Review: Eskinol

Today's review would also be a recommendation. 

However, you should always consult your doctors/dermatologist before purchasing any of these products! And I cannot stress enough that, what works on my skin, does not necessary mean that it will work on yours. It did not work on my brother and a couple of my friends.

When I became a teenager, I started having really bad breakouts and I didn't like it at all. I mean, who likes their face to have pimples all around their face? I'm sure we all want to have smooth skins. I thought of doing this review during exam period since that's when we all have the most breakouts! All the stress, lack of sleep and the junk food that we consume. I'm not gonna lie, my skin became so terrible during that period and it is still recovering. 

My mum and dad recommended me this product and it worked really good for me. This product is very very popular and I say this because when I was working in my parent's pharmacists, I see a lot of people purchasing them. What this cleanser do is basically remove the dirt from your skin and refreshes it. When I was younger, I would use this cleanser before sleep and I noticed that the cotton pad turned brown. Haha, I was so shocked to see the amount of dirt on my face. Nowadays, I would wash my face followed by my usual night skincare routine.

Just to clarify, there are also a wide variety of types and sizes that you can purchase in your pharmacy. I've only stated the types and sizes that I have. Each types have different functions.

Lemon: Helps prevent pimples.

Cucumber: Refreshes and help prevent pimples.

Avocado: Moisturizes skin.

Calamansi: Helps whiten skin and prevent pimples.

Can you guess which one is my favourite?

It's the Lemon Facial Cleanser. Most of the time, I use the Lemon and Cucumber and Facial Cleanser.

How to use?

I usually use it after washing my face and then follow on with my daily skin care routine. I pour adequate amount onto a cotton pad and wipe it around my face and neck. It makes your skin feels very refreshed especially the cucumber facial cleanser.

Most of the time, I would add medication into the cleanser to help with my pimples.

This medication is called Dalacin C and it is a prescription medication. You have to visit your doctor/dermatologist in order to purchase this medication. (Studying pharmacy is getting into me. Haha). FYI, this medication is also taken orally.

What do I think?

Likes:

• Eskinol is very cheap and effective.
• It works really well for me. Sometimes, I would soak a cotton pad with the cleanser and place it on my pimple for about 10 minutes.
• It removes excess dirt and makeup and keeps your skin clean.
• It is very easy to use - it's just one extra step in your daily skincare routine. 
• Available everywhere (in East Malaysia, not too sure in West Malaysia).
• They come in a wide variety of types that would suit you.
• Eskinol also come in different sizes which means it can be suitable to bring around when travelling.

Dislikes:

• I could tolerate the smell of the cleanser now, however, some people would complain about the sharp scent since it contains denatured alcohol.
• Like I've said, it does not work for everyone.
• Not available worldwide. I've never seen this product in Brisbane (Australia) before.
• You would need prescription for Dalacin C, so not everyone would have access to this medication.

I would continue using this product since it have been very effective on me. Just to inform you guys, I also use other products like masks and other creams, but I use Eskinol most of the time.
