u can skip using a moisturizer in d daytime. i used to do d whole 3 step thing night n day n moisturizer in d daytime just makes my face shiny n sticky. i have tried close to 20 diff types of moisturizer fr brands like Clinique, Shiseido, Clarins n etc. instead i use a toner with hydrating benefits n finish off with sunscreen. i use a moisturizer only at night.

so for malaysian weather a sunscreen would be more important than a moisturizer in d daytime. but this is if ur skin is oily maybe even combo oily. if ur skin is dry den do use a moisturizer. u try applying moisturizer only on dry patches instead of all over.

FYI the clinique DDMG comes in 2 sizes. 50ml is around RM80-90. 125ml RM145-150. i can't remeber d exact price as its been a few yrs since i bought a tube. Clinique Skin Supplies for Men M Gel Lotion (100ml)is d exact same thing as DDMG but comes in a diff looking tube.

I have oily skin n the SA told me d same thing about DDMG. for a bout 2 hrs it feels nice on skin but by d 3 hr mark it tends to make my face sticky prob due to humidity. most moisturizers end up like that for me. even those that claim to control oil n shine. dats y i stopped using moisturizer in d daytime.

I use these basic steps:

-wash my face with lukewarm water ( it opens up your pores)
-gently using cleanser on my face ( i use clean n clear as it is the mildest on face, doesn't harm like other products)
- wash your face with normal water as it will close the pores
- pat dry
- Don't forget to moisturize with a good moisturizer ( i use Loreal for Men Moisturizer)
-If u are dealing outside with the sun, do use sunblock, at least SPF 15 to protect from the harmful rays
- take omega 3,6,9 supplements everyday, it improves your skin from the inside out
- take zinc tabs at least 3 times a week, some doctors recommend it, no harm trying

P/S: My skin is quite clear from pimples, i do get breakouts once a while but with the proper care i have listed, it goes away with minimal marks Hope it helps!!

How abt Dr Brandt?? ever tried it??
Clinique is a gd brand...maybe, but some of my friend claim tat it just so-so, or not really satisfied  for the result....haha...
so wat the best moisturiser u ever used???

I have not tried Dr Brandt b4.

I used the Clinique 3 Step for a year n didn't notice any improvements in my skin. The whole 3 step is pretty in terms "old fashiopned" of ingredients compared to other brands. but the higher end Clinique stuff contain good ingredients.

best moisturizer would be Clarins Men Anti Shine Gel. does help mask d shine well n moisturizes very nicely too. also helps with acne. unfortunately d local clarins distributor has stopped bringing in d Anti Shine Gel. but its still available overseas. but one thing i dislike about it is d fragrance. very strong n can last half a day. expensive too...RM 145 for 50ml.

if u looking for a product to mask shine n cover pores i recommend u try d Shiseido Men Anti Shine Refresher Gel. This one can mask pores n shine for a good 6 hrs in malaysian humidity n heat. i have not used anything as effective as this. unfortunately Shiseido has stopped producing this product but u stil can get it online. this is not a moisturizer tho n can be drying if used all over d face. RM135 for 30ml.

I am planning to do some facial treatment. Anyone had experience with Dermalogica? how about their prices/fees?

icic.....maybe i will just go for dr brant since im have really finished my last drop of clarin moisturiser...ahhha...
any idea abt origin or aesop?? actually im prefer some natural or even organic product...ahha...
currently im using Stems' milk cleanser and toner, dont noe if u heard it b4...ahha

read some reviews 1st... makeupalley would b d best source.

I have only tried d clay masks fr Origins n Aesop. Origins Out of Trouble mask is pretty good. doesn't harden up n dry out skin like regular clay masks but still manages to make pores look smaller temporarily.

Aesop clay mask was good too n would be my 1st choice but the price is insane. RM100+ i think for less than 50ml of product.

havent heard of d brand Stems.

icic...haha
sound like u quite familiar with the facial product...ahha
where u stay? in KL area??

haha yea used to like trying new products. but stopped already coz its too expensive.

im fr PJ.

i was checking out Dr Brandt website n their products look interesting. how r d prices like locally ?

for moisturiser is around 219..according for wat they recommend to me...ntg much different from the other counter brand...
but it can use for ard 5 months...so im think it quite worth it lol....
cos i have big pores around my nose....so may give it a try lol...

219 is damm expensive. about RM100 more den average counter moisturizers.

how about d "blemishes no more intensolution"...any idea about d price ?

The blackhead is caused by dust and oily sebum. You try make more lather with your facial wash and gently rub it on your face like making many circles from forehead > nose > chin > mouth > eyes.

If you still find it not clean enough, you can use facial scrub to clear the pores if you find your facial wash is not able to clean the pores well. Or just change your facial wash which have deep cleanse effect.

Bro, dont scrub on ur pimple face, it will make it even worse!!! For the blackhead, do scrub 1 or 2 / week, and then use the deep cleansing mask to remove the impurity.....and of course...nid maintain ur face stay clean always...

thx for the tips
but is there any product that can clear blackhead without make it like my face pore are enlargen.
