Contrary to what the other poster said, there is no problem for guys using women skin care products. Most of the time all the men skin care products are just repackaged women products but they usually charge higher prices for the men products. Some companies do try to have some variation when it comes to men products in terms of packaging, marketing and scent even though the formula is essentially the same. Clinique is the worse as there is no difference whatsoever in the scent, formulation or even texture between their men and women lines. I may sound like a hypocrite but I love the Shiseido Men products as they are practical, simple and lasts a long time. I have not used SKII or Estee Lauder products before so I can't comment. Maybe other members can help out. Just remember that it's best to use what works for you.

When buying lightening products always look at the ingredients on the back rather than the marketing in front. Once u know what they put inside go on google and research on the ingredients to know what really works. I don't use lightening products but if i'm not mistaken glycolic acid (AHA) does help in skin lightening.

There can be many factors causing your pimples to get worse. If it's a matter of a few here and there then don't sweat, just get a cheap benzoyl peroxide gel and within a week or so all should be good. A lot of ppl panic and start buying all the expensive anti acne skincare and end up just making things worse. Sometimes a change in skin care products can lead to breakouts too. this is fairly normal and the breakouts should start to recede within a few weeks...if no then the new product (s) is not working for you.
