Natural acne help - Page 2

I'm one week into using honey to wash my face.
Yesterday I tried raw honey and I think it gave better results than the other honey I tried.
I had a new breakout when I started that seems to be going away faster than normal.

I have had nasty adult onset acne since my daughter was born and have tried many things with limited success. This works-really really well. And the products are handmade by people that return your e-mails. And there are no weird ingredients.

Isn't Oyin great!!

oh, no, another Oyin product i now must try they really do rock!

i had really bad break-outs at the beginning of my pregnancy, and washing with honey totally cleared up my skin. it was *awesome* - i think it does need to be raw honey.

For the past 13 years I've tried everything, OTC creams &washes, RX creams & washes, honey, tto, ACV... nothing worked!

Once I went gluten free everything cleared up, for good! Now I only have mild breakouts from stress. I use Desert Essence thoroughly clean face wash every day.

I use the nelson's acne gel for spot treatments as well.

I'm planning on ordering some more calendula cream for my kids. Good to know that I can use it too!

I use the California Baby calendula creme on myself and Vivi.

I did Doug Kauffman's anti-fungal diet.
My face never looked better when I was doing that diet.
It also made my hair look awesome and my nails grow like crazy.

If I could have the will power to stay on that diet, I would.
I never felt better in my life!

I am frustrated because I can't find any ingredient listings on the Oyin site. Am I missing something?

I was looking at the Black Soap and Honey, and the HoneyTint lip balms. Is the Black Soap and Honey the one you use, or is there a plain Black African Soap? Also, does shipping tend to be costly?

I really don't like when websites don't list product ingredients. It always makes me suspicious.

[Jojo F.]

The site doesn't have a specicfic ingredient list but most of it is listed in the description.

Black soap- purified water infused with lavender and calendula, pure african black soap, organic aloe vera juice, raw honey, MSM, grapefruit seed extract, green tea extract, and love

And the shipping really isn't bad at all-go to the site and listen to the pod cast there is a coupon code. Last time I ordered it paid for all the shipping.

Thanks so much Jojo F and jyurina! I really appreciate your help.
