I have a confession to make. When you see my pictures, you may believe that I have quite good skin. In fact, that isn't quite true. While, I don't have horrible skin... I have naughty skin.
My skin likes to mess with my sanity. Growing up, I did not generally have pimples. Then in college, my skin decides to have a damn zit party. Being the vain pot that I am, seeing pimples on my face was totally disturbing. It felt like the freaking end of the world. I felt like every time anyone spoke to me they were speaking to Pimple #7 on my chin. Anyway, through Dalacin-T and a calming mask (now no longer in production) the outbreak was contained and tamed for a few years.... UNTIL NOW!!!
A couple of months back marked the return of the zits and boy, oh boy... they were back with a vengeance. There was blood, tears and pus. I was at my wit's end. Dalacin-T was not working its magic. Then Eva (god bless her) recommended Dermedex and this product has been keeping me sane!
My face is not spotless, but its a marked improvement. My t-zone is now oil-managed. And the zits are not so angry anymore.
Now, I'm sure you might be tempted to google Dermedex and you will come across the steroids scandal. This is where I am completely torn. Can this product that's helping me out be a trojan horse as well?
But it does seems that the illegal ingredient has been removed and the product has been repackaged. I am still cautiously using the Skeptic Challenge Pack which in turn, ironically carries a cautionary note to users: "You may fall in love with this product. Do not be surprised to see results on first application".
Sigh, can I be naive and claim that ignorance is bliss? :(

owh, i forgot to update you...i asked my friend about the product. she said they did send out a notice to recall one of the old batches. apparently that was an old story, and the new batches are safe to use. if not mistaken, it has been improved since the recall to meet international standards and is available in singapore today. she said some people get certain reactions to it when they mix the product with other products which may not go well together. so far, i have no problems with it, but i guess if you have any sudden reactions to it you should see a doctor/dermatologist. good luck with the zits...may all our zits be forever banished!
