Try Simple Hydrating Light Moisturizer http://simpleskincare.my/hydrating-light-moisturiser.php

It's a very basic moisturizer. I'm not sure of the price but should be within your budget. U can get it at any pharmacy.

hey guys, any recommendations for dark eye circles? preferably one used at night.

working in front of the computer too much lately .

i use the saloon one but am a really lz person bought a lot but nvr used at all!

(not sure which section to post this topic)

any guys who have had skin problems, and also sensitive to many products out there,can recommend a COMPLETE men's skincare line (like sothys, thalgo, clinic, kose, etc.. etc..) ?

me have problems with blemishes, uneven skintone, dark puffy eyebags. Hope to find ONE skincare line (few products from same brand) that does all - protection, anti-aging, skintone (not whitening), eyes, blackheads, blemishes for sensitive skin.

thanks in advance

use neutrogena

is the mentholathum OXY series any good ? at the moment im using their acne killing gel and also trying the free sample of face wash..

I don't think the Holy Grail of skincare brands exists. U just got to read reviews, look at ingredients and what they do and experiment to see what works and what doesn't.

Added on September 19, 2010, 11:06 pmThe OXY pimple medication with benzoyl peroxide should be good for light to moderate acne. But it really dires out the skin so after u apply the medication wait 10-15 mins n apply an oil free moisturizer. The face wash should be alright for oily skin but if u got drier skin then u got to watch out as its kinda harsh. Ingredients wise the face wash is real simple and doesn't really do much in controlling oil or treating pimples.

Added on September 19, 2010, 11:10 pmNIA24 is highly raved about on forums and blogs due to its high percentage of niacinamide in its products. I have not come across NIA24 over here but even if its available it's going to cost a bomb. U can try the Olay Regenerist line as a cheaper substitute for NIA24. Regenerist products also contain a considerable amount of niacinamide...of coz lower than NIA24.

What is the active ingredient in the Acne Away gel ?

Minor pimple marks will fade away naturally but it takes a long time. Try using a stable vitamin c serum in the day and apply a good sunscreen on top. In the night use a retinol product. The combo of these 2 things will help to fade your acne scars gradually over a period of a few months.

ingredients : Delonized Water..Glycerin...Mineral oil...Sodium Acrylate..Sodium acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer...Isohexadecane...Polysorbate 80...Thanakha (Limonia Acidissima) Extract...Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Extract...Lythrum Salicarla Extract Prunella Vulgaris Leaf Extract...Oldenlandia Diffusa extract Licorice (Glycyrrhiza Glara) Extract...Biotin...Phenoxyethanol...Triclosan...Salicylic Acid...Vinegar...Allantoin...Fragrance...Triethanolamine...Methyparaben...Propylparaben...Menthol...Methylisothiazolinone..

Type this according to the ingredients at the acne gel box..sorry if it look confusing
should i continue applying this product to my red mark spot and those new pimple tat keep coming out

Unfortunately face washes don't help much in controlling oil. In fact many of those face washes that promise to control oil instead are really harsh n dries out the face and as a result more oil is produced. I've tried loads of oil control foams, gels and washes over the years.

As for treating acne, the face wash is on the face for probably at most a minute and then it's washed off. They can put 100 premium ingredients and it do much good LOL. Concentrate on specific acne gels n creams to treat the pimples.

Better 4 u to look at oil control moisturizers or mattifying sunscreens to reduce oil/shine.

Added on September 22, 2010, 4:16 pmIt's supposedly very beneficial to skin at certain amounts and even helps with acne. Some ppl on other blogs and forums consider it to be some kind of miracle for skin. I did use the Olay Regenerist Serum for a few months and did notice some improvement to my skin but I stopped using it because I couldn't take the fragrance in the serum. I don't think there are any particular side effects if correct concentration is used. But skin is subjective so always patch test first.

Make sure u use sunscreen if u r using an AHA product. AHA is a chemical exfoliator and makes the skin more receptive to sun damage.

Added on September 22, 2010, 4:23 pmLooks like a good combo of ingredients but the inclusion of mineral oil is strange. Mineral oil is known to clog pores n acne. It's 3rd on the ingredient list too which means there is quite a high concentration of mineral oil in the product. That probably explains why u getting new pimples. Other ingredients are natural but of unknown concentrations so they might or might not be of benefit to soothe/treat acne. Salicylic acid is good for treating acne n clogged pores but once again the concentration is unknown...i reckon it's probably 0.5%.

hi guys, anyone can recommend me a product which can help to reduce pore size?
i found that my pores are big, especially nose area, big pore and oily...
thanks

Products that contain a lot of sillica powder and silicones can help reduce pore size but its only a temporary measure. There isn't much u can do to reduce the pore size permanently. I normally use Biore sunscreen/Shiseido Men Anti Shine Refresher to hide pores in the day. U can try buying those oil absorbing blotters (Gatsby). Once the excess oil is absorbed the pores will look less obvious n smaller.

hmm....
i used to tried nivea and loreal paris men oil control cleanser and moisturiser, mud mask, oil purifier product, all seems not effective to me...
forehead and nose are most oily...i use gastby oil clear sheet too....

Most of the men face products at pharmacies are quite crap tbh. Harsh ingredients and empty promises mostly.

I have spent hundreds of $$$ on oil control products and the best one I have used is Biore UV Perfect Face Milk SPF50 sunscreen. It controls oil n shine like no other. It's quite cheap too.

I want to buang bulu roma from face?how? use Veet facial wax can meh?

Why don't u test n let us know..
