Hello - gycolic acid

Tuesday, August 31st, 2004

Hello - I use derma controll every day. I use a cleanser and a leave
on gel. derma controll has salicylic acid in it ,, I think this is 5%
salicylic acid. derma controll is very gentle. with the gel I don’t
need to to moisturise my skin. Only when I use a peel. When I do - I
use a 10 min mask…. Then about every couple of weeks I exfoliate my
shin with a sea salt scrub…. I haven’t found a toner that doesn’t
make me break out yet…. Also I haven’t found a way to rid my self
of back break outs ,,, :*( ,,,, i’m up for any suggestions if anyone
has some…. Thanks

Hi I’m new

Hello - I’m new to this group. I’ve read some of the posts and have
few things to share ,,,,, I just started using glycolic acid, its a
peel…. I use 30% and its pretty strong stuff. It kinda burns my
skin (thats how it feels , but it doesn’t turn my skin red.)I use it
in sections of my face , like today just my forhead. I use it for 4
min at a time once a week for each section. I’ve used it twice and I
love the results,,, well see how well it works in a few weeks…..
Also I found another product sylci acid ,,, I buy it at
yvesrocher.com … its called dermacontrol ,,,, great stuff for
everyday use ,,,, it helps with day to day break outs……. and
glycolic acid helps with scares , color , ect….. Besides that I try
to drink as much water as I can - yuk- I’m pretty bad at that but for
me a does make a difference….. Hope this helps a someone.

Has anyone here tried musaffeen??

Sorry, I never tried that. But if I were you, I’d be very, very
cautious.

By the description, I think it’s topical solution. So I guess it
would help as any topical medicine would. But I wouldn’t try this
unless it’s proven to have no long suffering side-effect. I think
it’s too dangerous to experiment with your health. Sorry if I cannot
be much help to you.

Hey everyone. Has anyone here tried musaffeen tablets at
www.musaffeen.com ?

And if so can you tell me your personal results? For example, how
long was it before you were acne-FREE, and how severe was your case?

The website claims it is a "guaranteed acne solution" in 14 days or
your money back.
Anyone with experience using this please respond and post here ASAP.
Thanks.

Do not ever, ever pick on your acne! I did that to my face, and now I
have serious ice-pick type scar all over my face even though I got
over my acne-prone stage of my life(now, I’m 31) I did light peeling
and some kind of chemistry medical treatments(Five times! and
consumed huge amout of money!, too) for scars but the result isn’t
that great. I guess after 25, skin’s ability to regenerate goes
downhill.

If only your nose and forhead are only oily place in your face, hot
steam them and apply strong soap only to that area. And in my case,
I use nose pack like once a week. But you should ice-pack your nose
after nose pack or hot steaming. Open pores are not pretty, and it’s
even more prone to blackhead.

And you know, acne will not pass just because you get old. I learned

Hi everyone,

I guess I am not alone. Well here is my problem, I get really bad
blackhead on my forhead and nose (where it is really oily) but when I
try to make sure that I wash day (clinque) and night it only seems to
produce more oils on my T zone, but yet drys out around my mouth,
weird huh? Am I alone? What to do? Here is another thing I should
mention, I can’t help but picking the blackhead, which then causes my
skin to scar, and start the cycle all over again. I am 21, and had
these problem for the last six years, shouldn’t I be pass this
stage?
