt works for him (now i have most of the acne treatment cream lying there untouch n most just opened.. can say i spend alot on buying these product) . So I did some research on acne n most ppl recommend this product fr Aesop. Is a little expensive, so i bought the small tube and it works very well on my bf's face. Same routine, continuous to leave it over nite on the acne spots for 2 to 3 nites and now his face is all clear.. just left some acne scar that needs to b lighten .
I hope my information will help u all... good luck on fighting acne!!

where u bought this brand called Aesop from!??how much is the product costs?

I bought the 15ml tube size for RM79. Aesop is under Kensapothecary. U can find it at:
KLCC - there is a counter at eclipse entrance. Is opposite L'occitane, situated at 1st flr.
Mid Valley - inside metrojaya, cosmetic floor, situated at grd flr.
1 U - new wings, near to Parkson, cant remember which floor is it.

jinyee,

i'm 19 now and i have been dealing with my acne for years... but none of the products really work for me... i have a combination and sensitive skin... oily at the t-zone and a little dry at the cheeks... i always have acne breakout nearly every weeks... and i also have blackheads problem... currently, i'm using st.ives apricot face wash for oily/acne prone skin... but, it's kind of too dry for me... and i'm planning to change to cetaphil... but, it seems like it's a bit difficult to find cetaphil's product at my place... do you have any other recommendation??

I bought the mosturizing CREAM instead of the lotion..... how arr..... it cost RM41.50!! so expensive!! The only got the cream.. will it work as well?

can keep the panoxyl in the fridge? coz the manual written there <25 celcius

Wowee...maybe u need a suntan . You can get PanOxyl at Guardian anyway.

For those who has more oily skin, I would certainly recommend the liquid neutrogena, but in the condition that you wash your skin ONLY once per day with that.Then, you apply the NOTS.

If your tinted moisturizer color fit to your skin color then its fine, because as you know that tinted one their color is limited. I think you just apply a thin layer of the normal moisturizer, then apply the foundation. Make sure the foundation is labelled as non-comedogenic!

You don't actually have to us st.ives apricot cleanser because it will cause irritation on certain people and on the other hand, its drying.

You could find Cetaphil in Guardian and Vitacare. I would advise those who wanted to start using it to buy a small size one rather than straight away going to the biggest size one.

ok... now, i'm starting to use cetaphil gentle cleanser and the moisturizer... and my dermatologist actually gave me tretinon... so, should i apply tretinon before moisturizer of after?

has anyone tried the cellnique skin action sebum gel? i've read pretty good reviews about it but i'm still a bit apprehensive.

sweet lhh, the aesop one u recommended should be used as a spot treatment? does it work for blackheads and whiteheads?

If you were not using NOTS, its ok for you to use trenitoin. However, you should make sure that you moisturize your skin well cause it gonna cause dryness.

Hi Jinyee, thanks for your input.

Hi all, any recommended liquid foundation for acne skin? How about Avene Liquid foundation?

I think everyone know that MAKE UP clog pores. Acne Skin should not apply any make up. Even the most mild foundation is also not recommended for problematic skin.

Try to treat skin well, u will have pimples free skin soon. And u don't need make up to cover up.

Im following the regime for about 1 week now... my face is less oily edy... really can see the difference it makes... there are signs of peeling and dryness altho i moisturise with cetaphile cream moisturiser. I guess its just normal.... =)

Thanks Jin Yee~!!!

U use NOTS or Panocylc??

less oil is true .. but my skin becomes rough .. now i only use the acnegel on certain spot..

which one is better actually? for the ppl who try both panoxyle and nots b4, can gv any feedback? coz my nots is going to expired soon and without other choice i maybe swith to panoxyl.
