I would like to say you are doing spectacular work and it's a breath of fresh air to find a company that have experience within this subject and take the time to offer advice; it's a real personal touch. I look forward to using your products and will be sure to recommend your website to others.

Well at first, I was close to giving up on my battle to acne. I was simply prepared to just try and "outgrow" it, and suffer the next few years as a consequence.

So I had searched throughout the internet for any possible solution. Surely, there had to be something. I then stumbled upon www.acne-advice.com. I began following the tips set out in the website. I then felt I needed to order Karen's book, as I thought this would go into heaps of details, and perhaps expand on the stuff said in the website. It was only when I ordered the book that I permanently put all the steps to getting rid of acne into play.

Thank you for this absolutely priceless information.

You have helped me so much. Finally, I can look into the mirror again. Finally, I love being in photographs again. I love going out. I love dating. I love my new found confidence. Goodbye to those painful years of having acne.

Finally, I am free again.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for this website! I've now realsied why I am geting spots - before my diet consisted of all the 'bad for skin' foods. I've totally turned my diet around and my skin is starting to clear after a month. I feel better,I love excercising (even though I'm naturally slim), my nails are growing - Ii love it! Can't thank you enough.

Oh. My. God. I checked your website after reading an article about it in Red magazine (268KB JPG), and despite thinking that I already followed a healthy diet, I followed your one month skin savers plan, replacing wheat products with brown rice, and eliminating dairy altogether. After three weeks no change at all. Then suddenly - yay!!! Not only did my acne almost disappear (am still getting the odd small spot, but nothing as bad as before), it also started to *glow*, in a way it hasn't done for years. Thank you so, so much. I can't believe it. Acne has troubled me and dented my confidence for years. I've spent a fortune on various therapies on it ... totally neglecting to consider the role of diet. You've helped changed my life. :- )

Hello - just a brief note of support for the work you are doing with this site (which I read about in Red magazine (268KB JPG) today). I am 42 and consequently regarding my skin in a different light these days (a soft one by choice!) But for many years my story was very, very similar to the outline you have given of yours. (And yes, I still feel naked without foundation - the joy of discovering Shieido compacts in my 20s! Now replaced by Clarins, but still with that power to transform!) At the time it was at its worst, I promised myself I would "do something"; when I got older, but have yet to honour that promise.

What you are doing, however, must feel like the hand of friendship to the many people driven to despair by the "enemy within". The fact that you look splendid these days will help them too.

With three cheers and warm wishes,

I have suffered from acne for over 20 years. After yet another trip to the doctor and a threat of referal to a dermatologist, I decided to find a more natural approach to healing my skin. A magazine article on the pros and cons of accutane had thankfully scared me off. I had already found tea tree products to be very effective and my diet was relatively healthy, but your book contained lots of extra good advice.

Comvita Skinclear cream is so soothing and Nutritone has greatly improved the texture and tone of my skin, badly weakened by years of acne and harsh products. Acne has severely dented my confidence over the years, but this website has been the start to a new life. I can't thank you enough.

I have just discovered this website after typing in "detoxing" in google. I spoke to my friend the other day who is a beauty therapist and she told me that my body is crying out for a detox. I am 17 years old and suffer from acne. I don't get too many large spots, but I have a lot of white dots under my skin which will not come out and I believe this is because of my poor diet which is full of processed foods and bad fatty foods. I am going to go on the 2 day detox and when I feel ready I will do the 7 day plan. Thank you so much, this website is the most useful website I've ever come across!

This is the most comprehensive web site about acne I have seen on the internet (out of 1000s!!). The advice is excellent and most of which I already do (especially with regards diet), I found the skin care advice most useful and interesting, confirming what I have thought for a long time, that the harsh chemicals often prescribed by GPs/dermatologists are often unsuccessful and not the answer (in my case made worse, severely damaging/hypersensitising my acne/sensitive skin. My skin was totally unable to tolerate these harsh products. I find your holistic approach to treating this problem makes such sense. I will highly recommend this website and look forward to receiving my products.

To whomever created this site, thank you so, so much. I am 16 and I have acne like crazy!!!! By reading all the tips on your site, my face did a dramatic change for the better. Like you said, stay away from milk, bread, fried food, etc. I drink at least four big glasses of milk a day, I'm Italian so we eat bread and noodles all the time with lamb and meat. I seriously tried over 20 acne products. One did a little bit of help but it was hundreds of dollars and we don't have the money for that kind of stuff. So just by reading your articles on your site, my face cleared up I was asked to homecoming and I am more confident. I really don't know how to thank you.

I think your website is just fantastic! Filled with so much useful information. I've since started to make some changes to my diet based on your suggestions and already feel healthier! Thanks.

Just a quick note to tell you how much I appreciate the honest, clear, helpful advise your website holds. This is the first website I have been to that feel I can trust and is not trying to sell me things I feel doubtful about. Some of the tips included in the website I know to be true, because I have experienced their benefits first hand. Diet DOES have a lot to do with overall health and of course that includes skin, despite the fact that doctors try to claim otherwise.

I have ordered the clear skin book as well as shazzie's book of recipes. I can't wait to read them and take advantage of all they have to offer.

Thank you so much!!!

I LOVE your website! It's really showed me how to take more care of my skin. So I am going to start to eating healthier, exercising more, and washing my face with natural substances and hopefully my acne on my face will clear up.

The book came in today and I was able to read through it this afternoon. I wanted to personally thank you for the information you've compiled into this guide. After years of antibiotic use and the side effects, I thought I was not repairable. I'm 24 and can't believe what horrible things I've learned about my antibiotic usage and accutain rounds have done to my body.

Three weeks ago, your book and site inspired me to stop the antibiotics and look further into some of the other things going wrong in my body. I've learned so much about probiotics and natural healing. I started the probiotics two weeks ago and now I'm able to incorporate your information and hopefully heal my skin and the rest of my body.

Again, thank you so much for the book. As of tomorrow I'll be milk and dairy free!

I'm enjoying the diet. It's not too different or hard to follow. I loved going to The Body Shop; I'd never gone in there before now. My skin responded really well to the steam and Blue Corn mask treatment. Thank you very much for your suggestions and leadership with this new lifestyle.

A while back I was following the Acne Advice website and doing great. Then I came across another website to do with diet and acne and I followed the rules so strictly, and my skin got worse than it's ever been before. So I've decided to go back to how I was eating before, and I'm sure each individual with acne should experiment with his/her diet because "people are different". Anyway keep up with the great website, I'm just waiting so I can buy the book, I didn't realise it was only £7 or something, otherwise I would have bought it ages ago, cheers!

Thanks for the great info. After following your advice for a week, I can see a marked difference in the texture of my skin. I wish your site was available when I was younger. Thank you.

This website is the best! My skin has been like a roller coaster ride since I was 14. Sometimes my acne is mild, sometimes moderate, and other times severe. I went to the dermatologist and in 2 minutes he prescribed me pills and two burning topical creams. It didn't make ANY difference at all (except that my skin started peeling and producing more oil). Back in early July I decided to try some of the advice on this site. I was depressed cuz my skin was so badly broken out and I'm leaving for college so soon. Amazingly, I have already noticed significant results! The only thing left of my acne is a few red scars and a couple small bumps! Thanks to this site I can have an enjoyable college experience just like my friends without acne! THANK YOU!

Hi! I am just browsing your site...it looks like you know what you are talking about! I am 16 and have had severe acne on my back, face and chest since I was 11. Its emotionally hard for me to accept it and my diet is that of your site. I am always looking for more help. I wonder if this site will do it for me! Who knows...but thank you for taking time to help us all. God Bless!

All in all I was surprised at the foods I had eaten which Ii never realised could be so bad only really thinking chocolate and sweet things were bad I didn't even think about wheat and gluten but cutting these things out has really inproved my skin which really makes a difference. To see a difference in my skin has only taken 5 weeks. This has really surprised me with just changing my diet has really improved my skin taking antibiotics just isn't the answer to this problem as I have also found out. I just want to really thank you for these very helpful suggestions they really have made a difference.

I ordered a copy of your booklet online. I've read a lot of info on acne and skin disorders in the past few months and yours seems to make the most sense. It is very similar to traditional chinese medicine and ayurvedic theories-- that most of our ailments are the cause of stress, environment, and diet. I will read the booklet and return some feedback. Best of luck to your organization. Is it gaining recognition in the U.S. My roommates also suffer from moderate acne. I will pass the word on to them as well.

I'm just writing to say THANK YOU so much! for your website. I happened upon it today and find it to be amazingly terrific. I started getting acne at age 11 and stll have it at age 33! That's 22 years! I am bitter about being told I'd grow out of it.

And I have discovered many of the things on your website for myself, already....but not all of them! And this is the SINGLE BEST SOURCE OF ACNE ADVICE I've ever seen in my life.

Since I'm already doing many of the things you describe, it's not going to change my life but it does feel WONDERFUL to know that others out there have been coming to the same conclusions as I have in their lives.

It's a wonderful service to the public that you're providing. Acne scars are more than on the surface of the skin. And I know people are being/will be helped tremendously by your site.

Peace~

This website is a Godsend. It has been immensely helpful in finding alternative therapies and treatments to acne instead of overmedicating the skin.

dearest karen,

thanks so much for your reply. like the fact that acne-advice .com is so attractive to look at, and so user friendly, not the usual clinical overloaded looking sites ive come across in the past. will try the lavender and almond oil thing.

Interesting and well presented. I am middle-aged and suffer on-going acne problems. Have also seen many dermogologists. Always the same...antibiotics and a cream. The condition improves, but I believe one soon becomes immune to the creams. The antibiotics, to which you refer, cause many side effects. My diet is exceptional as I LOVE fresh fruits and vegetables. I notice from your recipes, though, that more citrus, i.e. lemon, lime is required. I am lacking on these. I do my own salads each night, but I shall look forward to using your recipes. Very enticing! Starting this summer I eat an avocado nearly every day. I do think this has helped somewhat. Before, I wrongly thought of avocados as 'bad'. Too much fat. Wrong! This is good fat, as is virgin olive oil. Thank you for a very good website and helpful to us acne people.

Just a quick note say that your website is a wealth of knowledge. Thank you so much. I'm 22 and have had mild to severe acne since I was 10 years old. I've seen countless doctors that are indifferent and rude about my request for a treatment that actually works and doesn't involve harsh drugs like acutane (which was one of the most depressing experiences of my life, especially when it yielded no longterm results). As far as any of my physicians are concerned it is necessary to be constantly medicated. I thought that my most recent doctor was different until she turned into a pushy saleswoman over facial peels that were painful and expensive. It has been a frustrating journey to reach this point. I'm ecstatic about the prospect of never having another embarassing conversation about my skin with an unsympathetic doctor.

Again, my sincerest gratitude for this information. It's such a fantastic discovery.
