bacne (back acne) Medications and prevention 2

[au_chic]

^wow buti pala ang Kligman's cream walang purging phase (unlike Nuskin Clear Action) 

Disclaimer: I'm not a seller of Kligman's cream ^_^ just a true believer.

for all those who are pm-ing:

Kligman's cream = 4in1 cream = yellow cream = Dra. Gatmaytan's Hypoallergenic cream

it's around 750-800php ata per whole tub sa multiply. Kay Dra G, it's 2500php per half tub.

Materials needed:
  Yellow cream
  electric fan (aircon might do)
  cold compress
  Claritin (generic name is Loratidine)
  Patience for 1 month
  The WILL to NOT scratch!

We first learned of this from sis jappybee (She was the original patient of Dr. G) She had pics as evidence pa.

Sis girlalou testified to this being the only thing that worked for her, pinaship nya pa ang cream abroad to where she is. Plus a couple more GTalkers na hindi ko maalala ang nicks =S

This worked for me for the bacne I got from my steroid medications during my chemotherapy. Ito lang talaga. Promise.

Do NOT use this cream if you're PREGNANT or breastfeeding!!!!

^sis 750-800php ang whole tub sa shoppingnetwork.multiply.com

kay Dra. G, 5000php ang whole tub. mas mahal =(

Ah thanks for clarifying.

Yung online na mas mura, same formula ba dun sa benta ni Dr. G?

I also had back acne before. Based on research, i tried benzoyl wash and cream. It works well. after a month, nag dry agad. But its a peroxide thats why you should avoid wearing black shirt to avoid discoloration of the shirt.

^^ It's very possible it's the same cream, but no way to tell for sure.

Before kasi (years and years ago), I could walk in and buy the two creams (Night Cream and Dermoquin Extra Strength) from the assistants without prior notice.  Etong last time na bumili ako ng "new" formula na mixed together na yung night cream and Dermoquin, the assistants told me I had to come back for it because si Dra. G. mismo ang naghahalo ng cream, and she was not there at that time.  So that makes me think na maybe it's not exactly the same as the pre-mixed version available sa online sellers.  Maaring she does purchase the base from formulators / derma suppliers like Stalder, pero she adds stuff to it. 

Maganda na din naman na merong nag-supervise ng treatment, so para makasigurado I just prefer to go to Dra. Gatmaytan.

I've actually been a patient of Dr. G on my first peeling with Kligmans cream.

My first tub (half tub) was bought from Caraderme. I told her na med student ako, so kwento kwento after the main consult, then I asked ano components ng cream na nireseta nya sakin.

She said the main ingredients are Retinoic Acid for exfoliation and Hyrdroquinone for whitening of the scars.

That half tub had a sticker label with "Hypoallergenic Cream" on it.

Later on, I noticed that the sticker was peeling off, and underneath it was ANOTHER sticker label with "Kligman's 4 in 1 Cream" on it.

(HQ, Retinoic, Vit C, and Hydrocortisone to decrease inflammation = kaya 4 in 1 cream)

I was overjoyed, kasi nga I know a shop in multiply who sells derma products at wholesale price ^_^

So I bought my 2nd tub (whole tub) from that multiply site and did my 2nd peeling session. It had the same color, consistency, and smell as with Dra. G's cream  It worked just as well =)

Ah thanks for clarifying.

Is it safe to use Kligmans if I'm going to the beach exactly a month from now?

[gurlchic427]

hi, i got my kligman's cream from the multiply store that au_chic recommended (thanks btw!). last night was my first application. when i woke up this morning, it wasn't red, sore or anything. but towards the end of the day, the area started to feel warm and i noticed that it became red (although it's not mahapdi pa rin). also, it looks like it's gonna start to peel na in a day or two. is that normal?

[Vain Jane]

How bout Amira cream?? I heard very good feedback bout this.. Will it work kaya?

Is it safe to use Kligmans if I'm going to the beach exactly a month from now?

No, most definitely not safe.  The tretinoin will make your skin very very photosensitive, madali kang masusunog.  Also, when the scars are gone and you stop using the cream, it takes at least a week for the residual redness of the area to subside.

Yes, normal. 

[purplegum]

hmmmm.......
sensitive siguro yung skin...

careful sa shampoo especially sa conditioner pag ng rrinse...
try mo iiwas sa likod....

or after mag rinse ng shampoo/conditioner, cleanse mo uli yung back mo...
para walang residue ng conditioner na matira. [textspeak!] baka yun yung ng ccloge ng pores sa skin mo sa likod, resulting to pimples...

[Azriel]

Finally ordered Kligman's from the multiply shop au_chic posted. I can't wait to get my hands on that cream!

 VMV's id soap works for me

[raven12]

It's my 3rd day of using kligman's cream. Wala pang peeling whatsover yung akin pa. haha. parang ang kapal naman ng balat ko! hahaha

[Vain Jane]

Will Amira work for bacne?

[junepets]

i had bacne rin dati.. kainis pa nun dumami sya before the wedding... (4 yrs ago)...

nagpa glycolic peel lang ako sa LFS LFI... after nun wala na ko ibang ginawa.. then here comes cyleina rice bran soap.. dun nag clear up talaga ang likod ko... wala na rin ako nito..

siguro isang factor din yun shampoo na ginamit ko noon... palmolive ata gamit ko nun..

[choco_loka]

Changed my shampoo to Clear and I think it has worked wonders Maybe because of the anti-dandruff properties of the shampoo?

Sis, try using By Nature Handmade soaps..here's the link..they've got good reviews. http://bynaturehandmadesoaps.com/

hi sisses! i've had bacne before pero now medyo wala na but my sister said that my pores sa likod visible daw parang may freckles i've tried everything garnier cream, maxipeel soap and astringent wala parin eh 

[xtine]

mga sis, i'm desperate na. i'm going to boracay in exactly 10 days. do you a solution for bacne that will work instantaneously? please please help me. lol

I used to have bacne, kasi I love scrubs.  Then my derma told me that scrubs actually strips oil from our skin.  Once the skin looses elasticity, it produces more oil kaya tendency is excess oil to clog the pores.  What she recommeded me is to use yung Dove unscented soap (the US brand, P71 sa rustans).  And to apply Stiefel Physiogel lotion (which is a medicated lotion for super dry skin, I bought in Mercury at medyo pricey sya). 

Armed with these products, I slowly stopped scrubbing my back then I only use Dove unscented soap.  At first, it was dyahe kasi scrubbing always makes me feel clean.  Pag wala scrub, feeling ko parang ang dami ko libag. ha ha ha

Ayun, bacne disappeared and it took me a month to clear the scars.  Ayun, taray ko na mag backless during weddings (backless dress) and swimming.
