My Skin Care Journey with DRx #9

Update on 8 May 2017: 

It has been more than 3 years since I last visited DRx clinic. Those who read this post or wrote in to ask about DRx would know that I am no longer visiting DRx clinic. In addition, posts #1 to 8 were removed as requested by Ministry of Health (MOH) as DRx Clinic is not allowed to do such forms of advertising which I was unaware of.

Hello all! I'm back with another post for DRx Clinic.

I've been with DRx for more than a year.

And this post will be my last post for DRx Clinic!

It has been a year long journey with them...

Here is a summary

of my full skin care journey with DRx!

♥♥♥

<before and after photos removed due to regulations on sponsored clinic reviews>

After a year with DRx, my skin did improve,  

I used have frequent breakouts last time but no longer have them as frequently now, 

also my skin color is a lot lighter and more even (not as much redness already).

BUT Okays I know some of you will compare with my previous post

and say that my skin was better in post #8.

Why the sudden breakout in my recent photo?

There is an explanation for it :/ Long story. But to cut the long story short...

I went to HK, skin became dry skin due to the weather there,

I ran out of my DRx products too and they took a month before giving me an appointment.

I finally got an appointment at DRx on Valentine's day but it was a little too late.

Currently back to using their products!

♥♥♥

Here is my updated list of products! :)

I'm suppose to use BC (Blemish Cleanser) 

but they say it has been out of stock for 3 months and still not in stock yet. 

So they changed it to No.1 (Foaming Cleanser) for me.

ASL is still not in stock so I got BG instead. 

I prefer ASL to BG though. BG seems too drying for my skin. 

My skin always end up peeling after using it :( 

It has been almost half a year since they ran out of the product.

This time I'm prescribed to take a medicine to control oil. 

I've never taken any medicine at DRx in the past. 

Not much side effects except Dizziness. 

I tried the pills and it did make me drowsy. 

It's stated on it too. I'm told to take two in the morning and two at night. 

I have to go to school in the morning and I don't think I can keep taking this pill :(

Also, I was asked me to use the AB Gel again. 

It's for photo damaged skin. 

If you read my past posts, I was told to use AB Gel at the start. 

But somewhere in-between, I was told to stop using it cause my skin became better. 

Now I need to use it again! I guess this means that my skin became worse :(

And one last thing hahas. Number 3 and 4 are removed from my routine. 

They are meant for lightening.

The rest of the products are the same but it is just back to basics to control my acne again. 

I bold the changes so you all know the exact changes in my routine :)

♥♥♥

On a side note, since I no longer blog for DRx,
I might not be able to answer anymore DRx questions.

That's all for this post! :)

DRx Clinic Luncheon

DRx Clinic luncheon at Hilton Hotel!

This happened before the Carlo Rino and Bobbi Brown event.
I thought I had the draft scheduled but...
it turns out that I left it as a draft and wasn't scheduled.
So here is the post!

♥♥♥

First thing. Limo cabs were arranged to pick up us at our house!
How awesome is that? Most thoughtful event ever!

Their service was super good.

When the cab arrived, the driver sms-ed me.

Then the driver was waiting outside the car to open the door for me!

Must camwhore in the cab!

Btw, I still think S4 has a horrible front camera :(

I didn't bring my GF6 out that day~

After an awesome ride, we arrived at Hilton Singapore.

I reached first, followed by Ying Jie and Jocelyn.

The 3 of us planned to meet at the lobby and go up to level 24 together :)

The restaurant name is called il Cielo, on level 24.

Dr Tan said it means heaven in italian :)

They have a nice outdoor pool. We didn't go out to take photos though :(

We were arranged to sit with our doctors!

Yingjie, Joey and I were all patients under Dr David so the three of us sat together! Yay!

Dr David sat opposite me, joey was on my left and the legendary Dr Tan was on my right.

Dr Tan is the director of DRx clinic, also the one who cured my friend's acne.

My friend totally don't look like he had have acne problems before!

So we were all chatting and chatting and having good food! :)

Here's the menu:
Pan Seared Foie Gras, Truffle Polenta Caramelized Apple Wine Reduction
Blueberry S Porcini Mushroom Risotto
Pecorino Crusted Sea Bass, Saffron Sauce
or
Balsamic Honey Marinated Baby Chicken, Purple Mashed Potatoes
Tiramisu il Cielo, Mascarpone Ice Cream

 Bread to start! :)

Pan Seared Foie Gras, Truffle Polenta Caramelized Apple Wine Reduction

Foie Gras is goose liver right? First time having it :)
It had the pig liver taste though. So conclude all liver have similar taste? lols.

Blueberry S Porcini Mushroom Risotto

I don't know how risotto is supposed to look like.
But I thought this looked like ravioli?
Guess they changed the menu for this dish ;)

Pecorino Crusted Sea Bass, Saffron Sauce

I chose the fish and the serving of the fish was huge!

I was feeling bloated by the time I had the fish.

Didn't eat the vege though cause they are all green and yellow peppers!

Dr Tan saw and he was like "If I am your dad, I will ask you why you didn't eat your vege." hahahas.

Next up, is our "main course" lols.

Cause everyone was looking forward to eating it.

The name sounds delicious enough hahas.

Tiramisu il Cielo, Mascarpone Ice Cream

Kill me please. I couldn't finish it cause I was too full by then.

I think my table all small eaters? All couldn't finish our dessert!

The other table cleared every single thing!

When you have a pretty dessert, you have to take a selca with it first! =P

Done eating, everyone just hang around to talk :)

As for us... we spam photos hahahas.

Photo with Joey, Yingjie, Chester and Doctor David (photo from Joey)

Chester is marketing in charge of DRx Clinic.

He's the one who has been helping us arrange all our appointments!
And he's also the one who has been answering all your DRx related questions!

He's leaving DRx already though. So this is sort of like his farewell lunch too? :(

Chester, thank you for arranging this luncheon and for sponsoring me DRx stuffs all these while!
My skin is now a lot better all thanks to you and DRx clinic!

All the best for your future endeavors!

P.S My face is alot alot sharper in this photo thanks to Yingjie.
She edited it for me :) I was too busy to edit any photos. Posted everything without editing.

Then time more photo spams :)

Selca, selca and more selcas hahahas.

Whoever is in the middle will look the skinniest!

Hahahas think there is some fish eye effect due to the lens.

Then selcas with Jocelyn, photo taken from her.

This photo and the next were both taken from Jocelyn :)

Outfit of The Day

Dress: Abercrombie & Fitch

Clutch bag: Dorothy Perkins

Wedges: Kiyo

Goodies for the day!
Tried the facial mask and I think they are meant for hydrating? :)
And we received the Skin Supplement SS too!
Heard that it's really good. It's like a sunblock pill!
Definitely useful for Singaporeans since the sun is mad burning here.

That's all for this post! :)

Was really nice to be able to catch up with the rest!

We don't often have such events where we just go, sit there and chat one.
