I started using this yesterday, it really stays on the skin for a while doesn;t it! or am i just not rubbing it in enough haha!? It feels like it's drying my skin out so hopefully itll dry my spots!

Oh, god I love this stuff. Thanks, Britney! It really helps my skin so much, and all of my bacne is gone. I love the tingling feeling on my back it just feels so calming.

Wow, I'm definately going to try this out. I really want my bacne gone, because it's so embarrassing and disgusting. I didn't go to my junior prom because of it, and I'm contemplating whether or not I should go this year if I still have it. It's really taken a toll on my self-esteem and I just want it gone!!! I want to be able to go try on cute tank tops and not hate my skin. I've tried everything, so let's hope this one works! Thanks!

Do you rub the powder in or just sprinkle it on?

[zillamosnta]

The way I use it is pour it into my hand then rub it around my back, shoulders, chest and upper arms. It works really well, but I think BP and AHA are still the key for my bacne

Oh okay. Thanks!

I've been using this a few days. I had to stop at the weekend cause I went to a music festival and thought I'd be taking the mick a bit pouring it on my back whilst in a tiny tent, so haven't used it as much as is recommended, but I haven't had one new spot. I still have my scarring on the tops of my arms though which i HATE cause i can't wear any vests

Does this stuff work better then Dan's regimen? I have moderate back acne with a heeelllllllll of scars! (I pick every body pimple i get and it turns into a scar the next day), also do you guys apply it when your backs wet so it dissolves? I just bought a 16 oz bottle...hope it works !

[zillamosnta]

nah do it when it's dry.

Try BP then Gold Bond.

Every single zit on my back is gone and now I just need these fuckin red marks to go away

[yaqz]

I'm about to start to do something for my back acne..and I just bought a pack of this hopefully it comes in soon. I was wondering if this sounds like an acceptable regimen

Wash back (Cleanser)
Apply Bio Oil
Apply Powder

Sound good to you guys? Think I should add in any AHA? Also I was thinking about adding olive oil into my face regimen...any thoughts on that..thanks much appreciated.

Found this article and thought Id post it. Though its mainly about the benefits of zinc oxide in mineral makeup.

http://www.portland-...2007-05-04.html

Besides expediting wound healing, zinc oxide has proven itself effective at removing facial blemishes as equaling vexing as acne- warts. According to a report in the International Journal of Dermatology, topically applied zinc oxide treated warts better than a combination of salicylic acid (a common active ingredient in topical acne medications) and lactic acid.

Another remedial trait of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide is their drying capacity. Experiments with zinc oxide presented in Skin Research and Technology demonstrated that this mineral has a drying and peeling effect on the skin. Similarly, acne drugs like isotretinoin (also trademarked as Accutane) exhibit a drying and peeling effect on the skin that ultimately helps reduce a patient's acne lesion count and the visibility of acne scarring.

does it get rid of scarrs too?

[Homer0001]

Question, is it worth applying if I'm going to be sweating all day? I live in a really hot city and just walking around outside maybe a total of 30 minutes each day really makes me sweat like hell. So would this stuff work on the body and face if 5 minutes after applying I'm sweating profusely?

[iamafreak]

Thanks for posting this, OP. I can't seem to find the regular Gold Bond Body Powder. It's all extra strength or medicated or extra comfort or medicated original strength... does it make any difference which one you use? Or should I just get some generic baby powder? Thanks...

[SimplePimple]

This is cool!

Can I buy this off the internet in Europe??? Anyone with a link et.c?

And: Can anyone who's been using this for a while please report in?

Would you reccomend me to go on Dans back regimen or this? Which is cheaper and easier?

thanks

[WesleyWhitehead]

Didn't really work for me. It did seem to lessen the appearance of acne while it was on but mainly cause my skin was white and powdery. When I washed it off it looked the same as normal. It didn't really clear much up and I still had a few new pimples sprout up while using it.

I think it's worth it to try for yourself but it didn't really affect me positvely or negatively.

Going to order this gold bond powder tomorrow but just curious what everybody uses for a body wash. I have tried many diffrent ones with no help so I figured I would pick up a new one when I buy the powder. Thanx for any who reply!!

[jiveturkey86]

has anyone else had reduced results after using this product for a long time? it worked great in the beggining but it has seemed to lose its effectiveness after a few months

[MrHelper]

Yeah I tried this many years back <----.. But it didn't help me at all.
Also used on face, not good... not good. Especially if you have flaky skin.
