Ello, So some of you may have heard aobut using miracle whip as a mask for acne/red marks. I have a decent ammount of red marks due to acne on my face and am wondering if using the miracle whip mask would be damaging for the skin? I know people use chemical peals and crap, but isn't removing a layer of skin bad for it?

hello. i am using the clinique 3 step program at the moment.
the oily soap, the number 3 clarifying lotion and the DDMG, however although the lady from clinique said it would clear up my moderate/mild acne. im not to sure. my skin has developed into tiny tiny pimples and redness instead of spots lol. somewhat a bonus i suppose lol
but i like it so am going to carry on at my own perral.
i decided to get some quinoderm (BP) and use that at night. i have now found its very drying and my DDMG is not enough. i have 2 other products to choose from to help combat this, coconut oil or nivia soft intensive moisturising cream. both have good reviews. any suggestions on any part of what i have said?

my acne is mild and i have sensitive skin

Hey,im new..

I am having trouble and no luck with burts bees,been 3 months too. I tried the acne solutions products and no luck,and my best friend swore by the tomato soap,so now I am using the garden tomato soap,garden tomato toner,acne spot on treatment,radiance day creme moisturizer,and the herbal blemish stick.

This is my routine..

Wake up and before work get a shower and scrub my face pretty hard with the tomato soap,and then rinse it off,get out of shower and let face dry,and then put on the moisturizer and put the spot on treatment stuff on few spots and head to work. Other day i do all of the above except i do the herbal blemish stick instead of spot on. At night i do the same,though not every night. Some days i just leave it at the moisturizer though,and dont do anything after. I just can't decide what is right because of my luck.

I have acne all over my face in different spots,and it sucks but an area that really bugs me is my whole area below my lips and down. That whole chin area. It has been enflammed for about 2 months. Constantly red and hardly any skin color. Lots of cracks and lines in skin and dry skin,and just raw looking. As well as pimples that are like very small white spots and under skin. It is SO Annoying,it wont heal and get better,and ithink it has something to do with product overload..

Any help would be appreciated! thanks..

I've been doing some research in an attempt to find a sponge or cloth for exfoliation and stumbled across this little gem. It's called the konjac sponge. It's a completely natural antibacterial vegetable fiber sponge used to exfoliate, cleanse, moisturize, and balance the skin's ph all without the addition of soap or moisturizer. Just add water. Of course, a cleanser or soap can be used in conjunction, but the claim is that it does all of this without the use of a cleanser or soap. It's been used in Japan for centuries, but it seems as though it has yet to catch a wide consumer base because I've only been able to find a couple retailers over the internet. Has anyone had any experience with this product? Or, maybe you have another exfoliating sponge or cloth story to share.

can your skin develop a reliability on the cleansers you're using? (ie. once you stop using them and go to a different cleanser, could this make acne worse?)

or likewise, is it possible for your skin to develop immunity to a cleanser that previously worked?

Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone has used MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution) on their acne. I am desperately looking for a cure and have tried everything else. I came across a forum on Curezone about MMS which is suppose to kill all kinds of bacteria, viruses etc. It is a very strong chemical which people take internally usually but it can also be used topically for skin conditions (so they say) I'd like to know if anyone has experimented with it?

I guess this is where I post this, i'm not sure.

So what should I choose? I heard ReaLemon isn't actually 100% it is artificial. So should I just buy Lemons instead and squeeze them over my face?

Ok i know i need to start a new regimen. I am debating on which one to start a retin A micro regimen or mandelic acid regimen.

My acne is mild on chin with the occasional cyst. Right now i have one cyst forming and about 3 smaller actives. Developed a few more after coming of diet regimen that i tried for 3 months. Tired of stressing over food and just need to try something else. Starting over and something new sux but so does constant acne and being strict on food intake.

What do you guys/gals think? I already have retin a micro, it got prescribed to me in august and could start fri night, but if mandelic acid is the better way to go then i want to order is ASAP.

i have a question?? is it bad not to moisturize after applying apple cider vinegar or is that how its supposed to work??

Well I recently bought a new moisturizer and I was wondering if it will make my acne worse...

It's Aloe 80 Organics Liquid Moisturizer by Lily of the Desert.
It says it's excellent for use under makeup so I've been putting it on this yesterday morning.

BUT today I've realized that my face has few tiny bumps (like clogged pores??) and I think it might be because of the moisturizer...

I can't list all the ingredients but you can check it on
ingredients!


Can anyone help me decide whether I should continue using it or not??

Check it out

It was announced on the tyra banks show, and i kinda want to try it, but that means i have to order off the internet, and that turned out to be a bad experience last time. I read it has vitamins and minerals, and your suppose to see results in two weeks! its 30 bucks for a 1 month supply, it sounds too good to be true. idk what to do. Anywyas just thought i let everyone know about a new product.

Hey, I just joined the site because I feel the need to share this amazing natural acne cure with anyone who suffers.
I used to have perfectly clear skin, with only the ocasional zit, but over the past few months I have started to break out badly and it was starting to leave scars.
I have tried everything, from proactive to milk of magnesia, and nothing worked. Then I found a site that reccomneded tea tree oil, its amazing!
I saw results within one hour, the redness and swelling decreased, and by the end of the fist day of use, some of my pimple actually started to disapear,!
my skin has not looked this good for a long time, I am so happy that I found out about this, and I just wanted to share it, my only regret is that I didnt find out about it sooner, It really seems like a miracle!!!

Pepperment oil - Apparently it's an essential oil if that is of any help. I cant find if it comedogenic or not. Thanks for looking.

Well if your hormones are responcible for acne in teen's and your oil glands produce more oil from your hormones. If you masturbate does it make your oil glands release more oil? I'm sorry if this has been posted before.

hey just saw it for the first time and picked up a bottle (5 bucks i think). it is a 5% bp face wash for sensitive skin (made by oxy). there are no reviews for it anywhere as it is brand freakin new.

the normal oxy bottle is red-- this one is green.

anyone try it?

If anyone has ever tried Proactive Please let Me Know how good it works
because I herd its just a big fad and it doesn't work
I have tried just about everything You can buy at walmart for acne
and nothing works
and if Anyone Knows about something that works good please let Me Know
Thanks

I usually use L'Oreal Anti-Regreasing moisturiser as it's cheap and does a good job. However, I haven't been able to find it recently, so had to try a new moisturiser. I decided to try the Garnier Pure - Shine Control Moisturiser. I picked this as it was only £4, contained Salicylic Acid and was a reputable name.

Anyway, I've tried it and not been impressed! It goes on fine and absorbs, but it makes my skin feel really dry and tight! This eventually disappears as my skin gets more greasy throughout the day. However, today it's resulted in patches of flaky dry skin on my face! I've noticed that one of the ingredients is 'white clay' which I imagine could be quite drying.

I've decided not to use this anymore as the peeling skin looks quite obvious. Luckily, I've found somewhere that still stocks the L'oreal moisturiser, so I'm going back on that.

Has anyone else had similar issues with this Garnier moisturiser?

hey guys ,, i have preety mild to moderate acne ,,, and i masterbate very regularly .. sometimes heavily in weekends ,,, can it have any relation with acne ???

is it good for oily acne prone skin? i've been using BP 6% cleanser (triaz generic) and .05% tretinoin cream. i don't like what the BP cleanser is doing to my skin, it makes it dry and red.

So, I'm getting low on my supply of Canus Unscented Goat's Milk Soap. I was thinking of adding AHA to my regimen and wanted an even more gentle soap - not that this stuff is harsh in the least.

I use it because it has a pH level VERY similar to that of human skin and actually makes my face feel clean (unlike Cetaphil)

I plan on picking up some Alpha Hydrox Enhanced Lotion and noticed they have a dandy little foaming facial wash that seems to have pretty high reviews.

Anyone tried it? There's no actual AHA in the cleanser, I don't think, but it's supposed to be fairly gentle and help balance the pH level of your skin to prep it for the AHA afterwards.

And, because of my love of goat's milk soap, are there any liquid variations that don't contain tons of oils?

Other than experience with these, can anyone recommend a decent facial cleanser?

and no, I will NOT use Cetaphil, Clean and Clear, Neutrogena, Burts Bees or Aveeno.

Can someone please send it to me.
Its alot of money that i do not have. Please can you send me this e-book.

My e-mail is masterbrownie@hotmail.com

If you do i will be very greatfull
Thanks to anyopne that does.

I'm looking to find "Clean and Clear continuous control acne cleanser" in the UK, can't find an online store that is in the UK, and I don't see any retail stores that stock this in the UK.

I want it due to the 10% BP and some good reviews.

Thank-you.

my acne condition was mild; one to two zits a week and oily skin. morning and night i would have to apply acne cream but now i no longer do that.

i started washing my face with head and shoulder for 3 weeks now and the results are incredible. my skin is incredible soft and smooth, i wouldn't expect from a shampoo but its actually the best cleanser i've used. it does not dry out your skin or irritate it. My acne is gone, sometimes i get white head but it goes away in 3 days or less.

the best part is that i no longer use any acne product and it feels great!. my regimin now is wash my face with head and shoulder and nothing else.

if you do try, make sure you get the Head and Shoulder Classic Clean without the conditioner in it. good luck and best wishes. i'm here to answer any questions.

does it help with acne blemishes? i have so many dark blemishes tht even goin out of my house is horrible. i hate showing my face to people. i really need something for these red marks!

Hi everyone hope al is well. Cut 2 the chase, when I was 22 I developed systic acne on the right side of my face and everything I tried only made it worse including proactive, murad, clearisil ect. After about a year of seaching I found somthing caled MMS, which when prepared correctly becomes cholrine dioxide(scary I know but pretty much harmless to things that use oxygen like our body). once I started using that bam!!!! stated kickin the hell out of my acne, the nail in the coffin was drinking more water, now I just spray a few times a day, and drink water and presto. I encourage everyone thats interested to do some research and see what they think, google jim humble his site has alot of info about mms, most of the site is for purposes other that skin treatment which I dont know about all I can say is yes it will kill the acne on your skin, and the extra water dont hurt either, as for buying it there are many distributers on the net, as well as directions on jim humble's site for how to make it urself, please feel free to email me with any questions I know I would of had em, I wanted to keep this post short, and helpfull, alos 20 bucks will get u about 6months to a year supply, please email with acne in the title to help me out

god bless the world

I was just wondering if I should have a different moisturizer for the day and for night time.

If so, and good night time moisturizer recommendations?

I've read that if you put a small dab of toothpaste on a pimple it will shrink it. Anyone can confirm this?

Hi, I've been using PC 1% for 1 month now. At first I started every other day then every day. Now I used it 2 times a day.

However I'm still getting pimples. 3 new ones on my chin. Also I still have a lot of red marks from previous pimples.

I recently ordered the PC 2% to see if it will speed things up

I wanted to ask for those who used BHA, how long before all the pimples cleared up and the red marks gone? Thanks!
