★★★★☆
I battled serious skin issues for 35 years. Cystic acne and more recently auto immune related skin lesions and scarring that left literal holes in my face. The physical and emotional damage is devastating on many levels. Fraxel laser spot treatments 2 - 3 times a year for 4 years finally resolved the holes. Cost is much less now and readily available by estheticians and medical spas. Out of desperation, and to avoid ongoing laser scar treatment, other options I have since used successfully include topical iodine and colloidal silver, alternated with aloe Vera or sea kelp bioferment. Gentle washing and exfoliating with a papaya product also helped. I avoid oil based products, sulphates and all skin/hair products with silicones and dimethicone. Reading labels and avoiding as many chemicals as possible has made a significant difference in frequency and severity of skin issues.
