Skin Cream in Japan

Posted by Yuka as Other

Well, I bought some Oxy Oil Control Gel (as below but Chinese one not Japanese - I grabbed this photo from the Internet)

I bought it in one of the many Watson’s in Beijing.( like the shop below)

Well, I’m cautiously optimistic that this stuff is doing my skin good. My skin overproduces oil which causes my nasty sebaceous spots particularly on the back of my neck and the front of my torso). This stuff is good though. It gets to work fast. It’s like an acid. It really burns into those spots. It quickly soaks into the skin, burning away the moist, maddening red spots and leaving, in short order, a scab where the moist live spot was. Great stuff. Western medicine, I think. Often I like western medicine. It gets to work fast, gets the job done fast. Chinese medicine is good in theory. For example, the idea that Chinese medicine can remedy spots on the skin by killing bacteria in the intestines.. Ingenious!! I’m sure it works but it takes more time and patience. I’m just not a very patient guy sometimes. Anyway, I’m not saying that this stuff has resolutely solved this problem forever but I think I’ve made a good selection. It really burns into the skin and attacks the problem. I like this. I’m not looking for some slow-coach medicine, that’ll take an eternity.
So, I give this cream a cautious but encouraging 6/10..
