wow........i haven't been to this site for a looooooooong time. but anyway, i use the dove essential nutrients toner. i like it-always leaves me feeling clean and refreshed. but to be honest, i don't exactly know what toners do for you. i'm just in the habit of using one, and since it doesn't do any harm maybe it's doing some good! good luck!

cetaphil w/spf 15 completely stopped my dry/very flakey skin (i went to the store for eucerin but i couldn't find it and so i ended up with this stuff!)

My forehead, and hardly ever on my chin

my face looks a lot better since i quit using so many products (C&C especially)! my health teacher explained how to wash your face and that you should just use a cleanser and toner, and i actually took her advice, and now i'm just using cetaphil and dove essential nutrients toner. then i started taking zinc and got a breakout, so i used the C&C BP once a day to help it go away faster, which helped, but now i'm back to normal. not to mention my redness has totally disappeared!

i haven't used any dove cleansers, but i do use their essential nutrients toner, and i love it! i use cetaphil w/out water for a wash. it's awesome.

i'm female, and i just bought some zinc today. it's 50 mg (that's all we could find because we were in a hurry), and i didn't buy any multi-vitamins. is that okay or should i really try to get some multi-vitamins? also, would centrum a to zinc be okay for that? thanks.

i guess no one's interested in this, but i just thought i'd say it's still working really well for me, and i started taking zinc today too. i hope that'll help even more!

i agree. i stopped using BP a few weeks ago and my redness is gone. i just use a really gentle cleanser now (cetaphil w/out water) and a toner and it's helped so much!

lucky you. not only did my red marks not fade- my whole face turned really bright red. i guess i'm allergic to something in ACV.

I got this regimen from an old post, but I changed it a little. I have mild to moderate acne, and I realized the C&C was only irritating my face. So here's what I'm doing now: In the morning (I wash my hands first), I use Dove Essential Nutrients Toner (non-alcoholic), and then put some Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser in my hands, rub it around, and then rub it gently on my face in an upward circular motion. I don't rinse it off; instead, I take a kleenex and pat off the excess. I do the s

I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but I had some above my eyebrows that were hardly noticeable-you had to be really close to see them but you could definitely feel them. (They were from ACV.) I didn't treat them specially; they just faded away in a about a week.

I've heard that white marks on your nails mean you don't have enough zinc. Is this true, because I thought everyone had those white marks?

Thanks! Hopefully I won't forget it this time!

Mallet, in this forum you should click on the pinned thread at the top. I think it's called Guide to Dietary and Herbal Supplements (something like that). It has a lot of good information and then click on the link to SweetJade's post about vitamins. It's really informative too.

I don't know what to tell you, but maybe if you put this in the bacne forum you'd get more replies......just a thought.
