I've tried the 'caveman' thing once or twice and the longest was for about 9 weeks! I just found my skin got so dry and blotchy and flaked all the time. I never saw that 'levelling off' period. Eventu...

Suggesting food has very little to do with acne isn't the best advice. Everyone's body reacts differently and whilst the poster above has a brother who eats rubbish and has flawless skin (lucky him) t...

Sorry, I know this is an olddddddddddd thread. I've had a fair few breakouts lately and I couldn't work out why. I was Googling (as you do) and came across keto and paleo diets and people saying th...

Bumping this thread with research from just last year (2018)

Thanks. So it's day 10 now and a lot of what was coming out on Sunday/Monday is healing. I'm still having some minor blemishes and pimples come up but it's manageable. I will continue on with the MO f...

I think oats are okay because although their GI isn't low it's the GL which is most important and that is low. So eating oats shouldn't spike your blood sugar level as it's passed through much slower....

Sorry to hear this. Sadly this forum is pretty inactive these days so I don't know if you'll get much response. I do empathise - although my acne is rather mild, I am 35 (male) and still suffer with ...

Thanks for finding the link. So I've been testing MO since Monday last week, this is now day 8 and to be honest I've only seen my skin get worse with each day. I'm concerned this just isn't working fo...

May check out that cleanser. Thanks for the tip.

What's your diet like too? Did you change anything around the same time? If you eat something naughty would the MO counteract it and prevent a breakout or would you still need to be careful?

For me I will skip the orange oil. I have tried using it before on my skin and it seemed to irritate it. I am quite sensitive though. Do you use a cleanser or moisturiser? Or does the MO work for you ...

I'm in the UK and purchased an oil from a health food shop (Holland and Barrett). I am on day 3 and haven't been applying directly to my face/neck (where I get breakouts) but other parts of my body. A...

Great improvement. Thanks for sharing your journey.

I can't view the pictures for some reason but happy for you and your progress. I purchased some magnesium oil yesterday so will try it for a while and see how I get on.

Hi @Nettie25 Sorry to see no one has replied to your posts but good for you to continue making updates. Can I ask some questions? Where did you find out about magnesium oil? I've heard of people ...

I appreciate that it can cause a fluctuation in hormones and that it could lead to pimples or a breakout. However, from my own personal experience, if I go for a week or more without doing it, during ...

How hot do you have your water? Might sound like a silly question but if you're showering twice a day and the water is hot it may just be drying out your skin too much or aggravating existing acne. S...

So, to be clear, you are basically following a modified cave man regime - in the sense that you don't cleanse your face and you are only showering twice a week? Or am I mistaken? Do you moisturise? Do...

I did this regime for around 8-9 weeks. I honestly didn't see a huge improvement in my skin and it actually got really dry and blotchy. I realized that my skin really does need moisturizer and there's...

Umm. I don't see anywhere on their website which suggests this product should be ingested.......

I tried it for 2 months. My skin got very dry and ultimately I decided to stop as I need to use moisturiser. I noticed some improvement but I still had regular breakouts. For me it wasn't a cure but i...

Surely it contains SLS which is bad for skin/acne?
