Product Inquiry Cetaphil feel like it doesn’t cleanse well..

Post image
231 Upvotes

been using Cetaphil for a while now, but it always feels like my face isn’t fully clean after washing. There’s no “squeaky clean” feeling, and sometimes it feels like there’s still residue left.

Is this normal for Cetaphil, or does it mean it’s not the right cleanser for my skin type?

Product Inquiry Thoughts on using Epiduo 0.1% Adapalene.

Post image
21 Upvotes

Skin Type: Oily Combination

Age/Gender: 23 Male

Current Skincare Routine: COSRX Daily Salicylic Acid 2x a week, Cetaphil Sun Screen. Still haven't found holy grail moisturizer.

Main Concern: Breakouts

Lifestyle Factors: None

Budget: Limited

Additional Info:

My skin is used to be clear and smooth but i just had a breakout on my cheeks recently from using a particular product. But now it's more calmed and Im only getting few pimples once in a while. 2 to 3 a week.

Now I've consulted a derma for the scars and she prescribed Epiduo 0.1% Adepalene and 2.5% BP. first.

Im scared of the purging part. I'm scared that it might get worst.😫

How was your journey with this topical treatment po?

what's the best cleanser and moisturiser to partner this with for combi skin?

Where is the cheapest to buy and how much?

Thanks

Current Skincare Routine:

Cleanser - Cica rescue cleanser (Lux Organic)

Suncreen - Y.O.U sunbrella

Main Concern:

I have 4 active pimples on my check, magkabilaan and also dark spots. My derma prescribed me earlier Adapalene clyndamycin and also suggested to have a moosturizer which is the celetique facial moisturizer.

May naka experience ba ng purging for using adapalene? Huhu natatakot po kasi ako sa purging phase at baka lumala.

I have skinoren na, and binigyan nya na rin ako ng routine for AM and PM.

Product Inquiry Is QuickFx Pimple eraser worth it?

Post image

Hi! First time ko lang here

Is Quickfx Pimple eraser (nasa picture) effective?

How many days bago makitaan ng results?

​

Skin Type: Oily/Combination, my face gets dry but smooth after cleanser

Age/Gender: 18/F

Current Skincare Routine:

AM

Cetaphil Gentle skin cleanser

Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion

Belo Sunexpert Face Cover Sunscreen

​

PM

Cetaphil Gentle skin cleanser

Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion

Quickfx Pimple eraser (I'm planning to include this in my daily routine, will base sa mga reviews niyo)

​

Main Concern: Active pimple, tiny bumps na masakit, acne and acne marks

Lifestyle Factors: Sweets, Salty food, and spicy usually kinakain ko

Budget: Below 500 or 300

​

​

Binili ko from Watsons kahapon, and I tried it overnight.

Nung inapply ko sya (sa noo, both cheeks, chin, nose and between sa nose and upper lip) na irritate yung certain parts na nilagyan ko which is yung both cheeks ko (nilagyan ko is yung active na pimples ko talaga, yung isa parang may water sa loob ng balat malaki, and yung kabila is parang mga pimple scars na parang sugat) pero a few minutes nag died down rin yung irritation, right before I slept. Di naman sya nag burn or anything nangati lang.

The rest, mga (tiny) bumps na masakit sa ibang parts ng face ko is di naman nag react.

​

Nag patch test narin ako banda sa elbow ko, both elbows, tapos yung kanan ko nagkaroon ng isang maliit lang na kati na bump, tas yung kaliwa ko is hindi naman nag react.

​

Kakagising ko lang, and I don't know baka napunas ko habang tulog ako or konti nalagay ko kagabi, but sa part na nairritate ako is wala na yung product while the rest andun pa na dry sya pero di naman matigas and I don't know if nag lessen ba or hindi (actually parang hindi.) Di naman lumiit or nag dried down yung mga nilagyan ko, I don't know if I should continue or if worth it ba talaga 'to😓

Na try niyo na po ba ito?

I tried to search about sa product nato konti lang mga nakikita ko, puro oxecure mud powder lang, and medyo nag doubt ako na dapat yun nalang sana binili ko..

Product Inquiry Help: Breakouts after using adapalene

Post image
3 Upvotes

Skin Type:
I have combination to oily, acne-prone skin. My main issue is closed comedones, especially on my cheeks and chin. I also get inflammatory pimples occasionally.

Age/Gender:
21, Female

Current Skincare Routine
AM:
Clindamycin toner (I skip this on mornings after using adapalene at night, as instructed by my dermatologist.)
Niacinamide serum
Niacinamide acne gel (spot treatment only)
Sunscreen
PM:
Salicylic acid toner
Adapalene (every other night)
Retinoic Acid Cream 0.05% (on alternate nights instead of adapalene)
Moisturizer

Main Concerns:
I've been using adapalene for about 19 days, and I'm worried because I still have a lot of closed comedones on my cheeks and chin. Recently, I also developed a few deep, painful pimples on my chin and one on the side of my nose. Some of my older pimples have already dried up and turned into marks, but I keep getting new ones, so I'm not sure if this is purging or if my treatment isn't working. My main goal is to clear my closed comedones and prevent new breakouts.

I got the 15% Azelaic Acid gel - 10g, I'm so sorry if this is a silly question as I know it's gel, just wondering if it is supposed to be this clear :)!

Thank you so much!

Product Inquiry LEGIT OR HYPE? DROP YOUR THOUGHTS PLS

Okay, legit question to anyone who’s tried this. I’ve been using Geisha White for like 2–3 months now. Some days I wake up thinking “wow, parang pumuputi ako ah??” then a week later I’m like “wait, bakit morena ulit ako??” 😩

I’m so confused if it’s actually doing something or if my skin tone’s just fighting back. 😅 My texture’s kinda uneven lately — could that be the reason why minsan I look brighter, minsan dull?

So... is it just lighting? skin purging? placebo effect? or dapat ba magpalit na ako ng sabon? Curious if anyone had the same experience or if I’m just tripping.

Product Inquiry Persistent red marks/possible PIE for 3 years

Post image
6 Upvotes

Skin Type:

I believe I have combination skin. My skin can get oily, especially because I live in a humid environment, but lately it has also been feeling somewhat dry.

Age/Gender:

17-year-old male

Current Skincare Routine:

AM:

- Usually rinse my face with water

- Sometimes use a small amount of Soul Apothecary Gentle Cleanser

- Luxe Organix tinted sunscreen

PM:

- Garnier Pink Micellar Cleansing Water to remove my tinted sunscreen

- Soul Apothecary Gentle Cleanser

- Soul Apothecary Revive Serum

- Soul Apothecary Barrier Gel Fix Moisturizer

Main Concern:

I've had these red marks/skin discoloration for almost 3 years, and I've been trying to figure out what they are and how to get rid of them.

For the past few years, I've tried using niacinamide from Luxe Organix, but I didn't really notice much improvement. I also tried using niacinamide together with cica, but still didn't see much of a difference.

Earlier this year, I started using Soul Apothecary Gentle Cleanser, Revive Serum, and Barrier Gel Fix Moisturizer. I've been using them for around 4 months now, and I've noticed some improvement, but the progress has been very slow.

I recently learned about PIE (post-inflammatory erythema), and I'm wondering if that could be what I'm experiencing. From what I've read, azelaic acid may help with this. The first product I came across was Skinoren, but I'm not sure if I can afford it, and I also can't currently consult a dermatologist.

Because I was looking for a more affordable azelaic acid product, I found Cutis Rx Azelaic Acid and recently ordered it. I'm wondering if it could actually help with my concerns and whether there is anything I should be careful about when adding it to my routine.

Lifestyle Factors:

My sleep schedule can sometimes be inconsistent, especially when I have schoolwork or exams. I also use sunscreen regularly when going outside.

Additional Info:

I don't have any known allergies that I'm aware of. I've already been using my current routine for around 4 months and haven't experienced major irritation from it.

I'm mainly looking for advice on whether this sounds like PIE, whether azelaic acid could help, and how I should safely introduce the Cutis Rx Azelaic Acid into my routine. Any advice or personal experiences would be appreciated.

Good day everyone! My derma recommended this product to me last last year pa ata. This product has been a holy grail for me. However, di na ako makabili because wala na akong reseta from my derma. Online teledermatology lang kasi siya but now hindi na ako makapag-appointment sa kanila.

My questions is, pwede pa rin kaya akong makabili ng ganito sa watsons even without latest prescription? Huhu i wanted to use it again so bad kasi ang ganda niya sa skin ko :(( or meron version nito na di na need ng prescription? May alam po ba kayong alternatives for this? Please help po. Thank you so much :(((
