About two months’ ago, I had a rather horrible outbreak of rashes and cystic acne on my face. It may have been caused by several new skincare products I was using all at one go and my skin probably couldn’t cope. So, I started looking at anti-acne skincare, something I have never really ventured into before. Actually, it is a little depressing that I need to use anti-acne skincare at my age.
The Ettusais Emollient Supplizer (such a funny term… I thought it was a typo at first) contains AC-control oil which is supposed to help combat blemishes yet provide hydration even to very dry skin. Besides the breakouts, my skin has also been suffering from the effects of air-conditioning and is rather dehydrated. So, it was important that the moisturiser won’t dry out my skin further because many anti-acne skincare can be quite drying.
The moisturiser applies smoothly and does not feel sticky. I normally use it in the evening and have noticed that my face feels very soft the next morning. My face seems to look clearer and more radiant too. It is fragrance-free therefore is suitable for those who are sensitive to smells. I have not noticed any breakouts caused by the moisturiser but I think it could also be due to cutting down on the number of products used at night. I cannot locate the ingredients but I do believe the moisturiser is oil-free.
Overall, I am very pleased with this moisturiser and would likely repurchase once I run out. In fact, I now prefer the Ettusais moisturiser over Clinique or Estee Lauder. *shocked gasp* I just love how my face feels after applying it. I would recommend this to folks who have similar problems because I honestly think it has helped improve the outlook and condition of my skin.
Ettusais has a pretty good range of skincare and they are relatively affordable. The Medicated Acne Emollient Supplizer can be found at Isetan stores locally and retails at RM88 for a 29g jar.

If this were available during my teenager days, I probably would have ended up with some baby smooth skin, sigh :p
I agree. Their acne and pore-care range are pretty good stuff!
Man I think Ettusais is more affordable in Msia than in HK… must double check that fact though. My usual question babe, does it have dimethicone, trimithicone or anything ending in -cone?
Yes, I'm afraid it contains silicones. But fortunately, I'm not allergic to them.
I use a treatment with salicylic acid separately and it's pretty effective. Thanks for the tip!
ooh, you need to try the AC-Skincare Skin Version Up Extra (there they go with the weird name again!). It's designed for adult acne and I believe it's been doing an awesome job t keeping my pimples to a minimal
New lemming! Would you reckon that oily faces like mine can use it in the day time without it becoming too oily?
I have that but I'm not really certain what it does exactly. *noob* After having success with the moisturiser, I went back and got almost the full AC range. I quite like everything I've used so far
I have used this during the daytime and didn't find it too oily. Might be best to get a sample from Ettusais first and test out for yourself.
Bugrit millennium hand and shrimp! Thanks anyway dear. =P
Hmm.. this is tempting. Especially since my jar of Face Oasis is already running out. I'm in the market for a night-time moisturiser.
This is now my favourite moisturiser and so far, have used it without issues
Perhaps you can obtain a sample to test out first.
