Need Subjects For Clinical Trials

Friday, February 4th, 2005

To the moderator:
I totally understand if you do not want to post this message
I am not sure if this is considered spamming, I guess technically I
am not selling anything at this point. I just need good input about a
product that potentially will help people. If you have anymore
questions about my company feel free to call me.

My name is Faith, and I am a former acne sufferer. I tried so many
different things ranging from topicals to antibiotics. Accutane
worked best, but it left me feeling exhausted, and gave me allergies.
These are very mild side effects, but my clients have reported worse,
and some of them have had recurring acne. This lead me to study herbs
and their effect on the body. I started treating my clients, and
their skin started to clear. At this point, I have hired a
manufacturer to develop an herbal spray, along with a four step

Anyone used Tazorac

Thursday, February 3rd, 2005

Hey all..

I have a few questions and was just wondering if anyone’s personally used
Tazorac? Is it effective? Results, side effects, advice? Time, etc? If
anyone can give me a holla.. I would appreciate it very much! If you can help
me, feel free to email me back personally if you don’t wanna spam others (or
maybe others would like to know, you can just speak it here.) Thanks a lot!

Clearasil and Neutrogena are designed to cleanse (to point of overclean).
However, the surface skin that’s getting stripped / dried out needs to be kept
moist (talking water content), softened / pliable, and exfoliated. In order to
maintain this, it’s essential not to strip the skin oils (acid mantle
barrier) so harshly. If you must use such cleansers, be aware that you must try
to
replace what they’ve stripped, and also be aware that they can contribute to an
overproduction of oils (skin responds by overproducing when it’s out of
balance … part of your body’s self-preservation response).

Blackheads do not have oil in them, only the "matter" which, without the oil,
is a hardened plug. This is why they’re so hard to clear (as we all know).

Natalie,

I found the benzoyl peroxide to be too drying and when I used
differin my face would be very red and itchy. Neither one really
helped much for me.

Read several archives … especially those related to the active ingredients
in the products you’re questioning. If you’ve tried proactive, which active
is benzoyl peroxide, and it doesn’t give the results you want, check the
actives on these new products yourself. Sometimes, the active is fine, but a
different formulation is beneficial. Let us know what you’re trying / how it’s
working for you (everyone’s different) … then, if specific problems, we’re
here
to help but have more to work with.
