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

jinyee,
How effective is the usage of calamine lotion + 2% sulphur , then using combination with isotetrinoin cream?

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..

Well, T3 is crap. Although they claimed that Tea Tree Oil is an antiseptic agent, but it might cause irritation to the skin, which might cause MORE acne. FYI, most active ingredients that T3 included in their formula is TRICLOSAN. Please check at the T3 product that you used, whether did this word appear in the ingredient list. In long term, P.acne will develop immunity towards triclosan, which it will be inactive in preventing acne.

Please have a look on the T3 product that you use and update me. Thanks!

As my word of wisdom : MILD and PATIENT.

*Use mild cleanser is MOST important, you don't need any active ingredient in the cleanser, as long as it can help you to cleanse your skin effectively, then leave the 'acne preventing and eliminating' job to the OTC skin product - which is Benzoyl Peroxide that I always stressed on.

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

In this case, it means that your nose's pores were clogged since long time ago and it really require massive cleansing job to be done. Try to get cleansing oil and rub gently on your nose. It will gradually dispose off the residue in your pores.

Recommended cleansing oil :

1. Shu uemura cleansing oil

2. Pure and Mild pore clean up oil

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.
