Clear Skin Without Cleansers? |

|
Is it really possible to get clear skin without using cleansers?
Most people will probably tell you no. However, chances are that
if you look at a lot of the people you know with clear skin,
you'll find that many of them do not have to use cleansers. In
fact, a lot of people with clear skin seldom do more than rinse
their face with water. Maybe all those cleansers you're using to
try and fight acne are not really the answer.
A few years ago I was living in the dorms at my college, trying
everything to win the battle against acne that had plagued me
for so long. I'm a guy, but my list of skin care products was
well beyond what most girls I knew possessed. I had a full
selection of acne
products, including antibacterial soaps, creams, wipes,
toners, pore cleansers, and more. I treated my face at least
three times per day with the system I developed, and managed to
keep my acne from getting too horrible, although it was never
really gone. The worst were the large cystic lumps that would
occasionally pop up, and nothing really worked against them.
What would drive me crazy was that while I slaved away at trying
to keep my face halfway presentable, my roommate who barely
washed his face always had clear skin! There were people |

would make baboons cringe!
Even back in high school, I remembered staring into the mirror
while washing my face with a three-step system and wondering:
"does anybody else really have to do this?" There had to be a
better way.
Determined to find a real, long-term clear skin solution, I
turned to the source of all random knowledge and gossip: the
internet.
Visiting acne message boards, I found plenty of unorthodox
treatments, but a lot of them sounded too much like the
temporary fixes I had already been using. The only one that
really stood out was vitamin B5.
The testimony I had heard from B5 users sounded almost too good
to be true, and the fact that these people were talking about a
generic vitamin rather than a name brand product made the
testimony that much more interesting. The doses required were
large, but since the vitamin was water-soluble and had no side
effects, I decided it was worth the trouble. My father also
happens to be a doctor, and he confirmed that B5 was harmless
before I started using it.
My results were fast, and different from any acne treatment I
had used before. After four days, my face began to feel less
oily and I noticed the redness in |
