Wow, that was really bad, I just hope that the product at least worked for you. You should definitely demand a refund for the membershjp fee they charged you. It sounds like it is already a scam and someone or somebody should do about this. Is there a regulating body that oversees these kinds of scam in the internet? Where should this be reported to for proper actions so that others may not be likewise victimized.

What you can do, though, is use something that dries the skin. What this does is prevent any additional oil and bacteria from making the scab or pimple worse and it dries the “scab” so that it will come off naturally without you having to pick it.

Generally, the time when it’s ok for the scab to come off is usually when it comes off without effort, resistance, or pain. If there is even the slightest discomfort or difficulty of removing the scab then it is not ready to come off.

Now there are a few options that can do this and you will need to find something you are comfortable with. You may want to use salt (himalayan crystal salt is the best but any bar form should do) or you might be willing to use a benzoyl peroxide repairing lotion, like the small bottle from proactiv.

Either way, drying the skin is usually the best way to have the scab fall off naturally. Once it comes off, switch to a healing lotion (like the aloe you already use) and it should be ok.

Scabs in general, depending on severity, will take 2-3 days to heal and come off. I would make sure that you wait this long before doing anything otherwise you will probably have to deal with it for another week, with the pimple coming back and then another scab. So just keep restraining yourself for the time being and I think in a few days you will see them come off.

There will still be some red marks but these will fade with time and are far less visible and far less irritating.

i’ve used zyporex now for a couple weeks
and honestly, it’s really not bad.

i don’t only use it though, i use other stuff
but to be honest
it seems to work well
i’ve gotten used to the smell
and it’s not bad really… just…. strong.

anyway. =]

i hope i helped.

as for one of those guys up there who says that zyporex should be used for ppl with severe cases of acne..
that can’t possibly be true….
infact i would high suggest against it

for some people acne is caused by the dirt and oil buildup and a scrub would work nicely to rid alot of the dirt in pores

but for those with a severe acne problem, a scrub would only irritate his or her acne worse.

zyporex works to clean the dirt from your face
but i honestly doubt it actually works to HELP acne.

i would suggest that if you would like a nice overpriced scrub, get this product because it doesnt dry out ur skin, which is good for me because i have dry skin

however, if you don’t struggle with dry skin and acne,

then just get some clean n’clear facial scrub.
its like 8 dollars, and if you’re just looking for a good scrub, this will do. =]

okay. so =D

I completely understand what you mean. It’s difficult not to focus on acne when it is on your own skin, but remember that other people never see it as badly as you see it yourself.

In terms of vitamin A, I use it myself to balance with the anti-inflammatory medication (which increases the severity of acne) and the vitamin A does a great job of keeping the acne away, and it’s definitely much safer than using Accutane.

Now the thing is that the recommended dosage is usually not enough to make a huge difference unless you only have very light acne. In my experience, you will probably need around 10,000 - 15,000IU to see quick and effective results. Depending on your height and weight, even 20,000IU is OK but only take these quantities for a short period (e.g. 1-2 months) as extended use at this level, while still not nearly as severe as Accutane, is still considered to be slightly dangerous. I recommend using this possibly for 2-3 weeks until your acne goes down a bit and then sticking to 10,000IU for maintenance until your prom. After that, see how you go on the recommended 5,000IU and the healthy foods.

If you keep to a green diet like you mentioned, I believe this should be enough. Remember not to cut out other foods altogether because you do need a balanced diet to be healthy but, in particular, don’t eat any chocolates, sweets or cakes in the few weeks before your prom because it will usually lead to a break out a day or so later, which can take a while to heal.

Give this a try for now and see how you go to start with. Let me know if you have any issues and I’ll see what I can do to help you out.
