Anti-Acne Skin Regimen that Works

I am very excited to share this skin regimen to you my dear readers! Let me start by saying that my battle with acne has cost me thousands of pesos and dozens of treatments. Some treatments worked as long as you regularly visit the clinic and have expensive procedures done like bi-monthly chemical peels, facials, or monthly diamond peels. It was very financially and physically frustrating.


Until I asked my dermatologist Dra. Rose Gatmaytan if she had a solution for my face. She is the same dermatologist of Caraderme clinic that made my back clear from acne. She asked if I wanted procedures but I said I was only ready to buy the medicines. She then gave me a list of her skin regimen. She had forewarned me that my skin will look red and flaky for a month.

This was my face before this skin regimen: stressed, dark, blotchy, prominent acne scars, active pimples, and bumpy.

BEFORE: with and without powder

And this is my proud face now - minimum acne scars, brighter, and clearer.
AFTER: with and without powder

The Regimen:

Morning:

1. Benzoderm Soap
2. Azelaic Acid
3. Benzomycin Gel
4. Parsol Gel

Evening:

1. Benzoderm Soap
2. Astrimycin Toner
3. Requinol A
4. Requinol B
5. Acne Cystisol
6. Acnelyt

Total damage: Php 2,500 + /-
Appointment/consultation fee: Php 500

Most of the medicines like the gels and Requinol A need to be refrigerated for them not to lose their potency. Again, if you will start this regimen make sure that you can afford to have a red peeling face for one whole month, give around 2 more weeks allowance. The peeling stage can get ugly and it is best to skip make up or it might irritate the new layer of skin. This is the hardest and most embarrassing stage but is well worth it if you want to end your skin problems once and for all.

You will be given an instruction sheet to follow by the dermatologist if you choose to go to Caraderme. If not, ask your own dermatologist if she has these medicines in stock and if it is suitable for your skin condition.

During the first few weeks, the medicine will feel very stingy or itchy - it is best to apply it in front of an electric fan (the things we do for beauty). After your skin has peeled and normalized to its new beautiful condition the medicines will not sting anymore.


Of course you have to get enough sleep, drink plenty of water, and relax to avoid getting break outs. If a bump appears, just put a cotton with acne cystisol on top of the pimple and let dry for 15-30 minutes. Top with acnelyt and the next day, it is visibly smaller.

Bacne, Pimple, and Dark Underarm Solutions

During summer, more skin is naturally exposed because of the hot weather and to enjoy summer fashion or just being comfortable during this season, good if not perfect skin is a must.

Readers and friends ask me about bacne, pimple and dark underarm solutions frequently and just to recap here are the solutions I found effective - really effective!

Back Acne: Body Cream from Caraderme Clinic. Although you have to do this 2 months before summer so your skin can fully recover and peel. This is the only solution that banished my back acne that haunted me since elementary. When new bumps appear, just reapply the body cream or redo the process all over again.

Pimples: If you want to make one huge pimple disappear and stop ruining your photos, try having your pimple injected by your dermatologist. I will share my regimen for the face on another post. Again, I am not flawless but I have suffered from acne since birth and I feel the frustration of those who suffer from acne too.

Dark Underams: Underarm Peeling Treatment and Maintainence
Raising your hand is never embarrassing again if you can finally lighten your dark armpits. Many Asian women suffer from this maybe because of deodorants, shaving, or simply genetics. This worked for me and I hope it would work for you too. Finding a good dermatologist really solves all skin problems! It feels very liberating to wear sleeveless blouses with no problems or concerns about dark underarms.

Caraderme Clinic

It doesn't hurt to become beautiful but sometimes, stress takes it toll on us and overtime work creates skin damage you wouldn't have imagined! Finding a great dermatologist who can make miracles happen that won't wipe out your wallet is hard. Well, I suggest that you try Dra. Gatmaytan of Caraderme Clinic.

Caraderme Clinic at Makati

The first time I heard of Dra. Gatmaytan and her Caraderme clinic was in GirlTalk forum. A lot of women are raving on how Dra. Gatmaytan improved their skin, mostly their backs that have suffered from acne.

Some creams from Caraderme, including the Body Cream which should be stored inside the refrigerator to keep them cold.

Who wouldn't rejoice at the fact that after 4 weeks, you'll get your own sexy back that you can show off on the beach? I myself have tried it and it's like a miracle.

Dra. Gatmaytan also offers other services such as Diamond Peels, Chemical Peels, Face Cleaning, and everything else for a beautiful new you.

Right now, I am trying her face treatment that makes your face red and cause peeling for about 2 weeks. Caraderme has a website at Caraderme.com the complete list of services and prices are published here, together with their contact details. In Caraderme, you don't have to fall in line or wait for hours, you have to call for an appointment and come on time.
