Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to share whatever limited knowledge I have of products in Canada (I'm located in Toronto). Please share with everyone where you have found the lowest prices for certain products. Let's help each other out!

I've only recently begun to start buying OTC products, and I've quickly learned that Shoppers Drug Mart isn't the cheapest place! Don't fall for the lure of the optimum card! lol... [-X

Here's what I found so far:
*Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF15 - Dominion's ($11.99 + tax)
*Neutrogena On-The-Spot 2.5% BP - Dominion's ($8.99 + tax) --> (Shoppers drug mart $7.99 + tax on sale once)
*Clean & Clear Blackhead Scrub Exfoliant - Zellers ($7.77 + tax) [updated]
*Clean & Clear Contiuous Control 5% BP - Dominion's ($8.49 + tax)

Needless to say, I shouldn't have gone to Shoppers Drug Mart first. I would've saved myself a good chunk of change eh? (Ya Canada!)

I'm from the Philippines and I just thought of starting this topic to help those with acne problems in the Philippines.

If you have any helpful tips, new products discovered, kindly share them all here.

Went to the Apoteke and bought myself Panoxyl W 10, which I believe is a wash emulsion and it's meant to be great, but I'm not sure how to apply it.

Do I apply it to my face like a face wash i.e with water, or do I apply it do a dry face? I know I have to wash it off after 2mins, it's just the applying part I'm really unsure about!

Thanks a bunch, hope someone can help me!!

Hi,

I've been on Diane 35 for 5 weeks now. Let me tell, u I broke out soooooo badly the first 2 weeks. Then I even found out that I have severe allergies to grass and trees so that was also contributing to my breakout. LUCKY ME Anyways, recently I've started noticing an improvement. I only got 2 new ones, before I used to get 7 or 8 all at once. (watch I just jinxed myself) I have soooo many scars though. I've also notice I have many tiny bumps in between my eyes and my chin. Honestly, I would rather the little ones then those painful cysts. I hope I'm on the road to recovery. My doctor estimated I wouldn't see results until 6-8 weeks. Anyways, I would appreciate any feedback good or bad.


Thanks

Just like the topic says.
I guess I am a bit disappointed, didnt think i was the only
german with acne problems :/

18 years old, living near stuttgart
(and if you dont know that town, i live ~ 2 hours away from munich.
Yes, thats the city with the hofbräuhaus, where everybody wears lederhosen and where everybody is drunk.
all the time. always. :wink: )

Solved.

Turned out my friend's ordering too, so we'll be ordering together to save cost. Thanks for the reply.

Hi I was just wondering if there's anybody from Ireland on the regimen. How do you find it?

Hey guys, I'm a long time acne sufferer and my skin is looking horrible with red blemishes and uneven skin tone. I was going to order Dan's regimen kit but the postage cost is too much for it to be sent to Australia.

So i went out and bought:
Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser
Proactive 2.5% BP
Cetaphil Moisturising lotion

Is this a good way to start the regimen? any advice would be great! Thanks

Hi guys! I'm working on a project for Acne.org and I need someone to check and see if the Spanish is correct. Any volunteers?

Hi all,
Am new here Wondering if there are any fellow Singaporeans or Oregonians here

I had hard time getting the products that works for me locally, so I had to order on-line, am wondering if you folks are the same.

Till later... /

I though it would be more beneficial to have one main thread for all the aussies, instead of individual threads spread randomly around this topic.

Anyway....

Here we can talk about medication, products, make-up etc, that we use and places in Australia we can find them.

Also talk about what meds you are using, how they are affecting you and their success rate.

Or just tell us whats happening in your life and any other OT stuff...

And this might be a bit corny but a topic we could start with, could be how having acne, pimples whatever (has) affects/ed us in life etc.

--------------------
I have moderate acne and im currently using Oratane (2 and a half months so far)... i still have pimples and am a bit dubious about it working for me...

But i have to admit I feel alot better about myself then i did before that 2 and a half months.

I also have a question: Are there any foods that causes breakouts or are there any that affect you in particular ? Because i think bread is causing me to break out.
[size=18][/size]

My regimen is as follows:

Morning and night, I apply half a pump of Dans Bp to my face after cleaning, and 10mins later I add moisturiser mixed with Emu Oil.

I've been clear for ages now with this regmin, but when I stopped using BP about 2 months ago, all my spots came back. Now that I'm back on it, they've all gone and my skin is looking great.

I've moved to Berlin now though (from Scotland) and I've just discovered that, upon making my order for more BP, there isn't any shipping to Germany. Shit

What to do? I've read that they sell BP in stores, but aren't they just in small tubes? Won't it cost me an absolute fortune to cover my face in the equivalent of half a pump of BP twice a day?

I'm rather worried as I'm so much happier using Dans BP, and really don't want to be in a position where it's going to cost me a fortune.

Any tips/advice? All are welcome!

Danke

I've just started to use the PanOxyl 2.5% Aquagel that my doctor prescribed me for the past few days and have had some slight redness on my face. I heard somewhere in the UK regimen supplies forum that generally PanOxyl products are generally not good. Is that correct? If this is true, then why would my doctor recommend and prescribe this gel to me?

Has anyone else tried and tested the same exact gel? And what were the results?

Hi there, Im from Christchurch. I bought BP etc from Dans website a few months ago but the shipping costs were quite high (I think about $NZD 70), partly due to the poor exchange rate.

Is anyone keen to buy a few bottles of something so we can share the shipping costs? Just give me a PM if youre keen. Thanks!

I have these two products and was wondering if it was safe to use them together or on separate routines such as one in the night and the other in morning.

How well does it work? I want to hear from anyone that has used it with successful results.

Is there anyone from South Africa using Benzoyl peroxide 2.5%?
I hav been going to pharmacies and asking they all seem to look at me like im mad!
Does anyone have the make of a good make, like a specific brand? im using galderma products at the moment so something that will be fine to use with these!

Im really keen to start the regimen with proper benzoyl peroxide 2.5% and stopusing my benzac face wash,which does not seem to be doing much sad times! anyways will be thankfull for any help

This stuff is great!!! Ive been using it for almost a week and its my face wash come true. Ive been through so many washes and one thing i hate about most of them is that they don't wash off well and they leave my face feeling oily. CETHAPHIL DOESN'T DO THAT!!! this stuff washes clean. i also am seeing a bit of change in my skin tone. I use BP but i hate using it everyday because it made my skin dry and discolored. thanks to cetaphil i use BP twice a week and my skin is clearing with my tone coming back better then it was. I don't understand when people say the smell. i don't smell anything but soap!!! overall this stuff is AWESOME!!!

please let me kno if this stuff keeps working. ive been using it for a week

I have two cetaphil cleansers, the bar and the pump bottle but they have stopped improving my skin.
As for BP I use Spectro which is awesome but I'd like to replace my cleansers.

Any Suggestions?
Please include prices

I know I've bitched about the ad, but I'm just wondering, is Freederm actually any good for getting rid of the odd spot quickly?

Also, is it really around £9 for one tube of it? I searched on Google and that price appeared once or twice. Just seems a bit expensive, I was expecting it to only be about £3 or something, I haven't actually looked for it in a shop yet.

Hi everybody.I want to ask german BP users if any1 of u tryied "Sanoxit 2.5%" and if it is gel consistency (like Dan's BP) or it is more like Benzac AC (more creamy consistency).
Thx

Hi,

I'm moving to Germany in the next few weeks and wanted to know if it's possible to buy Benzoyl Peroxide there. I've been using Dan's regime (Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar + BP) for the past 4 years and it's cured my extreme acne.

As a cleanser I use Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar which can't see being too hard to find an alternative it's finding BP that I'm worried about.

I did a search for Germany in International Regimen Supplies but it mostly brings up old threads with mixed results.
One thread from 2006 shows you can get it as Sanoxit 2,5% but in another thread there's a post that BP is banned in the european union.

Does anybody in Berlin/Germany know if or where I can buy Benzoyl Peroxide? or should I try to bring over enough to last me a few years from Canada when I move?

Any help is appreciated.

I was just wondering whether any of you use package forwarding services to order Dan's products from the States. I mean that way it might be possible to avoid customs tax as many companies label shipments as gifts. The way I see it, it's handy - person A orders something from Dan and makes it being sent to person B in the States. Then person B fits it in a USPS flat rate international shipping box, labels it as a gift and sends it to person A (and charges few bucks for that). Do you know any good parcel forwarding companies? Or maybe not a company but just someone doing that?



PS
Yes, I know that's using a loophole and should be regarded as wrong. However, I find it wrong that customs taxes and surcharges are so high that the price of my order basically doubles

Hello Malaysians,

Good to find this site which discuss about acne problems. Start from the regime and recommended products. I'm opening this thread to find as many followers from Malaysia to share experiences here. I know got few thread but why not we just combine here. Can?
Mod, please delete if I'm out of the rules. >.<

Ok, now.....my skin problem can be considered as moderate. I never take it serious until I notice my acne and pimples getting more and more! I feel sorry for myself and I decided to find a way how to control it.

I started the regime for about 1 month already. hehe..it's better late than never and I'm using Cetaphil Gentle Skin cleanser, PanOxyl 2.5 and Neutrogena oil-free moisturizer. As the treatment for blackheads and whiteheads, I use Cellnique Skin Action Sebum Gel. I get these recommendation products from one of my friend here.

Results? I can say that BIG white and reddish pimple start to get smaller. Even not too much but I hope I can get better result after this.

BTW, I was thinking to try acne.org products too after I read some reviews about it but where can I get here? Anyone supply?

As said in the topic, I'm from Singapore. The first time I stepped into Acne.org was last year.. cant remember which month. This place was great, plenty of information, advices and great products. When I started, I used whatever I can find in Singapore, but try to get whatever that's recommended here. I had used Cetaphil Cleanser, Water Based 2.5% BP from Guardian Pharmacy and some moisturizer which I cant remember their names. But those are lousy moisturizers.

After using these, I saw results within a week but I am feeling that the moisturizer I used then was not ideal. So I just washed and BP. After visiting here more often, I found out the need to use sunblock in the day. So I searched for one suitable one and believe me, it's not easy. Many just caused breakouts all over again, until I tried the clinique one, which was kindly recommended by one of the users here.

After seeing results in BP and much consideration, I decided to try on Dan's products - Cleanser, BP and Moisturizer. The cleanser was great. I like Dan's cleanser very much. Even my husband and children use it. I'll finish one bottle every month. It calms their sensitive skin and/or rashes. I thought it couldn't wash clean initially. But after using it for more than 1 week, I felt the cleanser cleanses very well. I wiped away the dirt and oil on my face before I wash with Dan's cleanser. I find my face is cleaner after washing. I have never stop using the cleanser since. Then I put BP and sleep. During the day, I'll add Clinique City Block Sheer SPF 25. I didn't use much of the moisturizer because my face is kind of oily and my face do better without moisturizer.

My pillow cases and blanket started to change colour. From blue to kind of pink and colour was bleeching. So I needed something to replace BP which will not bleech my pillow cases and blanket. Luckily, Dan started the trial run on BHA/Sal Acid. It was great. Now, I'll apply SA after washing. It works great so far after more than 1 month of using of SA. I hope this product will stay. I'll definitely get it after my current tube finished.

My problem now is, I left half bottle of 16oz size BP and more than 2/3 bottle of 16oz moisturizer which I don't use anymore and they just sit on my bathroom. I should have bought smaller bottles to try before getting the big ones.

I wonder what's your journey is like?? Care to share?

Hi all,

I'm from Belgium and I want to use panoxyl aquagel, since it's more looking like dan's bp, and not as creamy as my current benzac 10. I want to order it online, but are there any sites where you can pay by international bank transfer? Since I don't have visa or stuff like that..

Thanks in advance,

dotcom!

I found this product called Acnacare and it's these pills you take daily and it clears up your acne.
http://www.acnacare.com/

I've been taking it 3 times daily and it seems to clear up my acne quite a bit.

However, I stumbled on to this site recently and I am very interested in the Regimen and was wondering if it's ok to take these pills and do the regimen as well.

Hi guys!

I went to the Tsim Sha Tsui branch of Watsons recently and they didn't have any AHA. I also checked out Hong Kong's Sasa website and they didn't have any AHA either.

Do any of you know which store I can buy AHA in Hong Kong at?

Please reply as soon as possible because I have prom in 2 weeks and really need to get started with the Body Acne Regimen...

Thank you so much!
