All About Pimples & Acne - Thread 6

^ sobrang pricey ha. naalala ko regarding whitening lang. yung sa back acne part, maganda yung soap ng VMV, sobrang hiyang ako doon at mabilis ang epekto. Kaso lang masyado siyang nakakadry ng skin kaya ang advise noon sa akin dati, hindi dapat directly ikuskos sa skin, sa palad muna tapos konting water, tska lang i-sasabon sa sarili. Tapos since mejo nagddry talaga skin mo, dapat every other day lang ginagamit or 2x a week. Pati yung scars naglilighten talaga.

imho, kung ganoon din ang price, magVMV ka na lang.

Nabasa ko dito beauche daw pinapang tangal ng pimple mark kaya lang medyo natatakot ako sa peeling hindi kasi ako nag lalagay ng kung ano ano sa muka ko kasi I used to have really flawless skin sa face ngayon nag buntis ako sa 2nd child ko ngayon ko lang naranasan mag karoon ng patong patong na pimples sa chin.

you're pregnant pala sis cloudzy_09? i think you have to be very careful with some products that you use sa face, especially those than contain tretinoin kasi it has a teratogenic effect..most of the breakouts during pregnancy are caused by hormonal imbalance, mas maganda siguro if you consult your ob or derma first on what products to use..just to be safe sis.. when i was pregnant, i brought all the products i was using sa ob ko and inisa isa namin ang ingredients/content..praning lang..haha!

i'm planning to switch to royale kojic papaya soap kasi a friend of mine is using it and maganda result sa kanya, she used to be a kojie san user din kaya naconvince ako. pricey nga lang. i think it's 180 for 130g

sis viellemacey, ang dami palang kojie/kojic soap?? kala ko isa lang yon.. ano kaya bilhin ko?

[viellemacey]

^i use kojie san sis. 50+ yung 1 box, 2 small soap yung laman. i suggest yun muna itry mo. maganda effect sakin. curious lang talaga ako sa royale kojic soap kaya itatry ko.

[etra.ph]

^^kojic acid/ dipalmitate ang chemical na ginagamit sa mga kojic soaps..
Kojie-san is a brand na gumagawa ng kojic soaps. Madaming brand ng kojic soaps sis.

[dandoloup]

thanks sis viellemacey, i will start with that muna..

ay ganun ba sis etra.ph? di ko kasi alam yon, first time ba..haha! now i know, kala ko kojie/kojic magkapareho.. haven't tried using it yet, but got so curious because of positive feedback from GT..hopefully it will lighten my scars din..thanks sis..

[viellemacey]

^welcome sis :-)

[scruffs]

Hi mga sis,

ask ko lang kung may naka-try na ba sa inyo ng erase solution for your pimple problems?

Also, suggest naman po kayo ng moisturizer na okay, first time ko din gagamit ng moisturizer eh.

Thank you.

[etra.ph]

you're welcome sis dandoloup. glad to know the clarification helped you in some way

scruffs sa totoo lang medyo trial and error din kasi sa paghanap ng moisturizer kasi iba-iba reaction natin. Madami na ako na-try: celeteque, myra-e, derma prods, oils, ....
I suggest celeteque. mura lang, effective and madali hanapin sa watson. hhehe tapos parang clear gel lang siya meron din sila moisturizer with sunblock.

celeteque with spf

[viellemacey]

^agree sa celeteque. i put it sa fridge para malamig sa face :-)

sis cloudzy_09, konting tiis na lang pala... sabagay maganda din yan para paglabas ni baby, ready, get set, go ka na kaagad..

hopefully we can find products that will work for us..madami ka namang mapupulot na mga reviews and tips from here..let's just hope that what works for our sisses here will work for us din..

[scruffs]

Hi sis etra.ph thank you sa suggestion.

Mga how much yung celeteque na yun? Although nakikita ko din siya sa Watsons kaya lang akala ko kasi mahal kaya hindi ko pinapansin, anyways, salamat parin. 

[cloudzy_09]

@dandoloup

Oo nga nag research na ako kasi last time na nanganak ako hindi ko alam kung ano beauty product at treatment gagawin ko kaya I end up buying products and treatment na wala naman epekto medyo malaki pera din yung nasayang for nothing

[etra.ph]

^^tiningnan ko website nila, plain moisturizer is 127 for 50ml, spf15 is 150, spf30 is 230 po.

hello mga sis 

i haven't backtracked but to those suffering from pimples, have you tries saltwater sa face?
because i'm doing it now, i mix tablesalt with water and after i wash my face, i apply the saltwater solution sa face ko, leave it for a few minutes then rinse off

i've been doing this for over a month pa lang pero okay [textspeak!] sa pimples, tumuyo and na.lessen ang breakouts ko

maybe this can help sa ibang may acne/pimples   

[mkga]

Because I was recently diagnosed with PCOS, super acne invasion sa face ko talaga to the point na I feel helpless na. Although the OB prescribed me pills na after a few months will help clear my acne, syempre gusto ko din naman mabawasan sila agad. I applied Differin gel and it somehow helped dry the pimples. It is quite pricey lang- 900 something for a 30g tube pero ok na rin kasi it's effective.

sis mkga, i know how you feel.. i have the same case as yours way, way long before..the feeling of hopelessness and insecuriities were really eating me up.. i just went to a derma doctor and took whatever he prescribed me, walang oral meds sis, puro pahid pahid lang, 3 solutions and 1 soap (his own concoction).. sobrang suffer ko sa first two weeks while i was on treatment, kasi feeling ko mag ka crack yong face so sa sobrang init and sobrang hapdi..nakaharap ako sa aircon at electric fan whenever i put those solutions sa face ko..after 2 weeks yon, thankfully na lessen na rin ang breakouts ko and i've been maintaining his medicines for what, 15 years already!! non-stop yan sis, kasi i noticed that when i stopped even for a week, bumabalik yong mga alien na yan..i have monthly breakouts due to hormonal imbalance, but they're just manageable..yon nga lang leaving an ugly scar everytime, which is my concern as of the moment..but no big breakouts like before.

what i'm really trying to say sis is,  if these things affect us emotionally and psychologically, it's better to seek an experts advice, which is in our case, mga derma doctors (legit).. medyo high maintenance lang and nakakapagod, but it's worth it sis...i can't believe i sustained this for 15 years!!

hope this helps sis..

Sobra talagang kaka-depress pag maraming pimples! I was an acne sufferer before and tried all kinds of remedies, even guava leaves. Hehe! But I believe that if nothing helps your pimples, better to go to a dermatologist. I waited for years before I went to a derma so I have deep scars now, but my face is getting better now. I don't have pimples na, just acne scars.

[oshiawase]

^ who's your derma?

can you share your regimen/meds?

[pretty_B]

Hi sisters, sino sa inyo pamilyar sa PANOXYL? Effective kasi sya sa akin pero mukhang napull-out na ata sa market yun. waaa. ano kaya nangyari? tsk.
