Red in the face?

Wednesday, June 30th, 2004

Due to this fantastic group I have been able to clear my face from
close to 90% of its acne. Im 31 years old and have had acne since a
teen and am so glad to be clear again. My confidence is high and I
feel soo good! Thankyou!
To clear my complection I used the benzoil Peroxide..Persa Gel 10 by
Clean and Clear. And I also wash with the oatmeal/milk/sugar scrub
that is given here in the archives. (I share it with all my friends!
Its a big hit!)
However, I still have a redness or red tone to my face. Similar to
what it would look like if I scrubbed too hard. But this redness
doesnt go away. Its there all the time. I dont want to wear a
foundation makeup; but with this redness, I cant seem to achive
the "clear" skin look. I have little to no acne..just redness.
I dont believe its from the persagel, this is something that has
always been there. Along with the acne. I just thought it would go

B5

Tuesday, June 29th, 2004

Ya, ive been using the Soloray Pantothenic Acid (b5) too and i see a major
difference!!. I also have mild to moderate acne and this has helped a lot. Next
time i go to the dermo i think ill try the retin a micro too since some of you
guys have had good results with that. But the thing ive been using before i
started the b5 was applying alpha hydroxy (15%) acid every night which has also
helped alot but beta hydroxy acids are better for oily skin cuz it penetrates
into the pores.

and see a big difference in my skin. My acne is mild(to some, but not
me)and I am taking the amount that it say to take and it’s working so
far. I still use my same cleaning routine, so it had to be something
going on in the inside with me. I’ll keep you guys updated on how it

urine

Tuesday, June 29th, 2004

If you follow the mainstream attitude, urine is really gross. If you
study its chemical and biological properties, it is much much better
that most of the stuff we put on ourselves as creams and lotions.
Urine is bad for you only if you eat a lot of processed food with a
lot of chemicals or if you have kidney desease. In all other cases,
compounds found in urine are found in really expensive skin products,
except urine does not put preservatives in your skin. I had mild acne
on my back, used my morining urine and also urine after about one our
after taking my dietary supplements and multivitamins. Now the acne
on my back is completely gone. I did not get as good result on my
face, because my skin is very oily and I needed to use products for
reduction of the oil secretion. I never reuse the urine and never
save it. Urine comes out stryle and has antiseptic properties, but
after about an hour, it starts decomposing, so don’t use it anymore.
Hope this will help many of you. Just don’t forget, if urine cost

<< Thanks. Just one more thing. I am worried about
gaining weight. Did you gain weight due to taking
them? >>

I did!!! I gained like 15-20 pounds. Yeah, it sucks. And when you go off of
them, the weight doesn’t just leave you (lol) you gotta work-out to get rid
of it!! It sucks. But I guess everybody is different.

Beware of using tetracyclin, my girl was put on it, and did not know
there were problems until we visited eye doctor as having problems.
it turned out by using tetracycline she was loosing her eye site.
spent many weeks and tests at the famous Mayo Clinic. She had
swelling behind the eyes and part of her brain. She will never have
20/20 eye site again, and can not be corrected. So take caution in
using it. Still looking for something to help she is also on differin
anc cleocin T and prescription B.P. but no more oral antibiotics for
her

Accutane on the face only

Saturday, June 26th, 2004

From what I’ve read, acne is caused by internal problems which need to be
adressed beforehand. I was on Accutane eons ago (6 yrs) and it cleared up my
cysts; but I still have some pop up every now and then; but not cystic. I found
out mine was due to a hormone imbalance and dealt w/my reproductive track; and
after taking care of that things have improved.
My 2 cents on Accutane; powder or pills: It’s not worth it! Other things less
harsh can work better. Good luck!

your face.
Would it affect the oil production? After all the skin is very
permeable. It should have some effect.
