Well I was planning on giving this a month before I decide. My acne worsened too when I went on the stale stuff and I suspect that it might have something to do with storing it. When you just use it 'straight from the tap' it's uncontaminated (if you have taken all the other precautions), but when it's been stored in a container it's been touched by cotton pads and bacteria must get into it and then rest on your skin. Plus, my BF really hates having a container with URINE written on it in the fridge. As for drinking it, I was doing it before my period came and then of course I had to stop and now I seem to have lost my nerve. I'm going to start first thing in the morning though. I think that attacking it from inside and out will be more effective than just out. I'm starting to think tht I shouldn't have started oil pulling at the same time as this because OP is most likely going to give me a pretty big purge and then I won't really be able to tell if the urine is working. I think I'll wait until after the summer to start the OP.

I HATE ACNE TOO!! I don't like to sound like a whiner or anything but it suuuuuuuuucks. And ALL of my friends and family have grown out of it already. I'm the only one who hasn't!!

i was getting pretty fed up last night. so what i did was i just poured it on rather than gingerly dab it on. for some reason that seemed to work better and didn't piss it off and make it all red. and yes, it was the fresh stuff

Day Thirteen

Skin is still looking better everyday. Still no inflamed acne at all. My comedonal acne is clearing up as well but at a very slow pace. Overall skin tone is looking very nice, but I got a sunburn on the weekend so my nose sticks out like a sore thumb. I've developed a little routine now. I get up for my first urine of the day and before I pee I wash my pace with cetaphil. Then I grab my cup and wash it out. Then I clean my area and pee in the cup. And finally I dip a cotton ball in and rub it all over my face. I was using toilet paper but I like the cotton ball better because it is so absorbent and gets lots of pee on my skin. Then I wash out the cup again and go have my tea and then hop into the shower 20 mins or so later and rinse it off with just water. Before I was putting it on an unwashed face and then washing it off it the shower and I don't think it was working as well. I do the same thing at night before I go to bed and then rinse it off later so as not to scare my bf off. I still haven't restarted on drinking it. I kind of keep forgetting. I think I'll just wait until my books arrive, which should be any day now. Haha I was thinking of keeping them on the back of the toilet with all our magazines for bathroom reading but my friends and fam would have an uproar, lol. The only people that know about this new thing I'm trying is my bf and my parents.

What kind of acne do you have held by hope?

[Held by Hope]

idk the types of acne lol. i kinda range from light-moderate. so today is day 12 for me, and nothing has really happened.

[kelsie123]

wow I haven't been here in a while. I stopped using the urine and then started again. I think it's helping but not clearing me completely. I still have lots of acne, but the urine got rid of a lot of the medium sized one that I had scattered across my face. I wonder if anyone else is still doing this?

[Artichoke]

So for those of you doing this, I have a question.
would it work if I only applied it once before bed?
The idea of going around with it on my face all day kinda scares me (but props to those who do) and I also go swimming a lot during the summer because there is a lake near my house, so I don't think it would stay on.
and do you guys do your normal face wash before?

its best to use your morning urine because the evening urine has more excess hormones in it, or so I read. I don't keep mine on all day I just wake up and wash my face and then do my pee thing and then go and have a tea and when I'm done I hop in the shower and just rinse face with water and shower as usual. Doesn't take up much more time. I have to have a shower everyday though so I'm not sure what you do. I do use mine in the evening as well, but I read that morning is best so if you're just doing it once a day then maybe morning's better?

[c6lala]

Honestly, I don't think using urine is gross at all...In fact, if it works as well as others have said then why the hell wouldn't you try it?? It's not like we're saying "Go into the nearest public bathroom and have everyone pee in a cup". then yes...I would understand the harsh remarks

Anyway...I have been using the baking Soda scub...Sometimes leaving it on as a mask till it dries then wash off with luke warm water. This seems to be bringing out all the ones that may have been hiding so my skin doesn't look so great right now....

I just started to do the "pee pee" dance with the rest of you...So wish me luck!! It's only been a day but...We'll see. Somethings gotta give right?? For the love of God...Something has got to work!!!

Also I got prescribed Differin Gel...AAnybody have any experience with this stuff?? I haven't used it yet cause I'm going on vacation soon and don't want to be extra sensitive to the sun. I'm a little nervous to use this if it's anything like Retin-A...That made my skin so flaky I looked like a lepor

Keep this thread going though please I really want to hear about everyone's progress.

*Side Note*
Kelsie123- I checked out your before and after pics...You skin looks great!! Glowing pretty skin is a wonderful thing isn't it?? God, I miss it

I'm not sure if this has already been brought up or not - if so I apologise!

What about when you're mensturating, just about to or have just finished? Does it make a difference? Is it better/worse?

My initial reaction to this treatment was not shock or disgust. I figured it made perfect sense. I'm in the process of researching it fully before I try it. I don't think I would drink it at this point, and would have to see how the smell affects me, if at all, before I decide on whether to wash it off or leave it on. Is it alright to leave it on under moisturiser and makeup?

[Deadmau5]

All your pee is just excess minerals/vitamins why not just get the ones that you know help with acne in softgel and put it all over your face?

[snow white]

how could you possibly have a stomach to drink urine and rub it on your face!

[jimmyismyname]

I highly doubt many people are putting their own urine on their face and seeing vast results compared to an otc product such as apple cider vinegar, or witch hazel which soothes the skin.

I've been slowly reading through the entire thread, start to finish. A lot of people are seeing amazing results. Someone even posted befores and afters and they were incredible! I have not personally tried apple cider vinegar but don't like the idea of it. Call me crazy, gross, whatever - but I'd rather put my own pee on my face and have a higher chance that it'll work. I used to belong to the school of thought that the harsher it felt on my skin, the better it was working. I've ruined my skin that way.

Read the thread or do your own research. It does make sense.

Quick question for those who know something about this

I have been using urine therapy for a week, and it certainly made my skin look better, however but also alot of painful white heads appeared on my chin

Now I certainly can't see how urine can create white heads, however I am at loss for an exaplanation?

Could be because it is bringing out all the pimples faster than they usually would?

I have also had AMAZING success with Urine Therapy to clear up my acne. I have been dealing with acne since I was 12 and I'm now 31. Over the years I've done Accutane 3 times, the pill, many other internal medications and external...I've tried almost everything you can imagine with various degrees of success, but nothing ever clears my acne completely. I am a vegetarian and don't eat wheat or dairy. About 7 months ago I suddenly began to break out all over my face again, the worst I've experienced since age 14. It was so terrible and nothing seemed to work to get my acne back under control. I spent countless hours and days researching EVERYTHING on the internet and experimenting.

Finally, I came across Urine Therapy, and although the thought of drinking my own urine was a bit difficult, I'm very adventuresome and willing to try almost anything to clear my skin. There are tons of articles about it on the internet and almost across the board the results and the research are astounding! Millions of people in the east drink their urine every day, including many athletes. I was already familiar with urine therapy from the yoga world and my good friend growing up would drink her morning urine whenever she got sick and swore by it. Anyway, I decided to give it a try...

I started using fresh urine topically after cleansing in the morning and evening...I noticed immediate results in the form of glowing and tighter skin. Also, alot of the acne I had started to heal. There were a few days where some a lot of whiteheads emerged and then cleared. I've always had to use moisturizer, unless I want to peel and look super dry, but after the UT, my skin is perfectly balanced. It feels so good to not have to load on extra products after washing. After a couple of weeks I decided to try using aged urine, which is recommended as the most powerful for topical use, the best being between 5 and 8 day old mid-stream morning urine. I agree, it works even better, however with the aged urine, there is a bit of a smell issue for about an hour after application...then it goes away. Maybe the answer is to use fresh urine in the morning and aged at night.

After about a week of topical UT, I decided to take the plunge and try drinking! I collected my mid stream urine first thing in the morning, looked at myself in the mirror and said, "here we go!" Immediately, I was surprised that it wasn't bad at all. Really not a big deal. The key is not to breathe through your nose while drinking, or for about a minute after. Really, it's not bad. After about 4 days you get totally used to it. I noticed in the first week that a lot of cleansing happening in my body with the internal UT. I've done a bunch of cleansing in my life, so I know when my body is really clearing out. My skin was improving every day...consistant and noticeable changes. A lot of people started to comment on how good it looked and I started feeling MUCH better all around in my life. It's now been about 5 weeks that I've been practicing UT and I can say it's one of the best decisions I've ever made for my skin and my body! It's also the cheapest skin treatment I can imagine.

I told a couple of my good friends that I was practicing UT. At first they couldn't believe it. But...a few weeks later, both girls told me that they had gotten curious enough to give it a try and that the topical use was "A MIRACLE CURE!!!" I couldn't believe they had actually tried it, because their initial reaction to it had been total disbelief! I was happily surprised by their success and courage!

Here are some facts that I've learned in my research about Urine Therapy:

-Urine, contrary to popular belief, is sterile...not a waste product in the way that we are taught to believet. (It actually used to be used to sterilize surgical instruments for surgery on the front lines during war!)

-Urine is full of vitamins, minerals, and balancing hormones (especially the first stream of the morning after rest). When we eat or take vitamins, our bodies often can't absorb all of the nutrients at that time and any excess vitamins are filtered out into urine. So, drinking urine is recycling, in a sense...and in the form of urine, vitamins and minerals are much more bio-available to the body than in pill form etc.

-Urine is excellent at balancing hormone levels. And...because it is made by you, it is full of exactly what you need to find hormonal balance. There are many articles on this...do some research.

-Urine therapy has been practiced by monks for centuries to aid in meditation. It helps to calm the mind and bring one to a state of higher awareness.

-Urine or Urea is in almost all makeup and many skin products! So, if you are reading this and don't think you can handle urine therapy, most likely you have already been putting urine on your face in one form or another for years!


Important Guidelines for Urine Therapy:

-It's important that you are not drinking, smoking, or doing drugs while practicing UT

-Eat a whole foods diet, vegetarian and organic preferably

-No table salt or sugars...if you need to use salt, make sure it is an un-iodized sea salt...the best is Primordial Himalayan Salt (it's pink) or Celtic Sea Salt

-Do not eat for at least an hour before or after UT

-Make sure you capture the midstream first thing in the morning. You can also drink the urine one hour after each meal.


Think that's about it for now...good luck brave souls!

Keep going with it...this is part of the process, the whiteheads come up and then clear within a few weeks. I had the same thing happen. I've been doing UT for 5 weeks now and I've noticed major improvement in the past two weeks.

I just wanted to post my experience. I never had any acne to speak of really until age 25, then it just hit me like a bomb. I ended up going to a dermatologist, was put on minocycline and differin. After about six months, the infection was gone, but I still used differin, which is rather expensive. Lately I've just been using benzoyl peroxide and it works about 70 percent, but I still always have visible pimples on both sides of my chin, occasionally my upper lip, always at the temples and across my forehead. Any my face is always super dry from the Benzoyl Peroxide.
Plus the benzoyl constantly stains my clothes, and I'm 29, I'm really sick of having to deal with acne!!

So, five days ago, I bit the bullet, did some research on urine therapy, and decided what the heck, it'd be cheaper, and maybe my face wouldn't be so dry, since urine apparently is a good moisturizer. After five days of washing my face with facial soap at night and in the morning, and applying urine using a cotton swab three to four times a day, I have ZERO noticeable acne spots, and nothing getting ready to erupt, which has never happened before. If I had gone five days without applying BP at night, I would look like a pizza and probably wouldn't leave my house I'd be so broken out. I also haven't applied a moisturizer yet, which obviously means it works for that as well. The urine doesn't smell after you apply it to your face, it gets absorbed, I don't wash it off, and am 110% happy with the results. Just thought I'd report my results and let you decide for yourself.

this is to jenmymy, i recently heard about the urine treatment and just wanted to know exactly what you do for your face so i can try it out.

[pimpletta]

Ok, Im 25 with adult acne including 2 annoying reoccurring cysts...at first this post made me sick to my stomach but I am frusturated and gonna try it as a last resort. Im using alot of chemicals at this point and the water where I live is so hard so everytime Im washing its drying and peeling, etc...anyways, after reading more about more this technique I am more convinced it could do some good...

Im gonna let yall know how it goes...today is day 1!

Wish me luck *runs off to apply pee on face*

~Forgot to add: I am drinking 3-4 cups of rooibus and green tea blend...hope this works.

day 1, just tried it out and it does not burn or smell at all...skin feels a little tightened like a toner but toners normally burn the crap outta my face. so this is a plus so far...

ok, so i've been using the urine once in the morning and at night a few days now. i am noticing my peeling/dryness from the weather change calming down as well as two pimples that were coming up turned into white heads easy to pop FAST, like in hours after the first treatment....my question is, i am noticing a couple more small pimples coming up...Does the urine's bacteria speed up the pimples process and make it ready to pop easily? Is this why Im getting new pimples too? maybe i should only apply to pimples that have come up already and just use it as a rememdy to speed up the process?

please advise!

also...my husband found out i was doing this and is completely repulsed by me and thinks im a freak and disgusted by me ...i suggest anyone thats doing this to do it very secretly.

[Andy36]

I've been reading thru the UT and was wondering: "If you use urine to wash 2 or 3x a day, when will you ever wash with SOAP again to your face?" I'm assuming you don't anymore?

[jessdell]

I don't know what this says about me, but from the second I read the title my first thought was "That would be awesome if this worked! And so cheap!" and not for a second did it being gross cross my mind. Maybe I'm desperate? Or maybe I'm just comfortable with the processes of the body? Not sure. Needless to say, I'll be trying this.

Although my biggest problem is with blackheads. I've seen mixed results with that...but I did see a couple people saying their skin felt tighter? I mean, I suppose I'm not spending any money on this, so what the heck?
