I personally believe it doesn't matter how much of these vitamins you take, as long as the ratio is correct. A lot of these B vitamins work in a synergy. As an example, too much B-5 can and will compe...

I have heard that vitamin B5 is supposed to help, although I'm not sure how (or if) it impacts sebum production. I recently started taking B5 in addition to zinc, vitamin A, and vitamin E as these ar...

Vitamin A will cause dryness of the sebum, but im not sure it will "thin it out" like mucinex mucomyst does to mucus. I would assume water helps, but i am also curious about vitamins. Its probably a ...

the most balanced b-complex I found so far is solgar's b-complex stress formula with vitamin C. But even that gave me tiny pimples so... Since Solgar's B-Complex Stress Formula with Vitamin C contai...

Avoid b complexes, they have high % of B12 and biotin, which can cause acne if taken in high amounts. I couldn't remember which B vitamin(s) tend to cause problems, so thank thank you for clearing ...

highdose of vitamin a ? High Vit. A (Accutane) greatly reduces skin's oil production, but it's not the vitamin previously mentioned as "thinning" out sebum. I'm almost 100% certain it's one of the B...

Does anyone know what supplement(s) help normalize ("thin out") sebum, making it less thick/sticky and, thus, less likely to cause breakouts? I recall an Acne.org member mentioning that a certain sup...

Can anyone shed some light on which B vitamins--and at which strength(s)--are good for helping prevent and/or heal acne lesions? Every time I've tried taking a Vit. B Complex, I developed nodulocysti...

I know there's a vegan one by Cover FX that doesn't contain mineral oil, parabens, or sulfates. It's about $40 though, and I've read some reviews saying it's quite heavy. I've read a lot of reviews on...

I agree with whoever said mineral makeup makes lines and scars look more noticable. It's terrible about settling into any indentation. Have you ever tried a cream makeup? They're not as "slippery" as ...

I find it's best to use a liquid with a thin consistency. It won't add texture (good foundation will smooth textural issues) and there are some good ones out there now that don't clog your pores as mu...

I want to diminish the appearance of my rolling scars. (I've one box-car scar that's impossible to hide, though I try to downplay its depth with makeup.) But I find that liquid makeup tends to settle ...

Is AHA or BHA typically better for preventing and healing acne? Can either one (or both) help prevent nodulocystic acne, especially that caused by hormones? Also, can AHA/BHA diminish the depth of sh...

Last questions, I promise. i use the concealer all over my face as my foundation it works great and covers so well. it's just different from the foundation i am not sure why though. the intense p...

2. i use the smooth indulgance concealer i hate the smooth indulgance foundation it settled into every line and every pore and slid off my face in a few hours. That news is a bummer and doesn't bode...

The IB didn't really last 3 months. The IB for me was just a couple weeks. But getting over the IB, healing the red marks, and getting rid of some of the little bumps took much longer. Ahhh... Well,...

That's what I've suspected. Thank you for confirming this information. I guess I should bite the bullet and start using a retinoid sooner, rather than later. (I've always feared the IB that everyone t...

Retinoids are better for aging and acne than retinol. Retinol doesn't have much of an effect on acne at all. That's what I've suspected. Thank you for confirming this information. I guess I should b...

If anyone has used Dermablend Professional products, I'd like to know: 1) Is the use of Dermablend's primer necessary, or can you just apply the foundation? 2) How well did the foundation cover your...

I believe this is the answer you're looking for Actually, no. This info. I already knew. But I now realize that I could've been more clear in my original post. I'd like to know if a retinoid pro...

I've been reading that people can experience good anti-aging benefits for less money by using an OTC retinol product. But for those of us with acne due to malfunctioning pores/hormonal imbalance, is a...

Any shimmer effect would highlight scars. If you go for mineral foundation, choose one with a matte finish. If you don't mind me asking, do you scarring (indentations) that semi-matte mineral founda...

I don't have indentations, just lots of surface scars. Any idea on how to get rid of those? I have a couple that are really bad from some cystic acne I had, and they won't fade! Red marks aren't...

Hazelnut oil is really good for stopping oiliness and clearing/preventing clogged pores! Saved my nose! and it cost me £4 from the supermarket. I've read the same thing about Hemp Seed ...

...You can still try a foundation only containing Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide and Iron Oxides. You wouldn't happen to know of any mineral-powder brands that contain just those three ingredients, w...
