That’s so nice to put herself in danger of being bullied to help other people. I don’t have horrible acne but once in a while I get a big zit and it’s nice to know what to do.

As a teen, i never had acne (and probably took a little too much pride in that) and karma sent me a healthy dose of those under-the-skin, red welty zits that look almost like bugbites now that i’m in my 30s. i tried the Shielo Complexion Scrub at a friend’s house and really liked it. i am amazed at how quickly and thoroughly the regimen works to clear up my skin.

Literally, within 2 or 3 days of using the Shielo Complexion products, my skin had cleared up. two things to be aware of—1. follow the directions on the website and 2. don’t miss out on an evening/morning–i’ve found if i skip even one night i will have a bit of a breakout the next day. oh and one last thing—the company has great customer service; i emailed about a broken lid and a new one was on my doorstep two days later.

I had acne too.you should try going to the doctor.i had a medicine and now im acne-less..you should go see the doctor

i vote you come do my make up hahah im such a person who hates doing my make up but now that ive watched you i will do it like you now ! thank you!

i would just rather have clear skin than to have to put all that crap on my face

doesn’t everyone does? the thing is she doesn’t have clear skin, she gets bullied because of her acne. so obviously she found a solution that makes her happy, even though its a lot, it gets the result of have that look of a clear skin.
