great tips and i'm doing the same which i feel i really full utilize it.
Normally can stand to a week application depends on the texture of the cleanser or cream.

especially if u r using one of those high end cleansers that cost more than RM100.

hi guys, 1st time posting here.

My problem is my skin is too oily all over my face i mean REALLY OILY. And my pores are very visible. Although pimples dont come out too often(like 1 or 2 every 2 weeks), but oily skin is too stressful to handle.

I tried reading from the 1st page of this thread but as time progress, more and more newer products are being brought up and i cannot make up mind. Can any of u suggest to me a good skin care product to overcome my problem? Thx.

P/s : My fren's joke on me " lend me some oil from your face, i want to fry eggs"

wat type of face care products do u use currently ?

specifically.

tried a bunch. nivea, loreal, biore...

some of these products worked well at 1st and after some time, my face started to have irritation especially at the side of the mouth like a reddish spot. so i stop using cleansers and only scrub my face then the irritation stops. Anyway these products could only stop the oil problem for about 4 hrs max. Is it because of the pores that are too big?

currently using loreal men expert.

sounds like your skin is oily n sensitive at d same time.

u def need to use a cleanser because your skin is oily. but after u cleanse try using some kind of hydrating lotion like hada labo super hyaluronic acid moisturizing lotion.

as 4 d oily skin there's nothing much u can do. its genetic. all u can do is manage d oil by using oil blotting sheets

can i get the lotion at any local pharmacies?

i have to be careful in choosing a cleanser. My irritation always occur after the usage of a cleanser after a few days. The worst one was brylcream face wash and nivea for men - oil control.

Myb i should see a skin specialist?

yup can get at any local pharmacy. but i think only Watsons and Guardian carry the brand.

u shud stay away from those oil control facial washes. especially those pharmacy brands. very harsh and drying. actually its almost a lie that face wash can control oil. u can try the hada labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Face Wash its mild but cleanses the face well enough.

if u wanna try Hada Labo try to keep a look out for starter packs or value sets. i have seen those b4.

full size face wash costs RM30+ for 125ml and the lotion around RM45-50 for 150ml.

Hi guys,

I have sensitive skin and am prone to pimple. Big round large ones that take alot of time to heal.

currently using olay oil control cleanser > Loreal pore matifying toner and then the olay balancing gel moisturiser.

The pimple will normally pop up once or twice a month.
For now, i'm running out of the loreal toner and i think they no longer produce it.
Can the hada labo lotion fit in what i currently use to replace the toner?

MK13 Facial Treatment

Please do not hesitate to email to me at wildonebiz@gmail.com for further clarification.

the hada labo lotion is very different fr the loreal toner u r using.

the hada labo lotion even tho sounds like a toner it doesn't provide any kind of mattifying, pore reduction or cleansing function. instead it hydrates the skin, contains no alcohol and is applied by patting with hands n not with a cotton pad. asian lotions r like this.

maybe 4 a month or so just don't use any kind of toner. IMO western type toners r a waste of money. just cleanse n den use your moisturizer. see if got improvement. u may wanna use some kind of topical acne med too.

Do you think it's right for me to cleanse, then use the hada labo lotion before i use my moisturiser?
Am using Dalacin T for my acne. Read mixed review bout it, especially long term. What do you think?

Thanks.

I would prefer if they could come out with a trial pack. To spend so much for the first try .....



i do agree that most face wash that can control oil are mostly lies and do not work at all. I think im gonna try out the hada labo. Thx for the advise.

anyway can u suggest to me a good diet for skin care? things to eat and not to?

Just wanted to ask is Natural Republic good? My face has pores and scars Currently using Loreal's men product. the 3 step 3 product

u could try the combo 1st. i read some reviews and some ppl get sufficient hydration n moisture fr using the hada labo lotion alone without moisturizer. u could use just the lotion in d daytime coz its light. and lotion + moisturizer at night. its all about matching the products to ur skin.

i have not used dalacin t b4. i only use benzoyl peroxide.

i've read that zinc supplements are good for acne prone skin.

i just take vitamin c daily.

milk n sugary foods cause breakouts in some ppl.

Eat a lot of zinc for the scar, use benzoyl peroxide. Can also use Mmeerma for the scar

what do you guys think about patrick bateman's morning routine?

Quote:
In the morning if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now.

After I remove the ice pack, I use a Deep Pore Cleanser Lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub.

(Out of the shower)

Then I apply an herb mint facial mask which I leave on for ten minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out, and makes you look older.

Then moisturiser, then an anti-ageing eye balm, followed by a final moisturising protective lotion.

sounds pretty intense.

not intense.

i do most of the steps. except d ice pack. body scrub n mask also not daily. n i like to use an aftershave with alcohol.

doesn't his routine make the face really dry? feels like too many products will ruin the skin.

not dry at all.

u gotta get d right products to suit ur skin type. d aftershave i use for ex contains good ingredients so i dun have to worry about it drying my face.
