Thanks for your many ideas and concern, I am on my way to recovery from pimples (or so i hope). So, how did this Garnier SOS Blemish Clear Pen score after all?
It is stated on the box that visible efficiency in 5 hours. True that. Pimples dry out after 5 hours of application and the skin around it started to peel off as well.
As you can see, the pimples seemed to have shrunk a little after 5 hours. I continued using it till Friday.
On Saturday itself, out of desperation, I went for another deep cleansing facial at Aster Spring KLCC. The whole extraction process was painful like shit. But at least the pimples have finally been extracted and subsided. 2 more stubborn ones left though, and I was told to go back for following treatment 2 weeks later. Money oh money. One deep cleansing facial cost RM258. Ouch!
Anyone got better and cheaper recommendation?

not sure whether it helps, but i use cellnique skin action gel as a blemish gel too. seems to dry it and stops it from getting bigger
jessie: how much is the cellnique skin action gel?
Clinique’s Acne Solution Spot Healing Gel works for me. RM 80 for very small bottle but it lasts forever because all you need is just a really tiny amount enough to dab on the zit. The gel dries and ‘flatten’ my zits overnight.
oooo, its rm 139 for 30ml. i usually get from a supplier at rm105 or so.
u can check out this page, i’ve reviewed it earlier. its actually a gel to control sebum production and reduce black and white heads
Annie: I see…will the zit drop off by itself when it is dry?
jessie: oh this one. rm105 is a good price compared to what we pay for outside. but it is so irritating that no gel can ever melt the blackheads!
Best to stick it out for me. I personally find that facials often aggravate the skin more than do it good. But glad that it worked out for ya
wow…the facial worked so much for you!!!! your skin cleared up pretty well, so happy for you! and thanks for being such a sport posting pics of your breakouts..not everyone can do that
Tine: If it is not for those extractions at facial, i think im still stuck with the stupid pops
Nikki: yeah thank god it worked out. i cant stand looking at the pimples anymore. keep stress at bay!
I don’t know if it works for everyone but for me, when the zits dry, i can peel that thin layer of skin off and sometimes, the white head of the zit will stick to the skin and some other time, i just need to give it a little push to get it out.
I’ve only been to an extraction facial twice in my life and I never liked them
my skin scars very easily which is no fun at all! I still have the scar on my face from the last extraction
hi there! i am experiencing exactly what you are experiencing. i had a facial treatment two weeks ago and it really hurt and there are some pimples remained on my face. i am searching for a product for my pimples. these pimples are really lowering my confidence. hope you can help me fight these. thanks!
I suggest you try out our Local Obagi. I’m not a reseller or anything but this product worked miracles on my skin. My professor even praised my skin.
