I was having a bought of acne from about July 2011 through February 2012.
I had cystic acne on my cheeks and along my jawline.
(if you Google it, mine didn't look quite as bad as those poor people's faces, but it was pretty severe)
This acne actually hurt to touch!
I WAS using Aveeno Clear Complexion Foaming Facial Cleanser
which had worked for me in the past
This was part of what was causing me to breaking me out!
In February, I switched to Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
As well as switching to their deep moisturizer and one with SPF.
I also started taking 50 mg of Zinc at about the same time.
And about a month has passed, and my acne is gone!!!
I do get an occasional pimple here and there...
.........and also along with my monthly gift.......
but it is such a drastic change from the battle I had been having the past few months!!
I do have battle wounds, however, from the severe acne.
I have tons of scarring along my cheeks and along my jawline.
HOWEVER.
I have been doing facial masks weekly
Which has SERIOUSLY helped them to fade already.
And I also just started using a personal micro-dermabrator
It is an at-home micro-dermabrasion treatment
that costs about one price of a trip to get it done by a professional!
This little machine of magic has been shrinking and fading my acne scars!
Not only is it helping that,
I have been using it on places where I have more redness or uneven skin tone
And my skin tone has become more even as well!
I started using this on 3-2-12
and I have done 3 treatments since then, 1 every 5 days.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT FOR ACNE SCARRING.
You seriously will not be let down!!
P.S. Vitamin A is also known to clear up acne, but
since I am doing micro-dermabrasion,
you are not supposed to take Vitamin A at the same time!
P.S.S. I decided against doing Accutane because there were just too many risks
and I wanted to try to find out a way to get rid of my acne
a more healthy and natural way!
