now in the past have struggled with acne and i still do. what has worked for me in the past have been Murad's line of acne. with in weeks i was competely clear and my dark spots were fading. the main problem i had with the line was that it didnt contain Benzoil Peroxide. i heard BP was proven to be the best treatment for acne in some journal. BP always seems to have had some kind of good effect on my face. it wouldnt clear up my acne completely but it helped alot. another problem i have is that my skin is senstive. i would consider my skin to be oily but most cleasures and moisturizers for oily skin are too drying. murad's acne line for oily skin made my face feel tight and peely. most moisturizers either causes more breakouts ore they dry my skin out to where its flakly and scalely. im still trying to find the right balace for my face wash and moisturizure.

anyways, the key to murad's treatment is sulfur and zinc oxide. they seem to work really well together but i decided that 20 bucks for a dinky little tube of this stuff is just too much money. so i tried DDF sulfur and BP gel formula. it doesnt contain zinc oxide but i figure i could mix in some from some baby bottom balm ( little did i know that that stuff contains mineral oil and the only time it was wirth using was at night. if anyone has some better suggestiongs im open for them). DDF gel worked amazing but eventually it stopped working and my acne is comin back.

now im trying something new. change my diet, do a body cleanse, try new products etc...

i got this Acne Protocol frome the Acne CureZone forum. it has a liver cleansing routine which i may try some time. i will post the link up sometime. it also mentioned Bentonite & Psyllium shakes to help dry up acne. diet NO NOs where mentioned which i will follow but i want to learn more.

as for a topical routine. i though i would try microdermabrasion. that seems to be great for acne. also i hear on other acne forums of using vitamin C serum, and copper peptide serum for acne and hyperpigmentation. so other stuff im going to try are the oxylight ( dermawand), colloid silver and/or stablized oxygen (both in internally and externally), essensial oils, glycolic acid peels. i probably dont have enough money to try all these treatments but i will research them. try a few and let you ladies know what happens.

now i started a new program last night. i bought:

TOPICAL
-olay regenerist thermal skin polisher
-colloidal silver(20ppm)
-black Opal Advanced Duel Complex fade(2% hyroquinone
-Black Opal Essenical Fade complex serum (2% hydroquinone)
-Neostrata Glycolic Acid solution/toner (8%)
-Clean 5 Clear persa-gel (5% BP)
-Acnomel (8% sulphur, 2% resorcinol_
-Kalaya pure emu oil for natural skin and joint care (100% pure)
_Aloe Vera GEl 100% pure ALOE

SUPPLIMENT
-Bentonite powder
-Psyllium powder
-coconut oil
-Zinc


i havent started the interal routine. i want to wait till i started my first liver cleanse(i will post a link to the routine).so i dont have dosages yet.

so far i have started on the topical routine and im likeing it so far. later on i will explain what each product is suppose to do.

Future Purchase
-a At home microdermabrasion kit
- biomagnets
-stablized Oxygen drops
-copper pepptide serum
-30% vitamin C serum
-One day (when i win the 6-49) an at home/portable oxygen generator with facal mask attachment and nasal aparatus.

i will also tell you all where i purchased the items.

i started using ROC- Peel Radience for my manual microdermabrasion/peel. it had to go online to the canadian site to get the instructions on how to use this system. i bought the kit which came with the peel mask and the emollinent cream but i really could have done without the cream.

MY daily routine

Morning
-Wash face with Olay thermal pollisher then rinse and dry
-with a cotton ball i apply the colloidal silver
-while skin is still damp from the colloidal silver i mix glycolic acid toner and emu oil together in my palm then apply
-apply the either one of the hydroquinone gels by black opal
-run the Oxylight for 2 min over my face
-apply makeup (with sunscreen built in)

*on tuesday and friday i use the roc peel mask. but i dont follow up with the thermal polisher or the glycolic acid toner. i usually apply the peel at night before i go to bed.


Night
-Wash face with Olay thermal pollisher then rinse and dry
-with a cotton ball i apply the colloidal silver
-while skin is still damp from the colloidal silver i mix glycolic acid toner and emu oil together in my palm then apply
-apply the either one of the hydroquinone gels by black opal
-then i apply a mixture of BP and the Sulfur acne creams to problem stops.
-oxylight 2-5min
-bed


im also incorperating the Bentonite and PSYllium shakes (P&B shakes) and 3-4 tbsp of cocoa nut oil to my daily diet.

ok, bad news. my acne got worse after doing all these things. AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!. i think the problem is that i got too much stuff going on. my skin feels tight rough even though i have been doing alot of exfoliating. so i think the problem is that my skin is irritated which could be the cause of the increased number of blemishes.

so now ive dropped the olay thermal polisher and the Roc peel. i use the glycolic acid peel once every other day and i moisturize with the emu oil. i dont use any BP or Sulfur stop treatments for now cause they are very drying and irriating. i only wab my face with colloidal silver or hydrogen peroxide which i apply to a clean makeup removal pad or a clean Oxy pad.

at night when i remove my make up i use one of the olay wash colths. i dont was with rags cause the makeup stains the cloth and reusing colths can reinfect the skin and make a big acne problem worse. right now im only using the smooth side of the cloth so i dont pop the pimples.

my face is starting to clear up now so im going to start uping BP and sulfur stop treatments again. im going to use the roc peel only once a week now and the glyolic acid solution once a day.
