Can a hydrating sheet mask be used for acne prone skin?

Doctor's Answers 1

This depends on the type of face mask you are using. Even among hydrating face masks, there are many different types with different ingredients.

In acne prone skin, we should use products that are non-comedogenic and oil free so that they do not clog the pores. Some face masks may have added ingredients and these can sometimes irritate the skin or cause an allergic reaction.

So if you have a hydrating face mask that is non comedogenic and that does not cause irritation, it should be fine to use them.

Stop if you develop any worsening or acne or redness.

Is there any difference in doctors with FAMS qualification when it comes to treating severe acne?

Great question. Some of my answers below will be factual, and some will be personal opinions. Sorry for the verbose answer, as I hope that it will help other readers too. Fact: All doctors with FAMS are specialists, but not all specialists have FAMS. You need to first be a specialist, before applying to be a Fellow of the Academy of Medicine. Think of it like an exclusive members club, for specialists in Singapore. It is not a board certification, as they would have completed their “board specialty exams” by then.

What should I look out for in choosing an aesthetic clinic in Singapore?

Dr Boey has answered well. Actually, I think that technology and the likes is just part of the story. The most important aspect of the clinic is really the Doctor who attends to you. We have all heard horror stories, including doctors themselves who have met other doctors who don't seem to care, or dish out cookie-cutter advice to all patients. First and foremost, the doctor must take a genuine interest in yourself and your problems, so a 2 minute consultation is not going to serve that purpose.
