Fish and flax oil causes breakouts in some people, so keep an eye on that. My son is still recovering from a terrible break out after taking a really good quality fish oil once a day for a week. He's...

I hope your son sees some improvement with the new products! Keep us posted on how they work out. I enjoyed some of the skin care videos on the Dermatologica web site. My son was prescribed Fish o...

I certainly understand about the typo, especially in a headline! The article made it sound like the acne-fighting brown seaweed can only be found in Brittany. But I found that it is a common type of...

I was just reading about brown seaweed and zinc being helpful in treating acne. It was been formulated into some products made in the UK. Here's a link to an article: Has anyone tried it?

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...

Try this guideline: I love California Olive Ranch. It's so fruity. It's nothing like those "Bottled in Italy" olive oils I used to buy, where the oils come from all over the world, just get bottl...

Lots of people like Cerave.

Have you ever tried yogurt as a facial cleanser? It has a pH of 5.5, so it won't dry out your skin and it can also be used as a mask. I use a non fat Greek yogurt. A little goes a long way.

Fish oil and oily fish break me out in jawline cysts for some reason. I literally never get cystic acne anymore (unless I eat soy, dairy and oily fish). Ive always suspected fish oils gave me jawline ...

Thank you so much for the thread about pH! Lots of great info there. I called the company who makes the African black soap that I bought, and asked what the pH is. The girl was very pleasant, but didn...

Meat, eggs, dairy from pastured, not grain fed, animals will have the EFA ratios they should have and that we should consume. Thanks for pointing that out alternavista. I just read about the differ...

My son, age 15 has dry eyes and was prescribed Omega 3 in the form of flax or fish oil supplements. He tried fish oil for 2 weeks and his acne worsened. I'm afraid to try flax oil or ground flax see...

Oh no, after getting pretty clear, I think my son's acne is getting worse since starting fish oil supplements. He has dry eyes and two doctors told him to take fish or flax oil. He started Carlson's...

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...

Maybe you should go to a dermatologist to find out what it actually is, so you can get the correct topical. Because I am worried that they will do the typical "antibiotics + topical" when that has n...

I use the cream in that strength and it took a month to see any peeling. It may go faster for you as I only used it every other night. Just give it some time and be ready with a moisturizer. I mix ...

No, my son didn't experience itchiness using the De La Cruz ointment. But his face was quite oily and he doesn't wash his face with a cleanser. So maybe the ointment is itchier when the skin is real...

I love that the De La Cruz 10% sulfur ointment is unscented. I was looking this morning for an unscented sulfur soap, and found one I'd never noticed before called Cuticare. I wondered if anyone her...
