Usually, acne-prone skin is sensitive and not advised to use different substances frequently on it..Traditionally, Neem and turmeric used to avoid acne problems..you can give it a try.

Yes, still oily. My face is an oily type.
My current daily routine is wash my face with normal sink water, and wipe it with tissue paper as of now.

My face just got worsen 😔😔😔 I tried using oxy5 now. Many crystic acnessss

Wash how many times per Day?

There are some comments about acutane (tretinoin).
Take note this is prescription medicine.

And if you are female must take it very seriously.

This medicine had side effects of getting abnormal baby.

The effect may persist after stopping for 1yrs or so.

I took this medication but I am a male. Less side effect. The results is good. Initially it become worst then getting better.

Whenever I felt my face oily? lol, but to be exact, perhaps 3 times in a day. Before lunch, evening and before sleep

Yes correct. I took the lowest dosage that time.
Read few side effect of it which is loss of hair, and your lips will be continuos dry.

Isn’t it causing your face over dry?

What facial cleanser you use?

Yea, it's not a good idea to wash too frequently unless you're using a moisturizing wash.

Your skin over produced oil to protect itself when it's dry. It's our body self-defense mechanism. So if you further strip down the oil that your skin, it'll produce more oil. Focus on moisturizing your skin, that's more important. Eventually your skin sebum production will normalize when it's not so dry. But of course don't expect, overnight results la.

like how long for the result to materialize?

Everyone's skin is different, that's why a lot of skin related question don't have a straight forward answer. What works for others, may not work for you & vice versa. Just understand your skin & its underlying problem first. Then be patience & disciplined on your road to recovery. A lot of people want instant results. Depending on the problem, give it roughly a month before you judge whether the solution worked or not.

Our cells need time to heal & grow too. Takkan telan meds today, sapu today or laser today, tomorrow terus can recover into flawless skin? As long as the underlying problem isn't treated, it'll keep on recurring. Plus, looking at the amount of wrong info circulating around here, really face palm

i think the root causes of my acne recurring is due to the one doc 4 steps laser treatment i went in the past few months. (i am not sure but i am suspecting).

my acne is quite terrible now, its super swollen with a few heads on the acne.. you can imagine that creepy....

Trying to make thing simple, just cleanser, toner and moisturiser, no more acne cream. because i think acne cream will dry down the skin, causing bacteria to clog.

I really hope things will be okay.. i feel pressure and depress seeing my acnes coming back......all the best with everyone facing the same issue as me... i know its not easy.

Yep, you are right on this.

Laser treatment normally only undergo after the acne has stopped right?

I used accutsne 10 years ago and it cleared my skin.

But acne still come back occasionally.. until I found the trigger one day. It was the condensed milk in coffee that I drink. Every time I drink coffee, acne will come out within hours. As long as I don’t eat or drink the trigger, I don’t get acne.

I think it’s not the product or pill that really matters. Find the trigger. If you have it everyday, there must be something in your daily life that cause it, food or lifestyle. And apparently dairy product is a common trigger. Try stop taking any dairy product for 2 weeks and see if acne stop popping. Mine definitely.

Yes.. my acne was under controlled until i went for laser treatment... breakout comes out badly....

mind sharing what laser treatment is that?

I underwent 4 times of their 4 steps laser treatment at one doc medical. It's basically a treatment to lessen your oil production and look more elastic. The first treatment I feel OK, but starting from second and so on, my face got deteriorated. However, I didn't realise until the 4th treatment, the beautician will normally advise us to do their 4 steps laser treatment first before doing the pico laser which is for scaring purpose. I think it's only suitable for people with smooth or less severe acnes. People like me who has cystic acne before, better don't try.. Will regret. I signed for their 5k package but didn't use now.

If you've had problems for very long, a natural solution like this might help. It's not so harsh on the skin so it if doesn't work at least it won't make things worse.

But the best is to see a dermatologist to really understand what is the problem. Especially if your skin has an allergy to chemicals then trying new products or expensive ones won't work if those products have that chemical.

TS, go search Bitreen Neem Capsule. i currently consuming it....wont solve your acne problem but can control it. My acne condition is much more worst and sometimes can grow into cyst. - -

You are lucky that you only define as sometimes, me most of the time pimples are all cystic 😢😢
