Hi ..

I also unable to find benzac 2.5. Most of the store is selling benzac 5. As per adviced by TS, i try to find it at Caring Pharmacy but they did not have it. Any other BP products other than that?

For Cetaphil and neutrogena moisturizer, i already bought it.

Can I actually use benzac 5 for the regime? is there any differences between benzac 5 and benzac 2.5 if i use benzac 5?

update: i just applied benzac 5 (just for testing) and leave it dry about 20 minutes, but when i apply the neutrogena moisturizer, it will mix with the benzac. Which mean the benzac will get out from the acne place . So it is all over my face now. Is it normal?

update 2: i googled and find out that AA pharmacy is quite nearby at my place. so i might trying to ask them about the availablity.

Hi jinyee80 ,

at night, i put benzac at my acne area. Then from your post, you advice to put also moisturizer. The problem is, whenever i put moisturizer and rub it at my face, it will mix with the benzac. Hence, the benzac is kinda everywhere over my face. Is that the correct way to apply moisturizer on top of benzac? Or I should pat pat pat the moisturizer at my face?

One more question, how to reduce acne marks / scar? I read few review about Hiruscar Post Acne and seems it works wonderful with the acne marks (redness dot dot dot). What is your opinion about it?

Acne marks that i am referring is to yang ada tompok2 acne marks tu. Not the parut yg takde dot dot merah (had to type in bahasa malaysia to easily explain). hehe

thanks!

(1) Once you apply BP, you allow it to dry before you apply moisturizer. Moisturizer only applies if you stay in air-cond area most of the time, otherwise you could skip this. Thin layer of moisturizer will do.

(2) Lets not talk about scar reduction before you could prevent new acne from forming. We have so many scar healing ointment/creams/lotion out there but some may aggravate acne. As long as its not the ice-pick scars, it kind of easier to deal with.

Thanks.
