Hi Anxious
I know tt u got same problem with me, ACNE! I think i can help u. I used 2 hv acnes with scars during secondary school but it was getting worse even worst when i'm in college, i think around mid of 2002. It's around my whole cheek & left ugly reddenish scars. I was scared 2 go out. I've tried facial at Leonard Drake by using Dermalogica home care products also which considered very very expensive 4 about 1 year but it seemed didnt work, even my fren said my face liked getting swollen and more sensitive which due 2 redness around the acne. Half year ago, i was attracted by the promotion on the salon's advertisement & went there 4 very normal facial only, no extration then they recommend products which brand i've never heard b4. 1st i really dont wanto buy cuz i thought i've wasted so much of $$$$ on skincare that didnt help my face problems. They're very hard-sell & keep on persuade me 2 buy the products then no choice i bought 2 products. I started using it on the day i brought back, i didnt put any hope on it as i think again i waste the $$$ & when i apply i felt very oily. However the other day i got up & notice my face become quite well than yesterday, the bumps has cured a bit not swelling not so red already, i'm really happpy but sure i've 2 wait4 continuous use of it tends 2 good results. That 1 is called Panco cosmetics. I bought a Repairing Lotion 20ml(small)2 try so that wont waste so much $$$ & a Rebalancing Cream(which is oilier 1). About 1 month i finished the Repairing Lotion & i'm going 2 take big size 60ml & continue used til finished. Rebalancing Cream i took 3 months 2 finish it. After finished these 2, i stop using it cuz no much $$$ liao although it's very good. U can really c results within a week. Yet when i finished the 1st bottle of Repairing Lotion 20ml i can c visible results. now my skin no more major pop out not like b4 every week pop out big big bump that very painful & left ugly & deep scars. My scars are also less visible. I swear by it! I love it but cant afford 2 buy it so sad...

Hi janecheong
I bought in M'sia sure u no need 2 worry about the hard sell of the salon i went. In S'pore, i only know 1 salon cuz i e-mail 2 the girl in Panco distributor ask her 4 S'pore salon which sell Panco products cuz that time i thought i'll work in S'pore. then she gave me many in JB & only 1 in S'pore. According 2 her, that is the only 1 which know more about Panco products, others not so well.
The address is as below:

got other called Rebalancing Cream A, i believe mild than the oilier 1. 3 more, 1 called Repairing Cream 35ml RM99, mild also, but another 1 called Repairing Cream B 4 those under drug or more serious acnes. There r 1 new product under Repairing series called Rejuvenating Lotion about 120ml, not sure, in about RM300, balance the oil on ur face, something like that. So the price in S$ mayb half of RM.

Hi malena,
the website that you gave about the dermatalogist in balestier is not working. maybe can you provide the url address again?
tks.
I'm currently experiencing redness around my cheeks area (it gets especially sensitive and reddish when the weather is hot, and my skin is easily flushed), and there's a few scars left behind by past acne.
I'm now on diane35 pill, and it really helps to control my acne and menses cramps. what i really need now is to find a good beautician with affordable products and facials to get rid of the redness in the cheeks area and hopefully, the scars, too.
tks.

my sis got very severe skin problem previously also. it got so worse till it is as if pus coming out of her face. she said it is itchy & painful. then she went to a doc in hougang. i guess the wash improve her skin quite a lot. it started to clear a lot actually. but maybe the cream after long usage become mild for her face so she went to national skin center who gave her Therapeutic products which she claim not bad. but for sensitive skin, try not to use alcohol content skin product. i think it may worsen. hope it helps. in fact, i quite like neutrogena - acne on spot. maybe u can give it a try. can give a try to body shop tea tree facial wash too.

Hi all,
I find that by using Tea Tree Oil on my face by applying it day and night seems to work great for me.. It can be applied on even when there is no pimples.
I too will apply mask at least twice a week and go for facial once every month.. So far my skin has no breakouts since 2 months ago..

Hi guys..I've been sufferin acne for 12 years.I've tried everything on shelve but nothing works.Now i'm on doxycyline and apply acne aid cream but it doesn't work.Any suggestion? email me at :[email protected]
M,
If you on doxycyline, u must b seeing Doc already. How long? May take 6 mths for condition to stabalise.
Anyway, after all sort of treatments, I finally went on roaccutane. Drastic but only thing that could work for me. Upside is that it works. But down side is, there are side effects and cannot get pregnant while on it coz will coz birth defects. Another thing is that acne can still come back after a while but fo me, it has become an occasional thing rather than a few new ones daily.

Every medicine has its side effects. I guess we need to explore every possibility before we can find the things that work for us.
Acne may also be due to genes.. so if that is the case detox may not be the solution. I am also on oral medication but found that the effects are not long lasting. All my family members have to deal with acne problems.
The 1st time I was on doxycycline, it works well for me... but once I finsihed the course, few months later, my acne problems came back.. though less severe. Now I am back on Doxy for the second time but found the effects less apparent than the 1st time. So disappointed. Still, though I have one big pimple once every other week, most of my skin is cleared up.
Perhaps its the cosmetics I am using... maybe its due to the type of food I am eating.. sigh, if its genes is the real cause,then I am really at my wits end.

Hi,I oso have this problem as well. I can say my genes is quite good as all my family members seldom have pimples
As for me, i only have pimple recently like 3 mths ago. I tried going to facials and even bought anti blemishing gel but no use.
In the end i still go and see a skin doc at Chinatown, recommended by a friend. That doc give me tetracycline and oxycline (something like that) and a cream call adaplene.
For what i know is, both the antibiotics cannot be consume for long period of time cos' it will cause damage to liver. So i'm now afraid that after i stop taking it, the pimples will come back.
I have a friend using "Dalacin T" given by a skin doc in National Skin Ctr. According to MY doc, it's a roller tip to dap on the pimples directly. But that's to combat the pimples from the surface. So my doc think that clearing my problem internally is more impt. Whereas my friend's doc at NSC feels that oral medication is not necessary. So you all can see that even docs can have diff views. So i oso dunno who to believe.
The doc also tell me that in order to see the marks disappearing, I also need to apply those cream for about 9mths. It will only cure completely in 1 yr's time. But i'm getting ROM this Nov. how can i wait.... sigh....
So keeping fingers crossed, hopefully no more new pimples popping out. I'm now looking for good concealers to cover them instead.
Cos now I have not been using makeup, scare will clog my pores. And i have been cutting down on deep fried food, late nights and to reduce stress so I can be more relaxed.
Effective cleansing routine is important also, so i'm still experimenting which pdts are the more suitable for me.

Mandy,
I read yr story. But at least you can cure now and be ready for your actual day even if not in time for the ROM in nov
I think is important to clean properly on external skin as well as curing from internal.
Personally, I find that the application that skin centre doctors recommend dries the skin or should i say attempts to control the oil secretion to prevent pimples and to dry up existing ones. If you can find good skin care products made of natural ingredients combined with effective anti oxidant taken orally, they can actually improve yr skin too. Does not necessarily have to resort to chemical products.

thanks zann,
but what are the brands for effective anti oxidant to be taken orally? U know any of them?
Actually my skin told me that once my pimples become very mild, i can start using the roller tip to dap on my pimples and stop depending on the anitbiotics.
Well, i'm not sure if by my AD, will my pimples all clear or not... Cos all the while i seldom have such bad breakouts and i was caught off guard and suddenly dunno how to react only.

Mandy,
Do know of one but they are not sold over counter/shelf. I understand what you mean abt the antibiotics and roller dap. Is your breakout really bad? If it is still manageable, you may want to continue what you are using and see if it will work in the end and hopefully your skin will be cured. If it doesnt, then if you wish to know more abt the product I am talking, then let me know. Just a brief description, this product is an anti oxidant that can get rid of free radicals. So besides cleansing your internal system, it can also improve your skin condition. Fyi, the company which is selling this oral intake also carry skin care products.

Hi June!
Do you buy the pearls from those medicinal shops nad make your own mask? Does it just involves mixing with water?
I've heard of the miracles of pearl, and wanted to try..but was put off by the price..Just a pinch of pearls cost $30!! (one time usage.
) It's more expensive than one sheet of sKII mask!
Btw, can it be used on face with active acne?

Hi Joan
heheh.I'm also looking for the recipe. I had seen in the newspaper about the pearl and seahorse concotion and was interested in trying.
I went to the the something "Fu" chinese medicinal shop, and the lady over the counter told me that pearls really can help to improve the complexion and lighten scars. There are 2 kinds of pearl powder. One is to be applied on, and the other to be consumed. But the cost is really too ex leh. One pinch of pearl cost $30, and is only one time usage. Besides, i also don't know how to apply. Are you suppose to just mix the pearl in water and apply on your face?
Looking for anyone who's using the pearl recipe to give some guidance.

Hi, Ru Yi
Are you referring to the pearl mask? I also used it before and it is quite good. I got it in one of the US website, it cost me around SGD120 for 50 gram. But it is really good. How much did you buy?
