Cannot help it, it's too tempting :s13: Yeah the faceshop nose pack is pretty good! I'm using the volcano clay one, very effective. Can't do too often though, once a week is enough.

For a period of time I tried the Off With Those Heads serum, it worked for a while but I got lazy so I stopped using it. It has good reviews though!

yeah, use the clay first then the nose patch. The nose patch helps to remove those that the clay can't remove but are coming off

where to get this BHA exfoliant or topical Retinol product?

Retinol Products are a type of Vitamin A which will stimulate collagen production. An example of which is this:

BHA refers to a type of oil soluble exfoliant, meaning it can penetrate into yourskin to clear dead skin cells, prompting skin renewal from deep within. An example of a BHA ingredient is Salicylic Acid:

The clay you are referring to is: The face shop New Zealand Volcanic Clay Black Head Clay Nose Pack?

What is the nose patch that you use?

BHA is better because it is oil soluble. This means it can penetrate pores which are oily, which helps when you have breakouts also.

AHA is only water soluble so it exfoliates the surface skin. So if you have blemish free skin AHA is perfectly fine but BHA got more bang for buck.

Clinique Clarifying Lotion Mild is it BHA? It never write it is BHA on the product details, is it you just check it contains salicylic acid and rate it as a BHA product?

BHA product usually don't write they are BHA?
Check that the product have salicylic acid means it is BHA product?

Clinique Clarifying Lotion Mild is the best BHA you tried?

Thanks

I use this as reference. Clinique is the best value by far and doubles as a toner. =D

I have some acne scars on one side of my face from constant breakouts in the last half a year. If I'm looking to accelerate the healing process (understand they will slowly fade away naturally), do I have to go for laser or are there products that can be used?

Try Using Pentaxyl. It helps maintain an even skin tone and reduces the appearance of scars.
Those with pitted holes also can apply. I have a friend who pitted holes all over his face uses Pentaxyl and has great improvement.
