Hi, i am new here and will like to share my acne story and what has worked so far.
I have had acne on and off for over 20 years however recently i started a regime and i have been pretty clear for months now.
I wash face with a mild herbal indian soap(medimix/chandrika), put about 2 drops of jojoba oil on my face thereafter use a sunscreen and i am good to go for the a.m
At night, wash with same soap, wait 30 mins and apply retin a 0.1% gel. During the day, i take zinc supplements and a probiotic. I also drink a lot of green tea. That is about all.
For those that have tried retin a and seems not to work,kindly stick with the gel and please give it time also drop all other things you use alongside retin a because they could be irritants when used with retin a. Just use a simple herbal soap and moisturize always.
I hope this helps someone. my skin is now so supple like a baby's own and when i look in the mirror, i find it hard to believe its me.
