If I would have known, I would have tried facial oils and the OCM a lot earlier than I did. I always shied away from them since I've battled acne and rosacea for a lot of my life.

I found success with Kiehl's Midnight Recovery--makes my skin look fabulous! Then I discovered how well the OCM took care of blackheads and clogged pores. I had to modify the OCM somewhat from the "original" version to come up with the best blend and regimen for my skin. I do wish had discovered it a lot sooner!


Snowshoe,

What's your modification of OCM? Thanks!

Yes, snowshoe, pray do tell Very Happy I've tried OCM more times than I can count, but I've never been able to get it to work for me.

If I posted all the products I have used and all the incredible amount of money spent, most of you would be so shocked it would not even be funny!

After battling skin issues for the last 15 years, as adult acne and rosacea, doing the whole holistic lifestyle thing which does make a HUGE difference, I still struggle with my skin.

So, I have used a LOT of products, all professional and very high quality.

I wish I started using Luzern products way back in the day, because they are really gentle and target exactly what is going on with the skin. I made the mistake of using very strong products, like high dose vitamin C serums, vitamin A, different forms of retinal and retinal A, as well as exfoliating products, which in the long run actually aggravated my skin condition and prolonged it.

Using gentle products, my skin can return to normal and be much healthier.

Definitely Cellcosmet and Valmont. I am still making up my mind which is the best but if I had stayed with these and not experimented, I am convinced my skin would be better.

Could you clarify what you mean by avoiding steroids? They saved my life, I'm not sure we should be avoiding when prescribed..
