So what is this holy grail product that works for u and works for the rest of the human race ?

Clinique acne cleanser is quite good but finishes really fast. Not really worth the money. The toner is very harsh and so is the moisturizer. Why not just use oil free products and incoporate a good acne cream/gel instead.

Kiehl's Blue Herbal range is slightly better than Clinique's but stay away from the Blue toner. The cleanser and moisturizer from the same range are not bad.

RM100?
...Paula's Choice costs RM70-80, Anessa sunscreen RM110...

Added on January 19, 2011, 11:41 pmLike the other guy suggested, a twice a week clay mask and BHA products will help. If u on a budget try Garnier Pure, Neutrogena or L'Oreal Men products...they do contain some amounts of salicylic acid (BHA) that might help. for the occasional pimple u could try using a benzoyl peroxide gel/cream at night. Use a mattifying Japanese sunscreen from Sunplay or Biore during the day. But make sure u use cleanisng oil to remove. Don't forget to use a light moisturizer as acne products and mattifying sunscreens are drying.

Right

Ur gf dun mind using guy products ?

Yes it's applied after face wash. Apply the BHA, give it a few minutes to dry then apply your moisturizer/sunscreen or both.

Right

Most biotherm counters have the T Pur promo set but a few counters have run out of stock. Bought mine from Jusco Midvalley counter. I think there are a few more there...but I could be wrong.

But if u meant regular T Pur products then all counters will have.

The Regenerist line is the cheapest available.
It's by Olay BTW.

The moisturizer or the anti mark roll on pen thingie ?


I bought the anti mark roll on pen a few months back and found it to be extremely sticky and shiny...like I just applied glue all over my face.

It may seem brighter because of a thin layer of clay remains on the skin after u wash it off. Also clay soothes n calms the skin...giving the appearance of brighter/fairer skin.

U can get benzoyl peroxide 2.5% at pharmacies like Watson, Caring n Guardian. But 2.5% is quite rare at times and its mostly 5% available. Affordable brands are Benzac, Panoxyl and OXY. However I noticed that Panoxyl has been taken off the shelves and almost impossible to find. I was told by a pharmacist that Panoxyl is only available through special order. U could try Benzac as it is better than Panoxyl (thru personal exp). Benzoyl peroxide bleaches clothes n hair...best apply it only at night.

Yup the procedure u listed is right. I do the same thing but recently I been skipping moisturizer n I just cleanse, apply hydrating toner and then apply Benzac. I believe applying moisturizer dilutes the acne medication, making less effective. But most important is u got to get a procedure that suits your skin.

What's your budget for toner n moisturizer ?

I've not used many hydrating toners but the one I use now at night is called Shiseido Men Hydrating Lotion. It's really good at calming the skin down and soothing it with a little moisture. It costs RM130 for 150ml but only a little is needed per application. I used to use it in the daytime but found it to be a little sticky for my oily skin. Should be no prob for night time.

A good moisturizer is probably the Biotherm Homme Aquapower...light but moisturizing...costs RM140 for 75ml. I use it only at night...I've given up using moisturizers in the daytime.

Both bout the same. Biotherm is a bit more moisturizing n heavier compared to Biotherm Homme. I might be wrong but Biotherm Homme is also slightly cheaper per ml.

Prob with the pharmacy stuff is that the BHA concentration is not indicated. Try asking the pharmacist.

Paula's Choice has a local distributor. Go look at the msian website.

btw, the gel is similar to the liquid.

but if u still want to get the liquid call the msian distributor.

I've got 2 30ml bottles of the Moisturizing Emulsion and I been using it 4 de last 2 weeks as a daytime moisturizer. I agree it's light but somehow it makes my face shiny. I don't find it greasy and it hasn't caused any breakouts. Even when I use a small peanut size amount it still makes my face shiny.

How much do u use ?
