"Some people suggest better results after wiping their faces with alcohol before use, does anyone do this and has it helped?"

I have used rubbing alcohol, and witch hazel. Both cut the oil. It depends on your skin and how dry it is. I prefer the witch hazel.

If its your first time doing it make sure you moisturize well for the wk before. The day of font use alcohol. Do it on a clean face and continue to moisterize afterwards. You can add it to you favorite face wash too. Add a few cap fulls to scrub and wash with it everyday! You can also add salicylic acid to you moisturizer to help improve skin. Also google the 7 things you need to improve your skin. Retina, dmae, ala, and so on..

Thanks D. Riley. I was going to swab with alcohol, but I think I'll follow your suggestion instead. Thanks again!!!!Sassy

Yes, but make sure to build a good lather in the cloth before scrubbing the face. It'll make the exfoliation process easier and it will feel better and probably work better. It's probably not ideal for skin that is sensitive or acne-prone.

Hello,I've been using this brand of flushes for a while as I have a PICC Line and need to flush my lines daily. I always take an alcohol swab and clean the head a bit just as a precaution. I also apply the flush directly to a dressing or when necessary to clean a wound.

I usually use it after I cleansed my face w/ hypoallergenic facial creme. Make sure that you wipe w/ alcohol before and after use. There's no instruction on the frequency of the use, but w/ me, when I have a zit, I use it almost every night and its really effective.

Assuming my skin is cleansed I am using a product called FACEZ Scrubz and it exfoliates...try it you might like it.

Personally, I feel the need to use something after I remove my make-up with the Bioderma. It might be overkill, but I use a face wash too. However, I have heard from others that they rely on this solution alone to cleanse the face. It has no soap or oil so, I do not see why not. But, it is a personal preference. I have three bottles in my bathroom as I do not want to be without it.

I think that just depends on your skin. I use this daily on my face, after applying a mix of dampened baking soda (followed by) apple cider vinegar, which seems to soften the skin (as opposed to using after just water or some other kind of facial/body cleanser). It has improved my skin quality on my face.

I never tried that, but I would think it would get rid of spots and smudges, and afterwards, probably a light wipe would be needed. Hope someone has tried it and can tell you for sure.

It burned the *expletive deleted* out of my face after about a minute. I left it in probably for about 3 minutes before I used baking soda to neutralize it. I would say do a test on your neck or something first because it was not my first peel I knew what to expect. What I do now is I only put it on areas that are uneven in tone or that have pimples and leave it for the full time (about 8-10 min) or as long as I can stand it LOL and then neutralize it. Follow up with a moisturizer for your skin type (I use pure argan oil from Morocco) and you're good to go! It is a pretty decent peel even if it burns a bit and it doesn't quite PEEL peel but you'll notice your skins clarity improves. Hope this helped!

If it gets worse, you probably need to clean your face with peroxide after washing to control the bacteria on your skin as well.

Hi Jane,Thanks for your suggestions. Well, about detox with this tea, am not quite sure, may be everyone reacts differently to it. It din't work out for me either. My whole face was covered with acne it was just horrible, really horrible. Along with that I also got some itchy rashes over my arms and legs too. The acne and rashes both improved after I stopped the tea.No more detoxing stuff for me I guess, was quite an experiment. Take care.

I just used a warm wash cloth in the mornings. At night I use Olay Facial Cleanser. Nancy

It's hard for me to say because I've used a couple of products at the same time. I can say that I really like this product. My skin felt smoother after using. A home remedy that I have been doing is similar and cheaper if you want to try first. I put baking soda in the palm of my hand and add just a couple small drops of water until its like a paste and then massage into my face for a couple of minutes. Let it sit for a couple minutes then rinse with cool water.

Yes, I actually have to do this because my skin is too sensitive and I cannot stand the burn! It is not as effective this way, but it does work. I actually also do one "zone" of my face at a time for the same reason. Next time I will get a weaker solution, but for now I do what I can!
