Although People of all races/ages suffer with acne, unfortunately Acne leaves scars & dark marks in Asian & African skin.

You need ingredients that not only prevent Acne, but also to treat it & more importantly, clear the dark marks left by Acne.

It can take several weeks to clear the damage, depending on the severity of the condition.

For Mild acne, your Doctor or Pharmacist might prescribe creams containing:

• Benzyl peroxide
• Salicylic acid
• Sulfur
• Azaleic acid

However, their side effects are:

1. Irritate the skin.
2. Sensitive to sunlight, causing dark patches on the skin
3. Dry skin, stinging skin
4. Redness & peeling skin
5. Bleach, pillow turns yellow or white

Normally used for 6-8 weeks

For Asian & African skin, two ingredients work really well.

DIOIC ACID & NIACINAMIDE

Dioic acid not only reduces & treats acne, but it is also a skin whitener, so the dark marks left by Acne can be lightened too.

Niacinamide is an FDA approved drug for the treatment of Acne.

Both these ingredients, together with Salicylic acid are present in Acnex® cream by Pharmaclinix.

Acnex® cream is particularly effective in Asian and African skin, as this type of skin suffer with severe outbreaks, which are then left with dark marks.

The actives ingredients in Acnex® are:

• Octadecenoic Acid
• Salicylic Acid
• Niacinamide
• Cimicifuga Racemosa Root Extract
• Glycyrrhiza Glabra Extract
• Oleanolic Acid
• Enantia Chlorantha Extract
• Panthenol
• Morinda Citrifolia Fruit Extract

Would you like to know how to look after your skin in summer?

Exposure to the sun can lead to premature aging of the skin, wrinkles, marks, dry skin, and even skin cancer over time.

It is imperative that you take the right precautions & skincare routine in order to not only maintain a radiant glow, but also to reverse sun damage.

You can avoid sun damage by: 

Wear Maximum protection, sun block cream throughout the year, with more regular applications in the summer. e.g. Sun Blockex® SPF50 by Pharmaclinix®

Stay out of the sun between the hours of 10am and 3pm. The hottest part of the day during the summer causes the most damage.

Avoid tanning beds. These are also linked to cancer. Its safer to use Self- tanning lotions.

Have a minimum of 7 hours sleep. Lack of sleep can lead to increased levels of stress hormones, which may slow the production of collagen in the skin, leading to premature ageing.

Using a toner

A skin toner will keep the pores closed and keep the skin cool. You can try rose water as its natural cooling properties are excellent for summer.

Use face wash

Clean your face at least twice a day to get rid of the grime. Lightenex® Face Wash by Pharmaclinix® is excellent, as it also whitens the darkened patches.

Exfoliate your skin

You should exfoliate your skin at least twice a week to remove dead cells which may be clogging your pores and also improving blood circulation to the face. 

Moisturize your skin

Use a rich moisturizer containing Anti-oxidants & Aloe Vera to hydrate & soothe sun burnt skin.

Drink lots of water. This not only hydrates the skin, but also flushes away the toxins, which can damage all organs, especially the kidneys.


Rinse skin after swimming.

The chlorine can dry out your skin or even result in an allergic reaction.

Avoid spraying Perfume on your skin in the sun.

This can permanently stain your skin when they react with the sun.

Excessive heat is known to put the body under enormous strain causing irritability, lack of concentration, exhaustion and sleeping problem along with a number of other factors.

By following these simple steps, you will not be able to protect against sun damage, but may even be able to reverse the damage.

Eyes, your biggest asset. I have often been asked about how to remove dark circles under eyes and about the best under eye creams.

Dark circles under the eyes is a common condition and occurs due to:

• Genetics
• Sun exposure as the body responds by making more melanin
• Ageing causes thinning skin or the loss of fat and collagen, which makes the blood vessels underneath the eyes more noticeable.

The area underneath the eyes is thin and often appears darker with extra fluid retention.

• Blue under eye dark circles in colour are caused by oxygenated blood pooling beneath the under-eye skin.
• Brown under eye dark circles are caused by hyperpigmentation, which is caused by chronic eye-rubbing, sun exposure or genetics.

This is particularly common in Asian & African skin.

These dark circles are often treated using topical creams that contain stimulating ingredients that constrict blood vessels while temporarily increasing blood circulation.

The best Eye cream for Asian & African skin is Eyerix® by Pharmaclinix®.

Eyerix® is the only cream that not only reduces the bags under the eyes, but also has strong skin whiteners to help treat the hyperpigmentation or dark patches under the eye.

Eyerix is formulated specifically to lighten the skin around your eyes and helps to reduce dark circles permanently.

• Encourages production of Collagen (a skin protein) and Elastin, thereby improving the skin smoothness and elasticity, and slowing down the wrinkling process.
• Suppresses inflammatory enzymes, therefore decreasing puffiness, swelling and signs of fatigue.
• Strengthens capillaries, arteries and veins, thus reducing leakage and the blue colour underneath.
• Promotes new collagen to thicken the fragile skin under the eyes.

Apply Eyerix® cream twice daily, gently massaging in a circular motion around the eyes.

The visible effects are excellent, brightening the whole area around your eyes, often referred to as the windows to the soul!

Some home remedies, together with Eyerix® that can further help is:

1. Applying cold cucumber or chilled Tea bag on eyelids for temporary relief, as it helps increase the fluid circulation & removes the fluid that has built up.
2. Lifestyle changes e.g.

• Full night of sleep
• Stop smoking
• Sunscreen
• Allergy treatment
• Reduce Alcohol intake
• Low salt diet
• Wear a hat & sunglasses outdoors
• Wash your face with cold water
• Remove eye make up with gentle wipes

As a cosmetic measure, apply a concealer is applied in a shade that matches the skin's undertones, such as yellow or peach, and set with translucent powder.

I have often been asked of how to lighten the body.

The skin on your body is much denser than on your face.

As a Cosmetic Scientist, I have studied various skin types, and tested many of the skin lightening treatments in trials.

The conclusion was that you needed specific ingredients in a base that will actually penetrate the skin to make a real visible difference.

This is because the skin on your body is much denser than on your face and most of the herbal or “home remedies” could not get into the skin to stop the melanin formation.

Lightenex® Body Lotion is a specialist skin lightening formulation which has been specifically formulated to lighten skin, including the sensitive areas.

It is packed with 8 high strength skin lightening Actives in a conditioning moisturising formula, leaving the skin on your body with a healthy, even glow.

Its now so easy to lighten your body.

You just simply wash the body, and exfoliate it using a firm sponge, in order to remove the dead skin.

Then apply the Lightenex® Body Lotion, until fully absorbed.

Lightenex® Body Lotion is recommended by leading Dermatologists worldwide.

There are very few effective Acne treatment creams available.

Acne is more than a skin condition. It is a skin condition that affects your confidence, the way you present yourself in front of people, even the decisions you take.

80% of the population suffer with Acne sometime in their lifetime.

Most suffer during puberty, but it can erupt later in their lives too.

It’s even more difficult for Asians and Africans, as their skin is denser, and more susceptible to damage.

They usually suffer severe outbreaks and are then left with dark marks for life.

So what is the cause for acne?

Well, the bad news is it could be practically anything. Hormonal misbalance, specifically high levels of testosterone; hormonal changes during pregnancy and even some birth control pills; genetics; certain drugs - especially steroids and anti-depressants; greasy, low-quality cosmetics… You name it.

This is exactly why it’s so difficult to cure acne - with so many potential reasons for the problem, how are you supposed to find a one-size-fits-all solution? Would such thing even exist?

Well, there is a solution!

Acnex® cream developed by Pharmaclinix® is a unique acne cream that has Anti-inflammatory, antibiotic & skin whitening agents.

Its innovative formula helps to not only helps prevent acne, but treats the acne and clears the dark marks you may have from previous outbreaks.

Now, if you’ve tried some creams or products before that were supposed to be “amazing” - and for a while they probably were - but stopped working after a couple of weeks, here’s the reason: your skin gets used to the product and literally becomes immune to its effects. This won’t happen with Acnex - the ingredients in this product only enhance the natural ability of your body to fight acne. It works particularly well on Asian and African skin.

Other than being extremely effective, Acnex is also affordable and super easy to use - just apply twice daily.

Atrophic scars are sunken scars.

They are often also called ice-pick, rolling or box scars.

They were at one stage raised but most people continue to treat it like acne, not realizing that the acne has gone & they have atrophic scars.

In this situation there is no inflammation left & the scar has matured.

Atrophic Scars are:

• Shrunk
• Contracted
• Sunken
• Disfigured

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation left after Eczema, or hyperpigmentation caused by inflammation, is a type of dermatologic mark that affects the face and body.

This is usually a reaction to inflammation, especially caused by eczema.

Eczema is a syndrome, a set of clinical signs and symptoms that are common to many conditions, and may be associated with several inflammatory skin diseases. These diseases are characterized by itching (pruritus), congestive redness of the skin (erythema) and rash. If the condition is short-lived, blisters may be observed, whereas when it becomes chronic the skin may thicken. The portion of the affected skin may vary from a small area to the whole body.

• Lightenex® body lotion is excellent as it contains high strength skin Lighteners to lighten the dark patches left due to eczema flare-up.

Hyperpigmentation around the mouth is fast becoming a growing concern among people susceptible to the pigmentation condition. Though, pigmentation can affect almost any part of the human skin; but any slight appearance of its discoloration effect on the face and mouth areas make it feasible to other people. And that bring about increased concerns that most individuals don’t like.

So, what is Hyperpigmentation? It simply means the appearance of excess pigmentation on the human body. And we have dark pigmentation patches on the skin that appears in different patterns and sizes. But generally, it has been proven that knowing the cause of specific condition helps in proffering ideal solution to the issue, so this brings us to the causes of hyperpigmentation on the skin and especially around the mouth.
