virgoen18 Â Â 10 #1 Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) I just thought I'd post about my experience in treating acne. I came off the pill 5 months ago and since then my skin has been terrible. After looking at creams and potions and into herbal remedies I read that Oil of Evening Primrose can rebalance your hormones and help acne. I have been taking it for just over a week and the results are astounding. I would never have thought this would work but my skin has nearly cleared up and is a lot less greasy. I would advise anyone struggling with acne to at least give this a try as it's worked wonders on my skin.

Strix   11 #2 Posted July 25, 2011 btw - your signature - chocolate brings me out in spots, as do chips, tea tree oil on my skin, and any shower gels with a blue colour (which is a nuisance as those are the flavours I like best!)

virgoen18 Â Â 10 #6 Posted July 28, 2011 Sorry I wasn't very clear was I. The Oil of Evening Primrose the supplement is what I'm taking. You can buy it in most places. They look just like cod liver oil capsules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
weenireeni   10 #7 Posted July 28, 2011 ah right, i've taken the capsules before for period pains, but am willing to try again - are you taking one a day???  am pregnant at the moment and my skin is awful (more than usual) due to not being on the Pill, so any natural ideas are welcome!

virgoen18 Â Â 10 #8 Posted July 28, 2011 I take one a day. My skin has been absolutely terrible since I came off the pill and I wanted to have a natural remedy instead of filling my body with chemicals. All I can say is that it's helped me. I'm sure it won't work for everyone and not get rid of every last spot but it's stopped me getting the painful cyst like spots all over my chin. If you have nothing to lose it's well worth a try. Hope it works for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
