''For "acne-fighting" products, all you really need are two things: for the shower, use a wash that is 2% salicylic acid; for a cream/gel to use during the day/before bed, get one that is 10% benzoyl peroxide ''

any source for that?

Seriously.

Cow milk is fine, assuming: you're tolerant, it isn't filled with prohormones, and isn't filled with antibiotics.

You can go ahead and drink hot sauce; just balance it out.

Great post hope this gets stickied

i used such a creme with 5% when i tried to clean my skin. only positive effect i noticed was bleached clothing everywhere around the spots the creme was put on.

zma worked way better for me and my clothes stayed in the normal color lol.

edit: well only effect sounds rough. ofc it cleaned my skin but at what cost? also that stuff starts to itch like crazy when you go into uv light.

Question about acne: I have had it for a few years now (6) and some of it is gone, but the rest is scarred... how do I get rid of the scars?

im asking this because most of the article has been explained in a really good way. Anyone could easily verify the effect of zinc etc on google.
but about these product im just wondering if the op even know how these '' ingredients'' are acting on the skin. not everyone is the same and what works for one might not work for another person and acne fighting products can get expensive..
that little part was bothering me, but the rest of the article was gg.

Got on d2 and read "Tips from Morholt: Part I" ... AWW C'MON I JST GOT RID OF MY RAGING BONER

Simply put, salicylic acid is good for cleansing your skin and washing away dead skin, which may clog you pores.
The benzoyl peroxide works by pulling oil out of your pores (along with reducing redness). This is why some people will experience dry skin (and may choose to use a less concentrated cream).
