Derma e Very Clear Cleansing Scrub

MY SKIN/LIFESTYLE BACKGROUND

I'm a 31 yr old woman who has always battled skin problems. I have an overproduction of "sebum" aka oil on my face, neck, back, torso and my behind. Since I moved to sunny, hot, humid FL in 2003, it has gotten a lot worse. Even more so in the summer heat & my work out routine; continuesly have problems everywhere else, but my face. I use "Palladio rice paper oil blotters" thrtry to control the oil on my face, throughout the day, which has really helped limit the larger, red, painful breakouts. But I still get the "sebum" pimples, which are small, skin colored, painless bumps on my face. Though IF/WHEN bacteria gets in there they become red & inflammed & look like a typically uncomfortable pimple. Out of sheer frustration I started reading up on what the differences are b/w "sebum", "sebatious pimples", "hormonal pimples" & understanding the differences. Finally got things more manageable now after trying different topical soaps, bars, washing laundry w/ fragrance free detergent, changing my bedding weekly (pillow classes nightly), vitamins, went to see 3 different highly raved about dermatologists, who all recommended oral antibiotics (which I don't want to take long term)

Found "Derma E" product line at Whole Foods & thought I'd give it a try based on my experiences from the various products Ive already used (detailed below for those interested). I bought the following items for BODY (not face): the body wash, scrub & skinbiotics creme (after showering) & cannot say enough positive things! Cost is very reasonable, works better than any other RX I got from dermatologists, softens skin & calms it. I also like that it's very natural; Tea Tree Oil has antibacterial & anti fungal properties, safe enough to put on bikini area after shaving to help w/ razor bumps.

Prescriptions (RX) I have been using or tried

1. RX body & face washes; don't remember the names, tried a couple. Made no difference & was hard to get out of bottle, didn't lather, application was tricky. Also stains

RX topical creams for face (both cause high light sensitivity. Was told by doctor to wear SPF 45 or higher daily)

Both used @ night ONLY

1. RETIN-A Micro Gel 0.1%: still use this once a week, mostly for anti aging benefits. Will make your skin peel

2. TAZORAC GEL 0.05%. Still use, once a week. Skin looks smoother next day

1. DUAC TOPICAL GEL: for spot treatment on acne/blemishes: I didn't notice much of a change, if at all. Didn't use it too long. Doesn't seem strong enough. can be used day/night

2. EPIQUIN MICRO (hydro quinine USP 4%) Skin Lighting Cream: This works, but you have to apply it morning & night. Small amount goes a long way. You have to blend it in really well so it doesnt make brown patch seem darker, when your in public, since color of cream is DARK brown. Washes off. I have about a quarter size light brown patch on my forehead that's splotchy. And also a brown spot/sun spot above my top lip. Looks like a mustache! Will take about a week to fade out, but as soon as the summer months arrive, it is a constant battle.

FACIAL SPF

"ELTA MD UV Clear SPF 46": recommened by my dermatologist. Used for skin types prone to acne, very light. As far as I can tell it is doing a great job. Been using it for about 6 months, daily. Just got my 2nd bottle. Lasts awhile & is inexpensive. Highly recommend. Though I'm thinking I need a deep facial more often, as it could b contributing to the excess sebum on my face?

Hope my novel was useful for someone!

I have normal skin (a little more oily T-zone with occasional unexplained breakouts. As a holistic esthetician and avid DermaE user, I highly recommend this scrub!

Buy Derma e Very Clear Cleansing Scrub Now

I'm very fond of derma e products and swear by their derma e Peptides Plus Double-Action Wrinkle Reverse Crème, 2 oz (56 g) and derma e Microdermabrasion Scrub, 2 oz (56 g). The dermabrasion scrub is very effective but should not be used more than once a week, so I've been looking for a good everyday scrub. I prefer one with salicylic acid, which is not just for acne treatment but is also good for aging skin like mine, to slough off the top layer of skin cells and reveal a softer look.

This Very Clear Scrub not only contains salicylic acid (willow bark) but also has loads of tea tree oil, another product I love. Some people object to the smell of tea tree oil but I've been using it for years and have actually grown fond of its odor. (Can't say the same for my cat, who avoids me like the plague if I use the oil full strength.) However, for this scrub to be a perfect product I would like it to have more scrubbing particles. But since it is my scrub to use on days I'm resting my skin from the microdermabrasion scrub, perhaps I should be happy it's a bit more gentle than I like scrubs to be. One can probably get too much of a good thing, right?

My skin is not sensitive so I've had no adverse reactions to any of these products I use and I'm happy with the way my skin looks and feels.

I'm 32 and pregnant for the first time. Around the 3rd month, I started to get acne breakouts the large, painful, deep sort of pimples. I tried using tea tree oil alone, which helped with existing pimples, and a simple tea tree face wash, but that didn't seem to help prevent breakouts very much. Due to pregnancy, I avoid salicylic acid, which rules out most standard over the counter acne cleansers. I tried a trial of Derma e Very Clear Problem Skin cleanser for about a week and my acne really cleared up. When the trial amount I had was used up, my acne came right back. So I went out and purchased the scrub cleanser and have been very happy with it. It has reduced my acne significantly, and I have not had a single large, deep, painful pimple since I've been using it. At this rate, I will continue to use this product until perhaps my skin changes yet again! I love that this is very reasonably priced as well.

A couple of other notes: I had been told that for acne washes to work well, it is important to leave them on the face for about 2 minutes. So I massage it on my face gently for about 1 minute and leave it sit for another minute before rinsing it off. Also, immediately after rinsing, there is a bit of an oily film left on the skin. I believe this is probably the oils in the cleanser and it took a little getting used to. However, after about 5 or 10 minutes, the oil absorbs into the skin and my face feels very clean and smooth. Since it is probably these oils that keep the acne at bay and condition the skin, I figure this is a good thing. I find my skin doesn't feel oily or dry with this cleanser, and I'm prone to both in combination. Finally, I think it also helps to calm skin and reduce redness. Great product! I definitely recommend it!

This is a good face wash, with a nice smell. They stopped carrying this at the local store, so looked online. Exfoliating and has a gritty texture.
