All About Pimples & Acne - Thread 5

Nasa purging stage din ako using Differin. Ang tagal mawala ng pimples! Di ko tuloy alam kung istop ko na ba ito. Naglagay ako ng Differin over small pimples lang, nagulat ako lumaki yung mga pimples sa spot na yun. 

mga sis, nipisan nyo lang paglagay ng differin, napansin ko kasi kung san pa yung manipis ang pag apply ko dun pa makinis yung area. kapag medyo napadami pag apply ko, dun pa nagkakaron ng pimples.

avoid using make ups saka powders whenever you have acne, just keep the area clean, i'm using the olay regenerist cleanser twice a day and it really helped my acne disappear, plus spot treatment din either panoxyl or clean &clear speed gel. i also use baking soda once in a while, nakakatanggal kasi ng redness sa akin, garlic also works for spot treatment but i don't recommend it kasi mabaho. hth

sa mga my hormonal imbalance na nagpaconsult na sa ob, anong test ginawa sa inyo para malaman na hormonal imabalance cause ng acne niyo? thanks sa sasagot.

I found out na hormonal imbalance yung cause ng pimples ko before even consulting an OB when I had pimples on the areas na hindi na normal magka-pimple. Like my ear, my scalp, super dami sa back na napa eww na talaga boyfriend ko when he saw it and walang humpay na cystic pimples sa chin and one side ng cheek ko. So I was advised to take pills again, ayun after 3 months of taking Diane35, walang wala na sa back ko, sa face nalang na very minimal na compared to before.

i'm using st. ives facial scrub (brightening) and yung papatubo pa lang na pimple, di na tumutuloy

sis, pede ba ang scrub for everyday use? nag hello pimple ako e, gusto ko i try to..

[angelicdevil]

hi sisses! i'm using sebamed clear face cleansing bar and toner plus epiduo. derma nagbigay sa akin. nagtry ako magpalit ng toner ayun pimple galore. i'll check with my OB din kung hormonal imbalance yung sa akin kasi kung kailan ako tumanda saka ako pinimples.
so far, yung 3 lang gamit ko at nalessen yung pimples ko. medyo may kamahalan lahat kesa gumastos ako ng malaki sa products na hindi ako hiyang. tapos vitamin c everyday

i think one of the best ways to prevent pimples or to treat them is to use mild products lang. i use cetaphil blue pag wala akong mabiling sebamed. hirap kasi hanapin nun dito sa pinas. everytime na nagpapalit ako ng regimen, pimple galore ulet ako.

so ayun lang. do not self medicate. baka lalong dumami yan.

Hi sisses, anyone here who has rosacea? What meds do you use for it?

parehas tayo sis ng case. bigla na lang din nagsulputan mga pimples ko sa back, tapos biglang nawala, sa mga jaw areas naman ako nagkaroon, sobrang inis na talaga ako.

need to go to my OB na talaga.

ive been acne prone since college and  i've tried all sorts of derma products even belo's..dun ako nagpapa treatment but matapang yun mga meds nagkaka red patches na mahapdi as in sobrang hapdi.. na remember ko clindamycin or tapos tretinoin pinapagamit ng mga dermas na na try ko. mga products na nag work for me ay facial wash na celetque or yun ginagamit ko now apple kiss bath& body coconut and honey facial wash sobra sensitive kasi ng skin ko. then nag oil cleansing method ako. sa binibilan ko ng ibang organic products may nabasa ako mga articles nila very helpful ang tips http://applekissstore.multiply.com/reviews meron about bad skin care habits, mga acne causing ingredients, pati oil cleansing meron din.

i remember before way back in highschool my derma prescribed me to use differin, para akong pimples na tinubuan ng muka. super purging ang nangyri at mga 4-5 mos ang purging, grabe talaga. pero after that ang puti puti at kinis kinis ng skin ko, to the point na lahat nagtatanong sakin kung ano ginamit ko. nung sobrang kinis na ng face ko, napagod na ko mglagay bg differin, hindi n ko pinimples ng todo.. not until last october, dahil sa stress nagkapimples nanaman ako ng madaming madami. balik derma nanaman ako and differin padin pinagamit sakin, pero that time di ko na kinaya ang bonggang purging. kaya i stopped using it. imagine tuwing pg gising ko sa umaga i always see new pimple with big pus when im using differin. kahit alam kong its part of purging stage hndi ko na kaya pa kasi im working now di pwede na puro pimples ang face ko at namunula.. to make the long story short, if you are patient enough with purgibg, stick to differin, ako mismo proof ng effectiveness nya in the long run, it takes time lang talaga, for some it takes more than 5 months for purging.

anyways its all about knowing whats best for your skin, i spent lots of money for skin care pero i found out na my skin needs to be exfoliated daily to prevent it from breaking out, since my skin is suuuper oily, so hanap ako ng facial scrub that will not irritate my skin even for daily use, trial and error ulit for scrubs, but as of now what works for me is eskinol papaya facial scrub, i use it at night. and in the morning i use nivea extra whitening facial scrub.

and once you found your hg or hiyang facial products, stick to it and stop experimenting

As for me, I just use my clinda toner and tretinoin prescribed to me by my derma and i think its working naman.  I used to have regular cystic pimples before but when I started using clinda and tretinoin, parang minsan nalang and maliliit lang.  Whew!  Thanks doc!

I would highly recommend the honey-bee line ng tony moly!  My brother uses their honey-bee essence and bb cream. effective talaga. In one week patay na lahat ng acne niya and now yung dark marks niya are gone If you have been suffering from acne for a long time, give this a try. It's not harsh/abrasive like those medicated creams.

babalik loob ako sa proactiv nagkakapimples nanaman ako na maliit dahil sa kiehls,

[Dhee-Dhee]

^^how much yun sis? tia!

[kissntell]

^if i may reply, proactiv costs Php 2,500 for the 30-day set while 4K naman for the 60 day set. i am not sure about stopping the regimen, i think need mo talaga maintenance dahil balik acne galore daw ang mga people when they stop.

[chirochan]

^  nope sis di naman ako acne galore when i stopped yun mga acne ko small ones lang unlike before na cystic acne, what caused my acne now is kiehls

[l4dybu6]

hi. ano po mas maganda? yung panoxyl cream o yung gel? tia

[yukishih]

Apple cider vinegar as toner. Actually di naman ako mapimple except kapag malapit na ang period ko.

[mayger03]

may toner talaga sis na apple cider vinegar or ikaw lang ang gagawa? if gagawa pa, ano bang procedures?

[ellenmitchie]

Lately I'm having pimples again. Natigil na sya last year pa, just recently lang nitong May nag start na naman. I thought yung new foundation ko yung culprit. But then at first hindi naman ako nag breakout dun, almost a month ko ginagamit yung foundation ko, hindi naman ako nag breakout. I stopped using it, thinking na baka yun nga yung cause, pero still ang dami pa rin naglalabasan.

I believe hormonal imbalance nga cause nito. Maayos naman sleep cycle ko, sa foods, healthy foods din. Nung una puro cystic pimples ako sa jawline and chin, ngayon naman nag stop na sa chin pero sa cheeks naman lumipat. Up to now meron pa rin sa chin. Hay. Sobrang nakaka depressed kasi to think ang kinis na ng face ko, ngayon puro red scars na ang lalaki.
