removing blackheads/whiteheads [thread2]

[eischied_21]

^sis, hindi ba nagdadark yun pimples after mo lagyan ng salicylic?

[l4dybu6]

^ sis hindi, mas mabilis sya maka lighten ng marks. yung unang lagay, mamumula, kahit scar na, tapos 2nd day magpipeel na.

[crazycoolchic19]

^ thanks for sharing, ma try ito, sa facial lang  kase natatagnggal yang mga stubborn dirt ..but after a few days balik na naman tapos facial na naman ako sana effective ito 

[tomatostellar]

i have whiteheads under my lower lip kahit todo scrub ko sya pag naghihilamos ako, they sometimes smells weird =( ughhkl
i dont have much problem w/ blackheads naman na, altho the hair on my nose looks like blackhead LOL it's ridiculous

Pano ba gamitin yung salicylic acid? Yung first try ko kasi I applied with a cotton bud sa sides ng nose and chin, tapos nagssting siya and nagred. Dapat bang iwash off with water after a few minutes? Or hayaan lang?

[l4dybu6]

hayaan lang, dapat di madami ang ilagay para di magsting. pero namumula talaga sya pero nagpipeel din

[Dhee-Dhee]

^thanks sis! as in totally nawala na ba pimple marks mo?

[l4dybu6]

yup, bilis mag lighten. nagka 3 pimples kasi ako nung gumamit ako ng baking powder ng etude.
in 2 weeks ala na marks na nagka pimples ako.

^everyday ka ba naglalagay ng salicylic acid?

[l4dybu6]

^3x a week.

Natry ko na salicylic sa bagong pimples, mas mabilis nga magdry up kesa benzoyl peroxide! Pero wala pa kong makitang effect sa whiteheads. Observe ko pa muna, bagong gamit ko pa lang naman. I was thinking din kung kailangan ko na ba magshift to a gentler facial scrub para mas madalas ako makapagexfoliate. St. Ives kasi gamit ko 2x a week pero parang wala namang effect

[oktoberfest22]

Sobrang harsh ng grains ng St. Ives for me. Lagi ko ring problem ang blackheads, but my facialist advised me against using scrubs too often. Sabi nya baka raw lalong dumami ang blackheads kasi mago-open up ang pores pag gumamit lagi ng scrub.

Anyway, I find Alba Botanica Hawaiian Pineapple enzyme scrub to be much gentler. Very fine ang grains nito and the enzymes also have an exfoliating effect.

Nag extract ako ng whiteheads sa nose ko. Kainis! Nagka pasa sya. Lol! Nangitim tuloy yung ibang part ng nose ko. Grrr! Bdw, i find glam nose strip effective provided that the nose is thoroughly wet.

So far nabawas bawasan yung blackheads sa nose ko with the use of my facial cleanser which has salicylic acid and LRP effaclar duo..

[WickedWitchOfTheWest]

^galing ng effaclar duo no? I'd use it everyday if it wasn't so drying.

[lovely_chic]

^ Ang galing nga niya sis Caren.. drying ba sa iyo? Hindi naman ganun sa akin. I use it kasi everyday and sometimes twice a day ko pa siyang ginagamit.

[miss_dibly]

Ano yang effaciar mga sis? San din nabibili at how much? Thanks

[WickedWitchOfTheWest]

^ Ang galing nga niya sis Caren.. drying ba sa iyo? Hindi naman ganun sa akin. I use it kasi everyday and sometimes twice a day ko pa siyang ginagamit.

Sadly oo, hindi na ganon ka-resilient ang skin ko eh. But I still use it pag may breakouts, pero every other night lang.

^Sis, effaclar duo is a product by La Roche Posay. As far as I know, not locally available. There are 2 vairants - US and European. The US version is more effective kasi its a mix of BP and LHA. The LHA works as an exfoliant. The Euro version has SA.

 I think hindi siya available locally sis.. It's La Roche Posay. I bought mine in London.

How long you've been using this one? Rest muna yung skin ko sa Tretinoin kaya't eto muna ang ginagamit ko..  I'm surprised nga kasi kahit yung pimples ko ang bilis mawala because of this one.
