Alright , My Name is Ben. I'm from Malaysia , going 19.
Well I just started the regimen , however I'm not using any DK's product.
Why?
First , it's really far away and it cost a lot to ship it to Malaysia , not to mention the price is already unaffordable for me.
So I went for Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser Wash for cleansing.
As for step 2 , which is the treatment part.
I was gonna go look for some products in some pharmacy or stores , but before I went out I wanna confirm the ingredients name which is the Benzoyl Peroxide. So I go and check back all the old product I used , surprisingly , I found that Proactiv actually have one which contain benzoyl peroxide, and it's exactly 2.5%. For those who used Proactiv before , I'm sure you guys know about the ingredients.
When it comes to step 3 , the moisturizing part.
I bought Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion along with the cleanser.
And that's about it for the products.
I guess I should tell you guys a little about my current face.
My face is very very oily , how oily is it ?
I don't know if you guys ever felt this before , but for me when I went out for school around 7am morning , my eyes will be very pain around afternoon , the pain is like urm , something went in , for instance soap , I will have to take a tissue to keep on wiping my eyes or even wash it. My assumption is that the oil on my face slip into my eyes and causing the unease.
Oh and also I'm a fans of popping acne or pimples. However I'm gonna stop doing so after reading so much posts and information.
Hmm what else?
And I do use some concealer when I go for a movie or some occasion. The concealer I'm using is actually from SkinFood.
I guess that's about it.
Oh do comment on the products that I'm using , like pros and cons. And of course any other opinion that I should take note.
Please and thank you

Hello there and good luck with the Regimen! I used to use Cetaphil's face wash, but in the normal variety. It seemed to clean my face decently, and rid whatever makeup I had worn that day.

I also used the Cetaphil moisturizing lotion and rather liked it. I would mix a little of that with a little Aloe Vera gel in the evenings.

Right now I use the DKR, with his products, and it's working great for me. I do counsel patience though. It took around 4 months to effectively work for me, and I still get a few pimples here and there.

Let us know how it goes for you. =)

I really did considered DKR , but it's a bit costy for a student like me moreover it's so far away which take days to ship.
Well I did saw a few good feedback from Cetaphil so I guess I'll stick with it for now.
After using the regimen for few days. I'm actually okay with it but the problem is morning when I go to school.
For those who used Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion before like Kairasa , You should notice that lotion is urm pretty greasy , as I said before , My face is super oily which like double the oil. However , the funny thing is I didn't felt any pain in my eyes anymore. But still whenever I look at the mirror , I'll saw a whole layer of oil , and when that happen I immediately get a tissue and wipe a bit and cover partial of my face.
Other than that , everything is going fine , oh I don't know if this is normal but there's a lot of small pimples turning white. And I'm trying my best not to pop it as you guys said is not good.
That's about for the week.
Do leave some comment about my daily routine or perhaps can correct me if I did anything wrong.
Please and thank you

Alright , It's been a whille since my last reply.
So I'm still doing the same routine everyday.
But still my face have a lot of those tiny tiny little pores and sometimes some big one.
Question.
Should I use some clean mask?
Should I go for facial?

[BenL]

Okay. My face is getting more serious than before.
I don't know why.
Situation?
It's getting dry especially near my neck part.
And it getting a bit flaky (Is that the word of how your face feel when it gets kinda dry?)
And it's growing more and more.
What should I do.
And after using 1 month , I can tell there's not much different yet. I know it takes a longer time.
Question is , will those little pores little acne will go by itself? Or it will grow bigger and eventually pop out like any other normal acne.
Please look through this.
Thank you.
