I am an Oxy girl

In case you're wondering, no this is not an advertisement. I've gone through different skin phases in my life (thanks to girl hormones). There were times when I could use almost any skincare or none and it had little effect on me.

But there were times and the most recent was 4 years ago when nothing seemed to work. I tried almost every brand you could think of including the convincingly advertised and may I add, expensive SKII. Best for Asian skin. I'm Asian so it must work. What a sucker for advertising I was (ok ok..unashamedly still am!)

Unfortunately or fortunately for me, it didn't work and my skin took a turn for the worst. Red faced and pimples that looked like they were about to burst.

So....maybe I'm not Asian...haha (I checked with my mom again to be sure I'm not pan-asian or something!)

One fine day (and probably because I kept complaining), my eldest son said - referring to the display shelf at the pharmacy, "Ma, why don't you try Oxy. It says that it is suitable for acne-prone skin" (sigh..sucker for advertising inherited apparently)

But I did and it worked. Amaze-balls. So I've been a user since. It was RM9.90 per tube and now RM12.90. I use this fact to convince my husband how lucky he is that I'm 'low maintenance' in-this-department (especially when I'm justifying a bag purchase!)

Being the soul that I am though, I am restless with routine. Occasionally, I would try new brands and I end up going back to good ol trusted Oxy. Today was one of those days so here goes. I'll let you know.....
