definitely of course the scarring is much more minimal. the scarring will take longer to fade if u r in the sun a lot without sunscreen.

Also depends on the severity of your acne n ur overall skin health.

The way u take care of ur face also plays a role. If u use proper products them the scarring will be less severe.

The type of acne medication u apply also is a factor. Benzoyl peroxide is very effective against acne but tends to leave dark marks after the pimple has subsided.

which one u using ?

both seem to be more for calming the pimple rather than treating it.

Kiehl's Dermatologist Solutions has a pretty good pimple cream. but it's pretty pricey...RM110 for 30ml. if its within ur budget u can try that. there r cheaper equivalent products at pharmacies but the finish is horrible...sticky n shiny. Kiehl's when dry is non sticky n shiny..dats y i recommend it.

U could try Garnier or Clean and Clear. But they r mostly effective for less serious acne.

So far I find Benzoyl Peroxide to be the most effective over the counter acne medication.

yup. but I think Panoxyl is better.

Benzac AC 5 is around RM9-10 (depending on discount). but the tiub is small...only 15ml. Panoxyl 5% is around RM17-18 but comes in a larger 40ml tube so it's more economical. If u haven't use benzoyl peroxide (BP) gel/creams b4 i suggest u start at 2.5% concentration of BP first. However for some reason 2.5% BP is damm hard to get. stock at pharmacies r usually 5% or 10%.

LYN Stuff for Ladies got one seller which can get Panoxyl 2.5% for RM17/18 for a 40ml tube.

yup if u can locate one. if u do see some at a pharmacy, buy a few. any extra u can sell it here LOL.

if u do use Panoxyl or any type of benzoyl peroxide medication, u must use a moisturizer after applying it. It's pretty strong but works fast on pimples.

The Care Gel is not listed in the website. as long as it contains ingredients like glycerin and not mineral oil den i think it should be good enuf.

u referring to applying the moisturizer or Panoxyl ? 

Cleanser as long as doesn't contain sodium laureth sulfate shud be fine. try getting one for normal skin coz the ones for oily skin can be too drying. brands will advertise that their cleanser contains this n that to help skin but most of the time it ain't of much use coz cleanser stays on face for 1 minute or less.

When it comes to toners it really depends on your skin type. I got oily skin so i prefer a toner/astringent with alcohol. Nowadays in the daytime I after cleansing I use Shiseido Men Toning Lotion, then acne cream n finish off with Shiseido Anessa Sunscreen. Surprisingly my skin is not dry at all. A lot of ppl will tell u to use moisturizer but really depends on your skin. I tried many moisturizers and most of the time they will make my face slightly oilier when I apply in the daytime. that's y decided to skip moisturizer in the daytime.

But if ur skin is the drier type den u shud use a hydrating toner n a moisturizer in the daytime. there is no steadfast rule tho and u can mix n match according to your skin.

alright but I do recommend u use a good sunscreen in the daytime after cleansing.

Uses only soap, but when u compare him with some guys his age with proper care, they look younger. Care is important. without care and sun prevention, bye bye la, wont die, but jz look like uncle lor.

alright your choice.
