| I pretty much have the same question as julie. I have been using this for a few days now. I am enjoying using it because it feels good on my skin. I know I need to give it a decent length of time...but when can I expect to see the blackheads on my nose start disappearing? |

I think that you are correct. I use the oil and balm for the couple of hormonal weeks that my skin is most oily and washed-out looking. This works best for me rather than using them all of the time.

Well nothing is going to work over night!  You need to be using some sort of exfoliant, (either chemical or manual, I love E2) along with some sort of mask to "draw" the blackheads out. There is so magical potion that will do it all, the Decleor oils and balms should be used in conjunction with your overall skin care routine. Hope that helps! |

Right! I use the Neroli oil AM and PM right now and its fine, but as the balms contain wax and heavier oils they might clog the pores if used for an extended period of time. I think you are on the right track giving your skin TLC when its all wacky like that. I'm kinda doing the same experiment with no no acids routine. |

Thanks vonstella. I guess I'm always hoping for a miracle cure 
I have been using e2 for the past few weeks and am loving it. I guess the only thing i'm missing from your suggestions is a mask, perhaps I should think about adding one in...
I have read a lot of recommendations for BHA for blackheads too but am thinking that using that on top of e2 might be a bit ott. |

Yes, I discovered that when my skin started to act up, I would lay on the treatments and make things worse. Now, I don't do a lot of masking, exfoliating, or treating, and my skin looks and behaves *a lot* better.

| It takes a long time to see the results. Probably over half year, then you will feel differently. |

| I have tried and haven't noticed any difference. Find the scents a bit much for me too. |

| Is this safe to use on combo skin? Or sensitive? Cause I really like what people are saying about it and would love to try it, as I have a sample of it under my cupboard. |
