I'm trying to find the Cetaphil moisturizer. Can't seem to find it in watsons(klcc) or guardian(klcc).

I can only find the product as shown in the I_Byran's photo. Which is the cleanser.

Anyone know where (in KL) i can get it?? Or anyone recomend an alternative moisturizer brand?? (Currently just started the regimen, using BP and Serbamed moisturizer)

Thanks.

Roaccutane will work but it also depends on individual whether it works soon or later. At the mean time, you should try to avoid direct contact with sunlight. Otherwise, you may stop roaccutane and start the regimen. I believe non exposure to sunlight in Malaysia will be very hard.

My advice - if you don't really have severe acne, you may consider to stop roaccutane.

Yes, this is because Panoxyl cleared the sebum around your facial area. Anyhow, your skin itself will build tendency towards BP and your skin will return to normal very soon.

You may only apply once per day, so in the daytime, you can easily make up!

You got the right thing. BRAVO! So you can start the regimen now!

Use only CETAPHIL cleanser + PanOxyl 2.5. Thats all. Other is no compulsory.


You can find it at VITACARE .

Dear Jinyee,

I have started using your regimen yesterday night. CETAPHIL cleanser + PanOxyl 2.5. This morning when i wash my face, my face apeared reddish on the area where i apply BP. is this normal and how long the reddish mark will disappear?

I have the same problem with u, hope it will disappear soon.
Very scary... but I trust wat Jin Yee says since many forumer here tried her regimen.
Gambate!!

This is the initial stage which a lot of people will face, but yet sceptical then quit. Be patient, the outcome will appear in at least 2.5 months.

Dear Jinyee,

Thanks for you advice so far. My skin has been improving thanks to you. But I have another question to ask.

What is your recommendation on SPF rating of a sunscreen we should use (Considering our Malaysian sun) ? I heard some ppl say SPF 15 enough, some say not enough need at least SPF 30. I am confused can you clarify this matter ?

And what you think about :

Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture SPF 15

and

Neutrogena Healthy Defence SPF 30 Daily Moisturizer

Which one you recommend ?

Pls advice

Thanx a million

So do I still need to continue applying BP on that area??

Is the red mark normal? see pic link.
I have to meet customer everyday and it kinda obvious. Really worry on this.
Is it the red mark will appear whenever apply? And why there red mark after apply?

Dear Jin Yee ,

I got problem with blackhead and oily skin especially nose and area around there I remove it, then it come back few days later......

JinYee got any advice or product to recommend ?

I seem to have these pimples on my forehead for quite some time and wont seem to go off...im one of those ppl who get pimple outbreaks once in a wihle..sometimes skin totally ok sometimes so many pimples.now its mainly my forehead...ive used nivea cleanser previously but its totally useless after sometime..last week,switched to garnier..is T3 reli effective?

The higher the SPF level, the more possibility for it to clog your pores. Anyhow, SPF 15 is already more than enough to guard your skin against direct sun light. Unless your nature of job required you to stand under the sun, otherwise SPF15 will do.


Yes, please.

Your skin is building its tendency to BP. It will get used to it within 1.5 months. You will see the improvement.

BP stands for Benzoyl Peroxide which is the core ingredient in PanOxyl and Neutrogena On-the-spot to help in preventing acne.

Please refer to the 1st and 2nd posts in this thread to get the application steps.


Start the regimen asap, it really helps!

T3 is not effective, because its using tea tree oil which claims is an antiseptic's property. The key point for preventing acne is to counter on the P.acne bacteria. That's it. So, my rationale is, prepare your skin well, mild and gentle way, then counter the root of the problem. Thats it, easy.

Occasional outbreak is normal. So, don't feel too bad on it!

Thx Jinyee, will follow ur regimen and will update the progress.

I have started to use Cetaphil oily skin cleanser and pan oxyl 2.5 since chinese new year, now my skin looks better than ever. Thanks jinyee!

JinYee, the regimen you mean is cetaphil and BP? Cetapil is face cleanser and BP is?

BP stands for Benzoyl Peroxide which is included in the Panoxyl Acne Gel 2.5
