I successfully have used a product called Epionce to control the oil production in my skin.The results have been quite amazing and they have a true clinical study that proves their lytic products to work more effectively than 10% benxoly peroxide http://www.epionce.com/docs/Lytic3.doc.pdf
By N2skin on 10/29/08 at 9:58 amI have used a myriad of products over the years that have left my skin raw. Now I have healthy looking skin, thanks to the new paradigm behind Epionce, which focuses on repairing and strengthening the skin’s barrier, and delivering ingredients that are therapeutically and scientifically proven through the top layer of skin to effect a change. Works for me!
i have to try that…i usually use organic spot cream..when i use b. peroxide my skin gets dry and flaky..then i have to use a skin oil. I usually use NATALIE skin oil treatment. its organic and not that expensive…especially in todays economy…
