I am 33 years old and I have adult acne that I am trying to control while at the same time fighting fine lines/wrinkles under my eyes and forehead. My acne has been a problem for over 10 years now (whiteheads, blackheads, and cystic acne around my chin area). I love the Buffering Lotion but I want to try a cleanser, eye cream, and a moisturizer. Not sure what to use. ...Read Response

Adult acne is a very common problem. Common causes may be related to hormonal imbalances, or stress causing oil glands to overcompensate. Acne occurs when the pores of the skin become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Excess oil secretions build up beneath the blocked pore, providing a perfect environment for skin bacteria. The best means to prevent acne is to maintain a proper skin care regimen. It is also important to make sure that you are not picking of squeezing any of the blemishes. It can spread the bacteria and cause unwanted scarring in the process. The Acne Facial Cleanser which contains 2% Salicylic Acid will help to encourage the sloughing of surface dead skin cells. This purifying cleanser will remove dirt and oil while preventing clogged pores and breakouts. Follow with the Special Cucumber Lotion, an anti-bacterial solution that will help to disinfect skin and discourage acne flare-ups. Follow with the Oil Free Moisturizer (SPF-17) to keep skin well hydrated and protected. Using a daily SPF will prevent the darker acne scars from further discoloration. Use the Drying Mask 2-3 times a week to combat blemishes and impurities. Formulated for acne prone skin, this Sulfur based mask will help to absorb excess oil as it combats blemishes and impurities. Alternate twice a week with the Healing & Soothing Mask which contains Balsam Peru, a natural anti-inflammatory ingredient that relieves acne related redness and irritation. For oily, dull, congested skin, use the Glycolic Foaming Cleanser 2-3 times a week instead of the Acne Facial Cleanser. Glycolic Acid helps to break down dead skin build-up from the skins surface, reduce minor acne discoloration and leave skin radiant and smooth. Applying a thin layer of the Anti-Acne Serum (New) which contains 2% Salicylic Acid will help hydrate your skin in addition to gently exfoliating surface dead skin while you sleep. This mild night time treatment will keep your skin feeling balanced as it prevents future blemishes. The Drying Lotion will dry up surfaced whiteheads overnight. The Buffering Lotion is a liquid antiseptic solution that will help to heal deep cystic hormonal blemishes.

| I have had adult acne for four years, since I became pregnant with my son. I have tried Benzoyl Peroxide products, Salicylic Acid, Clindamycin, Differin Gel, antibiotics, getting monthly facials, and it still continues! I also have dark purple scarring that is very embarrassing and cannot be covered up. The main problem area is my jaw line/chin. Can you suggest anything?...Read Response

Acne occurs when the pores of the skin become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Acne lesions are commonly referred to as pimples. Excessive secretion of oils from the glands combine with naturally occurring dead skin cells to block the hair follicles. Oil secretions build up beneath the blocked pore, providing a perfect environment for the skin bacteria. The best means to prevent acne is to maintain a proper skin care regimen. It is also important to make sure that you are not picking or squeezing any of the blemishes. It can spread the bacteria and cause unwanted scarring in the process. Although you have tried Benzoyl Peroxide, Differin, and other antibiotics, you may respond better to Sulfur, our primary acne fighting ingredient.

| I’m wondering if you have a product that would help a cluster of under-the-skin bumps (they have not broken the surface yet, but are constantly there, like a pimple that never goes away). I tried a sample of the Drying Cream, and it helped somewhat but they never fully disappeared. I saw an e-mail for Silver Powder, and I was wondering if that would help. Please let me know your thoughts. ...Read Response

Since you are experiencing deep cystic blemishes, I would recommend our Buffering Lotion as the best spot treatment. It will help to bring down the inflammation and heal the blemish. I would also recommend that you use a complete skin care regimen to help maintain healthy skin and to prevent breakouts. To help prevent the build-up of dead skin, washing twice daily with Enzyme Cleansing Gel will maintain the skins moisture as well as gently cleanse. Using the Special Cucumber Lotion after cleansing will disinfect the skin and prevent future breakouts. Applying the Oil Free Moisturizer (SPF-17) daily will hydrate and moisturize your skin while adding a daily sun protection. To control breakouts our Drying Mask will reduce surface oiliness while drying up acne prone or acne affected areas. The Healing & Soothing Mask will calm and soothe acne related redness and irritation while promoting the healing of blemishes.
