This is actually not about me but about my brother. I guess he’s in a panic coz lately he’s been having acne breakouts. First things first, my brother is more vain than me (and yes he is gay and I’m fine with that..) so while I usually don’t care when I grow zit or something coz I know it’ll just grow bored staying on my face for long periods of time and would most likely take itself someplace after sometime, so I don’t worry. Not my brother though. He seriously freaks out when he sees more than two pieces of acne on his face and wouldn’t stop bugging us to recommend something to make it go away.

Duh!? Anyway, I took pity on him and proceeded to do some research. I had my reasons too, I wanted to know what’s the latest products on skin care in the market today. I usually just stick to products that complement my skin and I’ve tried and tested so I don’t keep abreast with the latest trends in skin care. So I was a bit surprised by the sheer number of products and new technology available now just for acne treatment. There’s light and laser therapy, the chemical free pronexin treatment, steroid injections, chemical peels, microdermabrasion among others.

I also took a look at the latest acne skin care products and here’s some I found worth checking out..

I guess I got a little lost on the sea of available products for acne now. I’ll do a little more exploring on that..
