Acne part II

Sing this to the tune of Akon - 'Mr Lonely'

Oh acne,
I got so many,
To call my ownnnnnn *chipmunk screeching*

I woke up in the in the middle of the night,
And I noticed a bump on the side,
Could have swore I dreamin', for sure I was feeling,
was hoping it was just a mosquito bite,
Backtrackin on these few years,
Tryin to figure out what I did to make it go bad,
Cause ever since it kept poppin',
My whole life came crashin
and im so...

never lonely,
I got so many
acne to call my ownnnnn~!

Do NOT sue me. I don't own the song, I just changed the lyrics to my liking.
Please don't copy paste the lyrics without permission <3>

Yesss, I'm a quarter of a century old and I still get my fair share of acne/pimples. They grow when they like to and where they like too. I have absolutely no say, and it pisses the shit outta me. Then again, one of the most likely reason they are even around is because I can't shit aka constipation. It's gotten better now as I drink more and more water.

But sometimes they (the acne) still do pop out for a visit especially when it's that time of the month again. It's like a full moon party with rave music and everyone gathers around some spots for an all night party.

It's not the end of the world for me everytime they pop up, it just annoys me. I don't kneel down and cry "Oh LORD, why me? WHY MEEEE!" oh wait, sometimes I still do that but still, I know they'll someday pack their bags and go away.

But for those people other there who suffers from acne like I do, I do suggest taking good care of it from young to prevent it from scarring later in the future. I can't stress enough on this cause trust me, the scarring part is probably worst than the pimple part. At least pimples goes away.

In my previous acne post, I mentioned some way of covering the acne up, and in this, I'm going to do a short write up on how to solve those damn acne problems.

Find the correct skincare is really no easy task, there are so freaking many skincare to choose from and we spend tons of money on it and we test everything on our faces with fear and hope in our hearts . . What suits me might not suit you and vice versa.

Not a miracle sure fire cure but just a little something that have helped me along the way. It was recommended to me by my long time beautician, Felicia and it's comes in a sample package costing about RM22.

Ta-daaa, my favourite pimple banisher! No magic wand required!

One reason why I dare to recommending this thing to everyone is because I do believe it'll suit most skin types, not to mention, I have extremely sensitive skin and this suits me fine. Ah what the heck, this thing comes with a money back guarantee!

Over the years, I've spent a small fortune on my face from one facial to another, from one full range of skincare to another. One reason why I no longer buy full size items first anymore.

I don't care what the person says about it being a miracle anti-wrinkle, anti-pigmentation, anti-spots, and also cures black circles and puffiness from eyes all while having skin whitening, skin radiating, skin lifting ingredients that tightens your face so you look a gazillion years younger that banishes every crow line around your eyes that you have faithfully accumulated through out the ages and lines that you had due to excessive smoking and maybe who knows, swearing and cursing.


I don't bloody care what is stated on the box, what I really want is results! And the thing that I absolutely despise is people who LIES to get you to buy!


Sung to the tune of N Sync's - Bye bye

Buy Buy Buy!

Not only that, they try to scare you into buying by saying things like "Oh your skin so dull!" Hello, I wasn't born yesterday, I'm fair, it's hard for fair people to have dull skin. Not saying it's impossible but my skin peels often when I use the wrong products and when my skin peels, how can I have dull skin? Dull skin is because of the dead cells accumulated on the face, d'oh.

There's this one lady from Melilea that was trying to get me to change my skincare into theirs. Initially, I'm totally fine with the whole idea since the price was affordable. But her opening line to me was "Oh your skin so dull!"which left me confused.

I went to ask Elisa about it only to get an earful on how she has never saw my skin dull all her years of knowing me. I trust Elisa without a doubt but still feeling insecure and wanting a second opinion (just in case E was just being nice) and I asked the best person I could think of, Felicia from Beauty Concept. My beautician of 10 years. Felicia reconfirmed what E said and from then on, whatever trust I had for the lady (who apparently is a certified beautician of 3-4 years) eveporated like snow flakes in the Gobi desert!

I'm not sure about you guys but I tend to buy my things from people that I trust. One thing about Felicia is that she's not the pushy type and she's more concern about your face than how much she can squeeze out of you. She's truthful and she's never afraid to share her beauty tips. I absolutely love her. I've known her for a good 10 years now and she's the only one I truly trust to touch my face especially my eyebrows. And with over 20 years of experience, to me she is the best when it comes to eyebrows. Every single year I would go back to her to do my eyebrow embroidery.

I know that there are plenty of pimple/ acne clearing facial cleansers out there like Mior, Pro- active, whatever and whatever but if you're at your wits end, give this one a go.

I've used it and it really does have results and after finishing the small sample tubes that I use sparingly, my skin got way better and my skin was radiant. The only reason I'm having pimples now is because after my skin gotten better, I grew a big head and stopped using it, all was fine till I didn't drink enough water, period, lack of sleep and so forth. So this time, I really got to stick to these regime and save money to buy the full bottled ones.

If anyone has tried this before, do let me know your feedbacks whether you agree or disagree with me. Thanks!

hey girl, I am using it too ! I've written posts about this product. Hmm... I am considering to buy the full size but well, the sample size could last me more than 2 weeks. So, either way, this is definitely a great product.

I already converted some of friends into Dermedex users. Haha..

Cheers.. we have the same skin saviour.

hevn said...

I'm shocked but I'm happy too, I must have missed that post of yours, will go check out your review on it now!

Nicholas said...

Have you heard about a product by the name OMX?
It might be useful, expensive but if apply could get those acne goes away without leaving scars.

hevn said...

Hey Nicholas, thanks for the comment, No i have not heard about OMX, how expensive is expensive?? >.<

I don't think Dermadex leaves scars too, thank god, but i might want to check out yours just as well to see how's the reviews..

once again thanks for posting!

hevn said...

hey there,
where are you from?
I get mine from my beautician here in Penang.

and about OMX, I have no idea where to get them from =_=;;

hey Ash,

The Dermedex seems to work well on acne :-) How am I supposed to get it? Any recommended beauty saloon? So far, I have been using Clinique Blemish Solutions Treatment Gel and it works well for me! No scars, and can be applied under your concealer. (I'm just used to apply a very thin layer of blemish gel before concealing it:p and I know I'm kinda "old" but still I got blemishes sometimes, especially before PMS). As for concealer(for acne only), I highly recommended Avene Cover Spots. It contains Salicylic Acid, Vit E and Zinc Gluconate which really helps to combat/heal breakouts and calm your skin. Normally I wont use those non-antiseptic concealer, I'm too afraid it would make my blemish worst and I want them to heal in 2 days...hahaha!

@Hey there Michelle!

I'm really not too sure which part of Penang you're in but I usually get mine in Tg. Tokong's Prima Tanjung. There's a beauty salon called Beauty Concept that I do my facial and all in.

Try to look around in your area if you can get them, worst come to the worst, let me know and I'll mail them to you.

Avene Cover Spots
How's the coverage on the concealer? But it really sounds good, will keep an eye out for it, thanks!

C'est LazziMic said...

Hey Ash,

haa...sorry, it should be Averine Cover Spots, instead of Avene. My bad...I should have checked my spellings next time before posting it:p

I would say it has medium coverage. Although some people might find it a little dry but it never gets cakey and it's easy to blend!

This is the way on how I conceals the acne:
Normal skincare routine-> Sunscreen-> Makeup Base -> Averine Cover Spots -> Foundation -> Averine Cover Spots -> Loose Powders -> You're Done!

I got it at a beauty saloon called Photon Life at the price of RM68. I have seen this in Dermalogica in Gurney Plaze about months ago.

The Dermedex, I'll try to see if I can get it in my area :-)

joanne said...

hey girls,i know where can get the dermetex products,in Penang there's a beauty saloon called " Dejoyce" and it sells the sample product too. Too bad i refuse to buy it as the beautician recommended me. Since it got a good review here, i'm thinking to have one!^.^

O-MX (pronounced as O Max)the actual name of the product from Ohhira Japan. In Malaysia as a direct selling product but in Singapore you can get off pharmacy shelf.
It is actually a pro biotic which is live bacillus cultivated from fruits extracts. The actual use of it is as supplements to greatly increase immune system.
Normally it is taken internally but it works wonder if applied to cuts and wounds as it kill all harmful germs and promote natural healing.
If you need to know further send me a mail at duceli@rocketmail.com and I'll try to scan and send you more info. Maybe you could try to find in Penang.
