I have given up on soaps and wash my face with 0% Fat Fage Greek yogurt and it is the best thing I've done for my skin and my teenage son's as well. It is also great as a 30 minute mask. I tried thi...

A search led me to an NIH page that mentioned that the formula comes in a cleanser, cleansing cloths, and creams. Do you just use the cream of the cleanser as well? I would love to hear back from yo...

Has anyone heard anything more recent about this research?

We are still using this and like it very much.

My 17 year old son has acne that I think would be considered moderate, but shaving has been extremely difficult for him. He is using a trimmer and it is pulling and tugging and nicking his blemishs. ...

The same thing happened to my son. He cannot tolerate commerical cleansers. I know it sounds strange, and it smells odd, but consider nonfat yogurt. The greek type is not as messy as it is creamy. ...

Yogurt. Wash with it (1/2 a teaspoon) daily and leave it on as a mask once or twice a week for 30 minutes. My teenage son and I use nonfat Greek Fage. Witch Hazel with no alcohol and added aloe for ...

Green Gables retired from the site last year, but she has provided a lot of information on how she cleared her hormonal acne. Maybe you will find this helpful:

The last photo you posted shows a remarkable improvement in just two weeks. Whatever you are doing appears to be helping!

I have a sixteen year old son suffering from acne since age 12. Last year he was prescribed Fish Oil or Flax Oil for his dry eye condition. He broke out immediately from it and I then read that hormo...

I got the Humco brand from a local pharmacy. De la Cruz also sells it. It also goes by the name Flowers of Sulfur.

This formula is working out great. It is not a miracle of course, but it works great for blackheads, keeps pores clean without having to use a cleanser, and is a good spot treatment. The only drawba...

My son uses it and I can't smell it on him (affer he rinses it off) unless I am within inches of his face.

I've posted about how I like the De La Cruz 10% sulfur ointment for treating acne. However, I've never been comfortable about the 90% Polyethylene Glycol absorbing into my skin. So I picked up some...

How about dabbing a little moisturizer or essential oil that has a pleasant smell just beneath your nose so it blocks the scent of the sulfur?

I'm glad to hear that you're seeing some good results with the esthetician and new products. Too bad you have to wait so long to see a dermatologist. He has never been before? My son has been to qu...

Years ago a friend recommended Cetaphil and I immediately disliked it after the first use. Then I realized the person recommending it never had a problem with acne. Maybe you could give it to someone...

Coconut oil can be clogging for some. Others love it for their skin. You have to see what it does for you. I try to avoid it if possible. However, my daughter is using natural black soap that like...

Quite a few people report that their acne gets worse with fish oil, so if you plan on getting your Omega 3 that way, be forewarned. My son broke out terribly after 5 days on a good quality fish oil (...

Alternamista - Thank you for all the excellent inofrmation you bring to this forum!

I'm glad to hear it isn't a common problem. I've added a few new foods lately and I really didn't want kiwifruit to be the culprit. We are eating one a day lately, which seems reasonable. I'm just ...

My son still uses the witch hazel as his main cleanser. First a warm water wash with a reusable Bamboo towel (found in the cleaning section of health food stores...love those!) then he applies the wi...

I'm just wondering if kiwifruit causes breakouts for many people. It's so nutritious, I hope that isn't what's causing the recent breakout.

I am curious about your recipe. Would you mind sharing it? My son has tried sulfur and SA fairly successfully, but never together. They sound like fairly low strength chemicals, but you didn't say h...

Welcome! I think you will find a lot of in the way of support and resources here. You might consider sharing what your diet and lifestyle looks like as well as any products that you put on your skin...
