Help. African American With Bad Acne. Help

Mary J · Jan 20, 2005, 12:38 PM

hi everyone. i am a african american female with the worse acne possible. i have no idea what to do about all of this in my face. i have tried just about everything on the market and i am feeling hopeless now. at present, i am using proactiv solutions to try to clear up my face, and that seems not to be working. i am also using some fade cream by, fashion fare, to try to fade the black marks from my face. i thought that maybe, my face broke up, when my cycle was down, but it seems as though my face stays with bumps, no matter what. if anyone has any suggestion to what can help me get rid of this acne, PLEASE HELP. i am open to all suggestion, because the things that i have been using, apparently have not been help my acne none. and to be honest, this acne is really embarrasing to me. I WANT CLEAR SKIN AT LEAST FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE.
i have been doing some research and i have found that sometimes a person may ahve acne because, their colon needs to be cleanse. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THAT IS TRUE? because, i was thinking since i have been trying everything to help clear up my acne, that maybe it might be something internally. Maybe, i need to cleanse my colon, and than maybe the acne, might go away. JUST A THOUGHT.
HELP ME PLEASE

HI, I HAD THE WORST ACNE. NOT MULTIPLE SPOTS BUT ONE HUGE PAINFUL PIMPLE. I REALIZED THAT WHEN i ATE PEANUTS i BROKE OUT. i STOPPED EATING THEM AND MY SKIN CLEARED UP. HERPES ALSO CAN ALSO BE A CAUSE. I FIND THAT USING THE ZOVIRAX CREAM ON MY FACE MAKES THE HEADLESS BUMPS COME TO A HEAD AND HEAL. SOUND NASTY BUT IT WORKS. CLEANING MY SKIN WITH ANYTHING OVER THE COUNTER BROKE ME OUT CAUSE SALICILIC ACID AND PEROXIDES ARE IRRITANTS FOR SEVERELY SENSITIVE SKIN. i STOPPED EVERYTHING AND USED RUBBING ALCOHOL SINCE I HAVE OILY SKIN.

Have you tried Ebony Secret? I ordered a bottle myself and I hear a lot of good things about it. It is especially designed for women of color, and I hear it really works well. Go to www.blackbusinessnetwork.com/sheila and click "Online Store" at the bottom of the page. Let me know how it works for you. You can also check out all of the videos for women that have had success with it. Good luck, and let me know how it works for you.

TESTIMONIAL OF THE WEEK

I want to say THANK-YOU!! This product is wonderful and does exactly what it says it will do. I must admit, I was very skeptical . I am a medium complexion African American women, who has had acne problems of some sort all of my life, I scar very easily and they are very dark. I have been to several dermatology doctors from my early teens up until about May of this year. I've tired things like Retin-Aproducts and the dreaded hydroquinone. Not one of my doctors had even suggested to me to try a product with kojic acid, not even the Black doctors I had seen. I began using this product at the end of June. It is now the end of July, and I am amazed. First of all , the dark scars on my face have dramatically improved and the condition of my skin is incredible. My skin feels smooth and my acne breakouts have decreased . Another thing I forgot to mention was the price. For a product of this caliber, the price is unbelievable. Skin-So-Fair has definitely made a believer out of me. I have told my niece about this product and she is excited to try it. You guys have a customer for life. Sincerely, S. Lewis Gardena, CA 90249

Hey! Awww thanks so much for the gift offer!! Well the serum and the body milk does wonders for my skin. Whichever one of those you want to send is just fine (^-^). Just wanted to thank you sooo much again for the great product! When the M.K. sales lady came up to me and complimented my skin I was totally baffled because I usually have lots of blemishes and huge pores and the skin tone is totally uneven and I have eczema and etc.. I've never had "good" skin...so I was SO surprised! Anyway wow! You are a God-send to be selling this! Being Filipino, white/light skin is absolutely beautiful and treasured (which is funny because in America being tan is supposedly wanted? Haha

) and now I'm starting to have lighter skin even if I haven't been using your product that long! Before I was debating between your product and this other product from the Philippines
called Godiva. Thank goodness I bought yours <3! Just...wow. Thank you so so much!!!
Best regards and God bless! Didi (AN EBAYER)
