Hi, I am 28 years old and i have acne problem for almost 10 years. Recently my acne are coming back very actively..

Can people with severe active acne go for beauty facial? Will this help me to clean my face?

To be honest, i am a little hesitate because beauty shop's workers are not doctors...

But the problem is i have visited so many doctors and my face is still deteriorating.

Hi TS, I had the same problem with you last time.
I am 25 years old now.

Tried alot medicine too last time, but nothing works.
Visitied Dr Ting @ Jalan Imbi. First visit to be checked by doctor.
Subsequent 2nd and 3rd visit, just walk in to buy the medicine to be eat and the skincare lotion.

Medicine around RM150 and skincard around RM10 per bottle. Price might be increased now as I didn't went there for 1 year plus.
Hope it helps.

May I know what kind of medicine did the doctor give you? It's hard for me to visit kl doctor as I'm not living there.. Dmyiu have severe acnes as well? May I know if you go for beauty facial? Thank you! You mean a lot to me

so your acne completely stopped?

is your face oily?

I forget what's the medicine called, but it a form of drug as well lol.
I take the lowest dosage, 10mg. Take 1 pill every day before sleep for consecutive 2 month, although during 1st month I saw my alot improvement already.

I used to go beauty facial, but not anymore.

Yes, the acne completely stop.
Yes as well. My face is oily.

woww interesting. oily face agak susah nak jage. dlu mase study naik terox jugak now dah keje jage makan jage tdo everything okay already. but sometimes naik jugak kalau tak jage makan or tdo. fap also boleh jadik jugak lol!

you can go to Guardian pharmacy (or any pharmacy) and ask pharmacist there for "tretinoin" cream, there's a few brands available, such as Retin A, Retachyl ... etc. It comes in 2 strength, 0.05% and 0.025%, I personally use 0.05% (depends on skin sensitivity)

use everyday at night after shower, I personally mix it with moisturizer and apply on face.

some ppl will advice use 3 months then stop for a while and continue, but I personally use it everyday.


trust me, tretinoin is the most effective solution for acne that currently available, sometimes it does cause skin to peel but just endure it and it will fix the acne problem in no time.

of course the best is still get advise from dermatologist.


*remember pregnant women cannot use this cream.

i think what the doctor given is acutane, a type of "tretinoin", which is proven very effective on acne and oily skin.

however this oral tretinoin is being monitor strictly, so doctor will consider first b4 give to patients, especially women. (pregnant women cannot take this medicine)

another alternative is apply tretinoin cream, it is a bit less effective but also less harm and less side effect.

you can go to any pharmacy to buy low dosage tretinoin cream, around rm 40 - rm60

when i check this tretinoin cream there's a lot of brands. could you please suggest any good brands? or anyone using any?

for me any brands also having the same ingredients, just pick the one you like (or cheapest)

but usually there are 2 strength, 0.05% and 0.025%, choose base on your condition and skin sensitivity.

i personally use 0.05%.

okay thanks boss.

i see. i guess its roaccutane. Not going beauty facial is because you no longer have any breakouts or it worsen your face?

I am planning to have a try but i am a bit hesitate. Thats why i am asking for opinion first. haha

Tretinoin is a type of cream right? its not antibiotics like roaccutane? So it works on your crsytic ance? You only apply on your acne or the entire face? Since this cream is so strong. i guess its similar to OXY10.

I am currently using differin gel which has Adapalene of 0.1%.

tretinoin is a cream, it is very similar to adapalene but stronger (and more effective also).

I apply tretinoin on my entire face before I sleep. I believe it works on cystic acne (but I'm not medical expert)

I have tried both and I switch to tretinoin because personally I felt tretinoin works best for me.

Of course if adapalene also work for you then no need switch, because tretinoin and adapelene are both retinol.


the roaccutane you speaking is oral tretinoin and it's much stronger, that one must be prescribe by doctor and cannot get from pharmacy.

So your face still oily?

You are roaccutane is it?

Had the same problem. Been fighting with acne for about 10 years.

I believe it's because of my genes & hormones bcus my sister had the same problem. But mine is so much worse. I dont even wear any makeups!

Skincare that Ive tried: Low range to high class product nothing seems to solve the problem completely (SKII, Himalaya, Kiehls, & u name it)

Treatments that Ive tried: Medication from Klinik Dr Noh, Facial & Medication from Klinik Dr Ko

The Facial & Medication from Klinik Dr Ko shows the best result although still not eradicate the whole problem

But after I stopped the Facial & Medication, the problem comes back

Honestly, I'm exhausted from all of the time and money spent to fight my acne problem. So far all are temporary solutions. Cause the problem is in the gene and hormones.

Now, I'm trying to get pregnant. Which is even worse. I can't use almost every acne fighting medication.

Not looking for a solution. Just sharing my story. Just so exhausted.

Had a tough bout with Acne about 10years ago, fully recovered however the old scars are still there though fading as years go by. I still do get the random 1 off acne that will pop out after heavy rounds of chocolate/nuts but 1 acne is managable.

When i was suffering with cystic acne, visited a dermatologist in Klang. Old guy back then not sure if he is still practicing. Was prescribed some antibiotics to control the breakouts, a tretinoin like cream to be applied at night and acne-aid soap to be used for washing. The breakouts stopped within 3 months of the treatment.

Roccutane/Accutane is an isotretinoin.
Tretinoin is a retinoid.

Those are 2 completely different thing that works differently.

Don't freely suggest people to use those without properly explaining them & their usage. The side effects can be really nasty to the point you'd wish you have acne instead.
