I had my first case of severe adult acne when I was 21. Over the years I have been able to manage it, but have never had completely clear skin; I would regularly have break outs that would take forever to go away. Last year at the age of 28 I had another severe break out of Adult Acne. This time was much worse, my face was literally being taken over by acne, no amount of make up was able to hide what was forming on my face. It got so bad that I ended up with a staph infection on my chin. I had seen a dermatologist who had one cure for me a 6-8 month treatment of roaccutane. I was not keen on this; I had seen what it had done to people and was not prepared to do that to myself. A friend of mine had told me about The Clear Skin Clinic, at first I was skeptical, as I had been to so many places and been told my skin will be fixed with a $1000 package, I had already spent so much money on laser treatment, light therapy anything that said it cured acne I had tried it. My first appointment with Dee, I took in all my products I was currently using and let me tell you it was not a small bag. Dee spent some time with me explaining what was happening with my skin and what I had been doing to it by using all these products. She explained to me that the treatment she could give me was not going to be easy. I think I cried for the whole hour of my first steam and squeeze. But the results were worth the pain. I committed to Dee's treatments, having 2 steam and squeeze facials a week and within 5 weeks my skin was flat and smooth again, I still had some scarring so opted to have a Green peel done by Dee. The results after my 5 day peel were amazing, my skin was almost perfect again, I still have a few minor scars, but they are hardly noticeable. I am using all the products recommend to me by Dee. I absolutely love the foundation. My morning make up application has gone from about half an hour to 10 minutes. I highly recommend The Clear Skin Clinic, the girls there are all lovely and I don't know where I would be right now if I had not come across this place. I will be forever thankful for everything Dee and her girls have done for me.
