I’ve had “bacne” breakouts for years, and running in this humid climate has only made it worse. The summer sun helps to dry them out a bit, but I’d like to finally get rid of them. The idea of wasting daylight hours locked in a spa fills me with dread. Are there any easy-to-use products I could put on at home?

Mr Dapper: Do I look like a dermatologist? This is a persistent skin problem. See a qualified professional, such as one of the doctors at SkinCentral (tel: 2901 1281; www.skincentral.com). And tell them about your habit of exposing damaged skin and scars to sunlight. They might have something to say about that.
Mr Dandy: Do you have to take everything so seriously, Dapper? I’m no dermo, but I’ve road-tested enough cosmetics to share my knowledge. If there’s one brand to go for, I’d say it’s Murad (10/F, World Commerce Centre, Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui, tel: 3107 0133). Stock up on the brand’s clarifying body spray (HK$345), which contains salicylic acid, the ingredient most people recommend for this sort of problem. There’s also Murad’s acne body wash (HK$350) and exfoliating acne treatment gel (HK$530). Others you might try include Clinique’s Anti-Blemish range (clinique.com.hk), Clarins Men products (clarins.com.hk), and the Blue Herbal Collection by Kiehl’s (www.kiehls.com). Oh, and medicated pads work well, too. I found Proactiv pads at my local Watsons (HK$189 and up; customer service hotline: 2608 8383; or order through proactiv.com.hk, tel: 8107 8000).

I’m dying to look like James McAvoy in Trance. What labels was he wearing and are they available here?
