Ok, I HAD to write you this. I am completely new to this forum but I want people to hear my story and hopefully it will change everyones life. I'm a 28 year old female. Ive suffered from fairly moderate acne since i was ....12? It was miserable. I always had what seemed to be bumps, and blocked pores all over my face. Never really had cystic acne to bad. Maybe just a couple at a time. But as for a bumpy face, there were weeks where litteraly every square inch of my face had a bump. I wouldn't even go out some days. Not to mention my face seemed to scar and leave red marks even if I didn't touch my breakouts (which I wasn't always so good at doing shhhh). Well, at 28 years old, I had tried almost EVERYTHING, and I mean this litteraly. Everything from my diet, to hollistic to lasers, to potent creams and pills. So many thing I thought were going to be 'the cure'. So many things took my 'bumps' down to half of what I had on my face, but after months of each thing, it was still only half as good. I dealt with this again for years, having a half broke out face. I was thrilled and accepted it because I could at least have a little more confidence. Besides everyone always says 'stick it out, it takes quite awhile to work'. But after six months of just about every product known to man, I noticed no improvements, I was just stuck with this I thought. I started to feel down, over the past year my mood just sank. I started becoming depressed that at 28 years old, I still had to cake my face in makeup. I had to have my kids always ask why my face has "boo boos" all over it. Hearing my kids tell me they hope they don't look like me, was heart breaking. No doctor, no tv commercial, no.amount of research... nothing was helping. So, in order to at least try and fix one new problem I started researching natural ways to boost my mood and energy. I somehow stumbled upon vitamin d deficiancy and also krill oil. I started taking the emegen-c vitamin d and calcium drink packets....and Dr. Mercolas krill oil (one kids, yes kids lol, pill in the a.m. and one at night). My mood started to drastically change, I was ecstatic enough about that. But another thing I noticed, LITTERALY the next morning, was that many of my bumps were going down. I thought eh, this is coincidence. But the next day, more went down, then the next and the next and the next day, more and more. I thought no way, this is to good to be true. Well, as I'm sitting here, writing this this a.m. I looked in the mirror this morning, and I have, here again I use this word litteraly!! Have three breakouts on my face. My red scars are amazingly reduced, (and the lemon trick for scars really does help, slowly, but surely). I am thrilled, I am beyond words to describe how I feel now. All I can say is PLEASE research the benefits of vitamin d and krill oil. Both of those suppliments cannot! be over taken though, I only use 1,000 iu of vitamin d and 320 mg of krill oil. Anymore than that can be dangerous. Krill oil can actually help modify the acne gene in your dna. It's ridiculously amazing. Vitamin d helps control the hormone that makes you have the acne inflammation. Please just research this. It's been 16 years since I've seen my skin like this.

. ) and at the moment im getting more. And to be quiet honest i really don't know why i have acne, i shower every night, wash my face every morning and night, i workout 3 times a week and my diet is ok in the sense that i dont eat takeaways every night and drink fissy drinks, i eat lots of fruit eg apples, bannas, grapes oranges and ill eat at least 3-4 a day and drink plenty of water. The most frusting part i know other people that don't do what i do yet im the one with the acne, how is that fair ? Like last weekend my skin was smooth (Although i had loads of acne scars on it and still looked aweful) no greasyness atall and no new spots. i go out on a two day piss up and the day after im left with spots everywhere, i know achohol is bad and thats a natural reaction but none of my friends wake up with half of mount everest on there face like i do.
