It depends on the type of sunscreen u use. Usually the American/European ones are easier to wash off and might not need to use cleansing oil.

Japanese/Asian sunscreens are water (sometimes sweat/sebum) proof and are extremely hard to remove compared to American/Euro ones. The other day I went fishing and it was really hot n humid at first followed by a thunderstorm...my Shiseido Anessa sunscreen I had on kept my face shine free and matte the whole 12 hrs I was out. Tap water just isn't going to wash it off...even a face cleanser. That's why cleansing oil is important.

Nowadays some American/Euro brands have tried copying Japanese sunscreens and are equally hard to remove. So to be on the safe side I recommend the use of a cleansing oil to remove any kind of sunscreen.

*Applies only for the face...u don't need to bother too much about removing body sunscreen properly. Just regular soap will be enough.

They will dry up your face but that can be solved by using a good moisturizer at night.

Should have sale now at pharmacies so go check out the big 3 (Guardian, Watsons and Caring) to get the best deals.

Dear All expert,

Just read thru the thread for the last 10 pages. Found out that, there is numerous solution for skincare.

Hope all bro dont mind to asnwer my question, if this is repeating question.
For pimples, seems everyone suggest benzoyl peroxide 2.5%, may i know where i can get this? Watsons?

Is this the correct procedure.

Wash the face with cleanser, after that apply the cream to pimples, after 10 min , then only apply moisturizer to prevent the skin from dry?
My skin is oily type, do i need to use hydrating toner?

Any suggested brand for moisturizer and hydrating toner?

Please advise.

Thanks

yes usually you wait for the toner to dry off only then you apply moisturizer. you can set your hair while waiting for your toner to dry

So the question is, which one causes the irritation?; the toner or the 2.5%? Is there such cases like a toner allergy?

I've experimented by applying one at a time and the result is the same - reddish itchy spots. maybe the brand?   

gxxrdians currently having a great promo for avene thermal water 300ml , buy 2 n get 2 for free...damn worth it!!
i use it to replace my toner..no longer using exp toner/moisturizer.
