#3341085 The Z I I T Method

Posted by Dan on 16 April 2013 - 11:46 AM

Ever start to get a zit right before a big event and wondered what is everything you could possibly do to prevent it?

 

Check out The ZIIT Method (Zinc + Ibuprofen + Ice + Treat) for everything you can do to stop it in its tracks.

I want to know how this method works for you guys, so once you've tried it please vote in the poll and let me know how it worked for you.




#3329360 Spf Is Coming This Spring

Posted by Dan on 25 February 2013 - 03:00 PM

At long last an Acne.org SPF is on its way.
_____
 
When: It should be for sale this Spring.
 
What sizes: It will be sold in an 8oz. bottle and 16oz. bottle for now, but may be available in an 8oz. tube in the future.
 
SPF rating: After FDA required testing, results are in and it will have an SPF rating of 16. I made sure to choose active ingredients which produce true broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection.
 
Price: We have not priced it yet. It will be a bit more expensive than the regular Moisturizer since it costs quite a bit more to produce, but we'll do everything we can to keep the price as low as possible. 
_____
 
Thanks for your undying patience with this. I can't wait to hear what you think of it. Follow us on twitter or like us on Facebook to be kept in the loop on when it's available.

#3248765 Will The Regimen Help The Acne Birth Control Causes The First 2-3 Months?

Posted by Dan on 26 May 2012 - 03:23 PM

Hormonal acne can be tougher to treat.  Any time we mess around with our hormones, it's serious business.  Just look at people who take steroids and have such a hard time with acne.  However, regardless of the cause of acne, and whether we are artificially messing with hormone levels, proper treatment is still a great bet at lessening symptoms.  The Regimen should absolutely help you stay as clear as possible during the transitional time, but may require that you are quite strict--using PLENTY of BP, following The Regimen steps to the letter, and really doing everything you can to lessen irritation.  Let us know how it goes.


#3235658 Acne.org Got Hacked

We're back up and running, but lost a few recent posts. Now we're looking into ways we can tighten up security.

#3232810 Thyme Is Best Healer For Acne, Scientists Say

Posted by Dan on 09 April 2012 - 02:47 PM

I read the article as well.  I've seen things like this before.  In vitro doesn't mean much, but it is still interesting.  I'm always looking for a natural way to clear acne.  I'd be interested in reading further research on this.  I'm also curious to hear if more of you try it as well and what you think of it.  

Regarding thyme, or any other herbal remedy, what I would like to see is complete clearing of acne, however.  Acne is well known to be susceptible to placebo, so we can expect thyme, or anything else for that matter, to reduce acne lesion count by about 30%.  What would be compelling would be something that can clear acne as well as properly applied benzoyl peroxide.


#3231628 2 Weeks On The Regimen And Feel Like Giving Up

Posted by Dan on 05 April 2012 - 03:46 PM

I'll echo whatthekell.  Hang in there you guys.  Some breakouts are expected in the first few weeks.  Be super gentle with your skin, and very generous with BP, and follow The Regimen to the T and you can expect your skin to get better and better.  

Not doing anything rarely works, let me tell you.  And quitting prematurely will likely just send you on a continued wild goose chase of trying other stuff that won't work.  The Regimen does work, but you just have to stick with it and follow it precisely.  Keep us posted...


#3228889 What Kinds Of Testing/oversight Do Acne.org Products Go Through?

Posted by Dan on 27 March 2012 - 01:48 PM

The FDA requires that any product that contains an active ingredient undergo stability testing and then each batch must be assayed.  We do this just like any other company must.  Other products, such as cleanser and moisturizer, do not require this testing.  However, we manufacture using stringent industry standard  procedures.


#3228871 excessive eye flaking/redness/swollen

Posted by Dan on 27 March 2012 - 12:58 PM

Stop using everything for right now.  You may have developed an allergy.  Try using each product that you are currently using on the inside of your elbow for a few days (do not use two products in the same place) and see what happens.  Hopefully you can nail down what is causing the sensitivity this way.


#3228867 Sunscreen/sunblock

Posted by Dan on 27 March 2012 - 12:53 PM

There's really nothing great out there unfortunately.  My favorite right now (albeit expensive) is to use Philosophy Hope In A Jar SPF30 mixed half and half with Acne.org Moisturizer (and a few drops of jojoba usually).  If I wasn't using benzoyl peroxide, I would be completely in love with the Philosophy SPF, but any zinc or titanium based SPF is going to create flakiness if used after benzoyl peroxide, thus the need to mix it with some more hydrating stuff.

In the meantime, I am still working on an SPF for us.  Check the blog for updates on that.


#3204178 New Nutrition/holistic Health Reviews Section

Posted by Dan on 13 January 2012 - 01:47 PM

I added a Nutrition/Holistic Health section to the reviews pages where you can review different diets, exercise regimens, and the like.  Feel free to add your reviews and suggest new items if they are not already listed.

#3201387 Aha+ Sold Out For The Moment

Posted by Dan on 05 January 2012 - 02:12 PM

My auto shop kit contains AHA and is due to ship on the 9th. Will you hold auto ship orders til the AHA comes in? (In my case, that would be fine). I love that product, thank you for making it.


We purposely set aside some AHA+ for people who are currently receiving auto-ship kits.  Your order should arrive on time and with AHA+.
