Acid to exfoliate

One of my favorite face products is acid to exfoliate the skin on my face. Actually, it is AHA acid otherwise known as Alpha Hydroxy Acid or fruit acid which helps to exfoliate the external layer of skin.

For skin to really improve, exfoliation is really essential. Otherwise, it is just plying on face cream on dead skin.

TDF, one of the brands a skin doctor recommended to me some time back is having a 25% sale. The sale is on for only once or twice a year and is available at polyclinics, hospitals pharmacies and online pharmacies.

I have purchased TDF products twice from https://www.mypharmacy.com.sg/ which is part of Changi Hospital. Frankly, I am not really a fan of online purchases. I just dun like to wait at home for them to deliver the goods. I am the type of person who likes to touch, hold and examine the products at close range.

I have missed too many opportunities to get the products from hospitals when I went for medical appointments and SO is also too busy these days to accompany to the polyclinics, so I have no choice but to purchase online. I know the deadline for the discounts ends on 30 July, whereas the polyclinics offers ended on 30 June.

Frankly, I still have some brand new products which I bought in Dec 2007.

5 TDF AHA Revitalising Lotion 10% 100ML $24.04 $32.05 1 $24.04

Total price $233.27

So this time, I decided to be more thrifty and spend less. This time, I bought

No.Product NameSpecial PriceList PriceQuantityTotal Price
1 TDF AHA Facial Wash 237ml $33.75 $45.00 1 $33.75
2 TDF AHA Revitalizing Cream 8% 50g $38.72 $38.72 2 $77.44

Total price $111.19. Less $10 discount so the cost is only $101.19.

Well, the prices for the products have risen. For the 237ml face wash, the sale price is now $33.75 as compared to $30.19. And if not for the fact, they are having a sale, I have to pay $45 just for the face wash.

Delivery is 2 working days, so I have to stay at home on friday, dress decently and wait for the delivery guy to send my products.
