PS Tap, I think it's a little ridiculous that you yell at us when we give you sources that aren't from reputable science magazines, and then you post a short excerpt from wikipedia on THREE DIFFERENT ...

Well at least you can admit when you're wrong. Acetic acid is not an AHA and so all your studies you showed about AHAs do not apply to acetic acid. Tap, ACV contains malic acid which IS an AHA......

Putting 0.00000001M HCl on your face will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. You correctly point out that at the same concentration HCl and Acetic acid will have different pH values. And you are also correct in ...

:dance: If your skin has been red it sounds irritated like you scrubbed it, maybe it is the reinoid :think: Yeah, the retinoid was making me a little dry and red (hence why I've been reluctant to ...

Shmelis is jumping on the bandwagon! Congratulations to all y'all on convincing the cynic who has tried everything that this is worth trying (the fact that it was a little more than $3 for the suppli...

Ok, gonna try to get these worms back in the can. "Aspirin is NOT salicylic acid" Correct. Aspirin is the trademark name for the compound, acetylsalicylic acid.....which readily converts to salicyli...

Now, people, before 'Tap' even responds, I can guarantee three things: 1) he (she?) will criticise the use of my MESH search terms. He will pick up on the fact that none of these articles contain the...

Yes... But saying "aspirin = salicylic acid" is not correct... they are very closely related, but since they act in different ways when you put 'em on your face it doesn't make any sense to say that t...

In every post you make in all the acne fourms you talk about Apple cider vinegar. Would you please post research studies that show the efficacy of apple cider vinegar in preventing acne and fading red...

OK GUYS, i FINALLY USED MANDELIC ACID. SEE THE MANDELIC ACID THREAD Cool Melbourne! I'm gonna go read it now...

How do you find out the pH of a product? With a pH indicator... you can buy cheap test strips at any pool supply or fish store, if you don't have access to a lab.

shmelis i think you're being a little too nit-picky, technical term-y. really. and come on, from your definition of a "cure", ACV definitely is a cure. i'm under the impression that once my redmarks- ...

I didn't change the title to make it sound like ACV is in fact a cure for acne, but if you have done enough reading like I have about this then ACV would sure sound like a cure for many things. In som...

Can add a few aspirin in the Toner or make a toner with asprin in it separately. This asprin is essentially nothing but Salicylic Acid which is a Beta Hydroxy Acid (exfoliates skin), SA also dries up ...

Probably won't do much, though it may make it go away faster (and by faster I mean weeks instead of months...)

Thirteen year old boy. Then is Accutane the last option he has? Might want to hold off and try something else first, unless you've exhausted ALL options (and have used them exactly according to l...

Good post, Poormedstudent...   However, you're not going to get anywhere on two fronts... I agree with you that the practice of B5 megadosing is foolish for a number of reasons and that the study...

This is making me very nervous. Of all the people reading this, no one knows ANYONE whom has grown after taking accutane? I did go back and check the past thread, and there was one person who said h...

Doesnt brown rice mean it needs to be washed?? No, brown rice is a different kind of rice than white rice... it's not brown exactly, more like a light tan. It has more nutritional value than plai...

Ewwwwwwww.... I think this is no longer a legitimate thread (if it ever was to begin with...)

Is this some sort of joke? It's probably all in your head (no pun intended).

I highly doubt it is the doxy. I'm inclined to agree with your doctor... I don't want to accuse you of being a hypochondriac, but if you have it in your head that the drug is causing it you can make ...

Constipation causes acne? LMAO. Wow. Proof, please? There is no concrete evidence for that claim (other than people's personal experience), though many suspect that digestive and liver problems...

any suggestions to improve my acne thanks ! Mine was as bad or worse... probably the same number of blemishes/cysts but spread out over almost my entire back, not just the top half. Then I used ...

End flame war please, everybody? Let's argue about the topic, not about each other.   On that note, Melbournebloke, I do not go to Cornell OR Princeton. I do not cut or burn or otherwise a...
