Thanks! I'm looking into eucalyptus oil. I read it can be antibacterial, anti inflammatory and good for acne. I found a journal online talking about using it to reduce sebum production. It's pretty i...

Thank you very much! I don't think you were patronizing at all, and I appreciate you taking the time to respond! I've come to the topical intervention because what I was doing internally brought me as...

Lots of tags but rest assured I don't use all those at the same time xD I have contracted PCOS (polycystic ovaries syndrome) and it has taken a toll on my health and appearance. I was losing weight an...

Green Gables, I hope you are still logging onto acne.org. You've created a wealth of information that I will start reading through. In the meantime, I have some questions about saw palmetto and spiro....

Thank you, Green Gables! I have been using Skinceuticals .3% retinol for 10 months and my initial thought was continued purging. After looking online about the length of purging for prescription retin...

I was wondering why women's cycle information doesn't really mention testosterone. Sorry, I wasn't clear.

Acne mid-month could be high testosterone bc testosterone peaks mid month too. Most everything you read about women's cycles leaves that out for some reason. I only found out when my endo told me. I a...

I was just reading up on retinol online then came to the boards here to check some items out. From what I read, retinol can be just as beneficial, even in low concentration as retin a. Now as far as T...

Thanks for posting!! I find it really helpful! It is good to know potential offenders in case you start a new product and breakout--you can backtrack to (hopefully) the reason. Like you said, not all ...
