THE NEVER ENDING WAR OF Penis EnlargementRFECTION :balling:
 
Ok as promised here is my contribution. This method is very radical but let me give you my story first.

I suffered from the most extreme acne of anyone I have ever seen. From the ages of 12 through my late teens my face was covered with pimples. There was literally no clear spot on my face. I went to the dermatologist every month for years. I was on every available medication for acne. I experimented with every available topical product prescribed and over the counter. I avoided every food that had a reputation for giving acne. Through this entire obsessive searching and compulsive trying NOTHING HELPenis EnlargementD. I was at wits end and I was frustrated with the entire movement on ACNE RELEIF.

About 17 years ago I decided to try something extreme. So extreme that everyone I told thought it was insane but from about two months after starting this method until today I have not had another facial blemish. Anyone that has seen me or pictures of me can attest to my face being scar, blemish & wrinkle free.

The first thing I decided to do was stop all the medications I was taking. The next thing I did was STOP WASHING MY FACE COMPLETELY. Yes in 17 years I have not washed my face with anything but water. I rinse my face during my bathing rituals and that is it. I never put any topical solutions on my face either with the exception of one, which is HYDROCORTIZONE. I shave 3 times a week, which used to leave my skin with an awful rash. This problem was solved with the HYDROCORTIZONE. Now right after shaving I apply a pea drop of this stuff and massage it into my face. The rashes are completely gone. That it!

I am not sure if I am some rare bird that had luck no one else will have as no one I know has ever tried this. I thought I would share my experience.
 
hey dld,

acne still plagues me. i don't have it as bad as you described but for me it's still pretty ugly to see and mentally driving me mad.
my mother once told me the same thing you decided to do: wash only with water.
so i did and it didn't work. infact, it has gotten worse. then i started with a stinkey goo called dermalotion which uses natural stuff, sulfur being the main ingredient. it worked but i smelled like hell but hey, it works. all the stuff is depleted and the store doesn't have new ones yet because it's quite a unpopular product. i needed something for the dry skin so i bought some facial milk made from almonds. it doesn't contain any oils but it still hydrates the skin. i will keep using this stuff but i think it's gonna take some time for it to go away..
 
if you got bad acne, try proactiv 3 times a day for 2 weeks and see wht happens, it's a newer thing, 3 step process that works for almost everyone if not everyone
 
DLD I have started your way, I stoped washing my face and putting acne creams on, my face already looks better. All I do is just rinse my face with cold water periodically throught the day to get the oil off, and that is it!! I love this!

Very cool! Make sure you pick up some HYDROCORTIZONE 1% Cream. This will be just the thing after shaving with the irritation you get.
 
Does anyone know how to get rid of acne scars, I have a medium case of them and wanted to know if any one has had them and how did u get rid of them ? :hammering
 
Thats interesting DLD.

I have something called Aveeno Hydrocortisone 1% anti-itch cream. So i'm assuming this would work?

The reason i have this is nothing to do with acne. I have sebhorric (sp) dermatitis. Basically in the winter I get dandruff on my scalp and dry skin and scaling under my eyes, the nose folds and my eye brows. I started using this and it works on my dry facial areas.

I do know that using too much product on the face can actually make acne work, so your no washing is a good idea. I have Proactiv, but I can only use it 2-3 a week ( not daily). Proactiv is a 3 step process that does work for acne but it tears up my face. The first cream is abrasive and opens pores but also makes my skin red and taers the skin. The second part is like an astringent that makes my face completely red. Then the Benzoyl peroxide finish is good but not if you are in the sun at all. Stuff like Noxema,etc messes my face up even more.

Here is why not washing works. Your skin needs a certain amount of good oil. If you strip off too my good oil, your skin can 1: be overdry and 2: actually start producing way too much oil to counter.

Perfect! The reason I started using Hydrocortisone was after my acne had cleared up I continued to get a rash after shaving. The rash would show up like a mask round my nose and down under the chin. A day after the rash the entire area would become very dry and start to flake. It was frustrating because I finally had clear skin from pimples and I had this almost constant rash. I finally went to my doctor and he told me to go buy some over the counter Hydrocortisone 1% cream. The next time I shaved I used this cream (just a dot massaged over the face) THE RASH WAS GONE! The only time it resurfaced was when I did not apply the Hydrocortisone. It really changed my life and made me feel so much more confident.

Some tips to alleviate any troubles with acne.

1. Shower frequently ie morning, immediately after training, and before bed.
2. Use tanning beds 2-3 times per week.
3. Use a benzyl peroxide lotion or cream after washing and prior to bed at night.
4. Use oral antibiotics, ie tetracycline
5. Use Accutane- on advice of physician only
6. Use oral vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) 5-10 grams daily in divided doses..starting 1 week prior to AAS cycle and continuing until 3 weeks post cycle*
7. Avoid sugary foods
8. Laser Treatments. Smoothbeam, thermage, Aura Photofacial

I have used all above methods except Accutane, and found that showering, tanning , and B5 supplementation work the best. B5 is phenomenal in cutting oil production of the skin down to a minimum...it is the only thing that truly works while using test or high androgenic AAS such as tren, drol, dbol, halo, etc.

i have a comment about vitamine B5. you see, my drug store recommends me to take vitamin B6. they said vitamine B5 isn't contributing in cutting down the oil production but I guess that worked different for you.
i just bought a bottle which contains all kinds of Vitamin B (except B5, strange) with B6 in a strong concentration. i will take it once every day, before i go to sleep.
the recommended daily dose of 1 tablet lies around 10000% so i want to be careful not overdosing everything.

i'll be updating you guys.

i'll update you ppl

Just for the record Vitamin B-5 is also called Pantothenic Acid, I would think any good B-Complex would have it in it.

Also, I'm no longer taking B-5, though it worked well for me. Swallowing 20 pills a day got kinda annoying. So now I'm taking the active form of B-5 Panthethine.

-ItsElectric
 
b-5 definately cuts oil production. If I take it, I take about 7 grams of it though. That is a ton of powder. I get 300 grams of powder for 10 dollars though. What is this active form you speak of Itselectric?
 
Hmm. I was taking the Vitamin B Complex which doesn't contain B5 and I still don't notice a cut off in oil production. Maybe I should switch to the powder form as well.
Right now i'm taking a diet for a week and see what the results are (I started today).

I will:
- Drink 2 liters of water a day.
- Eat grain products.
- Eat fresh fruit and vegetables.
- Take 500mg vitamin C daily.
- Take Vitamin B Complex daily.
- Not consume fats with the exception of breakfast. (The butter on my sandwiches will be the only fat I consume)
- Not consume sugar foods.
- Not consume salty or spicy foods.
- Not consume milk products.

I do wash my face with antibacterial soap cause my skin get's so greasy. I need to leave the pores open.
I will update you on my progress. I believe the natural way is still the best way.
