What is the active ingredient in the Acne Away gel ?

Minor pimple marks will fade away naturally but it takes a long time. Try using a stable vitamin c serum in the day and apply a good sunscreen on top. In the night use a retinol product. The combo of these 2 things will help to fade your acne scars gradually over a period of a few months.

I actually bought the roll on a few weeks back and looking at the ingredients I think it only works for minor scarring. The texture is really sticky and never seems to dry. But it seems to be quite good in fighting acne rather than vanishing scars.  I don't think I'll be buying this again.Vitamin C and retinoids still work best for scars.

Its a pain finding potent and affordable BHA/AHA products in msia. Neutrogena has a good range but they don't sell it here...maybe in the future. Probably the most accessible and affordable AHA/BHA products is from Avene. Cleanance K has both AHA n BHA and is a nightly treatment against whitehead/blacheads...should also work for minimal scarring. Costs around RM50-60. Cleanance K is effective but the texture, finish and smell is horrible.

As for the flaky skin just use a heavier moisturizer and it should solve the prob.

I just saw a few tubes of panoxyl  2.5% at Guardian 1U new wing a month ago. I contacted the distributor once coz I couldn't find 2.5% anywhere n they told me they are still importing it but I need to ask the pharmacist to do a special order sometimes.

Retinoid (Diacneal) works best applied to clean skin so don't apply any moisturizer/serum before Diacneal. Apply Diacneal, wait 30mins to an hour den apply your moisturizer. Don't think u need to apply both serum and moisturizer. U could probably use the serum in the day and moisturizer at night.

Diacneal can get locally la at some Guardian, Watsons and Caring. It's RM60-70 depending on sales. But if u can get it cheaper from US then get it online. Do read reviews of Diacneal first as it aint a miracle cure. Its a long hard road when using retinoids...ur face will get worse b4 it gets better. If your acne is mild there is no need to use strong products like Diacneal.

Most of the time the salicylic acid in these products are very mild. If u use Diacneal u don't need any other AHA product as it contains both lactic and glycolic acid and at good amounts. If u do get Diacneal then there is no need to use Cleanance K.

If that's the case then Diacneal would be a good option for you. Coz some ppl freak out at 1 or 2 pimples and start going out to buy all the harsh and expensive acne products...they end up making things worse. But in your situation I guess Diacneal would be beneficial. Diacneal is much more effective then Cleanance K. Just keep in mind that for the first few weeks u will get more breakouts as the acne deep in the skin is drawn out. If u have been a AHA/BHA product consistently for a few months then the breakouts won't be too bad. I used Diacneal previously as a spot treatment and I din really see a big difference. Now I use it all over my face at night n after 1 week I can see the effect. However it really dried my skin out...but not as bad as benzoyl peroxide. Also Diacneal is strictly for night use...retinoids break down by sunlight and in some cases become toxic when exposes to the sun.

The most important thing when using a retinoid like Diacneal is applying sunscreen daily no matter if u r in the sun or not. I made the big mistake of skipping sunscreen the 1st round I was on Diacneal and my acne scars became darker.

Retinoids and AHA work by peeling off layers of skin basically. As the skin becomes thinner it loses protection against UVA n UVB rays. Making the skin highly susceptible to sun damge. http://www.skinacea.com/retinoids/useright.htm

It's not an absolute rule to wear sunscreen and use retinoids only at night. You could try skipping sunscreen and use retinoids day n night. Just don't let me say "I told u so" a few months down the road

bro ive never had any problems using this product.. is it due to your skin type or something? im quite surprised frankly...

I recommend u try Sunplay Skin Aqua Moisture Milk SPF50. Quite cheap (RM30, 40ml). It's really light and alcohol free. Doesn't make ur face oily but at the same time doesn't really control shine much...very natural.

I'm currently using Sunplay UV Moisture Milk SPF50 for my daily sunscreen, should I pair it with moisturizer since I have oily face? Any decent product recommendation for the moisturizer?

so those oil wiping blue papers are to clean ur face from oil, means help preventing pimple/acne?

wow that's alot of things...
What is Cetaphil cleanser for? is it same with other facial cleanser?
Scars will really darken if I don't use sunscreen?
"Moisturizer / Serum to repair and heal acne scars, fix skin tone" ~ example of product in the market please?

Hi guys my face has a few pimples and the problem is,after washing my face,in a few hours,oil will start to come out,I know this is normal,but I dun really like it,cos it feels greasy,plus I wear spectacles,so it doesn't feel nice..

What product should I use if I want to combat acne and oil at the same time?I dun really have serious acne,my acne is just becos of puberty I think 

Now I'm currently using Nivea For Men Oil Control,it's quite good but the thing is,it just helps for the oil,it doesn't prevent pimples 

Uh,do u mean that guy who says that he's outdoors the whole time in college?Not the same case as me 

But I am also looking for a good face wash,now I'm using Nivea For Men Oil Control Face Wash,but it only helps to control oil,doesn't help in preventing pimples..I am wondering if T3 is good,but the guy a few posts above says that it contains too little tea tree oil to even be considered useful?

And I only want to use those brands that you can get in pharmacy like Guardian,Watsons etc. as they are pretty cheap compared to high-ends one 

Ok,what product do you yourself recommend to help in acne and oil prevention?And what is the best moisturizer?Must we get the same moisturizer frm the same brand as the cleanser?

im 18. is it ok for me to use niacinamide related products like the NIA24 Skin Strengthening Complex?
