My never ending battle with Acne/Pimple

After spending $$$$$ and trying out 85666355634252 products, I've finally find the one that leads me to have a clear and blemish-free skin.

I'm the laziest person on earth so I don't want to use 46258462654 products and follow 7456654343 steps everyday for my skincare routine. 

Here's the products I used:

(Take note: I didn't say perfect skin, Just a clear & blemish-free skin)

 

PURE BEAUTY (Exfoliating Facial Scrub)

- Price is around $1.50 for a 15ml sachet 

(they don't have a bigger size as this product is quite new so I guess they are still testing the waters. But no worries as the package comes with a cap)

- Contains micro-beads for exfoliation, but doesn't hurt nor overly dry you skin.

- Leaves your skin very clean and free from dead skin cells

- Can remove make-up thoroughly

PANOXYL (soap-free cleanser)

- Price is around $4 for 60ml (it could last for around 1month)

- Can be used together with other acne treatments

- Very mild and doesn't dry skin

- No unpleasant smell

CETAPHIL (oily-skin cleanser)

- Price is around $8 for 125ml (it could last for around a month or two)

- Can be used together with other acne treatments

- Very mild and doesn't dry skin

- Can easily remove non-waterproof make-up

- No unpleasant smell

- Makes your skin so smooth after washing, but not oily at all

PANOXYL ACNEGEL 2.5%

 ( 2.5%=mild to moderate acne condition, 5%=moderate to severe and 10%= severe acne condition)

- Price is around $3.50 for 10g (this could last very long depending on the areas you apply)

- Experience mild peeling on the areas you apply (but just on the 1st and 2nd week, your skin will get used to it as time pass)

- Will slowly reduce the size of a cystic pimple normally around 6-7 days. For flat or freshly pump acne, it would disppear overnight

CONTACTUBEX SCAR REMOVER (Optional)

- Price is around $20 for 20g (could last very long as you only apply this to the acne scars)

- Very smooth feeling upon application

- Non sticky and non-greasy

- Ance marks slowly fading

My Routine:

--->If you wear make-up, make sure to remove it thoroughly by using a Make-up Remover (I used Maybelline's). Even though the Pure Beauty does remove make-up but I still suggest to use a make-up remover.

---->After removing all make-up, exfoliate your skin by using the True Beauty Exfoliatin Facial Scrub. Massage it all over your face and leave it for 1-2 minutes then rinse if all off. Though the instruction states that this should only be used once a week, but I used it every other day as my skin is super oily. 

-----> Massage your skin using either Panoxyl or Cetaphil then rinse if all off.

(**Basically I alternate usage of Panoxyl and Cetaphil, today I used Panoxyl and maybe tomorrow I used Cetaphil. It's totally fine as both cleanser are very mild and won't do any harm on your skin.)

-----> Apply a very thin layer of Panoxyl Acnegel on the areas where you have acne/pimple (in my case its on the side cheeks, forehead and chin)

-----> Apply  CONTACTUBEX SCAR REMOVER to the areas that have acne marks. 

Although my skin is not THAT clear yet, but at least it improved a lot by just a facial wash and gel. I'm super lazy but I want effective and fast fast results and above are the products that suits my lifestyle and really really works(plus its not that expensive and all of them are OTC).

Results may vary to other people as we all have different skin condition. Mine is super oily and sensitive and above products works pretty well for me.
