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!)

Hello everyone~


Looked thru the forums and i gather tt the only AHA products tt can be found in Singapore are NeoStrata and Therapeutic?

Have anyone used them? Have AHA helped ur red marks to go away more speedily?



Lol, 3 qns. Now all i need are answers~
zzz red marks go away~

ciaoz

sa mga filipino d2 ano ginagamit nyong sun screen protection? ung for sensitive skin po tska ung hindi nakaka clog ng pores. tanung lng po kse d aq makapag decide kung anu ba bibilhin ko na sunscreen. alam niu nmn d2 sa bansa nten grbe ang araw.

This will be the thread for Filipinos. Ask away.

Any Filipinos here tried Acne Plus (RX) sold in mercury drugstore? My derm prescribed it to me, saying it's good with already inflamed acne? Has anyone tried it? I just don't know if this is the one i'll use to spot-treat

i saw the youtube video on neutrogena on-the-spot treatment and dan used HEAPS of it, im afraid one tube wont be able to last me so long! gosh, i had no idea we had to use THAT much..

and one small tube is alrd 13$ from watsons ):

i wanted to order online for the products but its really really expensive for the shipping..

anyone found another cheaper alternative?

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.

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.

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

Hello.

I don't know if this is the correct forum to ask this question, but I think this is the place to ask. Do you ship the Regimen to Norway? I saw somewhere that you don't ship to Sweden, which made me a bit suspicious (for a lack of a better word)

Has anyone heard of the Stievamycin GEL? I got it from my pharmacy, i was wondering if anyones took it before, and if there is side affects (breaking out worse ) and how long it takes? Thanks.

hey guys!
so I've done some research and finally realized that the only person that could help me with my acne is someone that has gone through the same products and regimens that I've gone through and has the same skin type as me... and I figured I'd find that someone here. Good thinking right? Haha, I sure do hope so.

So I started breaking out when I was in the 5th grade which was when I was 11.
ELEVEN!! it killed me. As I got older, the acne got worse and to this day (I'm seventeen now) it's still very bad.

Right now i have about 5 really big deeeep papsules all on my right lower cheek. My friends are constantly teasing me saying i have constellations on my face. haha, i guess it is just something i have to get used to.

I break out almost everyday. New ones always seem to appear on my upper lip which are the worst because it's like having a canker sore outside your mouth haha. grrrr. I used to break out a lot on the t-zone but now it's migrated to my upper and lower cheeks.

SO! the products i have used so far are:

La Roche Posay - did absolutely NOTHING. and it was about 40 dollars for the whole line.

Clean and Clear Acne Wash - Made my skin very dry to the point where i couldn't open my mouth to laugh. i love laughing..........

ProActive - It worked for the first week and then all of a sudden it was like i was washing my face with poison. The only thing that ProActive did for me was it made me break out even MORE.



Right now i'm using the Neutrogena Advance Solutions.
I've been using this for about 5 months now. It actually worked REALLY WELL and i had clear skin for about 3 months. But all of a sudden i'm starting to break out again and i don't know whether to stop and search once again for something that could replace this or keep using it and pray that i'll get clear skin again.

so who out there can give me some advice?
some words of encouragement?

who wants to be my hero? lol

Which is better to use?

Brevoxyl = Creamy formulation with 4% BP

Panoxyl = Light formulation with 2.5% BP

A doctor I went to prescribed Brevoxyl a few years ago....and i have tried Panoxyl before.


But I am just starting the Regimen and want to know which one works best.

Thanks

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.

Hi guys , havent been on here for a long time.

I just came to see what you guys thought about the quinoderm face wash?

Im currently using for my regimin , Quinoderm face cleansing wash, quinoderm5, and then aqueous cream (a very basic mosturiser, which isnt non-comodogenic )

I must admit im pleasently suprised with the face wash, it doesnt foam up to much so your skin maintains good contact with the antibacterial agents, and I genuinly feel clean and fresh after using it

Has anyone else used the face wash?

I need a fairly cheap moisturiser and i need a cleanser aswell.

http://www.boots.com/
http://www.superdrug.com/

they will probably have the most cleansers/moisturisers


i'm thinking of getting either
http://www.superdrug.com/Face-Wash/NEUTROG...167&bklist=
http://www.superdrug.com/Cleanser/GARNIER-...327&bklist=
or
http://www.superdrug.com/Moisturiser/CLEAR...367&bklist=

Both neutrogena and clearasil contain small amount of SA, and i'm using BP during my regimin, what will be the effects? Also the clearasil says its a gentle exfoliator aswell, but i read microbeads are bad in a cleanser. I don't know to much about the garnier one.

if anyone else has any completely different recommendations and tips then please do!

Hey

Anyone from Denmark? - if so what products are you using - are you on Dans regime ?

Look at my signature for the producs I use

Kind Regards
Anonym

Before starting on the Regimen I was using an oil free moisturiser which worked great, but now it's not good enough. I am really suffering with redness and flakes which are a pain especially as I won't go without foundation, I have a lot of hyper-pigmentation and I'm just not at that point yet.

So I'm wondering if anyone in the UK can recommend me a moisturiser? Preferably oil-free. I don't want to use Dan's as I can't use jojoba, I used it as the oil cleansing method last year and it is what destroyed my skin in the first place, it's never recovered. I also can't use Olay products, as I'm very sensitive to them. Arg!

Hi
I searching för a gentle face wash and a moisturizer..
Could I use some from Loreal, Olay, Lumene or Garnier?
I have dry and sensitive skin.
I have also looked för Neutrogena here in Sweden but I can only find Visibly clear..

Really need some help.

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?

I wanted to share with you where I found my supplies and what I got.

BP - BENZOIL PEROXIDE
Il perossido di benzoile si trova in Italia senza obbligo di ricetta in ogni farmacia.
Io uso il BENZAC 5% GEL. Funziona bene, ma ha il suo costo: 13,5€ per soli 40ml
Sarebbe meglio il 2,5%, ma non sono riuscito a trovarlo per ora...

CLEANSER
Dopo aver usato per quasi un mese un sapone liquido della nivea, mi sono deciso ad acquistare finalmente un detergente specifico. Non fa schima, ma sembra funzionare bene:
Cetafil detergente - 18€/250ml

MOISTURIZER
Per ora ho preso: Cetafil fluido idratante - 20€/500ml. Ma non mi soddisfa un gran che... c'è scritto che non è comedogeno, ma è molto olioso e rimane abbastanza bianco.
Ne proverò di altri, ma se non trovate altro è molto buono

SPF
Qui viene il problema... per ora non ho trovato nulla di soddisfacente. Quello che consigliava Dan qualche tempo fa non contiene più l'ossido di zinco e perciò lo sconsiglia. Sono alla ricerca di un'alternativa.

Qualcuno ha provato altri prodotti? Fate sapere!

Hi I am travelling to Singapore & Malaysia in Oct.

I know that some medicines are banned. Is BP gel? Any other medicines?

Cheers.

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 fellow Singaporeans,

I have an approximately half-bottle 16oz DKR moisturizer and about 80% filled bottle of DKR jojoba oil, which I no longer use as I realized over the last few weeks that jojoba oil really irritates my eyes. I'm quite sure the vast majority of people do not have this problem, but for some odd reason or another, it just happens to me. (DKR moisturizer contains jojoba too in case you guys are wondering)

But what does this have to do with everyone? Well, since I no longer use these, and I highly doubt I will go back to using them (And risk getting my eye irritations all over again), I'm actually offering to GIVE AWAY these two products. Free-of-charge, no catch. I could sell them off cheap, but I seriously doubt anyone will wanne buy half-used products. Expiry dates are May 2010 for both fyi.

So if you are interested, just drop me an email (jason_tcr@yahoo.com.sg) and we'll arrange something.

Oh and if anyone has got DKR Benzoyl Peroxide or the DKR beta trial Salicylic acid, I wouldn't mind doing some kind of barter trade too. Or buying. Just let me know. Thanks.

Regards,
Jason

P.S. I'm not keen on shipping the products out of Singapore, so to all the non-Singaporeans reading this, sorry yea.

Any kiwis on here from The Bay or Tauranga? and could you recommend any products that you use in your regime that could help get rid of my acne.




























Better Mr. Moderater?
