So I'm going to try the Urine Therapy method... being pregnant means I'm very limited in my options anyway and Dan's regimen hasn't done it for me.

My main concern is the smell... I do eat meat and drink milk and I've heard that that affects the odor of your urine. But I did find this page: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_urine_clear_acne
which says you can rinse it off after 10 mins or so. I'm thinking that if I do that and follow up with a traditional moisturizer, that would eliminate any odor I notice.

Also, it's important for women to know what a "clean catch" is. You want to use a sterile wipe, front to back at least three times to ensure you've cleared away all vaginal secretions. Then begin to urinate into the toilet for a second or two before you move your container or cotton into the stream. This will allow the urine to wash away any bacteria and such from the urinary tract before you collect. Personally, I'd recommend you catch in a clean container even if you use the urine fresh. This allows you to note any changes in color, odor, or clarity... which is important in making sure you are not dealing with an infection.

For those who cannot refrigerate the morning urine, I'd just use it fresh and then dispose of it. Leaving it at room temperature will only facilitate growth of bacteria. Also, since there is no beneficial "living" component of urine, if you were concerned about it not being completely sterile... you could always boil it first.

I'll update soon with my specific regimen and results.

Urine on one's face for acne treatment? Interesting.... Did I also read somewhere that Certain Dri Deodorant goes on one's face too but only at night?

[lyssa jr]

It isn't as bad as it sounds.
I tried it a while ago and it worked pretty well. You can't really smell it [Well, not for me anyways.] and it just felt like warm water.

I am new here and have some questions about this method. I was reading online before I joined and it said that you should have a healthy yellow colored urine-not clear or diluted because supposedly it is healthier. Also it says to catch it mid-stream just in case there is anything 'bad' in it. Is this the way to do it? I have the under skin acne. I don't break out in big red bumps anymore, but sometimes I get the skin-colored small ones. I am looking for something to help clear the under skin bumps I have. Will this work for my type of acne?

It worked for my cystic acne aswell as the other stuff. I'd say give it a go and see how it works for you!

Mid flow is best I reckon.

Hi everyone, I've decided to try this method, so here's a little background:

Female, aged 36 long term on/off mild to moderate acne since 14. Have tried all sorts in the past - the conventional stuff, antibiotics, topicals, birth control pill.

At the moment, am not on any antibiotics, or using any particular thing on my face. Had bad breakout (cystic and pustules) on chin and jawline over Xmas break, so thinking I need to try something else.

Am wary of any treatments that may be harsh on my face or health, so thought I'd give the pee a try

OK, the ick factor is not too bad for me, because I have large dogs and deal with a lot worse than a bit of pee on a daily basis

So last night, first application: a bit drippy and messy - using balled up tissues is definitely less messy than a cotton wool application. Yes, a bit smelly at the time, but once dry no smell (I hope anyway!!). Straight away, skin felt softer and, this morning, it feels a bit smoother and less greasy. Overnight, one very tiny whitehead pimple that is drying up already and active spots are still there of course, but seem a little flatter/drier.

Did another application this morning and put my UV moisturiser on top, once pee sunk in.

Sorry no photos ! I am too shy and not very technical! Plus, I never let anyone see me without my make up on

I will be applying the pee just twice a day, because I wear makeup.

I can't beleive I am putting pee on my face LOL! What will I say if my skin clears up and everyone compliments me, ha ha.

OMG everyone would think I had finally flipped if they knew

I love this site!

Okay dokay - is this day 2 or 3? Lost count.

Anyway - no breakouts, which is good! But this is the time of the month when my skin is generally better anyway - the acid test will be around my period in a couple of weeks!

But I'm going to try the OTC anti-inflammatory med mentioned elsewhere on here, avene, to see if that will help with the menstrual breakouts.

So...still putting pee on my face

Last night's pee must have been Special Brew strong, as I spent the whole evening smoking, drinking wine and reading the Org Logs!

So, last thing when I eventually went to bed, I thought I could feel a couple of spots erupting under the skin in my problem area to the sides of my chin, but no sign of anything this morning...BUT....I did also take 2 Ibuprofen last night to try to get the last of the inflammation out of the two big nasties I had to the side of my chin (fall out from last period), so that probably helped. The two big nasties have completely flattened out now and are scabbing over nicely.

Hard to be objective about the more minor imperfections, but I do think my general skin condition is better with the pee. The pores seem a bit smaller, the skin smoother and, well, so far, no new spots, apart from a couple of tiny ones that are barely there. Not sure, but the old acne red marks I have on my cheeks for months seem to have faded a little more.

I really need to do a photo log! How do you take photos of yourself, by yourself? Just stick the camera out at arms length?

I think it would be good for me psychologically to post pics of my acne - cos I trust you lot & know you'll understand!

In my everyday life I have fallen into the trap of covering up with make up all the time, so when my skin is not having a bad breakout, I can just about seem like a person with no acne.

But I think I need to accept my skin and gain confidence in people seeing me as I am!

Scary thought!

ps one of dogs started licking my face first thing this morning, she must like the pee !

[UKLady]

OMG, I've got quite drunk again tonight (sitting in house alone, with internet for company )

Is is normal to polish off two bottles of wine in two nights...alone??

I need to start that blog.

I have been drinking quite a lot for the past year, since I moved house, living on my own etc., I think it's the loneliness. Smoking a ton too - I KNOW this is not good for my skin. Still, had some fantastic nights out clubbing with girlfriends etc. over past year, but maybe this drinking is really not helping, espesh when I'm sitting here alone over the weekend, getting merry ha, ha haaaaaah!

Never mind, feel quite happy at mo, if a bit pasted.

Oh forgot what I was going to say now...yeah! More pee tonight! Oh yes - I feel really bad, cos my sleeping/eating is all out of whack and I don't take my dogs out till 2pm sometimes!!! But, they sleep in bed with me, and as long as we're all cuddled up together in bed, they don't seem to mind, but still, I feel irresponsible and like a bad dog mommy...maybe it's the anti-depressants, or the booze, don't know, but find it so hard to wake up in mornings.

Sorry for slightly piddled ramblings

So been on the pee therapy for a few weeks now, thought I'd update.

No longer feel at all weird about using the pee (well, maybe just a little...!).

After the first few days, I had quite a break out, but this was probably just usual for me and the spots were smaller and less angry and subsided fairly quickly.

My main observation is improvement in overall skin tone, texture and quality. My face is smoother, pores seem smaller and the skin on my face now generally seems to 'match' the nice skin on my neck. I think my skin also looks smoother and whiter (though it is winter, so hard to tell) but e.g. I have not a single freckle left on my face, where I normally have a few on my forehead, where I don't wear any make up. I would say for the first time in a long time, the clear parts of my skin are almost glowing!

But I am still getting break outs! However, I re-read the entire thread (over two sittings LOL!) and I was a bit inconsistent with the application a few times and also am only applying it twice a day (b/c I wear make up), which it seems isn't really enough to totally clear up. But I switched to putting morning pee in the fridge and using that twice a day, putting a LOT on and this seemed to help more.

Wish I could work out how to treat 3 x a day...

From reading other threads I have also tweaked my regime and what has been really effective for the red marks is the egg white mask. I don't put any lemon juice in, just the egg white, every night or every other night. The red marks seem to have reduced quite a bit!

I'm going to try taking 50mg zinc, vit c and maybe B complex every day and I will TRY to reduce my dairy (I love cheese! and butter!), but not being able to eat what you want sucks. Then there's the smoking and drinking *sigh*.

Not to mention the hormonal break out, which is happening right now!

I tried urine therapy on warts that I had on fingers and feet. Previously, I tried removing the warts with OTC medication and then had podiatrists try to freeze them off several times. It was painful and inconsistent. The warts would burn off, turn black, and sometimes return a month later.

For the heck of it, I tried using urine on my warts (about 3 on my fingers and one on my foot) and they ALL disappeared within a week. It was ridiculously amazing!

I tried urine therapy on my acne for about a week and to be honest, I didn't really notice a difference. Oh well. Maybe a week wasn't enough. But I swear by it for treating warts at least.

[poopman4]

for those with significant others do they not ever notice the smell? I can't tell if the smell actually lingers or not, doesn't ever seem too bad but who knows, can you get real close to someone without them noticing if its dry, haven't seen anyone say anyone else smelled it on them yet

stuff definitely works for sure though

[Andy Gray]

Surely it must leave a faint odour of piss...

[poopman4]

after it dries I can't usually can't tell at all and any odor it does leave doesn't really smell like piss ever, think it only smells when its left out not allowed to dry or something

I work with kids and they get close and no ones ever said anything, kids are brutally honest too

[b2sai]

after reading this thread it made me laugh.. urine therapy is like an old wive's tale.. scientifically speaking, i dont think it will work due to our urine composition being different each time we pee depending on what we eat and drink.

Speaking of crazy regimens...

Might as well do semen therapy.. which my mom used to tell me.. anybody want to try? lol..

My mom also said if i get married, i should also try wiping my wife's menses on my face and that would help with the acne....

[SomeGuy86]

kinky, had no idea people were into these kind of things, come by my place and i can help you out.

srsly, tho...this is complete BS, Acne is an internal problem, shown through the skin, you can't treat and cure acne from the outside..don't people know this already?

Most likely someting else you did, during this time of testing it with your own ***** urine, gsus!

that had the impact on your acne.

What was your diet like.

(considering the date of the original post, i don't expect a reply)

changed absolutely nothing else, this was what did it 100%, I'm absolutely sure but I'm just 1 person read through other threads the reviews for hundreds more that said the same thing, but I guess if you want to continue to be ignorant and do all the other crap that obviously isnt working and keeping you on these boards then be my guest

If that's directed to me, well...just to let you know, i'm cleared..and have been for awhile thanks to diet changes and supplements.

This isn't a cure, if it works for you, great, it obviously just heals acne temporary...it won't cure it. IT CAN'T.

don't fool yourself.

[poopman4]

"it won't cure it. IT CAN'T. "

hahah you really want to believe that don't you, trying hard to convince yourself that you're not wasting your life away in vain with your bullshit "diet"

yea keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better, you can go on living miserable by screening everything that goes into your body and still break out(as stated in your other thread) while the rest of us will take this CURE and eat whatever the hell we want

LMFAO, this kid serious? Can't be with a name like that...funny stuff.

Like i've said before, i am CLEAR and have been for quite some time due to DIET changes. You can do and read all these silly BS cures on the internet and try them. Acne isn't an external problem that MANY would like to believe, but keep doing what you are doing, not only does it sound stupid, in the end you'll be crying back for a real cure.

Now shoo!

hey you might wanna tell all these people that got rid of acne with it that it was just their imagination and they still have acne even though they can't see it, haha you're pathetic, you really refuse to believe that people have defied your "theory" and beaten acne in ways other than not being allowed to eat 80% of food that exists

oh yeah and from your other thread posted a week ago
"Like you, i have acne and it gets real bad, i can't do much and i have a hard time communicating face to face with people,"

doesn't really sound like you're doing much better then everyone else that has beaten acne with this method, but really I'll stop now because you have acne and I don't and in the end you need a lot more to clinch onto than I do

[DonFlamingo]

Do you have to apply the urine to a clean face? I only wash, tone, moisturize my face at night, so I was wondering if I apply urine in the morning if it will clash with what's already on my face.
