Depends on the severity of the acne. T3 should help those small ones but for the bigger ones OXY would be more effective. My main complaint about T3 is that I doubt the concentration of tea tree oil is high enough to fight pimples. Facial washes don't do much for pimples so yeah u shud buy some kind of anti acne cream.

Oh allright then guess I should get one,OXY 5 or OXY 10?Mine isn't that serious smile.gif

It's actually advisable to start with 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide first then go to a higher concentration if it isn't effective. However if u can't find 2.5%(any brand will do) then u just get the 5% one.

yeah correct and use a light moisturizer after that to ensure your skin doesn't get too dry.

Oh ya I forget to mention that u gotta let the acne cream dry for 10-15 mins b4 applying moisturizer. Some of the acne cream will get wiped off but as long as u let it dry and adsorb into the skin, it should be alright.

Hey jonny,

I find myself using moisturizer after acne cream will only worsen things.

Usually I apply moisturizer after I apply PanOxyl but these few days
I was a lil bit busy so I just apply PanOxyl and go to bed without applying moisturizer.

The next day I find myself have smaller pores and lesser acne...

But then I continued without using moisturizer for a few days,
my face really gets better looking in term which is lesser acne
but I have very dry face...

What should I do?

Guys, I want to know.

I don't have any break out anymore. But I do have uneven skin tone and pimple scars. I want to know if there is any different using off the counter product (nivea, loreal, garnier) with product such as biotherm and clinique for men. Is it much better?

I want to see improvement, even if it just a little bit. And if IT (biotherm, clinique) is better, where should I go to buy that product? In places like parkson or Isetan? Does the promoter really know what they are selling or just sales talk? Really appreciate the help. Thanks.

What moisturizer did u use ?

You can try using a milder face wash and a hydrating toner before applying the Panoxyl. It might seem better without moisturizer for a short period but in the long term it could cause bad redness and dryness.

Depends on your skin...I've tried quite a few lower end products (Garnier, L'oreal n etc) and most of the time the products were not well formulated and I didn't see any noticeable results. So probably the higher end products (Clinique, Biotherm) work better for me.

I do feel however when it comes to whitening and getting rid of scars and marks, the most important thing is the concentration of ingredients. U could try the Vichy Bi-White Reveal Double Corrective Whitening Essence. It's a highly concentrated serum with good amounts of vitamin c that lightens scars and evens out skin tone. It's RM160 for 30ml...u don't need a lot so 30ml can last a few months plus u only need to use once a day. Also try using a sunscreen in the day so that the vitamin c won't deteriorate and the scars won't get darker. Nowadays I use a sunscreen daily and my pimple scars are fading fast.

It's usually sales talk but also depends on the SA. Some are really experienced and can help u a lot while others r really blur and will only recommend u one range even though your skin ain't suited for it.

I'm currently using Biotherm T Pur and Aquapower range and the I can see the results after just a week.

I've not used BB cream before and I don't intend to.

Recently I tried a few samples of the Biotherm Homme Aquapower Cleansing Gel and it's really good IMO. Just a small amount and it produces thick foam...I've even used it as shaving foam. Expensive though, 125ml for RM90 but it will last a long time as only a small amount is needed every wash. I hear the Biotherm Homme Facial Exfoliator is quite good too.

Laneige cleansers are good too but I probably got tired of the scent so that's why I didn't repurchase.

Guardian, Watsons and Caring all carry Vichy products. But only the bigger outlets (usually at shopping malls) will carry the full range of Vichy products. The smaller outlets usually have sample packs that costs around RM34.

I'm using Neutrogena one, as recommended on the thread Acne.
What toner would be helpful?
