I've tried the Neutrogena moisturizer b4 and hated it...it just feels weird on the face.

A hydrating toner like Shiseido Men Hydrating Lotion or Biotherm Homme Aquapower should be ok. It really depends on your budget.

Okay thanks alot brah .

how about himalaya products? anyone tried it before? any solution for heat rash at face? thx.

I've tried the Neem Face Pack and A-N-P Cream.

Neem Face Pack is alright but the texture of the mask is rough so it can be a little painful when applying. Some ppl complained about the smell but I think it smells nice. It did help with the pimples a bit but TBH I still prefer normal clay masks.

A-N-P cream is just horrible. IT didn't really help with the pimples and worse of all is the texture. It really feels like u r applying anti-perspirant to the face. Very hard to wash off too and makes the face tacky.

For the heat rash u could try Avene Thermal Spring Water Spray. It's quite good in soothing the face.

i'm currently using garnier oil control foam wash and the turbo light oil control moisturiser.
Would it be fine if i just get a loreal pure and matte pore minimising toner? would it fit in fine?
And what about the toners fr Himalaya or Nivea? Anyone tried it before?

It seem to have oily skin indoors and outdoors, but there are times that my skin are super dry when indoors. i spend most of my daytime indoors. Am also prone to acne.

Thanks

Anyone can recommend me a good scrub to diminish scar?

Biotherm Homme Facial Exfoliator

How far apart are the prices for Laneige and Biotherm Homme?

Plan to try one of this once my Shiseido completes

On average Biotherm Homme is RM30-40 more expensive than Laneige Homme. Quantity wise Laneige Homme has the advantage as their products are 30-50ml more than Biotherm Homme. This was one of the main reasons why I switched to Laneige Homme. But after 4-5 months of use I didn't see much difference so I switched back to Biotherm Homme. I am more than satisfied with the Biotherm Homme products I am using.

I've been using the Biotherm Homme Facial Exfoliator for a couple of months now. Mild enough for my skin so it's all good.

I'm not totally convinced about their moisturizer though. I'm currently using their T-Pur Intense Extra-Matifying Moisturizing Fresh Gel. Very expensive. It is even more expensive than the Shiseido Men Moisturizing Emulsion.

I find the moisturizer price to be cheaper compared to other oil control moisturizers fr Lab Series and Clinique. While the others usually come in 50ml, Biotherm's comes in 75ml.

Wow face care products are pretty expensive huh

definitely...its a billion dollar business

cheap or expensive doesn't matter as long as it works

How much do u spend a month?

Not much coz the products i use can last quite long as I use only a little bit. But if im trying out a new range of products the bill can go up to RM300-RM400.

Im goin NS next month.huhuhu...T.T I doubt my sunplay sunscreen is strong enough.Any recommendation on other good sunscreen which is water/sweat proof and offer high protection for long hours?

Sunplay is good enough...as long as its indicated SPF50+, sweat and water resistant it should be fine.

1st thing to do is STOP pinching/squeezing the pimples. I made the mistake when I was your age and it just made things worse...now I got to live with the scarring.

Looks like u tried a lot of things...be patient and give the pimple medication 2-3 months to work...there is no miracle medicine for acne that works overnight or within a week. Try using something with benzoyl peroxide...2.5% first and move up to 5% if it isn't effective. Don't use 10%. try following jinyee's regime. Her Acne thread is on the LYN women's board.

Lastly just be patient...u r just 17 and its very normal to get pimples. I had very oily skin when I was your age and 10 yrs later my skin has matured a bit and less oily..I still get pimples but with proper care and a good face care regime, mine is under control.

thanks! but any recommendations for the products , brands and all , or should i just follow jinyee's recommended products?

i need products for facial cleansers + moisturisers
