Quick product update

Salicylic Acid: I’m plodding along with this. Our manufacturer is back from vacation mid-month, so I hope to have something out in the month or two following.

SPF15 Moisturizer: I found a great formula, which is saying a lot. I’ve tried well over 50 samples–I’m pretty sure it’s actually over 60 but I lost count. At any rate, I am loving the latest formula and am just swapping out preservatives right now to get it nice and stable. Once it’s nailed down it takes a few months in FDA required stability tests, after which point I can fill.

Audio interview with Dr. Cordain on the diet and acne connection - uploaded

Listen to interview

It’s a long interview, 27 minutes or so I believe, so be forewarned

My bottom line: we need more research on the diet and acne connection and can not confidently say at this time whether diet and acne are, or are not, related.

Obtaining Accutane legally and why it’s important. Unabridged mission statement uploaded.

I just uploaded 2 new pages of acne.org

(1) We’ve had some issues lately with people trying to get Accutane without a prescription. It’s a bad idea for a few reasons, which I highlight on a new page of Acne.org.

(2) I uploaded an unabridged mission statement.

Special thanks

The special thanks page somehow got lost in the mix of the last couple of site updates so I made a new one. Thanks to everyone who makes this site possible!

AHA is now available

The 6oz. glycolic acid (AHA) plus lichochalcone is for sale. I sat down with a calculator and crunched numbers to get it to stay between my target of $15 and $20 and managed to get it down to $16.11.

You can read more about glycolic acid, aka alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) here, and more about lichochalcone here.

I personally use it for spot treatment, body acne treatment, and flakiness control. It is not required on the Acne.org Regimen, but it’s a nice addition that I recommend for pretty much everyone. For me, it takes my skin from clear to pretty much perfect.

I look forward to your feedback.

Update: AHA should be for sale in a week or so

I got the AHA filled this week and it’s awaiting final tests to make sure it’s ready for sale. I’m hoping to have it for sale next week. I’m still working on pricing, trying to keep it as low as I can.

And a quick Sal Acid update…tubes being labeled. Then we’ll start filling. Still a couple of months off probably. Yeah, I know, it’s slow, but I’m doing absolutely everything I can. I actually think I’m totally bugging everybody involved
