#Review# Acnes Medicated Skincare

by

Ever been in a situation where you need immediate attention to get rid of that painful bump on the skin?

I am referring to mini breakouts, pimple and acnes!

I do recommend Acnes Medicated Skincare from Mentholatum. My bf and myself have tried them a year ago and it’s not bad in getting rid of those irritating bumps.

There’s this twin pack which has been launched for quite some time, consists of a creamy facial wash and a sealing gel for acne-prone skin.

I will say the creamy facial wash is just like a maintenance, to be used regularly, while the sealing gel acts like an emergency first aider to fix those bumps.

Mentholatum Acnes Sealing Jell

Do not try to tear off the silver seal. What we need is just a small amount for application, tearing off the silver seal will end up dispensing excess gel, causing wastage.

Instead, turn the cap and twist onto the silver seal. The cap will poke into the seal to allow a small opening for dispensing.

I normally use it after squeezing out (though not recommended) the pimples and dirt if the pimples are small. I’ll then apply the sealing jell on the affected area and leave it on overnight. It helps to kill the bacteria from deep inside of pores.

For acnes, I don’t squeeze unless it’s almost fully ripen. Usually I will dab over the acnes spot a few times a day. It takes a few days for the acne to be subsided.

Mentholatum Acnes Sealing Jell basically acts as a medical care for pimples and acnes. It’s not about squeezing the bumps.

Mentholatum Acnes Creamy Wash

It’s basically a facial wash, helps to remove excess oil, dirt and impurities. Our skin tends to product natural oil sebum, but if there’s an excess in the production, acnes and pimples start to form. Regular use of a proper facial helps keep acnes at bay.

It contains Vitamin C to retain skin’s moisture, keeping it soft and moisturized after cleansing.

Also contains Vitamin E (anti-oxidant), to maintain skin’s elasticity.

Just need to lather the creamy wash with water and massage gently onto face, followed by a rinse.

Very easy to lather. My dry surface cheeks don’t feel dry after cleansing. Skin feels clean and moisturized.

Pricing and Availability

Mentholatum Acnes Sealing Jell is retailing at S$8.90.

Mentholatum Acnes Creamy Wash is retailing at S$6.90.

Available at pharmacies and convenient stores.

Get Confidence with Clear Skin, with Acnes Medicated Skincare

by

Mentholatum Acnes Medicated Skincare is the number 1 Antibacterial Skin Care Brand in Japan. It is a proven effective Medicated Skin Care, targeted for teenagers and young adults who are facing skin issue on acne.

Acne breakouts due to overproduction in oil sebum on the face. During Adolescences stage (puberty), the hormones in the young people are pretty active, and the skin tends produce alot of oil sebum onto the skin’s surface.

High production of oil sebum will mean high chances of breaking out from acnes and pimples.

With so much oil sebums and dirts from the surrounding air, acnes and pimples are easily formed. Without proper care, acnes and pimples may form scar on the face. This is going to affect the confidence level in every individual.

Mentholatum Acnes Medicated Skincare has a suitable Acne Skincare regimen can help to solve these acne/pimple problems, bringing back the confidence level to the young people!

When comes to acne, last minute acne-care is not going to help much, even if it helps, the results may take a long time to reveal.

For those with acne-prone skin, regular acne-care is strongly recommended. A proper acne skincare regimen will include a cleanser, toner and a moisturizer. on top of that, keeping a acne gel at all times to further “kill” or prevent any “upcoming” acne.

Thanks to The Sample Store and Mentholatum, I am sponsored a twin pack which consists of a cleanser and an acne gel to try out.

Inside this pack are 1 tube Sealing Gel and 1tube  Creamy Wash, both are specially medicated skincare, targeting on acne and oily skin.

A must-have item to combat acne, will be the cleanser!

This is the Creamy Wash from the Acnes Skincare range.

Leakage-proof packaging, messy-free when squeezing out the cleanser.

I don’t feel it as a creamy wash, it’s somewhere between creamy and gel-like texture. Quite similar to those foam cleanser texture, but it is not as soft as that. Very easy to lather.

Apply  moderate amount on damped palms, follow by some lathering on the face. I have tried it, the cleanser works well on dry face!

Do not be overwhelmed by my photo below which shows the foams created during lathering. The white patch on my skin is not bump or roughness, it is the foam created during lathering.

The foams are not alot as compared to most foaming cleanser. This is important because some foaming cleansers may dry up the skin.

Yes, for acne-prone/oily skin, they need the foaming cleanser to remove the oil and dirts, but remember, we also won’t want our skin to be dried up after a long-term use. This is why I feel Creamy Wash is “killing two birds with one stone”. It acts like a foam cleanser but at the same time it is less harsh to the skin by not drying it too much.

In terms of fragrance, yes, I do smell something from this cleanser. But it’s neither floral not sweet scent. It’s just something that smells cooling, refreshing and light. No scent of medication at all.

After lathering, rinsing the face is the next step of course! I enjoy my rinsing session the most! Just a few splashes of water onto my foamy face, the foams and soapy feel are gone!

My face feels fresh and clean, smooth and soft after cleansing it with Creamy Wash.

Next, it is this ACNES medicated Sealing Gel.

Comes in a very slim tube, with tightening cap to prevent leakage.

Squeeze out the appropriate amount and apply on the targeted area.

Massage around the acne area and follow by some dabbing to ensure the sealing gel has been absorbed into the skin.

It leaves a matte and non-sticky finish on the target area, skin feels a cooling sensation.

The application area feels good! Just one-time application, it is not enough to diminish the acne. Gota apply regularly till the acne has subsided.

For those who have serious acne-prone skin, Acnes Medicated Skincare has a full skincare range to help you prevent & clear your pimples!
Seems to me that in terms of drugstore brands,Mentholatum Acne Skincare is the only one with such full range of products targeting on acne! There’s even a clay mask inside the range?!

ღ ACNES Blogger Campaign – Hamper ღ

Collected my hamper today at the Fr3b office.
yep, this is the hamper which i blogged about few days ago.
it consisted of one full sized ACNES Creamy Wash, a notebook and an album from 大风吹.
i think that is the band from some chinese singing competition sometime ago?
haaz, i seldom watch the tv shows, so am not very sure.

oh well, anyway, i will be using this product for a month and see how my face will become.
i have been having a few pumps on my temper recently, must by the fringe!!
i hope for no pimples for the coming month!

09 Nov 2009 Here’s my review!
when i started using it, one pimple appeared on my face immediately, quite a big one, almost like an acne.
i still carried on using the cleanser and its size was reduced after subsequent days.
till now, no breakouts yet! (touchwood)

so many samples to be redeemed for free!
