Hey! I just went to target and bought Biore facial cleansing cloths, Clean &
Clear overnight acne patches, and St. Ive’s Apricot Scrub. (Hope I got all that
right, lol!) Has anyone else tried any of these products?

Hai Dina,

Thanks for your concern. You mean to say i should wash
my face in the morning with gentle face lotions like
cetaphil and i sould apply the ayurvedic cream.
And in the night i should just wash my face off with
gentle face lotion and i should not apply cream…
This is what i understood from your mail..If i’am
wrong please correct me. It will help me a lot.

hello im mark and i suffer from acne since high school. Now im 22 i
still have acne i tried everything bp minocycline neutrogena etc. but
it doesnt seem to work for me i dont know whats wrong with me.
Because of my acne i avoid having eye contacts with persons that im
talking to especially those with clear skin, i become shy and always
the one who hurries home after school so that few people would see
me. i feel that im inferior to other persons i think i look like a
monster.i dont want to court or get to know a girl that i like for
fear of rejection.its depressing i think its hopeless and i think
that no one or nothing can help me. I cant imagine my face without
these zits. im tired of trying other cures because i dont want to
fail because it happened to me a lot of times.
Please if you know of an effective treatment please let me know i
need it terribly. i dont want to die with these curse.

Help please

Hi. I get these "knots" on my face(cheeks) and chest. They’re like
raised scars, but they don’t start out as bumps. It’s just like, all
of a sudden, I have a scar. In order for them to flatten, I have to
actually pick the dry, darkened layer of skin off, which often has a
tiny little "core" attached to it. It leaves a little hole in the
center of bump. After that, it flattens, but I’m still left with a
scar. I know this is a strange phenomenon, but I’m hoping someone
can clue me in on what’s possibly going on, and what preventive
measures I can take. Thanks alot.

Pavan- so good to hear you using ayurvedic treatment!!! I am all for
homeopathic! Go for it. Ok- What kind of soap are you using… you know
what- I would try skip the soap in the morning… My face is very oily
and I was using tea tree oil and at one time used AkneZyme sulfur stuff
that is like <yellow clay>on my face at night there for a while. It
totally dried out my face. (It also had turmeric in it). So — wash
your face at night with something gentle— like cetaphil lotion or
clinique extra sensitive skin soap… and put your stuff on your face…
and in the morning.. just try this for a couple days… (just try it at
least) dont wash you face in morning. no soap.

no soap no foamy stuff… dont put anything on that face… cleanser
wise. Just spash some warm water on your face a couple times and then
splash with some cool water and pat dry. I think the soapy you use is
causing extra dryness. I have since stopped washing my face in the

Hi. Stop washing your face with battery acid. That should stop the
peeling white thing you have going on. LOL- if you could just be a
little more specific as to what you are using on your face that would
help us to answer your question. are you using some kind of topical like
differin or retina a ?

Do you know if you have to go to a Dermatoligist to get RETINA - A
Micro ? I don’t have money to go to one right now and was just
curious.

I’m sorry, but I think this "treatment" is a bunch of b.s. Come
on. We use ACCUTANE to fight acne. Accutane is the last resort.
Congresspeople are trying to get it off the market. If we knew the
cure for acne, don’t you think that we’d use it instead of drugs like
Accutane? I will not deny that the interest of the government lies
in money. I live in metro Detroit, about 30 minutes from Canada, and
yesterday, senior citizens boarded a bus to Canada to fill their
prescriptions in Windsor. Prescriptions in the US are 50-70% more
expensive than in Canada– the exchange rate not included. However,
there are 6 drug company lobbyists for every U.S. senator, so it is
tough to get a change. Despite this information, I do not think that
dermatologists/drug companies know that the "magic cure" for acne is
based on a diet and are hiding it from us. I think that many
dermatologists would rather focus on things other than acne, anyways,
and would love to have a cure-all so they can move onto something
