Mens Facial Thread...

Hi, where did u see doctor? My face is in a very bad condition, but i duno where to seek a gd dermatologist.

where u get? is it very expensive?

I went to NSC, but it depends on the severity of your condition. I was given Differin and Retacynl at first, but it got worst, so i was given accutane The side effects of accutane are not something to joke about. It may put stress your liver as well as others, go google it.

Personally, I face side effects like extremely dry skin, lips, abrasions and can't stand for long period under the sun (Sports). To add on, I didn't drink much during my medication period.

Anyway, anyone knows how to remove blackheads?!

P.S I spent around 2k at NSC. Incase anyone is curious, I consume it for around 7-8 months

Not really true... some pple are sensitive to salicyclic and in return it gets worse.

20% is extremely strong and i think it will burn your skin very badly if your acne is not those really bad type.

mine gets very red on just 2% salicylic acid liao.

Hmm in my opinion, I think if facial cream can work, just carry on using facial cream. The effects of the medication are pretty severe, just heed your doc's advices. He knows your condition best my face was absurdly oily plus I get one-two bumps PER day before I visited nsc.

anybody know any facial wash for oily face?My face get oily easily exp mine noise.

 

[Angeliquez]

In regards to getting rid of acne, yes, must trial and error. I've tried sacrylic acid - didnt work, organic stuff like apple cider vinegar - didn't work ... I didn't go see a dr too due to fear.
But then Benzoyl peroxide worked for me so. You just gotta figure out what works for you

[Hahahehe]

cleanser is enough if you need to just clean your face. but toner helps you to tighten and contracts your pores after you shower. ( cos we usually shower with warm water, and our pores expand after that) and it will help with better absorption to the moisturizer after you use the toner.

Moisturizer helps to store and hydrates our face so that your face wont feel dry and start peeling. and hydrating in important for your skin just like our body needs water..
and it also helps to replenish certain vitamin and minerals that you just washed off from our face. =)

hope this helps a little..

Okay thanks! Got any relatively inexpensive and good toner and moisturizer to recommend?

my family is a amway user.. and im just sharing what is really good in there. and i only share products that me and my family is using or has use before that are really good and effective.. =)

they might be a mlm company. but their products esp home care and facial care and health supplements are really good products. and alot people dont know their product benefits untill they have tired using them. like in the first place i also dunno what is amway untill i tried using their toothpaste. then my family started using those necessary products.

 

[qwanyi]

anyways, Amway is a MLM company and also a online retail store for their members.
there are really people who uses their products over many many years because they are good.

if you are purely a consumer, you get their yearly membership and you get it at a cheaper price. if you are a non member, and you wish to purchase their products, you will have to go through a middle person who might or might not mark up. but there is a max price they can go if they mark up..

As a member, what we get is a distributor price which is cheaper then the retail price ( which member sell to non-member). so for non heavy user, usually they do not sign up for member. but for those people like my family, everything in the house also use amway products, then can save alot. plus they do delivery for $150 purchased online..

and for every product there will be points. so be it you are a consumer or non consumer, you will have a point system. if you purchase certain amount of points that month then you get a rebate in dollar.

so for those consumer + distributor, what they earn is the mark up price plus the points lo... =)

for me, im just sharing effective and good products that we've used so far. as it is a mlm company, people wouldnt know how good the product works till you started trying them. and that was how my family started using their products. people who are interested can buy or take it as a good to know there are such products exist lo.. no harm checking things out right...

angelique zehzeh which moisturizer did you use~?

 

[Millimeter]

Just went to Kiehl's at Bugis. The girl there was very helpful, and taught me how to take care of my skin.

Bought the following products after I explained my situation -

Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash
Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol-free Toner
Yerba Mate Tea Lotion
Acne Blemish Control Daily Skin-clearing Treatment

Total was about $250. I'm sure I could have gotten them cheaper online, but needed the staff's help to pick out the right products. If everything works out I'd probably buy them online next time.

Any online stores to recommend for Kiehl products? I'll update this thread if my face improves, ha.
