I find that 2.5% BP is a really good spot treatment for my skin (especially if I need to go somewhere), as well as the Queen Helene Mint Julep mask. The Mask works well for deeper pimples that are fur...

Another option is Silk Naturals AHA Toner. It has 8% lactic acid.

Have you considered CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser? It's widely available in North America if I'm not mistaken.

I love spot treating with 2.5% BP. Pimples don't disappear overnight but for me, it helps to shrink them. Sometimes I spot treat with the Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask on deeper pimples, they tend to r...

Estranged, go to your local Woolies and check out some of the sunblock there. I know there will be at least Neutrogena, Cancer Foundation, and Banana Boat sunscreen. (Woolies owns Countdown in NZ and ...

My personal belief is that it does, I was surprised about the findings of that study. Studies seem to conflict a little bit about this, but I personally think there's a link between prolonged use of a...

I've heard loooooots of good things about neem oil!

I'd skip the Oxy cleanser completely and stick with the Cetaphil. I don't think actives in rinse-off products stay on the skin long enough for any effect anyway...

Moisturizers with SPF are generally not effective at all since you're not actually putting on enough sunscreen for it to work, a dedicated sunscreen product is what you need if you actually want any s...

According to COSDNA, Isopropyl alcohol has an irritant rating of 4. Your study link is broken. Alcohol might not be irritating for everyone's skin but I think it can contribute to skin dehydration - t...

The whitening products won't make you white overnight, they don't bleach you or anything. They just lighten PIH. You should be able to find some western brands (Eucerin, Nivea, Neutrogena etc) at phar...

I've heard a lot of good things about the CeraVe Foaming Facewash. What do you specifically mean by "all natural"?

Hi! I went to te derm. And she prescribed this sunscreen for me along with other stuff which doesn't seem to have the comedogenic stuff but it's very wierd, it's called Uriage Bariesun 50+ spf , note ...

Try any of the Neutrogena Dry Touch Sunscreens. Should be available in any aussie supermarket. You'll need a separate moisturiser product though since it's not enough by itself.

You could try a hydrocolloid bandage, like the type that you can get for blisters. They are pretty effective at drawing out what is in pimples and I know people with cystic acne who swear by them. How...

Where did you read that vitamin A causes skin flushing? I can't find any information on that anywhere. I think that you have rosacea, as frequent flushing for no apparent reason is an early symptom. O...

I would not recommend adding glycolic acid, as the differin will be making your skin very sensitive and this could potentially irritate it further. Specifically which clearasil facewash are you using?...

Has anyone here successfully come off BP? What was it like?

You might be reacting to the alcohol (46%) in the pads. I would swap to Stridex Max Strength SA pads, they have the same concentration of SA without any alcohol. And maybe reduce your application to o...

Just wondering for anyone who uses SA pads, how many times a day do you use them and what strength (.05% 2% etc). Thanks. I use SA pads in the morning at a 2% strength. Just wondering for anyon...

OCM should not cause purging (IIRC, only actives such as BHAs or AHAs should cause purging) so if I were you, I would stop using hemp seed oil and consider another type of oil for OCM. What about a gr...

Another Salicylic Acid option is Stridex Maximum strength pads. They're at the right pH to be effective. Just swipe them on a clean face, wait for it to dry, and moisturize. They do have menthol which...

It might be a good idea to consider sun protection for your skin! You seem like you are young, wearing a product with high SPF daily is a good habit to get into while young to reduce signs of aging wh...

The Simple skincare brand has a range of products that would probably be more than adequate replacements for The Regimen products. I'm currently using one of their moisturizers and I am so impressed w...
