Hi! I started using diluted ACV as a toner because I read about balancing the skin's pH levels to help naturally ward off bacteria, heal, etc. I don't know the exact ratio but I pour a little bit of A...

Oh, thank you for that very informative post! I think you are right and my mistake was not rinsing the acid off after a couple of minutes. I'm grateful it's at least self-neutralizing after 10 minutes...

Hi,I have been reading your previous posts,my nose can also become a oil slick in a minute and I did notice that if I didn't pop my cyst straight away,the seed would be released rock hard. I know tha...

Also, I find the mention of fats and such interesting. Do I understand correctly, that fat in the body will be excreted through pores? Or that toxins are stored in fatty tissues. Flushing niacin can r...

Congrats on finding something!!! I have not tried neem, but have used tea tree oil and manuka oil. My husband hates the smell of them. lol I find they do disappear after a few mins, though. I am so gl...

I've noticed the same effects on vacation. I can go with breakouts and while on vacation my skin clears. It's amazing. However, I do not travel to sunny areas and do not stay out in the sun any more t...

I think prevention is better than cure,fortunately I found my prevention quite by accident some 30 years ago after suffering for 10 years from the age of 15 to 25,although for the last 30 years I have...

Supplementing digestive enzymes in the long run is not good as you want to produce them naturally. Fruits especially pineapple and papaya and raw honey have digestive enzymes. You can try zinc with vi...

That sounds like what happened to me when I used a 10% BP spot treatment. It looks bad, but once it dries enough and peels off, the skin is ok. (but i won;t be doing that again!) What pH was the 5% f...

What a fantastic idea for a thread! I am running low on my pH strips but once I get a new supply I'll test some of the products I have on hand and add them here. Where do you get your pH strips? My...

I used the generic walmart brand (equate) 10%. It's not too expensive. However, I could not put it full strength on my face even though I'm super oily. I mixed it with a glycerin and water moisturizer...

Hi! I have used this. Not very long..probably a month or less. I like it fine and it didn't break me out. I was having some issues with retinol continually making me have spots and someone suggested t...

I tried to find a pH list of OTC products in the forums and haven't had any luck. I have seen some lists online, but thought I would list ones that I have tested here at home, for anyone interested. I...

You can use the SA in the mornings and the retin a in the evenings. Just don't use them at the same time. And I would suggest trying it slowly to see how you'll react. I can't say about the oil metho...

People with acne are often lacking in their metabolism of certain types of fats ~ they do not have enough Coenzyme-A in the body. The fats do not break down, and instead get deposited in your sebaceou...

I haven't tried this yet but IF it does work, I'd assume it was due to the eucalyptus which is an anti-inflammatory. It is also anti bacterial, anti fungal and many other positives. However, you could...

I understand that stress negatively affects progesterone. Some time back I had wondered if progesterone (or homnal balance overall) was one problem. I have been under quite a bit of stress for long pe...

My face is oily, too. I've read that eucalyptus oil may shrink the glands and reduce sebum production. I have not personally tried it yet. I read it online : Has anyone else used or heard of usin...

I take primrose and borage oil orally. I started with high doses of over 10 grams and currently take couple grams a day. I mix a lot of adaptogens these days without problems. It seems I have built so...
