Well, I went ahead and ordered two things from iHerb.

Olivella face & body bar- it has some good reviews and I wanted to try an olive oil soap...it only has a few ingredients, so we'll see how it goes.

And even though the three other ones I've tried didn't work...I got more black soap -_-
This time- Dr. Woods- Shea Version- Pure black soap (32oz for $8.85)
Idk. I'm stubborn, so I figured I'd give it ONE more shot. Just one. (hey, I'm desperate.)

So I'm holding off on other skin care from whole foods and whatnot. We'll see how those work for me...
I just hope they don't make it way worse.

I used to use green tea as a toner. It works really well. You don't have to add anything unless you want to. Check online or on youtube to find recipes/remedies with you green tea as a toner

What do you use your skin serums for?

[QUOTE]

Is asorbic acid something you can get at a store? Because I would rather not have to purchase it online...

I use the vitamin c serum to help even my skin tone out..
You can find it in stores like whole foods (where I got mine). I think the jar just says Vitamin C Powder.

You might be able to find it at normal grocery stores too, but I'm not sure.

Idk what to do anymore. Just seems to get worse. I know at the moment flare ups are due to that time of the month approaching but even when it's not it seems bad. I also suddenly have pimples on my neck. I've never had them there before. I'm getting more on my shoulders now too. I'm about to buy some regular drugstore acne products.

Have you tried vitamin E oil?
I know it's really thick, but for the last couple of nights I've been putting some on (just a few drops, mainly focusing on the problem areas) and I've noticed that it heals up my acne quickly (or quicker than not using anything....).
But yeah. My skin just looks a little more "radiant" in the morning, rather than dull and Bleh.
I think I'm going to start using it with my sweet almond oil (occasionally, since E is very thick and I don't want to risk clogging my pores.)
Just a thought.

Yeah I was using that along with AVG after washing. Sometimes my face would look like it was clearing only to get worse a couple days later. I drink a lot of water and eat well for the most part so I guess it's hormonal. Not much I can do about that but I'd like to at least be able to reduce the appearance a bit.

I know what you mean.
I stopped using AVG because I found that It dried me out if I didn't use an oil before it.
I finally got my supplements so I hope they'll help with any hormonal problems I have.
