Re: A/R Cream...skin worse than ever!

December 19, 2001

Unfortunately the amount of time it takes to clear all the bacteria out of

your skin seems to vary. I was lucky in that my skin cleared out really fast

but the info I got with the cream said it has taken as much as 3 weeks with

some people before the skin finally starts to improve. After reading that I

waited until I had a " down " month to try it.

Not sure what would help once the cleaning process starts - maybe just

stopping using it?

A suggestion for the next time you are trying something for the first

time ... just try it on one small section of your face. That way, if

you have a reaction, it will be a SMALL section. Like I have bangs,

so I try " new " stuff on my forehead, and that way if I have a bad

reaction, it's covered up anyway. =) I'm sorry you are going through

this. It sounds EXACTLY what happens to me 2 to 3 times a year, and

it's just natural, not medicine induced. It's horrible!!!! I

know!!!! Something that has helped me is COLD! I put cold packs of

ice in bags on my face for a few minutes every day. I'm almost

COMPLETELY clear right now, but most of that is because it's winter

here, and with 25* temps and I'm out walking my daughter to school

every morning and afternoon, it's really helping. Good luck .... and

be patient! I know it's depressing!!!
