Anong pang tanggal sa pimple marks? I have two kasi sa face. Yung isa red sha, then the other one is medyo black. I tried using lemon juice nag subside naman yung bumps niya, but still meron parin konti and yung scar niya andun padin. Nagsisi talaga ako kung bakit prinick ko sila.

Bioderm ointment very effective sa mga patubo ko na pimple. Contractubex naman sa pimple marks. Hay monthly na lang may natubo bago magka period...

[lesters_gal]

^sis effective ba yang contratubex na yan sa pimple marks?

[summersunder]

I used luxxe white glutathione from Frontrow. Hindi hiyang sakin. Tinubuan ako ng sangkatutak na pimples. Sabi nung seller, normal lang daw yun kasi nilalabas nya lahat ng toxic sa katawan, after 1 bottle daw eh magsubside na sya. Naka ubos na ko ng 2 bottles, di pa din nag subside at lalo dumami! LOL. Di na ko nakatiis, so nagpa derma na ko. Niresetahan ako ng toner na may salicylic acid + AHA. So far so good. 3 days pa lang, tuyo na pimples ko. 4th week ko na today, at totally no pimples na. Konting scars nalang naiwan. May days na may tutubong maliit na pimple, pero merong nireseta na pang spot treatment, with concentrated AHA + salicylic din. Ayun, di na siya lumalaki, tuyo agad once mag spot treatment ako.

hay medyo nalulungkot ako, dami kong pimples sa noo, pangit na ng skin ko
nagkaka pimples lang ako dati pag malapit na yung period ko or pag puyat pero mga 1 or 2 lang, ngayon ang dami niya
not sure if this is because of the foundation im using (naturactor)

i went to the pharmacy and the pharmacist offer me some stuff, one is epiduo and the other bioderma (a litlle bit pricey, he said this is for the acne scars), day 3 pa lang ako pero mahapdi siya, i hope maging ok and bumalik na sa dati yung skin ko haha

Ako i went to the pharmacy na rin last thursday, hindi ko na carry yung pimples ko sa pisngi. She gave me effaclar duo +. Para daw yun sa pimple marks and clogged pores. Nag subside naman ng konti yung pimples. But still meron pa din. Medyo mahapdi din sha when you apply and it turns red. Sabi ng friend ko who tried effaclar duo + ganun daw talaga yun, after a week mawawala na daw yun chaka yung pimple marks. Lesson learned sa akin ito. This will be the last time na mag prick ako ng pimples. I always do it all the time, pero never sha naging ganito kasi i used eskinol and maxipeel combo yun. Kaya ngayon i don't know kung bakit naging ganito sha.

[budzwhiz]

^ How much effaclar duo sis?

[lesters_gal]

^17euro sis.  Sabi sa pharmacy during night time daw ilagay. Pero during weekends i used it twice a day. Morning and evening. Although you can use it also 2x a day. I wear make up kasi during weekdays kaya i dont use it sa day time. Feeling ko kasi hindi sha gagaling agad kapag pinatungan ng make up. I google online madami sha good reviews. I hope maging ok din sha sa akin....

bloody_venus, are you in manila?  It would really be best to visit a dermatologist rather than use different creams lang.  I've seen friends with acne problems due to I guess hindi hiyang na makeup brands.  Naayos naman with frequent visits to the derma, creams (na hindi naman exactly mahal) and treatments (hindi rin mahal).

@summersunder: acnecare(lactoferrin) sis. Around 800 php sa mercury ko nabili dati. SkinB5 around 2.5k+ sa derma ko naman nabili, this one has marked improvement on my skin, nirereduce kasi nito yung oiliness, although yung hair ko nagdry din. Kung low budget naman you may try chelated zinc sa healthy options, eto maintenance ko. Meron din acnerelief(?) Di ko pa natry, sa healthy options din available

[Iemi]

Sisses, have you tried kiehl's blue herbal lotion? Eto kasi gamit ko ngayon, i just crossed my fingers and bought this, pero in fairness effective sya lalo na scars, ambilis mawala, may mattifying effect din, tapos madali maabsorb yung cream kapag gumamit ako nito before. Although sa cystic acne hindi sya ganun ka effective.

wala ako sa manila sis eh pero magbabakasyon ako ng 2 weeks dyan for my christmas vacation, kung kelan ako uuwi saka ko nagkaroon ng mga pimples lol
anyway effective naman siya, natuyo yung mga pimples sa noo ko.

Hi guys!

Wala nakong pimples. I just wash my face with Kojic soap and water, 3-4x a day, then before and after mag-ice sa muka. 1 cube is enough. For the pimple marks, I use Maxipeel solution #3 for a day (2x ko atang inaapply [morning and evening]). Then magppeel na siya after 2-3 days. Mahapdi kasi sakin yung 3 days straight ko gagamitin. For mild peeling lang ako. Acne-prone ako nung HS pero nung college ako, hindi naman na. Ganon ata pag natanda. Nagbreakout lang skin ko kasi madumi sa Manila. Hehe.

If badly needed to be flawless, I use Retin-A 0.05% for a week kasi gusto ko lang. Hehe.

Kahit yelo lang kasi gamitin ko, kinabukasan, tuyo na pimples ko or flat na.

Thanks! Will check healthy options. I have few lang naman pero cystic at every month meron. I hope this works

[Iemi]

^parehas tayo sis, pasulpot sulpot yung acne ko and cystic:( . 3x a day take ko ng chelated zinc as maintenance, if may cystic acne ako i take 2 tabs 3x a day.

[cloh]

may nakatry na ba dito mga sisses ng benton products? i have benton snail essence, so far okay naman wala pa namang pimples na lumalabas 

[reighnyielle]

^ I'm going to try the chelated zinc from HO sis since may nagsusulputan talaga na pimps at that time of the month and yung cystic type pa 

[Iemi]

Baka hormonal din yung pimples mo sis? Ako malapit na magka period kaya nagpapakita na naman yung mga pimples ko.

take note lang sis, take it with meals, kasi nakakacause ng abdominal disturbance ang zinc, specially if you double the dose ( like what i do when i have cystic acne, 2 tabs 3x a day).

If nagmanifest yang side effect na yan just take domperidone or hyoscine.(sorry ot, but you can trust me with this, im an rph)
