I wished I had read all the pages of this thread before I used OXY 10 pimple medication, it ruined my face. There's a lot of drying, redness and bumps now. So yeah, careful guys..don't simply use it.

ya it seems that altho using oxy 10 will eventually heal the pimple, but then that area will have redness, not sure is it becuz of scar or bcuz of the strength of the oxy 10..

however altho I already switch to PanOxyl 2.5, I still like to use A BIT of oxy cover to "make up" my face to cover those redness/scar when I go out..  not sure whether this is advisable but if i don't use it i have lower confidence with visible red scar/spots on my face..

I'm the same as you man, oxy cover? I never seen this product before, how much does it cost?

Ever since i used Artistry product.. i did not ever visit to any facial salon

Where can I buy those products? share share~

QUOTE(jonny4 @ Apr 7 2011, 06:08 PM)
Nope.

My general impression is that those ppl working at facial centers r evil. They criticize, scold n insult u so that u will be inclined to buy more of their products or come 4 more facials. I got this impression fr de various blogs i read.

Haha you're right, I was just curious since a few of my friends who went for facials twice a month still has imperfect faces

Hi all,

Actually my face started to have this red patches and marks after the pimples were gone a few years ago, and I also had seriously dry skin problem back then too. I didn't know what it was, but I went to the pharmacist today, the girl said that there were pimple scars. I was quite shocked as I never touched those pimples before, how come got scars? Guys I need some advice please!

If it ain't too bad just leave it and it will go away on it's own.

I bet u dun use sunscreen thats y even after a few yrs the scars r still there. U can get many cheap light sunscreens from pharmacies.

Its not that bad, but the thing is, it already been there for 2 years. Yeah I don't use sunscreen, so what do I do now?

balance ph, control oil, soothe, hydrate n etc.

it ain't necessary. most important is sunscreen.

Sunscreen and sunblock is the same? I use the loreal(girl one) whitening moisturizing cream which provides SPF 17 protection. How come it is important? thanks

sunscreen usually uses chemical filters while sunblock uses mineral filters.both terms r usually interchangeable.

bro we live near the equator n the sunlight is intense all year round. SPF17 is useless. usually those moisturizers with sunscreen are a waste of money.

here's why:

Thanks for clarifying it for me dude. Do you have any good brands of sunscreen to recommend? And how often do you apply it, while you're going out only? I don't really use any sunblock/sunscreen when I go out cause its oily and noticeable, like my face will be very 'white' in the bad way, so looking for a brand that doesn't do that. I'm kinda tanned right now, regret not taking care of my face last time, plus been active in sports last few years, no solutions for me right? sad.gif

Are acne scars severe and permanent? Mine is not the serious type, just the ones that have red/black bumps / spots. Hope it's not gonna be there forever.

For sure it will. It contains what your skin needs.
Just like you eat vegetable, your skin will be in better condition.
Same theory.

okay thanks bro, just bought Blackmores multivitamin tablets from Guardian, hopefully it can help.

What do you guys think about caroline products in the stuff for the ladies section? Is it really that miraculous? And it is damn expensive, RM500+ for the set..

No budget really - if the product is good and worth my money I don't mind paying.

I'm just looking for facial wash / scrub... nothing else, I'm not into the whole moisturising, toning and what ever have you..

I just wanna wash my face man and get rid of the scars biggrin.gif

You need a good moisturizer or scar cream to get rid of the scars. You can't expect to just use a cleanser to clear everything. And like jonny4 said, facial scrubs are not recommended if your skin is acne prone, later your condition would become worse.

I see, so for my case I guess I would need a good Cleanser and Moisturizer.
Any good brands around?

For cleanser it depends on your skin compatibility. I'm using Oxy Deep Cleansing Wash for a long time already. Once you find a suitable product, keep using it and do not keep changing or blemishes will appear.

For scars you could try using SkinLabs
1) Concentrated Vitamin E Cream
2) Therapy Oil
You can find these two products in Guardian or Caring pharmacies.

I suggest the Shiseido Men Cleansing Foam. it's pricey but cleans the face well without drying. its RM95 for 125ml but u only need a bit to wash de face. moreover u dun want to use toners n moisturizers so this product will suit u. Although I do recommend the use of a moisturizer at night.

scars won't go away by just washing. although over a long period of time the scars will lighten.

Where can I find Shiseido outlets? and how come you do not recommend the usage of moisturizer at night?
