When I was younger, I had terrible acne and my skin was such an oil slick that my mum would joke that she doesn't need to buy cooking oil, just get it from me.
Digressing, I tried many treatments such as clearasil, oxy, t3, loreal and high end department store brands like Chanel, Lancôme, biotherm. Well, basically I tried a lot of stuff but they never seemed to work. Plus, some acne treatments were too harsh, leaving my face flaky and itchy.
So one day my mum bought skII for herself and I, being curious, took some of her treatment essence water and used it for a week or so. (btw I was 18 at that time and now I'm almost 20. Miraculously my acne started healing itself and my complexion was much better. Even my mum noticed the change and I told her I was secretly using her skII. Then she got me my own set and I've been an sk II user since.
My skin is now really good. People tell me I look like I have makeup on but I don't use makeup at all. There is still some really faint acne scars on my cheeks but most people thought I'm using blusher or have naturally rosy cheeks so I consider it a plus.
So yes, that is my story on how I dealt with acne. However, I'm just sharing my experience with you girls. I don't believe that there is one true method of solving acne. It may be hormonal, or that conventional acne treatments are best suited for you, or organic skincare. Whatever rocks your boat. I believe sk II helped because my skin needed hydration. Its really up to the individual. Our skin types are so different. I just want to share my experience for your knowledge.
Thx for sharing.. Feel wanna try skll dy..
