The Fight Against Blemishes

Clear and unblemished skin has always been a dream of mine.


My skin has always been problematic since my JC days, with zits which popped up on a regular basis and leaving scars which refuse to go away for months on end. Sharing from my personal experience, having troubled skin can really affect one's confidence level to a great extent. I used to really hate looking into mirrors because of the numerous angry red bumps which did not subside no matter what I did back then.

The bad skin condition back then was probably due to a combination of lifestyle habits and genetics. Some skincare and makeup products I used also contributed to it because my skin was so sensitive and every little thing can trigger breakouts.

I'm happy to say that it has since improved after many visits (which meant that I spent a bomb!) to the dermatologists.

However, even until now, my skin has yet to achieve that blemish-free state which I'm still working really hard towards.

Recently went to the dermatologist and got myself started on Roaccutane, which is meant to reduce the body's natural oil production - one of the main reasons why my skin gets breakouts. 


At the same time, I was also actively on the lookout for skincare products with a track record of being able to prevent breakouts effectively. More specifically, skincare products which are gentle in nature, and not prone to further aggravating the troubled condition of my skin.

I've heard of the Eucerin brand even before I was engaged for this campaign to share about this DermoPURIFYER range. You would have probably noticed this brand as well, when you were making your rounds at Watsons and Guardian.

Eucerin is one of the leading dermocosmetic brands in America and Europe that develops products for different skin needs.

Their products under the DermoPURIFYER range mainly focus on combating acne issues. Acne usually stems from several root causes such as excess sebum, formation of comedones, abnormal growth o bacteria and inflammation. Eucerin has successfully formulated their products to address those causes.

Like I said, my skin is slightly sensitive and hence I am always discerning when it comes to picking the right products for my skin. Used these products for a while before I decided to blog about them because I would only want to share if they work well for me.

They complement my existing skincare regime well and also independently.
On days when I'm too tired to pile on 358236214749 skincare products before bed,
this simple 4-step regime is the bare minimal I abide by.

DermoPURIFYER Make-up And Acne Remover 

Removing the makeup after a long day is a MUST for me.
I can never rest easy if I know that make-up is not cleansed off in entirety.
I like how this light cleansing fluid effectively removes all traces of gunk of the face and leaves a faint refreshing sensation after.

DermoPURIFYER Cleanser and Toner

My skin generally feels clean and supple after using the cleanser and toner - zero traces of make-up residue after these 2 steps!

DermoPURIFYER Active Concentrate

This is my favourite product from the range which I was sent. What I like best about it is that it is oil- and preservative-free, which serves acne prone skin well because you wouldn't want something which aggravates the skin.

It is lightweight and non sticky in texture, which gets absorbed into the skin in no time at all. This makes it ideal to be incorporated into my already fussy regime.

After application of a week or so, I noticed that the blemishes on my skin were clearing up slightly faster and there was less build-up of sebum throughout the day.

Although I wouldn't say that this product can entirely solve the issue of acne,
but it can certainly act as a preventive measure against breakouts with prolonged usage and a well thought out skincare regime which complements.
