Ok, I decided to turn this thread into sort of a log for me. I'll do weekly updates, maybe even daily depending on what changes I see on my face. It finally got here today (June 4th), and I'll trying it for a month. I hope this really works for me. They did say that it will work better on sensitive skin, but I dont think my skin is sensitive. I don't know the right definition of sensitive skin, but my face can handle most of moisturizers, cleansers, acne kits without too much problem. I do, however, get few reactions to clearasil products, very few sunscreens, and Glycolic products.
Anyways, I'll post later tonight abot how the first application went.

The Original Post:

Pretty much the thread title says it all. Have anyone tried Dermaline or Diana Stalder products to whiten their skin/marks?

I was actually looking for something like this. My entire face tone darkened due to TCA peels. Those of you who are wondering if TCA peel did anything for my marks, I tried few TCA Peels from 12% to 18% and it did get rid of dark marks in few areas that was there for a year or two. It probably got rid of about 30% of my marks, but a bigger problem came from the fact that my entire face darkened due to these peels, I even used sunscreen religiously, so I didn't know what I did wrong. So I emailed the place where I bought it from and they said post-peel hyperpigmentation is not uncommon and that I should just use gentle scrubs until it goes away.. I was very disappointed because it was the hyperpigmentation that I've been trying to get rid of year after year and nobody told me about this "post-peel hyperpigmentation."

So while I was researching for a different option to get rid of my hyperpigmentations since I basically gave up on TCA Peels, I stumbled upon Dermalien and Diana Stalder.

Their products look very promising and they're really good with customer service. I actually ordered Dark Acne Scar kit, it should be arriving in 2-3 days. This kit's supposed to lighten up the areas I apply it on while targetting the dark marks from acne. So if anyone tried this, please post and tell me about your experiences with the product. If no one has tried a product from Dermaline or Diana Stalder. I'll try it for a month and post weekly on this thread about improvements.

hi guys, I've been to few dermatologists and they all tell me i have acne because of puberty (i'm 18, male). I'm sort of dense/slow, so I want to make sure puberty = hormone acne right? At least I think my case is since I've had it for so long >.<. Anyhow, I agree that it's probably puberty but I've had acne for 7 years and the last 2 of the 7 years have been terrible. i currently have (and had) severe acne and i want to correct this.

anyways, even from my own experiences, everything seems to point towards hormones. I've tried everything to figure out the root of my acne problem. I've changed my diet, not to the extremes but took out dairy/sugar and started eating more balanced and healthier meals. I've done 3 day apple fast, enemas, tons of acne products (proactive/clinique/neutrogena/clean&clear), supplements (TONS of them, seemed like it was working at the time but nope), natural regimens (e.g. no topicals/harsh products), baking soda/acv, and chemical peels. i've also changed my food source, so i get them from better places, even my water.

basically, I've tried all these things and failed miserably. so, one of the few more things left to try is to perhaps fix my hormones and i have no idea how. I've been to dermatologists but they suck, the ones around my area >.<. so i want to take this into my own hands and try to fix it, but i don't know too much about hormonal acne, so i want some advices. any comment/replies will be appreciated. thanks. by the way, I read somewhere here about saw palmetto helping with hormone acne and such? any information is appreciated. thanks again.

Hi, guys. I've been a regular post here for a short while then stopped posting for months. During those months I was trying one method after another that was given from this site. I was trying many different methods of getting rid of my horrible severe acne, even selfishly spending a lot more money than I can. Eventually, I came to a complete halt, when I took MSM supplement which is supposed to help with your acne and acne marks. I was allergic to it. I've gotten treated for the allergic reaction but my body never ever felt the same as before. Even 5 months after, my throat still feels like its 40% closed up. Not to mention, my face has been ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING since then. I've been getting more acne after acne. I'd like to take a moment to explain that my acne isn't just like "I have cysts here and there." My FACE is entirely covered with acne and absolutely self-confidence killing acne marks. There is not one spot thats clear on my face. My face is basically 80% acne marks (chin/jaw/neck area is the worst, its not even red.. it's yellowish dark completely different from my normal skin tone with huge red marks on them) and 20% cysts. It looks disgusting especially my neck/jaw area. It is yellow and, yes, it does look like as if I have some kind skin infection or fungus... Trust my words, I have SEVERE acne. I have tons of blackheads on my nose that is too stubborn to disappear, I have small skin tags, whiteheads, cysts, acne marks ranging from red,brown,pink, to even yellow.. It's serious and I want to get rid of it. So now, I've had acne for about 7 years and as you can see it's KILLING me. I have had no social life for past months and months and only thing thats been controlling me is my acne. I know what most people are gonna say. Get out more, enjoy life, dont let it control you, etc. The thing is I've tried all that, for my entire life, I've tried to ignore acne. For my entire school life (I'm 18 btw), I've had many many friends, partied, went traveling, didnt care about acne whatsoever, but it's just gotten to a point where I can't look at myself in the mirror without breaking down. Acne... it really does beat you down and destroys any will or hope you have towards life. I really want to get rid of this acne... So please if anyone can recommend me anything, products, regimen, or any kind of help. It'd be greatly appreciated. By the way, some of you guys might recommend a really strict diet or things of that matter. I can't do those kind of diets, I mean, I can do diets that requires me to eliminate certain foods or taking certain foods but it can't be too strict due to financial reasons (my family's been in a huge debt for past few years). Also, I can't even take accutane because I don't have a health card and can't them for personal/legal reasons. Also I tried TCA peel to get rid of my acne marks and it didnt even help one bit. I'd like to mention that if you've used TCA peel in the past 6 months you can't use Accutane, which is another reason why I can't resort to using Accutane even without a health card. Acne isn't the only problem with my life but, without acne, I might ACTUALLY be able to help my family get out of debt, change the way I live, make differences, and enjoy life. I might be asking for too much when I have to little to support but please help. I have considered suiciding but it's a foolish thought, and I don't want to give up on life. I really want to stop experiencing this hell and enjoy life. Thanks a lot in advance.

I've been to different pharmacies, shoppers drug mart, and wal mart and I can't find Castor Oil that can be apply to skin except the ones they sell for hair. I might be wrong (correct me plz if I am >.<) but is it the hair ones that you apply on your acne? It just doesn't seem right because it's not in liquid form (its like a gel/cream) and it says it's for scalp and hair. So if anyone can tell me where I can buy Castor Oil in Canada to apply on your skin, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ugh, I've been to shoppers drug mart/walmart/Rexell/pharmacies and they only sell castor oil for hair (gel). I'm trying to find castor oil that you can apply on your skin. Can anyone tell me where I can find myself some castor oil? Thanks a lot in advance
