DHC Acne Spot Therapy




I hadthis horrible breakout during the exam period and the dumb fat pimple just doesn't seem to be going away at all. Its one of those annoying headless pimple. Anyway, my pimple cream from the doc ain't helping much so I'm seeking help elsewhere.. mainly from DHC (: bought their Acne Spot Therapy (S$20.90) and the nice salesgirl gave me loads of samples!! I love it when they're really generous with samples, kinda like those at Fancl. Have been reading pretty positive reviews about this Acne Spot Therapy and Acne Whitening Gel but I didn't get the latter mainly cos its pretty expensive at S$40+ and I'm not too sure how my skin will react to it since I am quite acne prone.

The difference between the 2 pimple cream will be that Acne Spot Therapy is used to conquer new pimples which will help greatly in healing it and the Acne Whitening Gel is used on the entire face to not only help whiten new acne scars but also to prevent acne. The SA also gave me samples of Salicylic Face Milk (moisturiser) and Facial Scrub and reminded me that they should not be used on pimples.

I find the SA at Ngee Ann City Watsons to be quite helpful, not pushy and extremely generous with samples. If these work, I will wanna try the Acerola Gel.

Renew Rose Hip Oil


Got my 25ml Renew Rose Hip Oil last weekend at Unity, it is available at Watsons and Guardian as well. I wanted to get just the RHO but there was a bundled promotion along with tht Hydrating Mist Toner for around S$30.

RHO are said to be fantastic for healing scars, moisturizing dry skin and eczema. But for acne prone skin, be warned that RHO may cause breakouts. I almost tried it on my face when I read the reviews about the warning of breakouts in Cozycot (my FAVE forum) so I decided to try it on these couple of insect bites on my leg.
I use about a drop on the insect bitten scars in the morning and about 3 drops + body lotion per leg at night. It has been 3 days, I can't say there is absolutely no difference in the markings from the first day, they do seem a tad lighter but I believe it will be quite a gradual process. I read that vast improvements were seen from some cotters in just a couple of days but again, everyone's skin is different and reacts differently (: guess I got to be a bit patient. Will try it on my acne scar once they heal.
