The weather has been so hot lately that pimples are popping out like no body’s business. I have been keeping these three Oxy products for the emergency days and it seems like the days is NOW. My skincare routine is so complicated that when I was handed just three products for a pimple free skin, you bet I froze. I did not know what to do with simplified skincare routine. Lucky for me, this is not rocket science and the result has been good so far.

Combating a breakout regardless a minor or major breakout can be simple. First you need to figure out the right facial wash, spot treatment cream, and lastly pimple mark prevention. The last step can either be achieved with a whitening cream or a special product like the below.

Deep Cleansing Wash (RM8.50 / 50g or RM13.90 / 100g)

I have talked about numerous Oxy cleansing wash before and so far each of it has been kind to my skin, without over-drying it. Some anti-pimple facial wash can be a little too drying when used for a duration of time. This one? It does not do all that. Deep Cleansing Wash contain Isopropyl Methylphenol and Salicylic Acid to help remove dead skin cells and to remove impurities from the pores. Unclogging the pores will help to prevent pimples.

OXY 10 (RM11.50 / 10g or RM19.90 / 25g)

I remember during my high school days I love Oxy pimple cream. Those days there are just one variant from OXY and if I remember correctly it is in brown colour. The OXY 10 helps to kill acne bacteria without drying the spot like other pimple treatment product. The cream is light-weight, comes in a milk white shade, and it does not have any chemical strong scent. It took me about two applications (or 2 nights) to get the pimple fully subsided. What I like about this OXY 10 is that it does not force the gunk to surface up. Usually in this case extraction is needed to get the pimple to go down. To my surprise, my pimples subsided without any extraction needed!

Anti-Pimple Mark (RM14.80 / 12g)

I have reviewed the Anti-Pimple Mark Gel and talked about it so many times on my Instagram so I am not going in detail with this. Just click on the link to read my review . This is the one product which I have repurchased about 10 times by now. It is a product not only used to lighten pimple marks but also to smoothen skin, prevent future blemishes and revitalizes skin cells. I also found out that this gel can be used on top OXY 10. More reasons to love this gel more.

Combating a breakout should not be complicated or expensive. Even affordable and trusted brand such as OXY works as well

I love love love cleanser. And I love drugstore cleanser especially the one from Oxy. Just earlier this month Oxy came out with a HOT PINK new cleanser. The Oxy Ultimate Cleanser is a 8-in-1 multi-action cleanser for acne, blackhead, and oily skin. Phew! That is one hella lot claims Oxy!

I was excited when I get this from the mail. First of all, the hot pink. I know, silly me. But you know pink and white is like my most favourite colour . And Oxy is a known brand for problematic skin. Recently I have been getting bumps and breakouts, which I have no idea what causes it. So this cleanser came at the right time.

The most common skin problems especially for us in a hot and humid country are oily skin, acne, and blackheads. Having an oily skin alone cause trigger other skin problems such as pimples, acnes, and blackheads. That is why Oxy came out with this Ultimate Cleanser. It is a 8-in-1 Multi-Action Cleanser that claimed to clear, fresh, and give blemish-free skin with 8 multiple functions.

What are the 8 multiple functions? Are you ready? This is a lot to digest. Even for me lol.

1. Fight pimples – with Isopropyl Methylphenol, and anti-bacterial properties.
2. Anti-blackheads – by removing dead skin cells and trapped dirts.
3. Unclog pores – unclogging pores by penetrating deep down.
4. Removes excess oil – cleanse dirt and remove excess sebum which causes pimples by penetrating deep into the pores.
5. Deep cleanses – cleanses the skin gently to clear pimple-causing impurities.
6. Moisturizes skin – with Sage Extract, Seaweed Extract, and Olive Oil to prevent dryness.
7. Soothes skin – with Dipotassium Glycyrrhiznate to soothes irritated skin.
8. Refreshes skin – with menthol for instant cooling sensation.

The cleanser comes in a semi-hard texture, very easy to squeeze out from the soft tube. It does not contain any smell at all, which surprises me.

Oxy Ultimate Cleanser foams up pretty well. It is just nice and not too foamy. I certainly did not expect the cleanser to contain menthol so I was literally shocked to wake up in the morning when I used the cleanser for the first time haha! The cooling sensation only kicks in on full force during rinsing. I was in a semi-wake state at that time and I thought what happened to my face. Thank goodness my eyes were shut tightly as I can feel the menthol on my lid. So my advice when using this cleanser is to be aware not to let any water or foam seeps into the corner of your eyes. After using this cleanser for the next consecutive days, I actually like it very much. I am not so much of a minty or menthol person but this cleanser is the first cooling cleanser I have used and I like it. I loveeee the “wake me up” cooling sensation it gave to my skin. It is definitely refreshing to use.

My journey with Oxy started during school days. I still remember Oxy pimple cream is like a must-have for all of us in the school because it is the only brand that has a pimple cream. The pimple cream back then is not the same as what you see now. It’s a little bit yucky now that I think of it. The funny thing is, we never thought of buying the facial wash and so on. Just name Oxy and pimple cream popped out!

The post Oxy Acnoplex Formula Range: Combat acne for clear, smooth, healthy skin with 4-in-1 targeted acne solution + Giveaway appeared first on Street Love. by Fiona

If you remember, all these years we can only find Nexcare Acne Patch at the local drugstore until another brand, Miacare came out with acne patch for day and night end of last year. This year Oxy too came out with their own version of acne patch! Introducing Oxy Acti-Bacterial Acne Patch

This Oxy Anti-Bacterial Acne Patch came just in time as I’ve given my brother all the acne patches I have and I was left with none. My skin has been acting up lately probably due to hormonal changes and the hot weather. I was having a good skin for weeks until a week ago. Sigh. I do find acne patches to be extremely hassle-free to use and this new product from Oxy comes with anti-bacterial formula that is proven by the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company, SGS to be effectively inhibit acne bacteria and for it’s strong ability to absorb secretion from the acne.

If you ask me what’s so different with this acne patch comparing to Nexcare or Miacare. It looks the same as other brands but wait, there’s a distinctive difference. Each pack of Oxy Anti-Bacterial Acne Patch comes with 26 pieces of acne patches and a mini plastic tweezer! The amount of patches is nearly double of what others is offering and the tweezer? It’s a great idea indeed!

What I like about this Oxy one is that their patches is protected with a clear plastic cover front and back AND everything is then sealed in a main bag. Each bag remains fresh regardless if the box is opened or not. Each box comes with three different patch sizes – 16 pieces of 0.8mm, 5 pieces of 1.0mm and 5 pieces of 1.2mm. These patches is made with medical grade hydrocolloid dressing that makes it effective in absorbing oil and pus inside pimples like an absorbing sponge. I also find that the patches are thinner than Nexcare and slightly thicker than Miacare. It is 0.03cm ultra-thin with translucent color that is close to skin color.

At first I thought the mini tweezer is really unnecessary. Who would have the time to use a tweezer to peel from the clear plastic right? Since it’s included in the box already I thought I’d give it a try. After using it for the first time, I can understand why a tweezer is included and why you should use it to peel the acne patch.

I’ve used Nexcare for quite some time now and the only problem I have with it is that it’s too thick and it can’t be used on day time as it’s going to be very visible. Thick means it doesn’t stick well onto the skin especially bumpy surface like the chin or jawline. Then Miacare came along. It’s uber thin but doesn’t stick down all the way due to the finger print from the peeling. I’m not a fan of theirs due to the day and night patches. Honestly I don’t have the time to differentiate which is for day and which is for night. I prefer simplicity. Oxy Anti-Bacterial Acne Patch on the other hand is what I think is in between Nexcare and Miacare. The thickness is just right, the shade is perfect and the adhesive is superb. Having an ultra-thin sheet at 0.03cm means I bound to have the same problem as Miacare if I were to use my finger to peel the patch off from the plastic. That is when the tweezer come to a good use. The pointy tip ensure that I can easily grip on the edge of the acne patch properly and stick it on problematic area in one go. Having to grip the patch with the tweezer also ensure that I can pinpoint for the correct angle and placement of the patch on the skin.

Now comes the most important part of the review. The test. The pimples I have on my face is too small for my experiment. Then something happened. I have a hugeeeeee acne on my neckline. Perfect timing lol. I used the 1.0cm patch on the acne in the afternoon and carry on with my day. In real the patch is not really visible. I have to give credit on the adhesive because I sweat a lot that day and it still remain in place. I have been touching it with my fingers a lot to ensure the patch is still there and that thing just doesn’t budge a bit. Not bad eh. Oh and Oxy said it comes with UV protection to prevent the sun’s UV from aggravating the inflamed acne. Okay, that’s weird and something new but it’s good to have

This is the result after a few hours. What used to be a headless acne that is so stubborn to be popped is now defeated by Oxy Anti-Bacterial Acne Patch. I didn’t managed to snap a ‘before’ photo because it is so painful that I couldn’t wait to get rid of it. The size of the acne was reduced by 80% after I removed the patch.

So, if you ask me what is so special about this acne patch, I can tell you it is ultra-thin with skin-like color, the adhesive is able to withstand water and sweat, it comes with UV protection, it comes with double action formula of anti-bacterial + absorbs oil, it’s proven by world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company, it’s made with medical grade hydrocolloid dressing, it’s sterile and it comes with a total of 26 pieces of acne patches in three sizes. Let’s not forget it comes with a cute mini tweezer
