Crazy Effective
I've been trying to speed healing from a really devastating outbreak of cystic acne, deep, dark, and lingering scars. (Spoiler alert: it's dairy. If you're having horrific adult hormonal cystic acne, try eliminating dairy for a month. While it's rough to give up cheese, it's better than painful outbreaks you can't cover with makeup and destroyed self-esteem, let alone spending hundreds on products that do jack all.) The older I get, the longer my skin takes to heal, it's brutal. I bought this on a whim and goodness, it's awesome. I'm alternating with my retinol gel since you can't use them in combination. I have wildly sensitive skin and this hasn't aggravated it. As another reviewer mentioned, clean before & after with rubbing alcohol. I have been liberally applying rosehip oil, "rollering" my face, then applying more rosehip oil, or a combination of tamanu oil (if my rosacea is acting up) and rosehip oil. I'm happy with my impulse buy as it has noticeably sped up my healing process. Indentations are filling in, raised patches are flattening out, and dark spots are lightening up. Get after your self care! Find out which foods are destroying your life, eliminate the irritants, and get products that are simple, natural, and help you get your life back. Good luck and much love, B.
