Day 37ish Well, I am hopeful that the Min is possibly helping now, but I've also added some other components to my regimen that could be affecting things. As I mentioned above, this log is not only ...

Day 32 I wish I had better news to post. Still no real change. I am getting about one to two new whiteheads per day. I find myself confused BC one day it will look like I am clearing and the Min i...

Thanks for the reply. When did it start working for you? I'm unfortunately on day 27 and still getting plenty new breakouts. I'm very disappointed bc the last time I took it, it worked so well.

I think many of us understand comepletely what you are feeling. I've had acne for 15 years (now 30). I am leaving tomorrow for a business trip and feel mortified about my skin. I don't want anyone t...

I use tea tree oil to dry up the whiteheads. I also find that if I feel one starting (you know how you get that tingly or itchy sensation) I then put tea tree oil on it and it sometimes will prevent i...

Day 21: Well, if I had posted yesterday I would have said things were looking good. Everything seemed to be calming down and I had no whiteheads. Yay!!!!!........wrong. I woke up this morning with...

When I went gluten free, my skin purged quite a bit. I increased my veg/fruit intake and started supplements and my skin purged further. It started settling down after about 4 weeks.

I'm not extremely knowledgable about supplements, but when I was choosing one for myself I based it on my diet. For example, I already get a lot of beta carotene because I eat a lot of squash, sweet ...

Hi Miss soloist, I have been in pretty much the same situation as you. Although my acne never went away, it was manageable for the last few years up until about four months ago. I became desperate ...

I think I'm on Day 17. No major changes. The comeodones have mostly come to a head so I've been using tea tree oil to dry them up. I still think my skin is better compared to when I started, but it'...

Day 13 It looks like I jumped the gun a bit too quickly by assuming the Min started working already. I have about 7-10 new comeodones that have formed in the last 24 hours. I'm just hoping that the...

I have decided to create this log both to track my progress on minocycline, but also to track my progress coming off minocycline, since we all know that can be difficult. First some history.... I a...

I strongly recommend GLO minerals. My dermatologist recommended these products to me and they are great for covering redness and other imperfections. Also supposed to be great for the skin.

So I started EPO again 6 days ago. Beginning 6 months ago, I've been taking zinc and a multi. 3 weeks ago, I began taking candex. 2 weeks ago I added in omega 3. Last week I added in folic acid and E...

I started using these products 18 months ago and loved them. Within 2 months they cleared my mild acne. I was using the cleanser, solution, bio active gel, and antioxidant moisturizer. The problem ...

A few years ago I took evening primrose oil and it cleared my acne considerably after a couple weeks. However, I developed the side effect of GI upset (which was quite severe) and had to quit. I may ...

mommalove - I didn't take borage oil b/c from what I found on the web, it seems as though it has more side effects than EPO. For people who have reactions, they recommend EPO instead. I think I'm just...

wow! I didn't think people were still posting to this. It's been a while since I've been here, but I am sooooo happy to hear that some people have had a great response to EPO. It worked so well for me...

I've used Taz for 3 months on specific areas of my face. I didn't use it on my whole face b/c I wanted to see whether it really caused improvements or it was just natural waxing and waning. I didn't ...

Hi starrybabe,   How long have you been taking EPO? Has it worked for you?   My acne is sort of hard to explain. I think it would be classified as moderate. I don't have cysts. I have what m...

I thought I'd post an update since I stopped taking the EPO. I've only quit taking it for 4 days and my acne has come back full force today.....extremely quickly. This is so awful. I wish I could take...

pmezak - I have no clue what my blood type is, but maybe that will be something I look into. Thanks for the tip.   handsbella - I don't think that it causes harm to the stomach. For some people i...

yes, take with food. I think you can take oils without meals and they absorb well, but I was still told it is better to take after a meal.   Reading online, it appears to me that the way EPO work...

Handsbella - I'm not sure. Like I said in my original post, I don't claim this is a cure all for everyone. I just happened to have a great response to it. Some thoughts I have are: Do you take it wit...

JBHK - It sounds like your situation might be somewhat similar to mine. You may want to try primrose oil as well. If you do, let me know how it goes.   THETRUTHTOACNE - I appreciate everyone's op...
