Acne Free Area

D. Huffman:

This product contains two things, as stated on the package. Pills, and a cream.

The creme contains a 5% Benzoyl Peroxide mixture, which is similar, if not exactly like, about 50% of all acne treatments. Acne treatments work using either a 2.5%, 5.0%, or 10% Benzoyl Peroxide mix, or, a Salicylic Acid mix. BP works by directly killing acne bacteria and increasing skin turnover rate, which means the pores get clogged less. Salicylic acid works by actively removing epidermis cells, which again decreases clogging of pores, as well as decreasing inflammation, since Acetylsalicylic acid is what we call Aspirin, and decreases pain and inflammation.

Basically, either of those two ingredients work for scientific reasons. The cream included in the Natures Cure package contains an ingredient that works, period.

The pills however, are pure insanity. Homeopathic medicine is probably the biggest medicinal fraud on Earth, even more so than magnetic bracelets or thinking that getting sick is caused by “bad blood,” as was thought hundreds of years ago.

For those that don’t know what it is, homeopathy states that to cure something, you have to introduce into the body something that produces similar ailments. If you have a headache, you should take something that gives you a headache. So they test things. Does taking arsenic give you a headache? It does? Then you’d better take some of that. Sound crazy? You don’t know the half of it. Homeopathics think that in order for the like+like=cured effect to take place, the item must be diluted. This is what those “12x” and “30x” numbers mean. Here’s how dilution works for them:

If you take one part of an item, say…”Echinacea angustifolia (cone flower)” as is in these pills, and mix it with 9 parts water, you will have Echinacea angustifolia (cone flower) 1x. Now take one part of that mixture and mix it with 9 parts water. This is 2x. At this point, there is 1 part of the original ingredient and 99 parts water. Do it again, 3x. And again, 4x. So on. We get to Echinacea angustifolia (cone flower) 12x, which is what these pills contain. If you know math, then you have already figured out that this is 1 part Cone Flower to 10,000,000,000,000 parts water. That’s 10 trillion parts water.

10 TRILLION parts water, 1 part cone flower. If they started with tablespoons, as in, 1 tablespoon cone flower and 9 tablespoons water, you would now have 1 tablespoon of cone flower in 39,062,500,000 gallons of water. This is almost as much water as the ENTIRE United States uses every day. Sprinklers, drinking water, toilets, everything across the country. If we took all that water and put a tablespoon of cone flower in it, how big of a difference would it make?

Now here’s the big thing. At around 23-26x, it is doubtful that your current “1 part of the previous mix with 9 parts water concoction” would contain even a single molecule from the original. Every time you mix again, you reduce that chance by 90%. Now look at the ingredients to the pills. “Hepar Sulfuris Calcareum (calcium sulfide) 24x, Carbo Vegetabilis (vegetable carbon) 30x, Cimifuga racemosa (black cohosh) 30x, Graphites (graphite) 30x.” I would be willing to bet all the money I’d ever make in my life that these pills do not contain an ATOM of the ingredients listed here.

Don’t be fooled. Like one customer said, the pills tasted like nothing. Guess why?

You can buy similar creams for $2. Homeopathic medicine is trash and this product is as well.

I’m a woman in my early 40s…I started breaking out in my 20s and 30s and could never figure out how to get the breakouts to stop! Mine were definitely hormone-related, i.e., I always seemed to breakout around my time of the month. I’ve been on the pill; that helped to an extent. But not enough–and I’ve been off it a few years now. I do have to add that I switched from liquid drug-store make-up to mineral make-up, and that has helped tremendously. However, I was still breaking out on occassion, and it was unsightly and embarrassing. I tried Pro-activ with great hope, but the product didn’t work. I tried other acne kits (mostly from Walmart), such as Neutrogena (I usually love their products), but nothing worked. I even used a sample of a prescription product, but no change. Then, I saw Nature’s Cure on the shelf. I figured, what the heck, I’ve tried everything else, and for under $10, it was worth a shot.

The acne cream can be a bit irritating to your skin at first–I even got a small, dry, peeling area on my chin from it. But, I started using it less often and that helped. I now use it as needed, and can use it often, as my skin has seemed to have “gotten used to it.” And the pills–WONDERFUL!! These pills have no side effects, and my skin looks great because of them. If I even get a pimple, it’s usually small and clears up quickly. I rarely see breakouts anymore, and if I do, they’re not much (just up the use of the cream). My skin feels smoother and seems healthier. I absolutely LOVE this stuff! So here I am, ordering it from Amazon, because now I can’t find it anywhere! Sometimes Rite-Aid will have it, sometimes not. Walmart doesn’t carry it anymore. I don’t know why. Maybe not enough people are giving this product a shot….and they really should. There is nothing more frustrating than having to go on a quest for a product that you love and know works well. And with the cost of Nature’s Cure, I can’t think of anything more perfect than effectiveness combined with value. I’ll be a customer for life, as long as I can find it!

I have used this product for awhile and I love it. I tried so many other things such as proactive, accutane, and other doctor prescribed acne medicines and nothing has worked. I do not use the cream part of Natures Cure but I do use the pills. I like them because they are tasteless and you don’t have to take them at the exact same time each day, and if you forget one… it’so okay. I have reccomended this product to several other people who have also had success with it. It is not a product that you can expect to see results over night from, but give it a month or so and you might be surprised. The down fall to this product for me, is that if I stop using it for a few months my acne comes back but, $10/month is a low price to pay for confidence. So, if you’re one of those people who can’t find anything to cure acne or reduce it’s severity I would definitely try natures cure… and don’t worry about the cream, I would suggest only using it if you absolutely need to. Natures cure also makes a face wash system which works great paired with the pills but, it is not a necessity.
