My Search For An Acne Scar Cure

Like I said, my search for an acne scar cure began about 3 years ago after my eldest daughter asked me again what was wrong with my face, but my story begins way before that.

Since 8th grade, I’d had trouble with pimples and had been called the usual names like “pizza face”, “crater face” and a lot more that I’ve been trying to forget. I’d also tried just about every acne treatment I could find with little to moderate success. During high school and college I slopped so many different acne creams and ointments on my skin I turned it into a science experiment at times. I tried many different acne clearing diets and forced my momma down to Walgreens every week for something new.

My doctors have suggested everything from Accutane, Antibiotics, Zenmed, Oratin, Benezoyl peroxide to reflexology but nothing helped.

Once I graduated college, I figured I’d be safe but then came the adult acne. My husband was patient but I know it was difficult for him to kiss me due to the pimples sometimes. When I was pregnant with my first child things were really bad. My hormones went crazy and every day it seemed to get worse and worse.

I really wanted to be like everyone else, to have clear skin and get rid of my blackheads. As an accountant, I was used to using the Internet to find information regarding new tax regulations and other boring stuff and it suddenly occurred to me to search for acne treatments and acne remedies online.

I got myself the first internet connection I could find and went in search of salvation. Most importantly I found out I wasn’t alone. There were a LOT of people on the internet who suffered from the same oily skin, frequent breakouts and nasty pimples that I did!

I also found the snake oil salesmen and bought a lot of their products before I knew better. My UPS driver at the office wondered why I was getting so many personal deliveries. Even though the prescriptions didn’t work, some of the diets were downright strange and some of the creams made my face hurt, I knew there had to be an acne cure out there for me.

I began to narrow down the type of solution I was looking for. With children in my house, it had to be cheap, natural and not just a cream I put on the pimples and blackheads when they arrived.

I wasn’t looking for a miracle, just a solution to my acne problem that didn’t just treat a breakout, but was a holistic, natural acne solution to reduce breakouts and clear up my existing scarring.

Eventually I found it.
