bath soap is a big no-no because:

- it strips all the oil from your face, thus making the gland produce more oil. so your face got oilier.
- bath soap is alkaline, while the face pH value is acidic. important if you want to have healthy skin.

biore and clean & clear caused me to have breakouts.

based on personal experience i would suggest cetaphil. it's not available everywhere, you can only get it at guardian pharmacy, but it works. the downside to it is that at rm31 a tube, it's quite pricey.

now im using eversoft cleanser, cheap at rm13 and so far it works well (altho am thinking of switching) was using olay total effect cleanser a while back but was told that it contains alcohol that actually dries up skin and thus makes your skin much more oilier, which is true from experience.

some advice from my female friends that i (try to) follow: if you find a product that works for you, keep using it even if it's expensive. switching brand usually just wreaks havoc on your face.
