Forget all those chemicals- please look here!

....forget peroxide this and that! My story- if you are desperate - please take the time to read this, I have to help someone & I HAVE to tell you, that's how much this means to me!

I used a brand called ALBA BOTANICA (the ENTIRE HAWAIIAN LINE). The Papaya Enzyme peel is a miracle product- not exaggerating. You could also try another company called MYCHELLE, another organic line. It's all about the enzymes that 'eat' or disintegrate skin cells and bacteria, etc.

I'm a normal 29 year old female who had a facial acne nightmare for almost 2 years. I tried Pro-active and Murad. I went to an aesthetician for 5 peels, micro-dermabrasions & extractions- tons of $$$ + I would literally cry on the table from the pain. My dermatologist even gave me some diuretic pharmaceutical (supposedly to help polycystic ovarian syndrome which wasn't even diagnosed) to the horror of my general practitioner who asked me to immediately quit taking it & questioned if I noticed increased urination, haha.

I HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT ALL. So much money and wasted time! My botox-filled aesthetician was sympathetic but annoyingly clicked her tongue and would repeat "My! Your skin is just SO THICK!" She advised I stay on Retin-A. Are you kidding?

I almost became a depressed recluse, my face was sooo infected and inflamed for almost 2 years. I literally would look in the mirror and cry while I would sanitize a needle and attempt extractions myself. Seriously, like 20-30 at a time.

I feel YOUR pain and want you to know what worked for me, I need to find a before pic to prove it- which is difficult since I avoided the camera like the plague!

Out of desperation I figured I needed something to exfoliate my face naturally, not scrub the hell out of it or use chemically-laden compounds that pharmaceuticals tried to push & doctors make a profit on. They smell so horrible & toxic, why would you want to use that junk on your skin anyway? It didn't even work unless you consider drying out your skin severely.

I chose all natural fruit Enzyme cleansers - this line is so ______ amazing! I have to tell you guys because I KNOW the pain I was in, emotionally and PHYSICALLY from the adult acne. You probally are, too.

It has been a little over a month now, with amazing results. I know that I sound like some sort of spokesperson but I swear I'm not. The infections are gone and the hyper-pigmentation (bruising) is all but non-existent. NOT KIDDING! In a little over a month?

You should try it, at the very least- it doesn't reek like Murad's sulfur lotion!

To prove that I'm not their paid advertisement I want you to know you shouldn't even pay their price on their websites..........You can buy any of it pretty cheap at VITACOST - a supplement discount site (but I would look at Alba & Mychelle websites first, so you know what you should look for at Vitacost).

Good luck everyone!

I also stand to viewpoint that proactiv is far from efficient in treating acne compare to other products. They spend way too much money on celebrity endrosement
