Acne Solution: Dalacin T 痘痘的克星：达拉辛T

Dalacin T, gel form in a tube (30g) and liquid form in a bottle (30ml).
达拉辛T，凝胶状（管装30克），液体状（瓶装30毫升）。

I have acne prone skin, especially when my menstrual cycle is approaching. I always do my best to reduce its size, dry it up and speed up the recovery of my acne and its scars or marks. However, the process takes long time. My acne needs about 3 weeks to dry up and its scars or marks need months to fade, not to mention if the obvious indented acne scars are permanent unless I burn a hole to my own pocket for an (or a few, or many?) expensive aesthetic treatment.
我有容易长痘痘的皮肤,尤其是每个月“荷尔蒙比较不稳定”的期间。 我总是想尽办法让它尽快缩小，干透，以便减低粉刺／暗疮对我皮肤所造成的伤害／疤痕。 但是，这个过程需要很长的时间。 我的痘痘需要大约3个星期才能缩小，它所留下的疤痕有时需要数月才能消退，更何况明显的痤疮疤痕（“坑坑洞洞”）是永久性的，除非我有多余的钱去做一次（或几次，或很多次？）昂贵有效的美肤护理。

My confidence always affected, especially covering it up with cosmetic can not really help. My self-esteem is even worse when I have to take photos. Taking a photo with excessive touch up is not my cup of tea.
我的自信心总是受到影响，特别是当化妆品并不能起到完全遮盖痘痘或疤痕的时候。当我不得不拍照时，我变得更加自卑了。 我不是一个很喜欢修饰照片的人，那很假。

I decided to visit a doctor. I went to a general practitioner and told her about my concern. The doctor recommended me liquid type Dalacin T. She mentioned that my condition was not severe. In order to stop having scarring, I need to "stop" having acne in the first place. Her statement made sense. Without doing so, I was like always fighting a losing battle! This is sooooooo true.
我决定去看医生。 我并没有找皮肤专科，我只找了百科医生。 医生建议我使用达拉辛T。她说我的状况并不严重。 为了阻止疤痕的产生，我首先需要避免痘痘的形成。 她说的很有道理。 如果不这么做，我就像在打一场注定会失败的仗！ 这真是说得太正确了。

The application is easy. I just have to dab the sponge on my acne, even before it started to get inflamed. The consultancy and a bottle of Dalacin T cost me SGD52. The result turned out good, it not only stop new pimple from forming but also sooth the existing inflaming acne. My doctor said I can apply it multiple times a day.
使用程序很简单。 我只需要在我粉刺／暗疮／即将形成痘痘的地方上轻压海绵。 医生的咨询费和一瓶Dalacin T花了我52新元。 其效果很好，它不仅阻止了新痘痘的形成，还缓解了现有的痤疮。 医生说我可以一天使用多次。

I felt the liquid-type ran out fast. After two and a half month, I finished it. I headed to Guardian, pharmacy section to enquire, to try if I can get it cheaper than if I got it from the clinic. The pharmacist asked if I wanted gel or liquid form. I decided to try the gel form. I got it at SGD33.70.  If I was not wrong, I got my first bottle at SGD40+ from the clinic. The result turned out good too but it seems like this one can last longer. Or perhaps my skin has improved and I did not have to use it too frequently.
我觉得液体型的耗尽得比较快。 大概两个半月后，它就被用完了。 我前往Guardian药房部门询问，想探讨一下会不会比医生卖的便宜。 药剂师问我是要凝胶的或液体状的。 我决定尝试凝胶状的。 我付了33.70新元。 如果我没记错，诊所好像一瓶要价40多新元。 凝胶状的效果也很好，但似乎可以使用较长时间。 原因或许是自从用了第一瓶后，我的皮肤有所改善，所以减少了使用次数。

Since my skin got better, I only use it on the acne-prone area once or twice a day, after I have cleansed my face. I do not apply it if I do not have a pimple. I am afraid that my skin will "immune" to the medication and it will not be effective anymore.
由于我的皮肤状况好转，现在我只是在清洁脸后，每天一次或两次在粉刺／痘痘爆发区使用它。 如果皮肤没问题，我也不会“未雨绸缪”似地使用它。 我担心皮肤会因此“免疫”了这药物，而它将不再有效。

Anyway, my conclusion is that you will not look great with thick make-up that tries very hard to conceal your scars, acne or pimples. You really need good skin to look gorgeous, with or without make-up. Remember, your make-up "melts" when you are sweating, swimming or after a long day, while beautiful skin does not. We all want to look beautiful all the time, aren't we?
无论如何，我的结论是，涂上厚厚的化妆品未必能掩饰你的伤疤，粉刺或痘痘。 无论你有没有化妆，你真的需要美丽健康的皮肤让你在不费吹灰之力的情况下就变得很漂亮。 请记住，当你出汗，游泳或经过漫长的一天后，你的化妆品会“融化”，而你的自然美却不会。 我们都希望自己一直都漂漂亮亮，不是吗？

Lastly, take care of your lifestyle and do not use your hands to squeeze or touch your skin. If you have to squeeze or pop the acne, let the professional does the job. Otherwise, it is always a better option to patiently wait for the skin to recover on its own. I hope Dalacin T works well for you too, all the best!
最后，要注意你的生活方式，也要避免用手挤压或触碰你的皮肤。 如果你必须挤压出粉刺／脓，请让专业的美容师或医生完成这项工作。 要不然，我劝你还是耐心地等待皮肤自行痊愈比较好。 我希望达拉辛T对你也一样有效，祝你一切顺利！
