I found something AMAZINGLY simple that is working well-head and shoulders

[zinc-man]

Hi---this is my first message and wanted to share my sucess in clearing my skin.

1. I use HEAD AND SHOULDERS shampoo as a cleanser (the zinc is supposed to be a strong anti-microbial agent)

2. 100 mg of zinc tablets/day
3. 400 iu vitamin E
4. 70 mg of chromium picolinate

I really think the Head and SHoulders has worked wonders--I'm about 50% clearer after about 1 month of using it. I like it because it has been more effective than any other treatment-after trying EVERYTHING--and its so cheap. One bottle lasts you forever.

I was just wondering if anyone else has tried this, and if so, if it has worked for them.

Please respond

if you look back at some old posts i said i used it and loved it. the zinc is great for your skin, and you can wash your hair and face at the same time, i havent used it in a while, but i think im going to start again.. I also use it on my body and it helped to clear my body acne.

I was just wondering about this today!

Head and shoulders has selenium in it as well, right? Isn't this supposed to help acne?

Yes-It does dry out my skin, but no more than your typical benzol-peroxide cleanser. To remedy the dryness, I find that applying the clear aloe-vera gel right after washing eliminates the dryness.

I'm havn't heard about the selenium issue, although I'll look into it, now that you mentioned it.

I also found that applying vitamin K gel (available at CVS) is working well to reduce redness, and accelerate healing. It also helps with dryness from head and shoulders.

With all this flury about what cleanser to use, I'm surprised more people havn't heard of the head and shoulders treatment. I noticed results in about a week.
