I just wanted to pass this info on. I sometimes have hormonal cystic Acne and small Acne pimples scattered on my face. I have tried so many different things and read about Ponds online. It works really well! What I do is cleanse my face with something else. Then I use witchhazel as a toner and then put Ponds Cold Cream on for the rest of the evening. Don't wash it off! Yes, it's greasy but when I wake up my skin has hardly any bumps. It's pretty cool. I know you aren't suppose to pick at your face BUT if you do the Acne comes out easier if you have ponds on. Wierd! I really suggest anyone with acne to try it. It's so cheap so why not. Here is to clear skin. Good luck!!!!

This is a reply to # 1,766,129Thanks for this, Brandi! I just bought some Ponds tonight and am giving it a whirl.
I'll post back with any new developments! ;-)- Re: Ponds Cold Cream is clearing up ... PheistyChick

This is a reply to # 1,784,746Thought I'd report back!
I've been using the Ponds for about five days now, and I can tell you that my Acne is almost 95% gone. My skin is evening out, and a nice added bonus is that a lot of my melasma spots (I'm of Italian heritage with darker, olive skin) have disappeared as well. I never would have believed that something as simple as dime store Ponds would have such amazing benefits.
I'm also using 10% sulfur ointment on the lesions I do have, and holy cats, I can't believe how quickly that stuff gets rid of active zits. I had a huge cystic bugger right above my lip (under a mole, of all things), and it had been seeping disgusting pus for a week. I happen to think I finally found the 'queen mite' and killed her. Anyway, I put some sulfur ointment on it a couple of times yesterday, and it is gone. Finito.
Also have to add that when I put on my M2 HP Skin refinish last night after not using it for nearly two weeks, it stung more than normal, and after a couple of minutes I looked in the mirror and found what looked like a worm lying on top of my skin. Weird. (M2 is a mandelic/malic AHA peel that I've been using for years.)
I could almost cry I'm so happy!! I may not have to use the FaceDoctor soap I purchased on Amazon. I did use it once last night, just because I thought that if I paid for it I should probably use it. I also took a Borax bath last night and scrubbed my body with a Tea Tree soap.
Oh, and I bought a new mattress cover, a protective sheet, new pillow cases, a waterproof/protective pillow cover and washed all of my bedding and recently-worn clothing in Borax on hot.
I want to make sure these nasty things are GONE!! :-)

This is a reply to # 1,785,921Oh I'm so happy for you! I am still using the ponds too and I purchased the Zhongzho cream and I'm on day 4. SO far I am breaking out worse but I think I had them pretty bad. We'll see. Ponds is awesome though! Also, read about olive leaf (herb). It is great for those mites too and you can kill them internally while you work on the external. Cheers to clear skin!!!

This is a reply to # 1,786,216Hey, Brandi! Thanks for your update and for the reminder about olive leaf. I've been eating raw garlic, but I'm sure my hubby would appreciate it if I wouldn't. Heheheh...
Anyway, I actually spoke too soon! I now have about seven or eight "Active" pimples on my face that just keep pushing gunk out. How deep do these little buggers burrow down into our skin? Do they dig tunnels and stuff? Good Lord.
Anyway, even though they don't seem to want to stop purging (which I think is a good thing?), my skin looks SO much better. My hubs even told me today that it looked so much more even and smoother...even with the zits. So I guess I can handle this...vanity and all.
One question for you...did you notice in pictures of yourself that your cheeks were puffy before you started trying to kill these things? Gosh, I just can't get over how much smaller my nose and cheeks look and feel already! Just makes me wonder how much of this gunk you can store in your subdermal layers. Eww.
Cheers to you too, hon! Going to go soak in Borax, now. LOL

- Staph Infection? Warning on overzea... PheistyChick

This is a reply to # 1,787,033Okay, so I got a little 'overzealous' with the mite-killing.
Got a mini boil/staph infection on my face (or at least, that's what I'm guessing it is/was). Thankfully, it's on it's way out, but it scared the jeepers out of me since I had a staph infection on my face right after I quit smoking and had to take major Antibiotics that screwed up my entire being for a couple of months. I have more of these anti-b's on-hand just in case, but I DID NOT want to have to take them.
Just a warning to everyone out there who are trying to kill their mites:
I think that if we try to kill them off too quickly, you may wind up with a staph infection. I know--from experience--how much you want these things gone, but don't overdo it. Please take your time and don't over load your face (or body) with too many/too strong mite-killing products.
Your skin needs time to get rid of all the dead mites. Please take your time and let your body purge the mites at its own pace.
It could be that I would have gotten the nasty boil anyway, but I know that I was going crazy with the tea tree, coconut oil, ponds, etc, etc...my guess is that I overdid it.
ALSO, I would strongly recommend to those that are killing their mites to be sure that you are supporting your immune system prior to the eradication. Thankfully, my immune system is strong and I was able to fend off any worse infection (and I pray that this continues to be the case), but to those with compromised immune systems, please take care. - More breakouts PheistyChick

This is a reply to # 1,787,033So I'm sorry for hijacking your thread, Brandi. It's sort of turned into a journal in my quest to kill these darn things.
So I must have gone down another layer in my skin or found another nest, because my left side under my jawline is breaking out. Weeks ago, it was below my ear on my jawline...the same kind of breakout...red bumps everywhere. Thankfully these aren't as bad, but gosh, I'm just so impatient. My forehead is also starting to break out again. Sigh.
My skin still does look much better, though. I had a waitress tell me today that I was "glowing". No kidding! So I guess I can deal with the zits for now. I just hope they go away soon. I'm finishing up my cycle, so I usually break out around this time of the month anyway, when my hormones start to go back to normal. Not sure why.
I've also noticed that the dark circles under my eyes are disappearing and my nose definitely looks smaller. It makes me know that I'm making progress, even if I have zits.
I'm still using the cold cream at night when I get home from work. I leave it on for about 45 minutes (after removing my makeup, of course) and then take it off. I've read places that I shouldn't wear makeup while trying to eradicate these buggers, but I'm just too vain and also have a job where I need to look professional. Makeup is unfortunately a necessity.
I wash out my makeup brushes in sulfur soap every night, and I also keep my mineral powder makeup in the freezer to kill any hitchhikers.
I have been using my M2 HP Skin Refinish 20% every night. This is a mandelic/malic peel. Some may say that this isn't a great idea, but I strongly believe that this is what got rid of my demodex infestation before. I got perfectly clear skin after using M2 for two months or so, and continued to have clear skin for over a year. I quit using it and my Acne returned within a few months of stopping.
Anyway, just an update. How are you progressing, Brandi?

This is a reply to # 1,791,077Hi Pheisty Chick!
My skin colring is looking better but I have breakouts on my jawline and neck area too. That is why I am also positive that it is mites. Disgusting, huh? I think these mites die off in cycles (10 days) and then you get the massive breakouts and then it clears up. Do you get a headache sometimes when you let the ponds stay on your skin? I cleanse it and then put the ponds on and I don't wash it off unitl the next day. My neck looks really icky right now. One thing I do is take Organic Sulfur internally to kill them from the inside out, too. It cleared up my hyperpigmentation in 5 months. It's crazy! I use sulfur soap on my skin but only once a week because it is so drying. I read about the staph infection. Sorry about that! I hope you are doing better now. Let's keep each other posted and get rid of this together! I'll let you know anything new I come up with and you let me know the same!!

This is a reply to # 1,791,871You too, eh? Gosh, it's just weird! I get these bumps that almost look like they're in a pattern under my jawline and onto my neck. Almost like "chicken skin". They're red but don't come to a head right away. They just itch like crazy.
YES! I do sometimes get a headache if I leave the Ponds on for awhile. I just chalk it up to the Sodium Borate in the ponds killing parasites, possibly in my blood. I don't think it's causing any harm. What do you think? I guess I've had die-off headaches and other herxheimer (sp?) effects before, and this to me seems like a die-off symptom rather than some harm I'm doing to my body. Do you feel the same way?
As for leaving the Ponds on all night, I've done that, as well. I don't think there's any harm in it.
It's interesting that you've been taking sulfur internally! I hadn't considered that. I can say that ever since I started putting 10% Sulfur Ointment on my face before putting my makeup on (the last four days or so), my complexion and the Acne has really improved a lot. Strangely enough, it isn't drying out my skin. Is that odd? From everything I've read, it's supposed to dry out your skin. I first apply coconut oil to my face, allow that to soak in, and then put a thin film of the yellow sulfur ointment all over my face (avoiding the eyes, of course. The only dryness I've experienced is on the zits themselves. They seem to heal faster and then just flake off without scarring. And yes, the sulfur must be attacking my hyperpigmentation, as well, because old scars are suddenly drying up and flaking off.
I'm starting to think that the sulfur oitment is doing more than just about anything else I'm using. Oh, and I'm taking Olive Leaf and acidophilus internally, to boost my immune system.
Yeah, the staph infection sucked (thanks for your concern!), but it's healing up nicely.
It's so nice that there's someone else out there who I can talk to about this!! Thanks, Brandi, and I hope everything is going well for you and that your jawline/neck heals up soon!!- Re: More breakouts PheistyChick

This is a reply to # 1,792,488Brandi,
Almost ten days to the dot I started breaking out again...all over my face, not any specific area. I'm sure that another batch has hatched and I'm dealing with cleaning up their carcasses again.
This is so difficult!!! And frustrating!!!

They're not HALF as bad as they were, that's for sure, and my skin looks better, but I'm just so tired of acne. Plus, the ones I do get seem to last for weeks which makes this whole process less tolerable.
But, we must persist. I do believe that we're nearing the end of our journey in killing these buggers. I can't wait to wear my hair up. My neck still looks kinda nasty.- Re: Question about black demodex leggybrandi

This is a reply to # 1,804,188Girl, I hear ya. 100% agree. My face looks horrible right now and my neck looks a tiny bit better than disgusting. It drives me crazy that these deep zits can just sit there and do nothing. I have arm and hammer toothpaste on my zits for god sakes hoping that they will dry up and dissappear. I would rub feces on my face right now if I knew that they would go away. LOL! I am a little hormonal right now but I feel your pain. I ordered the Unkers and now I am trying to figure out how to make them come to the surface or go away quicker. I have the "kiiling the mites part down" but then what? You kill them and they come up in your skin and do nothing but scar. Ponds isn't working fast enough anymore. I even put castor oil on my face last night....nothing. I have put mankuka honey on my face...nothing. I have put Bentonite clay on...nothing. Well, not nothing but more zits. I know I am overdoing it but I feel your pain girl because I am fed up. I am a pretty girl but I am getting a complex about this. Like, turning down events because I don't want people to see me. Sorry, I had to vent. I know our skin doesn't define us but I understand how people with Acne feel. It is not good and I welcome any suggestions on how to make my Acne go away for good naturally. When I find out I will spread the word to all...

This is a reply to # 1,804,223Avoid the toothpaste like the plague, honey! Flouride and SLS are two main ingredients in most commercial toothpaste and the mites feed off of both. I can't believe I forgot to mention this, but I quit all fluoride before I started my mite-killing spree. I also eliminated all SLS (Sodium Laureth Sulfates) in any cosmetics (mostly it's in shampoos and body washes). The mites literally thrive on these two things. (I'm such an idiot for not bringing this up before...I'm so sorry.) And find out if your tap water is fluorinated. That could be a HUGE reason why you're not seeing an improvement. If it is and if you can swing it, get a water softener or ask your landlord to do so (if you rent).
Luckily, I live in the boondocks and my town doesn't put fluoride in their water.
Also, it's difficult to find toothpaste that doesn't have Fluoride, but it's more difficult to find one that doesn't have SLS in it. I've been making my own toothpaste out of coconut oil, peppermint oil, and baking soda.
Right now my face has cleared up quite a bit but it's like I'm always waiting for it to flare up again. However, I can tell with every breakout that it is seeming to get better. I just wish I could avoid the scarring. And I hear you, I'm a pretty girl, too, but I have avoided certain social gatherings simply because I feel like I look like a pizza face. I know it isn't as bad as I think it is to other people, but it really bothers me. I'm 36 and have the skin of a 14 year old adolescent.
Another thing that I think I may have stumbled across...I believe that we need to kill the eggs, not just the adults, and I think that I may have found the thing to do just that: Clove Oil. I was reading about demodectic mange in dogs, and also human scabies, and apparently clove oil kills the larvae and eggs of both critters. I thought, "Well, why not try it on my face?" I already have every essential oil known to man in my possession, so I put two drops of clove oil in a tablespoon of coconut oil, mixed it up really well, and slathered it on my face. I won't know for about a week if it is killing the eggs or not, but I'll certainly let you know. OH! And I also saturate my face in Hydrogen Peroxide before I put anything 'mite killing' on my face. I think it just opens up your pores more so the stuff gets down into your skin. I could be wrong, but I think it works.
I also have been putting peppermint oil on my face, straight-up. It burns like hell but I'm hoping that means it'll kill these nasty things.
Also, have you purchased any sulfur ointment yet? It really does dry up the zits I do have...not so much "dry" them up, but it's like it pulls the pus and gunk out of them so they heal faster.
Yeah, the Bentonite doesn't work so well. I don't know why it doesn't. It seems to me that the stuff pulls everything else out of your body...why wouldn't it pull out mites and their eggs? Weird.
Hang in there, my sister. We'll get there. It's just gonna take a little longer than we'd like. XOXOXOXO

This is a reply to # 1,805,107...a homemade cold cream with Colloidal Silver , borax, jojoba oil, and local beeswax in it. It was fairly easy to make once I got all of the ingredients, except I had to shred and strain the beeswax because the bee farmer gave it to me raw in a large brick.
It's on my face right now, so we'll see how it works.
Brandi, how long have you been at this mite killing? I'm going on two months.
I'm wondering if my sudden increase in physical activity is maybe pushing more of them out? I'm running 3 miles a day and when I'm not doing that, it's yoga and/or P90X. I wasn't exercising at all up until two weeks ago, and it seems like that's when my neck really started breaking out again.
I've decided that I'm going to keep on through 3 months, but if I don't see any improvement after that, I'm going to go back to only using my M2 mandelic serum.- Re: Trying a new cold cream leggybrandi

This is a reply to # 1,807,484HA!!! Funny! We think alike.
Well, I just used it for the first time last night and this morning, but I've had a headache for most of the day. Not a bad one, just a lingering one. I'm wondering if the mix of CS and borax really killed them fast and I'm experiencing a herxheimer effect? My neck looked tons better this morning.
Maybe homemade cold cream is the way to go? Or maybe just switching things up a bit gave us that extra boost of mite-killing power? ;-)
You're such a sweetie for offering your special cold cream! I'll send you some of my CS stuff, too, if you'd like it. Sounds like you may not need it, though!

This is a reply to # 1,807,733YOU DO NOT HAVE DEMODEX MITES/PARASITES
I thought I was a suffered of Demodex Mites for 10 months.
Every day for 10 months I felt those "bugs" crawling and wiggling.
I spent about $2K buying creams to include Ponds Cold Cream, lotions, soaps, shampoos, going from doctor to doctor who either ignored me, or gave into my demands for Ivermectim.
I even purchased 10 boxes of Borax laundry detergent to bath in, tea tree oil, Colloidal Silver –I was desperate!!!! to no avail. I saw 4 Demonologist, 1 Neurologist, and 1 Immunologist without any success. I worried my Primary Cary Doctor so much that she gave into my demands for prescription to get rid of yeast which I thought the Demodex Mites were feeding on because I read it over the Internet……I was pitifull!!
My skin was a mess because I stopped using lotion because I read on the Internet that lotions were only feeding the “bugs”. My skin was so inflamed due to lack of moisture.
The "bugs" were still crawling on every part of my body to include my inside my ears, between my toes, scalp, under nail beds and rectum. My water and electric bills also increased because I was washing my clothes like a mad women....attempting to kill the "bugs". I even made contact with a person from either China or Japan selling potions on the Demodex Solution Website..spent a lot of money on that website for products that I DID NOT NEED!!
I finally saw a 5 Demonologist and he FINALLY told me the truth...what I was actually suffering from was CHEMICAL IMBALANCE OF THE BRAIN (DUE TO STRESS)which lead me to believe that I felt bugs crawling on me...especially at night.
I lost my hair. The was due to an extremely poor diet because I stopped eating and lost a lot of weight fast. I also was vitamin deficient.
ANYWAY..Since my order is over...I laugh at what I went through. And feel compelled to let other people know which I hope will also help them!!
When the 4 Demonologist told me it was all in my head, BUT gave me treatment or advise against the "bugs" anyway I did not believe them..
I thought it was some type of Insurance Conspiracy since there was not cure.. HOWEVER, WHEN THE 5TH DERMOTOLOGIST SAT ME DOWN FOR AN HOUR, TOOK HAIR SAMPLES WHERE HE FOUND NOTHING AND EXPLAIN THAT WHAT I HAVE WAS A CHEMCIAL IMBALANCE IN THE BRAIN...IT FREED ME ..GRADUALLY, IN ABOUT 3 DAYS I WAS COMPLETELY FREE OF THE "DERMODEX MITES".THEY NO LONGER EXISTED BECAUSE I KEPT REMINDING MYSELF IT WAS ONLY A REACTION THE THE CHEMICAL IMBALANCE IN MY BRAIN--WHICH I DID NOT TAKE ANY MEDICATION FOR ...I AM FREE FROM MY MIND.
I saw my Primary Care physcian the other day and she said she didn't want to tell me it was in my mind becasue she did not want to hurt my feelings...I spent 10 months and $2K for a condition I did not have becasue doctors did not want to hurt my feelings..

It has been awhile since we chatted about our Acne issues. I wanted to tell you what I have done to clear my Acne about 85 percent since we talked. I did a Hair Mineral Analysis and found out I have adrenal issues and started taking an adrenal glandular along with mineral balancing and my Acne is almost gone.

This is a reply to # 1,766,129I really appreciate this info. Thank you! BTW, I found this article through Google. I hope you and others here find it helpful:
Do Acne Scar Creams Really Work?
If you are reading this article, then I am sure that you have got several terrible Acne blemishes on your face, and also that you would like to get rid of those scars as fast as possible. Now, I certainly hope you did not come here hoping for a one-day miracle cure, because, as far as I know, none exists! I also believe that you are looking for an Acne scar cream, preferably something that is 100% natural. Well in this article I will tell you whether acne scar creams really work or not!
Granted, there are tons of acne scar removal treatments available, but many people believe that if you want to get rid of scars completely and permanently, then laser surgery is your only way out. Unfortunately, not everyone can go for it; I mean, you cannot opt for a laser surgery unless your doctor offers you proper clearance. Apart from that, it is extremely expensive and not suitable for everyone's pocket. As if that was not enough, you also need to worry about its after-affects; a lot of people continue to suffer from surgery-related side-effects long after they have taken their leave from the surgery table. Mostly importantly, you would need to take a long absence leave from your office, as you would want to offer your body enough time to recover from the surgery.
The other extreme is that you use natural fruits and vegetables for your acne scar removal treatment. You can say, use lemon juice, oatmeal powder, apple cider vinegar, aloe vera gel, etc., to get rid of acne scars. Unfortunately, it is easier said than done! These natural treatments take a long time to offer you the desired results: that is, only if you are consistent with the treatment! The other thing you need to worry about is time: you either need to have enough time to make the medicines yourself at home, or enough money to buy the respective supplements from outside. Then again, not all supplements are equally effective!
In between these two extremes fall the acne blemish creams. Acne scar creams offer you quicker results than say, the 'lemon juice' treatment. Now I don’t know about you, but I am both lazy and short on time, so these creams fit my bill perfectly. They are also quite affordable, and rarely come with any side-effects, because they are mostly made from natural substances! If you are like me and want something to help you get rid of your acne blemishes in the comfort and privacy of your home, there is no better alternative to acne blemish removal creams!
Of course, just like anything else, not all acne scar creams are created equal, which is why you must research all the acne cream products meticulously before choosing the best one for yourself. There are lots of brands: all promising you the moon, all claiming to offer you instant results, but not all of these creams are effective. If you don’t do your research, you would be wasting months upon months in hopeless trial and error and eventually become disappointed! So, whenever you want a good acne scar removal cream for yourself, do your research diligently, then find that one that has worked for a lot of people; chances are that, if you have similar scars, then that product might work for you too! Good luck!
