How to get rid of pimples and other blemishes FOREVER
89You can have clear, beautiful skin
The problem with pimples, blackheads and other skin blemishes is that they keep coming back! Or they just won't go away!
For the best results, I'd use a two pronged approach: internal and external.
Tea tree oil is excellent for getting rid of acne and other blemishes topically. This can get rid of those little buggers quite effectively in a few days. (Sorry, they won't clear up overnight.)
But the problem is that pimples can show up at the worst times. Like before a date, or a party, or some other important occasion. So you'll want to make sure they NEVER show up. You can't always do that topically.
So it's important to realize that acne comes from the gut. The acne will often keep coming back until that is addressed.
Typically the problem was created by antibiotics. Even antibiotics that were taken decades earlier when you were a toddler can put zits on your face today. So it's not your fault. :-)
Please stick with me on this 'cuz if you understand the nitty gritty, you'll always know how to keep those bumps from showing up uninvited.
The antibiotics kill the friendly bacteria in our digestive tract which allows yeast to grow. When the yeast flourishes, it grows roots, poking holes in your intestinal wall.
This enables food particles to pass through partially undigested. That freaks out your immune system. Acne is merely your body's attempt to get rid of the slurry.
So here's what I would do. I'd take a combination of olive leaf extract, and caprylic acid - one of each, each day - to get the yeast under control. Those two products are great at wiping out the offending yeast. You can get both of those from any health food store.
Because the yeast has roots, it won't budge no matter how much acidophilus you take. That means the yeast must be disposed of.
I know you've been told that pimples are caused by bacteria not yeast. But if those people were so smart, they'd have told you an effective way to rid yourself of the problem. But you've still got the little buggers, so maybe they didn't have the whole picture, if you know what I mean.
Yeast and friendly bacteria compete for space in your tummy just like polants compete for space in the forest. By replenishing with lots of friendly bacteria, it makes it harder for the yeast to make a comeback.
You'll want to give your gut an abundance of friendly bacteria not with a cheap acidophilus or yogurt...they won't work very well if at all... but with one that contains several different strains of friendly bacteria, such as PB-8 or Primal Defense. Again, you can get either of those from any health food store. I would follow the instructions on the bottle depending which one was using.
As an added plus, the combo or yeast elimination and friendly bacteria helps to flatten the tummy and cut down on food cravings - like greasy french fries LOL!
The holes made by the yeast also needs to be repaired. I've found the amino acid called glutamine to be effective. In two months or less, the holes seem to be patched up when 5 grams are taken twice a day in a glass of water.
A product called IntestiNew can be used in place of the glutamine. It works even better than glutamine by itself. It costs more than Glutamine but you might only need one month of it, so it might end up costing less. I would use the powdered IntestiNew and not the one that comes in capsules. I would follow the instructions on the container for dosing if it were me.
Sometimes those with acne also suffer from bloating when they eat. For that I'd take a good multi-enzyme to help the digestive tract get back on track.
All those things can be obtained at any health food store. Good luck!
The best to you and to your skin.

I found the opposite. I reguarly had spots until I started taking a contraceptive pill and then they mostly cleared up. I hadn't had any antibiotics at that stage either as I was fortunate to be healthy so never needed any. I know other people who have found the same. Why is that?
Iari - you're right about that - sometimes birth control pils can have an opposite effect due to the hormones. Long term, they can produce negative effects but they often clear up the skin for a while at least.
Some birth control pills reduce acne and others increase it.
I've eliminated the reference to the birth control pills, to avoid confusing the issue.
Thanks for your input.
The best to you.

I have had a terrible rash on my face for 6 months, went to 3 derm's and was told 3 different things. Is it possible to get a yest infection on your skin. My skin looks red and is flaking off with blisters around it. Help!!!!!!!!!
Stefanie - Yes, it is possible to get a yeast infection on the skin. I can't say what your particular problem is, but if it were me, I would try the things I mentioned.
Another food supplement that can often be helpful for red flaking skin is fish oil taken internally. I'd probably do that, too.
The best to you.

Dear Kelley,
How about children? Can they do the candida treatment?
Hi Mary,
As you know, children respond much more quickly, teens a little less so, and we adults...well there's little hope for us LOL!
So if I were to give this to a child, I'd lower the dose and I'd probably start with the PB-8 by itself at first. I'd use the IntestiNew instead of the glutamine, because it is a powder and so the dosage can be modified, strarting with a 1/4 dose for a while.
As for the olive leaf and caprylic acid, I would either cut the dosage to 1/4 or give it intermittently and for only a short period of time, basing it on their age and weight. For instance 150 pounds or more = full dose, unless they haven't reached puberty yet,in which case, I'd still give them a lower dose.
The best to you.

I have learned the hard way that antibiotics aren't the answer to acne. I took them for about a year in high school and developed stomach ailments, now I'm off the antibiotics and my face is much clearer than it was before!
Hi SmithA.
I'm with you 100% on that! Antibiotics promote yeast overgrowth. That leads to the yeast poking holes where you don't want any holes...which can lead to partially undigested food swimming in your bloodstream.
Your body will do what it can to dump the junk...even if it means clogging up your skin.
The best to you.

Do you have a diet recommendation along with these supplements? Or a detox plan? Thanks so much for the info.
Hi Jan,
You're quite welcome.
The beautiful thing about getting the yeast under control and the holes patched up is that we naturally start to want foods that are better for us.
Yes, you can look up the standard healthy diets which include lots of fruits and fresh vegetables and drink lots of fitered water, and it works. The problems is that most people have a hard time doing that when the yeast is telling them to go eat junk.
Meanwhile, I'm a big believer in colon cleanses once a year. If nothing else, it makes me feel lighter, and helps with the tummy bulge.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley I just discovered your wonderful site today from a post on Dr. Mercola's site. I have the worse skin and i was wondering what doses i should take of the olive leaf extract, caprylic acid, Primal Defense, and glutamine. Also are there certain brands that are better than others? I'm about 108lb female aged 22.
Also how long should I take these things for?
Hi Miss J,
I want yo uto know that you can have new skin...clear skin!
I'd start slowly if it were me and my skin was really bad. Otherwise, I might end up feeling sick or having a major breakout.
Readers have been having better success with the conmbo of the olive leaf, the caprylic acid and PB-8, so I'd go with that rather than the Primal Defense. Vitamin World brand works as would many others for the olive leaf and the caprylic acid.
The glutamine works, so if I had that, I'd use it. Otherwise the IntestiNew works REALLY well.
Also, I'd get some tea tree oil facial wash to get some quicker results and to be able to get on top of any outbreaks. Sometimes when our body is clearing out the junk, it tries to release it through the most direct route...namely the skin in this case.
The tea tree skin wash is something that can be quite helpful. Tea tree oil can be used as a spot cleanser and remover.
I would use it for as long as it takes, perhaps two months or maybe less. After everything cleared up, I'd stay with it for a couple weeks more to clear out any hidden troublemakers.
The best to you.

hi, ive had pimples for ages but i was on the dianne pill which is especially for your skin . with in 2 months after i stopped taking the pill my face went from being the clearest its ever been to worst than it was when i started. i want to start for another baby, but everything you could take for your skin usually says to stay away if u are pregant. so what should i do being a trying mum?
Hi Tamieka,
DrugDigest.com suggests avoiding olive leaf extract while pregnant because it "might" lower blood sugar levels. If it were me, I'd take cinnamon along with the olive leaf, because cinnamon helps to normalize both high and low blood sugar.
When it comes to tea tree oil, most experts say to avoid it while pregnant or nursing because not enough is known about their effect on the baby. Of course, that could be said about almost every herb and oil because they aren't studied.
So that's a decision you'd need to make as a topical wash.
The best to you.

I had terrible cystic acne for years(I'm 30 now). None of the topicals worked. It came down to serious cleansing (fasting), liver flushes (over 40 to date and stones are still coming out), and a good probiotic. You have to eat healthy as well or the liver and bowels will go to hell again.
Hi Josh,
Thanks for sharing your success! I'm so happy for you.
One of the advantages of my recipe is that people find that they no longer WANT to eat junk. It happens effortlessly.
As the holes in the intestines become healed once again, no junk or partially digested food can get into the bloodstream any more looking for a way out through the skin.
The best to you.

Kelley,
I've just finished reading both this hub and one of your others. Thanks so much for being so caring and sharing!
I have a question for you though, you mention to take the caprylic acid and olive extract, and the PB-8, but you don't say how much. Would you be so kind as to clarify this?
Thanks!
BG
Hi BG,
Sure, I'd be glad to. I'd start out with one of each except for the PB-8. I'd take two of those a day. It can all be taken together.
And let's not forget the glutamine (or even better is IntestiNew, although both work.) I'd take that twice a day. I don't recall the direction for the IntestiNew. I'd follow the package instructions.
After a week or two if I was tolerating the olive leaf and the caprylic acid, I'd consider increasing one or both of them. Each person is different as to how much is right for them, so each person needs to decide for themselves how much to take and how fast they want to go.
As for the enzymes, which can make things go easier, especially if the person has any bloating, gas, etc, I'd experiment with how many to take.
I used to take 3 with each meal of the extra strength multi-enzyme from Vitamin World, because that's how much I needed. Now i only need one or two and sometimes none. That's because I'm getting older, and as everyone knows, you get better as you get older. :-)
The best to you.

Kelley,
Thanks for the tips! I'll give it a whirl, but I'll be honest, I'll start after the holiday parties have ended. No sense starting something just to immediately compromise it, LOL.
BG
Hi BG,
You'll notice that I don't ask people to change their eating patterns unless they want to. :-) This recipe works effortlessly.
I'd start on the PB-8 now. It won't curb your appetite and it'll give you a head start. Plus for some people they drop a couple pounds or more in the first few days, not by dieting but by helping with elimination. No diarrhea, just easy elimination.
The best to you.

Hi Kelly, I hope you can help me with this, I have had pimples, boils or spots whatever it is on my scalp for years now. Not only does my scalp itch, the boils or pimple are painful and pus filled. they are now in my face and some times up my nose. I have to wear a hat most of the time as it is so embarassing to have a hair cut. I am 44 years old. My doctor has taken swabs and sent them to the lab. He advised me to continue taking doxicycline after getting the result back from the lab but I have been on this and other antibiotics and also a shampoo called Keto "something" for over 2 years and I'm still getting this problem. Could you help Please.
Hi Nakofi,
It I had what you have, I wouldn't hesitate to start following my recipe. As you can see from what I've written, antibiotics makes skin conditions worse because they promote leaky gut.
Leaky gut allows partially undigested foods to poison our blood stream. The body tries to get rid of the poisons through the skin. So we can end up with boils.
I'd also wash with a tea tree oil body wash. I'd also experiment with a drop of clove oil on a boil that wasn't in a sensitive area for a few days to observe what happens.
I'd probably also get some oregano oil and take a drop or two in 3-4 ounces of water just once a day to assist my lymph system which would probably be clogged.
Keep me posted on how you're doing.
The best to you.

Hi Kelly,
I have started on your recipe & only being the second day, I have already felt a big change...so much energy, clearer complextion, and no bloating or gas.
I wish I could convince my 17yr old son to try this. He has severe acne on neck & down the back. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much Kelly.
What I meant was, any suggestions on how to convince my teen child? ha ha
Hi Alioops,
Sure! I have the perfect solution that's guaranteed to work...
...in 17 years.
My take on it is that he's not in the same place in his head as you are. You've spent hours reading this and understanding it, and getting a picture in your head of what you want out of it. He hasn't done any of that. So what is clear to you isn't at all clear to him.
So maybe you print out a couple comments that he could read and ask him to take a look at it. And let him know that if it interests him, you'll be glad to assist him (not "help" him) with his next step. And then let it go.
Beyond that, how about grounding for two weeks, or no computer privileges until he moves out of the house. "Allowance?? What allowance?" ;-)
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem

LOL! You are too funny! First I will ground him by limiting ALL sugar, then.........Allowance...forget that one, he makes more money than me! Can't take comp away (it previously crashed and he had it sent away for fixin'...hasn't had it for 3 weeks...poor fella!)
Seriously though, you are so right that his head in not in the same place as mine...thanks so much for the insight...never thought to print stuff out and I may just pin it up next to his computer...I'm sure he's bound to read it then!
Cheers!
Hi Kelley,
Can this treatment for acne be done if I'm pregnant? Or should I wait until after? Thanks.
Hi Alex,
Practically every bottle of supplements will say to consult with your health care practitioner if pregnant. Those warnings are generally written by attorneys in this litigous age. Which makes it impossible for me to give you a real answer.
If it were me I'd have no hesitation about taking the PB-8 or the digestive enzymes. I would do them both.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley,
I have started using tea tree oil, could see the difference in the face within a week. As you said, it is not preventing the appearence of new pimple. I am planning to try out your next approach. I am 32 yrs old. I enquired olive leaf extract and caprylic acid in couple of stores. It is hard to find. I have a silly question.
1) olive leaf extract - is it available in tablet or liquid form?
2) caprylic acid - is it available in tablet or liquid form?
Are these available in drug stores? Please advise. Thanks a lot.
Regards
Govind
Hi Govind,
Thanks for letting me know that the tea tree oil has been helpful for you.
Both the olive leaf and caprylic acid would be found in health food, or online stores, rather than drug stores.
The olive leaf extract is always available in capsule form and somtetimes in tincture form (follow label instructions for dosage.)
Caprylic acid comes in tablets.
The best to you.

Can the cod liver oil be taken in capsule form or is the liquid form better?
Thanks
Hi Alex,
The cod liver oil, which is a part of my recipe for how I got rid of my stage 4 cancer, is best in the emulsified form.
I've never seen it in capsules or soft gels, but if it's available that way, that would be okay.
The best to you.

Hi kelly...I had pimples for a long time since my teenage...my pimples were very big and used to stay for a long time...i went to a dermatologist and she suggested me to use topical creams with clindamycin and also prescribed me some tablets with isotretinion. After using this my pimples reduced to a great extent. but when i stop the treatment again it starts....so what to you think? and also this is the first time hearing your sort of reason for pimples...so am much confused which to believe...
Hi Martin,
After trying the stuff your doctor gave you that only worked while you used it, it's understandable that you'd be unsure.
Besides the doctors are DOCTORS, and they are trained in this stuff, so why would you trust what I say?
It really is up to you to make that decision. No one else can make it for you.
My recipe is comprised of food supplements which have a low profile for any risk. Practically zero.
If I had the type of acne that were big and lasted a long time, I'd figure that I might have an outbreak as the toxins try to find the easiest way out of me. I'd use tea tree oil or lotion topically to minimize the outbreak and shorten its duration.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley!
Just wanted to tell you how great this method is for getting rid of skin rashes.
My doctor didn't know what kind of rash I had on my face, but gave me some Hydrocortisone cream to fix it. I used the cream for a month with little to no results.
Then 2 weeks ago I started your skin remedy. My rash has all but healed. It is a pleasure to look at the pretty skin on my right cheek rather than the dark red blotches that were there just 2 weeks ago.
I also got a cold about a week ago and credit the Olive Leaf capsules with helping for a quick recovery.
As a side benefit, I've lost six pounds and am eating a healthier diet. I've lost my cravings for sugar and have been enjoying summer fruits.
Bottomline: it all worked just the way you said it would.
Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Andrea Bonini
Hi Andrea,
You couldn't have given me a better birthday present than to share what you've just shared. How awesome is that! Thank you!
Now do you suppose your dermatologist will send me three-quarters of the fee? I'm tired of asking for half - I never get any that way. So maybe 3/4 will catch their attention since they didn't do nothin' much.
Of course, I'm not practicing medicine...diagnosing or prescribing.
By the way, the stuff that often causes things like rashes - that's candida. It's really a fungus, and it causes cancer later in life.
So when we cure ourselves of candida today, we are also curing ourselves of possible cancer 20 years down the road. Not to mention arthritis, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and about 100 other big time problems.
You see, this hub page is really a sneaky device to reach younger people and get them on the right track with a life changing secret.
My hope is that one of you will take this and run with it. Your life story will be you helped 10,000 people...saved their lives from emotional and physical crisis and then one of them will do the same... and reach 10,000,000 young people with skin problems.
Yes, we might have a health care crisis in this country - that's because not enough people know about my recipe. If we put the 70% who are overweight on it, we could cut health care costs by 50% in a matter of months.
Forgive me, it's my birthday, and I'm full of myself today. :-)

Hi Kelley,
Thank you so much for all of your great hubs, they are truly inspiring.
I have a 1 fl. oz. bottle of pure tree oil that I picked up a couple of weeks ago. How should I go about putting this to good use for my face? I basically have surface pimples all over my face - that appeared 2 years ago a month before my wedding and have never went away.
My husband and I plan on doing the yeast cleanse, but we wont be able to start it for a couple months down the road.
Thank you for all that you do.
Sincerely,
Shaylynne
Hi Shaylynne,
Thank you for your kind thoughts.
Since you say the acne is all over your face, the pure oil might be too much. With essential oils a tiny bit is great, but more is often worse.
Vitamin World has a 15% solution that would probably be perfect. At least that is what I would use. There are probably other brands available, too.
Also keep in mind the source of where acne comes from. A topical might do the job by itself for a little while, but after a while it might dry your skin more than you'd like. So I'd do both as soon as I could.
The best to you.

WOW!!!
Kelley and eveyone, Thank you so much for being here!
I will make this as short of a story as I can. 20 years ago I had food poisoning along with many antibiotic treatments during my whole life. Soon after the food poisoning I developed digestive disorders. Then came the numerous ear, throat, skin problems and allergies. I have been to regular doctors, GI doctors, dermatologists and allergists (numberous times each). Not one of these doctors suggested yeast overgrowth. 6 years ago i had had stomach pains so bad that I had to have exploratory abdominal/intestinal surgery which caused 2 hernias and 2 more surgeries.
I have spent thousands of dollars on skincare products. NONE of this helped me.
Kelley, I started taking Aquaflora 2 days ago. Can I do your recipe along with it?
I can't believe I might be able to feel and look better after having NO answers all these years. Thanks everyone for your ideas and research! HUGS HUGS HUGS
Hi Jen,
Yes, you can do my recipe along with it if you'd like. Or you could give the Aquaflora a chance to work by itself. That's what I would do. Maybe it will resolve everything, or maybe it will resolve some of them.
The Aquaflora says to cut out all sugar. The idea with my recipe is that the cravings will go away on their own.
That is the apparent difference.

Hi Everyone...0)
I have a question about AquaFlora. After you have taken the full doses and you see that you are better....how do you jprevent the candida from returning. I wrote the company, they told me to take it once a week. They gave me no details . Not even a name.
What is your opinion
All the Best
Le
Hi Le,
I'm afraid they would be the experts on their product. As such, I don't have an answer for you.
As for my recipe, I'd stay on the PB-8 daily to help prevent a recurrence. We need probiotics and PB-8 is a very good one.
About 70% of all antibiotics are given to livestock. So it's possible to redevelop too much yeast even with the best attempts to avoid it unless we eat only organic meat. That's the world we live in today.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley,
I've had some pimples bugging me for quite a while now... and the continuously come back in the same places, even having gotten rid of them seemingly for good.
I'm willing to give your method a shot (just found your website tonight), but I was hoping you could give me some info on the amounts in mg of each of these items I should take.
I'm looking to purchase Olive Leaf Extract, Caprylic Acid, PB-8 & Glutamine. How much of each should I take, and should these be taken every day for two months?
Thanks very much for your time,
Kevin
Hi Kevin,
Just take one of the olive leaf and one of the caprylic acids each day to start regardless of the mgs on the particular bottles you get. It can be increased after a couple of weeks based on how well its tolerated.
I'd take 2 PB-8's a day, and one scoop of glutamine (about 5 gms each) twice a day in water.
Generally after two months the glutamine can be stopped. The others are more individual. I'd continue taking the PB-8 for life, unless you make your own fermented foods.
The best to you.

Thanks Kelley, much appreciated. =]
Hi Kelley,
I just went to the store to get all of your recommendations, and I'm very excited to get started! I want this acne to go away! I just have a few questions regarding other things I'm currently taking.
I went and saw a naturalist doctor last summer and he told me roughly the same thing that you've described in this post. He told me that my acne was being caused by my gut which had become toxic due to my diet. He told me to start eating things that were good for me (dependent on my blood type) and gave me some supplements. Unfortunately it didn't get rid of the acne completely, but I've kept up with the supplements just for the sake of it, I suppose. Here is a list of what I'm taking:
an Omega 3-6-9 softgel (2 a day)
a liver detox and regenerator (2 a day)
a thyroid energy supplement (2 a day)
a dairy tolerance enzyme (1 a day)
All of these are made by the brand Now. I just wanted to see if it was okay to take these in addition to what you have recommended, if I should only take a couple of them, or if I should stop taking them all together. Please let me know what you think!
Here's to hopin',

Hi Sonny,
Those sound good to me! I'm glad they've given you some partial relief.

Hi Kelley,
I have just been to the health store and they have caprylic acid and the olive leaf extract but none of the others :(, i am wondering would this still work? and by the way i am 17 so how much would i need to take a day? Thanks
Hi Amin,
Each part of the program is necessary because each part does a different thing. One restores friendly bacteria. The other helps to heal the microscopic holes in the intestinal wall.
The two items you purchased help to kill a wide spectrum of yeast, molds and fungi.
A young person might be able to heal much faster than someone my age, so it's possible that the microscopic holes could be repaired by one's diet.
The caveat here is that today's average diet is atrocious, plus today's young are the 3rd and 4th generation of offspring whose diets have been progressively getting worse and worse.
PB-8 is available at most health food stores. If not, get the next best one. Acne contains bad bacteria. That's one reason why it's so important to restore the good bacteria.
If I were 17, I'd take the same amount as anyone else. The good news is that it would probably take less time to the desired see results.
The best to you.

first of all thanks for sharing this, I have studied A LOT about acne and never heard about the acne yeast connection. I do agree that "bacteria" is not all there is too it.
Do you know of any "checks" that can be done to see if the yeast might be a causing problem?
Im 30, i had a perfect skin untill i used Estee Lauder, i still have my good skin, but im breaking out way too often then i should, not only before my period, the spots comeds usualy under my chin around the mouth, they are not so bad, but i always try to get rid of em and this makes them worst, i have sometimes this blind pimples and some tiny white round bumps that are still not actually pimples but they usually turns into when you mess with them, the problem is im used to have a great skin and i cant stand even one spot i want to take it off immediately,specially if i have a date..I also found out pimples can be caused when you use computer for many hours, somehow makes your skin oilier i think it have some connection with nerves and hormones..Ive tried now garlic and so far works great, it makes your skin calm on the infected places and the spot get smaller and even dissapear fast without scar..
Hi Cures,
The morning "spit" test is used by manypeople who are in the know.
You spit into a glass of water upon first arising. Then watch it to see if any strings develop in the water over the next minute or two. The more string, the more yeast overgrowth.
The best to you.

Hi Martina,
Thank you for sharing your story and for the tip about garlic. Garlic helps to kil yeast, by the way.
I hope you find my recipe to be helpful to you.

Thank you for such an informative hub. I am 28 years old and have what seems to be cystic acne. I have yet to see a dermatologist, but as of right now, I am taking oil of oregano and olive leaf extract. My question is, is it safe for me to take o.o.o, olive leaf extract, pb8, caprylic acid and multi enzyme? I've been battling so many different stages of acne for about a decade now and am ready to treat this skin condition in a "holistic" fashion.
Hi Sherron,
Thank you for your kind words!
The best way for me to answer that might be to tell you that if I take too much oregano oil, I get a headache. I can handle about a drop or two a day. I've talked to others who can tolerate an entire eyedropperful.
The more one takes, the more likely that there could be a cleansing reaction.
It's difficult to predict what is too much for an individual person. I don't think cleansing reactions are harmful. Rather they are feedback as to how much we can handle.
The best to you.

Thank you for your quick response Kelley. I actually planned on cutting off taking oil of oregano internally and diluting it more with evoo and using it as spot treatment overnight. I take 2 a day..and even taking 1, I get a slight headache. So I'm hoping that olive leaf extract, pb8 and multi enzyme will do the trick. with obviously exercise, and eating healthier. Other than that, any recommendations one the supplement aspect of this "remedy?" =)

Kelley,
So I just left vitamin shoppe and ended purchasing a few new supplements to add to my collection haha.
My NEW (smiles) question is, is it okay for me to take olive leaf extract, multi enzyme, caprylic acid, pb8, milk thistle and even a super b complex all in one day?
I don't want to over do it. Thanks
It sounds like you're on the right track, Sherron.
The one thing you didn't mention was taking either glutamine or IntestiNew (one or the other, not both.) It's important to heal up any holes that might be in the intestines.
The best to you.

Thanks for your help Kelley. I will be going back tomorrow to purchase the glutamine. I will be sure to keep you posted on my progress =)
I am so glad i stumbled upon your advice. I am 20 years old and had clear skin up till I turned 20. The stress of college and working took a toll on my skin and I started breaking out on my forehead. I used natural approaches like lemon juice and cucumbers but I did it so much I dried my skin out, which of course created more breakouts. So, I gave in to see a dermatologist who reccomended chemical peels. I had 2 done and started breaking out in places I never even had before! This entire process started effecting me emotionally, and I soon began having anxiety attacks and depression.I was such a confident person, but the continuous breakouts that werent going away haunted me. After a few months trying to get myself back on track, I slowly started to clear but returned to the derm to see what he had to say. He then prescribed me fluconazole because he thought I had a yeast overgrowth on my skin. I took that for 2 weeks, cleared, but the moment I stress I breakout again. I started researching BIG TIME about candida and come to find out stress and cortisol (which I had tested and the levels were through the roof) cause an overgrowth of yeast!? symptoms including depression, anxiety,discharge, and so on. So I started cutting out much of my carb consumption,as well as sugar, and inscreased lots of fruits and veggies. (I am a vegietarian) I went to the local health food store and I am now taking evening primrose oil, zinc, acidophilus, bromelain, vitamin b complex, vitamin c, vitamin e, and drinking tons of water! I wanted to know if you feel that is too much? Also I want to thank you for all your information. I hate going to dermatologists because they just jump to prescribing pills, which in the long run are bad for you. I also have been using face wash with tea tree oil in it. I still havent been 100% clear in over 6 months, but I am thinking that has something to do with my constant anxiety and stress? Also, I too believe when you get the inside on track, it will show on the outside :)
Hi Alyssa,
I wouldn't be surprised if your cortisol levels didn't go down once the yeast is under control. Yeast can cause people to be jittery which is a stress which drives up cortisol.
The supplements look okay to me. Are the supplements you're taking helping you? That's how I'd decide if they were too much or not.
The best to you.

Hi Kelly,
Thank you for this fabulous recipe.
I start the olive leaf, caprilic acid and PB 8. It's really doing a good job, I don't have any yeast infection anymore, but I still getting break out, and I have a thyroid problem, my thread enlarge due to work harder(I had my half thyroid remove 7years ago, I don't take any hormone replacement) I don't really favor medication.
So I just bout glutamine and enzyme, I need your recommendation;
1.what is the best time to take glutamine and enzyme, morning or night?
2.And can I take them together with olive leaf, caprilic acid, n PB 8?
3. With meal or empty stomach?
4. Please recomend each dosage for each supplement...
Btw I took olive leaf 2, caprilic avid 1, and 2 for pb8 they areon the form capsules.
Please advice. And thank you so much.
This acne it's effecting my personal life, and I need to get back on tract. Btw, i beginning to eat healthy, limit sugar intake, more greens, raw fresh, fruits.
Thank again.
Best,
Julie. B
Hi julie,
It's great to hear that you are having some success!
I would start out with just one olive leaf and one caprylic acid a day to avoid headaches and massive breakouts.
Everything can be taken at the same time, if you'd like. I don't know if it matter what time of day you take them. With food is probably the best way.
I'd take the enzymes when I ate to help me to absorb my food and to help prevent bloating and the like.
Vitamin World carries a .15% tea tree oil wash which can be real nice for breakouts to help clear them up quicker.
The best to you.

Hi Kelly,
One more thing, how many time to take enzyme?
And also glutamine? One capsules a day?
Thanks!! Sorry I sm asking too much. I just don't want over dose. ;)
Best
Julie B
Hi Julie,
With glutamine I would take 5 grams (5,000 mgs) twice a day. Your capsules are probably only 500 or maybe a 1,000 mgs.
I know it's inconvenient, but I would open enough capsules to get to 5,000 mgs and then add some water. If your capsules are 500 mgs, you'd need to open 10 capsules.
When you run out buy glutamine powder instead of capsules. You'l find it in the body building section of the store. (Yup, you're building smooth muscle.) :-)
The enzymes are taken whenever you eat a meal.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley,
Thank you for your amazing formula!
I have been doing this for 2 months and now I have flawless skin!!!!
And I need your recommendation on moisturizer, winter is coming and it's very dry, what is
The best and safe moisturizer for a face? For acne prone skin, won't clog pores and organic?
Thanks!!
H.
Oh my Harriette, that is fantastic! It's great to hear your skin is now flawless! What was your skin like two months ago?
I'd like to tell my mailing lists about the before and after. The more detailed you can be the better.
Um, I'm a guy, so moisturizers are out of my league. LOL! Organic live oil? I've heard good things about Burt's Bees...I'm really reaching here LOL.
I don't have a clue. I'd rather admit that than to steer you wrong.

Hii Kelly!!! um i want to ask u a very impotent ? can i please have ur face book adress or any contac info so that i may ask. its regarding yha recipe 4 acne and im wanderin what type of diet to go long with it
Hi Jack,
My recipe for clear skin is right here on this page. :-)
I don't give a lot of dietary advice, leaving to other websites and a million books for that. Obviously one should avoid junk food, and eat fresh fruits and vegetables.
One guideline is if you can't pronounce an ingredient, don't eat it. Also avoid packaged foods. Eat organic. Etc. It's easy to understand, and a challenge to follow.
The best to you.

Thanks Kelly!! ok ur prolly gonna hunt me down and kill me if i ask another ? lol but jus ! more i think?:) soo if caprilyc acid and olive extract and probiotics is all i need to clear my acne then whats all this talk out there about hormones and colon buildup being linked to acne??? and by the way does harriette have any pics of her success or any at all on ur site becuz i am goin to buy ur recipe c the prob is that ma family dont eat healthy and its hard 4 me uknow??:( but how long will it take b4 i c 100 clear results? Thanks!!
Hi Jack,
I'll make you a deal. I'll answer your questions if you spell out the words the way they hopefully were taught to you in school rather than in cell phone txt. :-)
Otherwise I will have to hunt you down, nowhutImean? It's a pain in the bu** trying to decipher the way you write.
If a person gets their yeast under control and re-establishes their friendly bacteria, it goes a long way towards getting a healthy colon. That helps with the hormones as well.
Doing a colon cleanse can help even more, of course.
As for how long it will take, it depends on too many factors for me to give you the correct answer. If, like you say, you eat poorly, then it's going to take longer if it works at all.
By the way, it has been two weeks since your first questions, yet you are talking about "goin to buy ur recipe."
I can guarantee that my recipe doesn't work before you start using it.
The best to you.

Hey Kelley how are you? Glad to find this site! I'm a 25 year old Female and about 6 years ago I was put on a birth control pill. Once I got off the pill I broke out horribly. After years of suffering I went to a dermatologist who put me on an Antibiotic that worked wonders for 3 YEARS! Yes, 3 years! Horribl, I know. I've just gotten off the Antibiotics because I figured it wouldnt be healthy in the long run and I've decided to go natural. Obviously, I'm breaking out again. My breakouts are hormonal, hence they appear on my chin only. So far I've been taking PB-8 twice a day. Zince-acne twice a day. Vit E- and a Natural pill thats especially for acne thats made of all sorts of berries and fruits but I forgot the name at the moment. Nothing is really keeping me break out free 100%. What is your intake on curing hormonal acne. :(
Hi Melissa,
You might have a hormonal problem but there is also an antibiotic/yeast problem on top of that.
I'm not an expert on hormonal conditions, so I can't assist you in that regard. But getting yeast overgrowth under control can only have a positive effect. It might even affect your hormones in a positive way.
The best to you.

Hi, this info looks great and I really hope it helps me because for the last 2 years i have had constant spots on my face. I used to have spots on my chest and back also, but lately they have a cleared a little. I have been on all the antibiotics recommended by my doc but no improvements really.. I am 10 stone and 18 years old and have no medical problems. But I NEED to get rid of these spots :( ... So how often and how much of olive leaf extract, caprylic acid, PB-8 and glutamine should i be taking? Please reply in great detail as i am clueless on amount to be taking ..
Thanks,
Thomas.
Hi Thomas,
I guess it would have helped if I had put the dosages in the article, huh?
Here you go:
So here's what I would do. I'd take a combination of olive leaf extract, and caprylic acid - one of each, each day - to get the yeast under control.
PB-8 or Primal Defense: I would follow the instructions on the bottle depending which one was using.
I've found the amino acid called glutamine to be effective. In two months or less, the holes seem to be patched up when 5 grams are taken twice a day in a glass of water.
A product called IntestiNew can be used in place of the glutamine. It works even better than glutamine by itself. It costs more than Glutamine but you might only need one month of it, so it might end up costing less. I would use the powdered IntestiNew and not the one that comes in capsules. I would follow the instructions on the container for dosing if it were me.
Sometimes those with acne also suffer from bloating when they eat. For that I'd take a good multi-enzyme with each meal to help the digestive tract get back on track. The amount needed is best done through trial and error.
A tea tree oil LOTION can be used topically to help get faster results. But to solve the real problem, I would use the rest of the recipe for a couple months or until I got complete results.
I would continue with the PB-8 or another really excellent similarly priced probiotic (that means a higher price - don't try to save a few dollars here) for the rest of my life.
The best to you.

Hi again,
Thanks for the speedy reply. I went out today and bought everything you said except both my local health stores had neither PB-8 or Primal Defense. But i got this thing called 'Probbio 7' .. She said its the same has PB-8 because it has '8 types of friendly bacteria in it . Is this correct? Its the strongest type of tablet she has like this? I purchased it, but i can return.
Also i got the tea tree oil lotion. Am i to use this as a moisturiser ? Or should i have bought the tea tree oil wash ?
Your recommendations are much appreciated .
Thanks.
Hi Thomas,
Good for you getting started!
I'm not familiar with Probio7.
The tea tree oil is not a moisturizer. Rather it is an anti microbial that helps to get rid of visible blemishes at least temporarily.
Yes, the was sounds like what you need rather than a creme.
The best to you.
Kelley Eidem

Ok, last question... sorry.
If i get the tea tree wash would it be worth using the 'Tee Tree Skin Lotion (Daily moisturiser)' after i use the wash... or should i just use my regular moisturiser ?
Thanks
Hi Thomas,
I would lay off the moisturizers for right now. I'm take or increase my intake of fish oil, krill oil or coconut oil taken orally if I wanted to moisturize my skin for the moment rather than using any lotions topically.
I'd want to give my skin a chance to breathe and heal for a while.
I apologize for telling you tea tree lotion. I screwed up. ;-) I meant tea tree body wash.

I know it's a silly question but are any of the products mentioned tested on animals? If so are there any alternatives that aren't? And is using these methods different for teenagers, if so how?
P.S this info seems great and seems to have really worked for people! I can't wait to try it! How did you come across all these solutions because the way you say spots come about is completely different to other things I've heard?! I'm really glad I stumbled across you page because I've been looking for a solution to my pimples for what seems like ages!!! :-)
Hi Stephanie,
The ingredients in my recipe are natural food supplements, so they don't get tested on animals as there is no need to.
As you can see, my recipe has worked. I just look at the anatomy and physiology of how or why something would occur, and sometimes I can come up with a solution.
Basically, the body tries to discharge the bad stuff inside of us. One route of exit is the skin. But we need to go to the source of where the bad stuff came from.
Too much research is done looking for isolated causes when in reality our body is like a symphony of reactions.
By way of analogy, look at ice cream. Ice cream tastes good. If we tried to find the one ingredient that made it taste good and tried to eat only that one ingredient, it wouldn't taste great like ice cream does.
In the same way, we shouldn't look for one isolated thing to fix our skin when there are eruptions. The skin has the ability to throw off many different kinds of crud. So we work with that, it generally works pretty good because we are getting to the source of the problem.
If we stop creating the junk that our body expels through the skin, then the problem goes away. Furthermore, if we lose the cravings for those things that start the problem, then we are even further ahead.
At first our body might release more stuff through our skin, because that is the best way to get it out. But if we use a tea tree oil wash, it can help to minimize the appearance and get it out more quickly.
The best to you.

Hello Kelley,
I used to have Severe Juvenile Arthritis. During that time I took loads of heavy prescriptions meds, was on month long durations of antibiotics and was on the birth control pill for 2.5 years. Realizing none of it was working, I stopped everything. After stopping the pill and antibiotics, I decided to go an all natural route. I cut out Gluten, Dairy, processed foods, and nothing that wasnt organic. Now, thanks goodness my arthritis is gone but for the last two years (after stopping the pill and antibiotics) I've had terrible acne. I eat really well, exercise, and do just about everything. I've tried every natural face wash and after concluding nothing ON my skin would help just stuck to organic soap. How can I be so healthy and still have acne? Could it be a yeast problem? I tried to balance out my hormones the last two years but that doesnt seem to be the only problem even though the acne is just all over my jawline and some on my forehead. Could it all be a yeast problem? I've taken oil of oregano and just started olive leaf a few days ago? Can it be cured? Will it? I'm so desperate I'm about to give up. My career needs clear skin but I dont know how or what to do to get it?
Does Olive Leaf cause a Die-Off reacton? Do things get worse before they get better? If they do, how long does it last?
Hi Jenna,
Olive leaf can cause a die-off. I would drink extra water, that helps a great deal. Things don't have to get worse before they get better.
One strategy would be to start with just the PB-8 for a week. Then add one caprylic acid a day for a week. Next I'd add the IntestiNew (or glutamine) for a week, before adding one olive leaf a day.
So the first week it is one product. The second week it's two, and so on until all four are being taken. I'd continue that way. After a month or two, I'd stop the glutamine. I'd stop the olive leaf and caprylic acid once my cravings were solidly gone.
I'd continue with the PB-8 for a life alternating between it and some other excellent probiotic.
If the cravings come back, the program can always be started again. This can happen because some of our foods can have antibiotics in them.
i have a blemishes on my face can u tell me what should i do..............please help me..... Thanks...
hi i have a normal to dry skin but these days i got alot of whiteheads like pimples on my forehead.............help me please..........
Hi Kiran,
If I were dealing with what you describe, I would follow my recipe as it is explained above and I would get some tea tree oil wash and use that to wash my face.

Hi Maria,
Sorry I missed your comment earlier.
I would certainly give my recipe a try if it were me.
Another possibility could be a good liver cleanse. It might require both. One to reverse the effects of antibiotics an the other to reverse the toxicity of the medications.
While I was doing one or both, I would use tea tree oil body wash to help diminish the acne quickly.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley
I am 32 yrs and have lot of pimple marks left over on my face since from the last 10 yrs.. few pimples still appear near periods arrival and have pinkish patch on either side of my nose.. i have a combination skin(oily T zone and dry cheeks)
I am indian and now staying in UAE. I wish to try ur recipe for sure if i get the things suggested by you in the recipe here in Abu Dhabi.
My question is..
1. we use Bread.. cakes..pizza and all in ours daily lifes.. all this contains lot of yeast.. do we have to stop intake of bread(or yeast dwelling foods) in our diets?
2. Can i continue with normal skin care prooducts (cleanser, toner, moisturiser) to maintain my skin along with following ur recipe?? if yes than
3. The skin care products like "Olay" etc are good for skin or should opt for other products(for moisturising the skin)?
4.does spicy food also initiates pimples?
Hi Humera,
The yeast in food is different from the yeast colonies in our intestines. However, cakes and pizza often present acne problems. I really couldn't say, because I'm not familiar with the foods where you live.
I"m not a cosmetics expert either. Oil of Olay probably has some things in it that aren't so good for the skin. You would been to do some research on what you are using and see if you couldn't find some better alternatives.
Yes, you can still go through th regular skin care practices. It does depend on what is in the products. You'll need to conduct your own research on what is good. I would look for truly natural products - not just products that claim they contain some specific natural ingredent.
Spicy foods don't cause pimples.

Hi Kelley,
Thanks for the immediate and informative response.. really appreciate.
It will be great, if you could suggest me some natural skin care products, which you have used for cleansing, toning and moisturizing along with ur recipe.
I will love to read if you have written any books on ur research. If u haven't than pls do it becoz a lot of people would love to get rid off their skin problems like me :-)
With lots of prayers and cristmus wishes ur way.
Take care.
Hi Humera,
I'm a guy, so I don't do cleansing, toning, and moisturizing. LOL.
I do put the lids (both) down on the commode, but that's as close as I get to being metrosexual.
Some day, if I ever get around to it, I might write a book that includes many different topics including things like this.

Hi i have this problem for nearly 2 months i am 16 going onto 17 i have a boyfirned as well. Well i have been having really bad spots on my face they are really itchy and are really big. When i pop them this liquid comes out of it and it leavesa a scar and sometimes they come back bigger and i am really annoyed about it if you can could you find a sulution for this then ill be really pleased. I do tend to wear alot of make-up so could this also make it worser??.
Take care
Skye ..
Hi Skye,
As hard as it might be not to do it, please avoid popping your blemishes.
I would get some tea tree oil body wash from a health food store and put that on my face to help from the outside.
I'd also follow the recipe I've written about in my article above.
Make up can certainly clog pores. Tea tree oil body washes can help to kill the bacteria that produces acne.

i have been following this recipe for a month now, but without the pb-8,it seems I'm breaking out more than before. Any suggestions?
Hi Momo,
I would get another super high quality probiotic in place of the PB-8. It is vital to replace the friendly bacteria in order to keep the yeast from flourishing.
Also, you might be experiencing what is called the Herxheimer effect, where things get worse temporarily as the crud leaves the body.

Hi Kelly
I been fighting acne for 6 years and I've used a lot of topical products but it dont permanently remove it and it has gotten worst. It come and go on my nose and few other spots on my body. It comes in a red spot on my nose like a rash, then it turn into a pimple after a day or two and I can feel the irritation in my nose. Right now I'm using an oil free neutrogena face cleaner, pure tea tree oil, started eating salmon, fruits and less fatty food and I also quit smoking for like 2 weeks now. My face have clearing a little but the pimple is still surfacing. I was wondering if I can include your remedy with what I currently use to clear my skin once and for all?
Hi Sackie,
You're doing some good things to fight the acne from the outside. My recipe complements that by helping to get rids of the causes from the inside.
Just so yoo aren't surprised, it's likely that as a person clears out the gunk from the inside, the gunk will try to escape through the skin. So it often occurs that a person has a bigger breakout at some point before it clears up really well.
So I would start slow by using just the PB-8 for a week before adding the other stuff. I would only take one olive leaf extract a day and one caprylic acid each day.
Also, I'd be ready to use the tea tree oil in particular to help the process to clear up quickly and easily. I would be sure to drink 8 glasses of water each day.
The best to you.

Thank you so much for the advice. I will be ordering those stuff this weekend, and I will keep you posted on the progress!
Hey Kelley, I've tried your recipe (pb8, olive leaf, caprylic). I've started to break out even more. Is it normal to get worse before healing?? It just makes me at a dead end here.
Hi Malee,
It can cause an increase in breakout in the beginning as the body eliminates the junk that is in the body. If you didn't get rid of them quickly, you'd just get them slowly over time, plus get even more because the toxins produce more toxins the longer they remain in the body.
I would use tea tree body wash to quickly eliminate any breakout if it were me.
The best to you.

Hi Annette,
After providing the information for free for 3 1/2 years and answering questions for no charge, I decided to turn it into a Kindle book giving them exclusive publication rights. So I'm not allowed to publish it here. It is only $2.99, so it is quite reasonably priced.
It doesn't matter if you have a Kindle or not because free Kindle apps are available which enables you to read Kindle books in your computer or elsewhere.

Hi Kelly, I was just wondering if following your remedies would work in the case of acne scarring and red blemishes I've been fighting for close to 3 years. Thanks.
Hi Corey,
I doubt it would help with scarring, but I would use it to clear out the toxins that are still present to prevent future red blemishes and additional scarring. There may be temporary worsening before it clears up.
I wold take the PB-8 for a week and the IntestiNew with it before starting on the other two.
Perhaps Zymesssence for a couple months would help to soften the scarring. I'd take it on an empty stomach with 8 ounces of water three times a day.
Even if it doesn't help with that, it could have very positive effects on your interior health.
The best to you.

One more question if you'd be so kind. I've never quite understood the difference between acne scarring and red blemishes in the skin. Could you by any chance clarify that?
Hi Corey,
It depends on what you mean by a red blemish. If you mean a zit like redness that has puss in it, that would be an infection.
If by red blemish you mean reddish scar tissue, that is something else. There might be infection and puss under it, but it cannot escape due to the scar tissue.
The best to you.

Thanks Kelley. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but how would I get rid of toxins fast?
Hi Melee,
It just depends on how much toxins a person has. One way to increase the detox would be to take an increased dose of the olive leaf extract and the caprylic acid.
The best to you.

Been reading the posts and was wondering if your regime is safe to use while breastfeeding and whether baby can get excessive yeast from mother (our son has been congested in sinus passages behind nose since he was born) and if yes, if your regime will clear his congestion as well?
Thx!
Hi Nic,
Yes, candida can apparently be passed on through nursing.
I don't know if my recipe might be too hard on an breastfeeding infant if taken by the mother. The probiotic pB-8 would probably be just fine. The bottle says no, but that is likely there simply due to our litigious society.
I'd look into a product called ThreeLac to see if it would be okay.
The best to you.

how can i reduce my red spots on my face please help me thnks..
And sir how to use tree oil?
tnx sir more power to you GOd BLeSs
Hi Simple,
I'd either find a tea tree oil wash that has diluted tea tree oil in it or dab a drop of tea tree oil onto my finger and then dab it on the blemish.
More is not better.
The best to you.

i see that the weight loss hub is gone :( anyways i will post my comment here than.. i have been taking vitamin shoppe's caprylica acid olive leaf extract, mulit enzymes,pb8. l-glutamine. and i have gained 4 lbs within the 3 weeks (which will be tuesday) i feel less bloated less gassy, i was severely constipades thanks to 3 pb-8's a day i go once a day. i do nto drink water is that my problem? and cravings for sweets have minimized i must say but then it's almost time for my period and i have cravings for everything including sweets hehehe it seems like around that time nothing can stop me maybe there's a supplement for that hehehe lol. Anyhow overall i feel better it's just that scale is not going down so it's aggrevating , and instead of that sweet i am craving more bread does not sound funny? thank you
continued...I wanted to ask If i should continue to take vitamin shoppe's brand or should i try different ones? now i take 3 pills of each except 2 enzymezs after each meal
Hi Sabina,
If you are still craving sweets and bread during your cycle, then it is possible to gain weight. It's still early yet. Although some people get lucky and see their cravings go away quickly, for others it can take a couple months.
If you have a Vitamin World store, try their brand. They test the potency of their herbs before and after bottling.
The best to you.

Hi Sabina,
Each person is different, I really can't give you an amount. I'd experiment of I wanted to find the optimal amount.

Would you say that in conjunction with your recipe, would you say that it is safe for me to also take some birth control meds to help balance out my hormones? I've been on your recipe for about a month now and have noticed change,but it's also that time of the month where I break out with cysts acne on my chin and jawline. I've been using tea tree and tea tree oil but it's a slow healing process
Hi Kaycee,
I would look into herbs like black cohosh combined with wild yam to help balance my hormones if it were me, rather than birth control pills.
It might take a little longer, but maybe you can avoid the yo yo experience which in the long run would prevent constant monthly battles.
The best to you.

I have been on the weightloss protocol for almost a month. I have strep is there something i can do without abx.
by the way i have been using l glutamine powder5000mgs but only onbe a day do u think thats the reason im not losing weight. Is it ok to take intestnew but in pill form or it needs to be a powder
Hi Sabinka,
Here are a couple options I would try: echinacea combined with goldenseal, Alkalol.
Alkalol is a natural that can be obtained from some pharmacies and health food stores in the US. You'll need to ask for it because it is generally not out on the shelf. I would gargle with it.
The best to you.

What about the glutamine powder? Do you think that i haven't been losing because i have been taking it once a day only? Can i do the intestenew pills or does it have to be powder? Thank you
I got the Echinacea with goldenseal its a now product and it says to put in water and drink is that ok? Or should i gargle ?
Hi Sabinka,
If you want to gargle with it, go ahead, because that might increase it's action. You might find the taste of goldenseal to be objectionable, however.
The best to you.

Hi Kelley!
I am 23 years old and I have a mild type of polycystic ovaries.The only problem I have is acne, red spots on my forehead and cheeks that have been on my skin since May last year I stopped taking contraceptive. My nutritionist said the candida overgrowth I might have causes PCOS. I had a colonic therapy in January 2012 (no Candida yeast found) and a liver flush (some grains eliminated)and I also have a very healthy diet 80% alkaline. I've been on the candida ''die-off'' treatment since last week and the only simptom I have is bloating and some whiteheads that appear constantly on my face together with those reddish spots I have. My nutritionist said to continue with the ''die off'' thing and my skin will clear up whitin 12 weeks and I would never have PCOS.
What would you think about that ? I am very disappointed as I can't see any improvement on skin so far, I know the contraceptive are not that good, but they helped me a lot, I used to have a very clear skin in the past.
Please if you could help me it would be more than appreciated.
Thank you a lot,
Ana Maria
Hi Ana,
Contraceptive pills interfere with normal hormone cycles.
If it were me, I'd use a tea tree oil wash for the breakout so that you can detoxify without too much of a problem. The tea tree oil helps to get rid of the acne much faster.
The best to you.

I have used Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash with Organic Tea Tree Oil and Awapuhi for 3 to 4 years now and have never been troubled by acne since I started using it. Acne breakouts are a thing of the past. You are so correct, Kelley.
