saw your pics and you don't look like you have pock marks at all. ayun kse ang problem ko and it makes me real depressed ba. i think your skin looks nice and you don't have any major probs.
Nice to see that there's a thread here for the Pinoys. I'd been a member here ever since I started having breakouts. I visit this site often, and found about the regimen using BP. I tried following the regimen using our local products available in the Philippines that Dan's mention on the supplies list. I have great success controlling my breakouts, but not 100%. I still have occasionally breakouts here and then.
So I decided to order the Dan Kern's products thinking that I'll have better results with it. So basically I was able to order the products and received it after 4 days(UPS) I got 1 Dans gentle cleanser, 1 Dans moisturizer and 1 Dans BP. I tried it for a week but sadly it didn't work for me. The gentle cleanser is a bit drying, the moisturizer is too oily, the BP is alright but I think I'm better with Benzac AC.
For those fellow Pinoys who are in the Philippines who are on the regimen who might be interested to use Dans products.
Here is the sample picture
sana maging ok na tlga ang skin ko. sinubukan ko yung dan kern regimen for almost 10 months. naging clear ang skin ko pero ang pangit ng skin tone ko..mukha nakong matanda..ganun daw tlga effect ng bp..
so about a month ago sinubukan ko yung differin sa umaga saka bp sa gabi. yung bp ko sa gabi is brevoxyl 4% tapos sinusunod ko yung 1 full finger bp. so far so good naman..nung first week sobrang breakout tlga.. sa sobrang grabe ng breakout sa tingin ko nagkaron ako ng scars sa cheeks dahil lang dun sa breakout na yun..
sa ngayon medyo gumaganda na skin ko..may konting active pimples pa din sa left cheek pero more of clogged pores na nagiging inflamed. sana maging clear na tlga..
gumamit din ako 2 weeks ago ng apple cider vinegar para din sa skin tone and red marks..so far so good naman

my scars are more like scarred/enlarged pores, tapos mas halata yung raised and indented scars sa nose. concealer helps to cover it by removing the shine making a matte finish pero pag close-up hindi pa rin ganon ka-smooth yun texture, more like holes with fillers na hindi pa rin perfect yung touch

i don't know if panoxyl is available in the phils and i've never really tried it before.
i remember benzac was okay in keeping my breakouts at minimum but it made my face red and more sensitive. my skin doesn't respond very well to benzoyl peroxide (benzac's key ingredient) anymore as it makes my skin reddish and makes my acne worse. if you really want to try it, try visiting mercury drug. they should carry it. i got mine, though, with a prescription from my derm.
now, i'm using MAXI-PEEL exfoliant soap kc ung cousin ko nwala tlaga mga pimples niya and pumuti sya, prang ng-even out yung skin tone nya. And feeling koh hndi xah gnun ka tapang di gaya nung solution na natry ko narin before. Cno na po nka try? i just want to know ung effects sa iba...
I'm really curious about Maxi-Peel, but also very scared to try it, hehe. I'm thinking kasi na parang ganito rin yung mechanism of action ng Obagi.. hydroquinone and tretinoin.. although Maxi-Peel is much, MUCH cheaper.. and proudly Pinoy-made! Does anyone have a log of his or her experience using this product?
BP is also working well in clearing up my pimples, but I want sana a treatment that will do something for my large pores and brighten my face.
