Moving to Australia next week and I'm currently on the regimen in the UK. Was just hoping people could let me know what they use over there.

Currently on

Johnsons top to toe face wash (cleanser) Might change to cetaphil lotion

Dans BP

Cetaphil mositurising (night) Olay sensitive 15 spf (morning) both with jojoba oil

So what is there in australia. Is there a 2.5% BP because there isnt over here.

Also the sun is gonna be more of an issue over there so what suncreams (sunscreen) is good to use?

Thanks!

You can get all of those products in Australia and you can get a 2.5% BP called Benzac (though Dan's BP is better in most ways) in majority of the pharmacies here smile.png There's a lot of good sunscreens but my issue is finding one that doesn't cause my face to break out. There's a brand called Hamilton that do a 30SPF daily face sunscreen that I liked and didn't have trouble with but it was a matte finish so I didn't use it when my face was really dry and flaky in the beginning of the regimen. I'll have to try it again though. But at the moment I'm using a neutrogena SPF15 moisturiser - not an ideal SPF for me but it doesn't cause my skin any issues and it's better than nothing!

Where in Australia are you moving?

All the best for your move over here smile.png

Hey!!

Thank you Very much. I'm moving to the Gold Coast. Don't know much about that area to be fair ha. Do you live in Australia? ot did you? Thanks for teh advice. Imight just order some more of Dans BP before I go then. I'm using a moisturiser with 15 spf but just need a sunscreen because a lot hotter than England. They just make my face always feel so greasy

Are you still on the regimen?

No worries :)

Ah the Gold Coast - nice! So you won't be far from the beaches at all :)

I live in Brisbane

Yeah definitely a good idea to look into a higher SPF - I need to do that also...

And yeah still on the regimen, though I can only manage to use it once a day so my skin isn't as good as it could be on it.

Ahhh I fly into Brisbane. Really looking forward to it. My skin is definitely better on the regimen than off of it. Keep with it. Hopefully we are acne clear soon!
