Do you use this cold out of the fridge or do you warm it up a little?

Cold out of the fridge, it feels wonderful cold... IDK if heating it up would kill the probiotics in it. I would think that it possibly would. But I'm loving it and so is my skin!

Your story sounds very similar to what I have been going through. I have done the same, trying everything I could buy. Nothing worked, pro activ oxy etc. I began to research and look for all natural cures as the other remedies dried my skin and irritated it. I noticed my skin flaked a lot. I experimented and came up with a great treatment. I bought pine tar soap for exfoliation and tri derma intense healing cream. Combined together they soften and eventually removed acne scar tissue. Everyone noticed immediately saying I was getting my baby face back. Important thing to remember after using pine tar soap use a gentle exfoliation pad to remove dead skin and old scar tissue. Best time to exfoliate is 1 minute after your face dries. The pine tar soap also does wonders for killing the bacteria. That means no need for harsh chemicals that dry out your skin and flake. After exfoliation apply intense healing cream to face. Can be done twice a day. This is something I have chanced upon this year and after 1 month my skin is improving dramatically.

Where are you getting the soap? A natural food store or some where like that? After I have treated my skin it gets pretty dried out and flakes. I can't have that since I have to wear make up a couple times a week. Moisturizer just doesn't seem to help at all.

I order from a magazine but pretty sure it will turn up online after a quick search. The tri derma intense healing cream should also be relatively easy to find.. The flaking is always what did my face the worst harm making more breakouts than I was fixing. That's where the pine tar soap comes in. In my experience the oil that comes with acne tends to make dead skin cells build up instead of falling off in a natural course. these clog pores making the breakouts worse. More breakouts more clogs. Then if you clean the oil on your skin with anything, the dead skin wants to falls off after much build up, so it starts flaking and becomes irritated. The pine tar soap seems to release the dead skin cells without the dead skin sticking to healthy cells as before to a much lesser degree. This is the time to gently exfoliate. Then apply derma cream. This further releases the dead skin and starts healing the old scars eventually removing them as well. I had deep acne scars I feared I would live with for the rest of my life. Doesn't seem to be the case anymore. My self esteem has improved dramatically as I was once a very handsome man before I was brought low by this plague called acne. Now I can continue my life with one less thing to worry about. Hope this helps someone out there.

So, here I am a 26 year old adult, and I still have skin issues. I have had severe acne since I was 12 years old. I have taken or put on every prescription and over the counter drug there is. My hormones are not out of whack (had that tested). I have altered my diet, drank water until I could literally float, and nothing has calmed the acne down.

When I say I took everything there is to take, I mean it. Accutane included ( a double dose even). Over the years it had gotten better, then worse, then better again. Something will work for a while then stop working altogether. I swear acne becomes immune. I am in one of my bad phases again, and I am looking to try an all natural method or even something weird if I have to.

So... I want to see if anyone can give me any ideas of something new to try. What has worked for you? I will try anything at this point!
