I'm much too old to be just starting puberty so I'm completely confused. I have been known to sleep with my makeup on at night but this happened in a matter of hours. There were about 10-15 acne spots on each cheek. This was right after exam week had finished so it may have been due to my lack of sleep. I used clearasil and then switched over to clean and clear with benzyl peroxide which has been working. BUT...Today I noticed a small bump starting to form on the side of my cheek and it's started again...literally NOW. I have no clue what to do and it's only been about a week, tops since this has started. PLEASE HELP. I have never had an actual “break out”in my life.

I don't know for sure if the raw state was difficult on my digestive system or if the type of sugar was not well tolerated by my body. It's been such a hugh relief as I have been vegetarian most of my life and never had clear skin. We need to re-evaluate the pros of consuming lots of fruits, it just does not work for everyone. Maybe for strong meat eaters whose ancestors subsited on meats as well? Mine were vegetarians. I have stopped eating fruits and my acne cleared.

I started using Metamorphosis by JolieMD a few months back and within weeks my skin was less oily, breakouts were less frequent and I could see hyper-pigmented spots lighted and disappear! Some even fell off, literally the skin had a scab and would just come off to reveal even toned skin underneath. I had to take a break from the product (due to financial issues) and the results remain. Spots continued to lighten, my skin is definitely less oily and my breakouts are far in between and less noticeable. This is coming from someone who has tried every product for African American skin and had "full coverage" makeup possible. This is truly the only product that ended in results. I am a lifelong fan. @ Sheree I am going to try it on other areas as well.

I thought I had to live with adult acne and scarring. My zits were so bad they turned cystic. I wore Mac concealer and studio fix (very heavy) to even my skin. After several months on Jolie MD, I hardly ever wear any make up. My skin is blemish free and clear. I even use the product on my elbows, armpits and bikini line for even color.
