I have posted this a few times prior but I guess its worth repeating on this thread. Check out the recent studies that show a link between acne and foods that rank high on the glycemic index. Highly g...

Hydroquinone is what my derm said will really fade red marks but some people are really sensitive to it. I have found that either glycolic or salycilic acid help them, as well as Vit C serum. I have s...

Hey how is sprio treating you? Well, i notice when i eat some certain foods, i break out..like sweets and chocolate. It's really hard to keep a "clean" diet because it's not really convenient I'm try...

Hey. I'm also on mino and Spiro and it has been great. However i believe the mino is doing the work as spiro is supposed to take much longer. We won't know unless we stop the mino which I'm scared to ...

Thanks, i hope so too. I'm really anxious because i am going to spend a lot of $ on something that may not work for me. I'm taking a few test too for my hormones and food allergies. I think they are g...
