This is the one I bought- Unclogging exfoliating gel. It contains salicylic acid and micro beads. So I thought I would try it since it has what I want (not just a scrub) and micro beads are supposed to be small so it shouldn't be too rough. The first and second time I used it, I really felt my face becoming clearer and smoother. But then the second day after I used it for the third time, it was brought to my notice that my pores got significantly larger! It's effective in terms of cleaning but the beads is a huge problem. I only used it once very week but my pores are already visible from an arm's length. Gosh.
Then I got to know H2O+. They have this scrub that has beads that are really small, it really felt much better with their scrub. Unfortunately, it does not not have BHA in it. But this will do until I find one with BHA that suits me. It's really important to at least cleanse the face with a scrub once a week especially for acne-prone people. Because it can at least allow the face to be less congested. I've got a list of BHA products from various brands that I want to try, hopefully I would get it right on my first try. HAHA.
Oh by the way, H2O+ recommends the purple series for oily/acne prone skin.
(This is just a photo I found online, I don't think in Singapore they have this many products from this series. They only brought in a few.)
And the scrub I use is from this purple series. They have specific names for each series that they have but they also colour code it, makes it easier to remember, haha! I use their toner too, I could feel that my skin is visibly less oily. Because really, 4 or 6 hours later, my face really SHINES. When taking photos, omg, my cheeks and chin stand out the most. I always have to edit the photo in a way that my face shine less but the other people in the photo will have their complexion altered... usually in a weird way....
