   I may have underestimated garlic...READ! (Acne board)

5th January 2008
[QUOTE=shananana;3356577]Glad it's working for you too! My skin is doing good right now...so much better than before i started doing this. I'm really pleased with it. Using benzol perozide and salicylic acid, and all that stuff really doesn't make my zits go away any faster than they would heal normally...I think it just irritates and dries my skin. The garlic makes them go away SO fast. I did have one breakout a few days ago, but it's gone now(fast!), and was just because of starting my period. I hope more people try this and it works for them! Good luck acne sufferer! I'm going to keep doing this for sure!
are you still having success with the garlic regime? I am thinking of trying it. I have been battling with acne for years. I have tried everything (including accutane), several times. I am truly at my wits end, so I hope this could be a solution for me.

Hey Yogi, I went out of town for the holidays and wasn't using the garlic and broke out really bad. :( But I am back now and using it and my face is almost back to clear again. It's kind of hard to use while staying at other peoples houses....kind of embarassing having people see you rub garlic all over your zits, at least it is for me, lol and it usually smells for a bit after you put it on so i usually try not to be around people right away. BUT, at least I know it's what was working since as soon as I stopped I broke out...and as soon as I started again, I started clearing. I'm also using "Grandma's Lye Soap" now for my face cleanser. It's just a bar of pure lye....nothing else added to it, so it's very mild and has no fragrances that might irritate your skin. My skin is SO sensitive, i've really been noticing lately, the less I put on it, the better off I am. So I just wash with the pure lye, put garlic on spots during the day, at night i've just been washing and putting nothing on my face except a dab of tea tree oil on big pimples. My skin is looking good right now minus red marks from my most recent breakout, but lemon juice and mint julep mask should help with that soon. :D

Good luck....and i've also been on Accutane....2 courses so far. :( And was great for a year then started breaking out again. I don't want to do it again because my hair is thin and I don't want to risk losing it!!
