Best Acne Supplements for Adults and Teens - Vitamins for Acne, pimples, blackheads, Oily Skin - Skinphoria Natural Skin Clarifying Supplement by Health Kandy - Made in USA, Vegan 1 Month Supply

I want to start out by saying that it took me some time to convince myself to buy this product. I’ve had acne for as long as I can remember… since my early teenage years… and like most others purchasing Skinphoria, I’ve tried basically every single acne product advertised or recommended to me, short of accutane. I also live a totally healthy lifestyle. I am vegetarian, I drink a lot of water, I exercise, I get enough sleep, I don’t wear heavy makeup, I rarely drink alcohol, I rarely consume dairy products, I wash my face twice a day… but I couldn’t figure out what the heck was wrong with my skin. What I like about Skinphoria is that their customer service is EXCELLENT. I read the instructions about the flush but what I experienced seemed a lot milder than what I expected would happen (especially after reading some of these reviews about burning and extreme redness). I reached out to Health Kandy’s corporate email and they were able to explain to me that the flush is different for everyone and that the vasodilation is still occurring underneath the skin. They gave me some tips in order to get the most benefit out of this product and said that if for any reason I would be unsatisfied with the supplements, I would be able to get a full refund. Wow. I did not expect that. A company that actually backs the EFFECTIVENESS of their product… and if it doesn’t work, nothing lost! I would have posted a 5-star review just for the customer service! I’m glad I gave it a try because after a couple of weeks…tah dahhh! I started to see a dramatic improvement in my skin! I want to repeat that as long as I could remember, I had acne. Cycstic, hormonal, small pimples, large pimples, blackheads, large pores.. you name it. I started thinking that this might be too good to be true. Nope! Over a month later and I’m still seeing huge improvement! I just ordered my 3rd bottle and have recently started doing some research on why this is simply works. A blog on their website explains the ingredients: Chromium: Some call it a "miracle cure" for acne, some call it "chromium picolinate." Chromium is a mineral that regulates insulin and blood sugar level, lowers cholesterol, balances hormones, improves immune function and provides anti-inflammatory relief. A healthy supplementation of chromium is approximately 200 mcg per day. It has also been proven and published that chromium works to alleviate skin of rashes and other irritations if taken in recommended daily doses. Inflamed skin is unhealthy skin, which triggers your body’s production of lubricants (sebum) to sooth the skin, which in turn clogs the pores. Chromium steps in to break that cycle, and individuals who begin taking chromium supplements will notice a marked decrease in not just their acne, but in the rapid – and unhealthy – fluctuation of their blood sugar levels. Niacin: Consistently rated 5/5 stars on Acne.org, niacin, also known a vitamin B3, is a more recently discovered remedy to treat acne. Niacin is often used in detoxification programs to remove toxins throughout the body. It improves blood flow through vasodilation, expanding blood capillaries in your body and resulting in a niacin “flush”. This is where the skin may appear to be flushed as blood is closer to the surface. Oil glands are swept clean and toxins are eliminated through this process, including bad bacteria which may be trapped below the skin’s surface. Do not be alarmed by the niacin flush. It is completely safe and harmless. You will feel that you skin is hot, tingly and itchy for approximately 30 minutes (sometimes lasting up to 2 hours in extreme cases). The longer you take niacin consistently, the less severe your flush will become. Studies have shown that taking 500 mg of niacin per day, dramatically improves the condition of acne prone skin. Zinc: While zinc alone isn’t a magical cure-all for acne, it turns out that many acne sufferers are deficient in it. Zinc Glycinate is one of the most bio-available forms of the mineral, zinc, and is therefor most easily absorbed by the body. You want to get between 15 and 30 milligrams of zinc per day in total, so the amount you supplement might depend somewhat on your diet. For most people who need it, supplementing with 10-15 mg of zinc per day is ideal. The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of zinc help reduce oil production naturally. Also, a recent study found that zinc facilitates apoptosis, or programmed cell death, which is a natural part of your skin renewing itself. If apoptosis is delayed, as in the case of zinc deficiency, skin cells stick together instead of dying and being eliminated like they should, which leads to clogged pores. L-Lysine: L-lysine and clearing acne go hand in hand. L-lysine is the bioactive, supplemental form of lysine, an essential amino acid of which your body is incapable of manufacturing its own supply. Lysine is the third amino acid which is vital for collagen formation, alongside proline and glycine. Lysine is not only one of the main raw materials for collagen, but it can also inhibit collagen digesting enzymes by blocking their receptor sites in skin tissue. The body’s destruction of existing collagen slows down significantly, even if the skin is furiously pumping out these enzymes. This is particularly useful given that chronically stressed people experience far too much degradation of existing collagen (thanks to cortisol). Maintain a high production of collagen to keep pimples at bay and to heal acne scars by taking 800 mg of L-lysine per day. L-Proline: Proline is a major building block of collagen and elastin. It is an amino acid that provides important benefits in acne and wound healing, cartilage building and in flexible joint and muscle support. It has also been shown to help reduce sagging, wrinkling, and aging of skin resulting from exposure to the sun. Interestingly, only 3 to 4% of the amino acids in human collagen cells are lysine. Proline makes up 17%, while glycine makes up 32%. Proline and glycine are present at the very beginning of collagen formation and are the principle ingredients of procollagen - a collagen template that all other strengthening proteins and structures attach themselves to. For best results, it is recommended to take 200 mg of L-proline per day. L-Threonine: Threonine is an amino acid that supports connective tissues and muscles, and keeps them strong and elastic. It is considered helpful in building strong bones, tooth enamel, and is considered a wound healer. One of the primary functions of L-threonine is to assist in the creation of glycine and serine, two other amino acids that are necessary for the production of collagen, elastin, and muscle tissue. Glycine remains the most important amino acid for an acne-clearing enthusiast. Many people today are deficient in glycine, and a simple 20 mg per day supplementation will do the trick in assisting your body to build collagen. So there you have it - a list of natural and safe ingredients that are effective at clearing skin of pimples and excess oil. The above ingredients provide best results when combined with a healthy, fresh diet and plenty of sleep. Your skin heals and rebuilds itself best while you catch some ZZZ's. Back to my review: Could this be the miracle cure I have been looking for? It’s definitely possible! Will this product work identically on everyone’s skin/with everyone’s diet and lifestyle? Probably not! Is it worth at least trying? 100% yes. I get NOTHING out of writing this review and I’m surprised anyone would even post a negative review when the return policy is so easy going.. just get your $40 back and let other people try the product for goodness sakes! Skinphoria may not work for every single person but it has worked for me when nothing else did and I am now well into my 30’s. Also, like several others have mentioned, I also noticed I get a better sleep and have more energy during the day. I just feel better overall. Not sure if it’s because my skin is clearer and I don’t feel like hiding my face anymore.. but something has changed. Thank you Health Kandy!!!! This product has truly changed my life and I appreciate what you are doing!!!!

Hey! (To all reading the reviews and that may be a bit skeptical) So was I in the beginning, but gave this product a chance and was blown away by the results. In short, I struggle with hormonal acne flare-ups as an adult. My acne isn't "horrible", but uncomfortable and painful as it comes and goes when hormones are out of whack due to stress, sleep deprivation, and lacking a healthy intake of H2o/ and from time to time - diet. With that being said, I began taking the product during a "flare up", and after about 4-5 days I saw reduction in swelling and redness in my acne, and post acne scarring. Without the product, my hormonal acne cysts would hang around for over a week if not longer, sometimes never coming up to surface but still painfully be there - just chilling until they feel like dipping. The FLUSH that is described on the label is a real deal. For some it may last 30 min as described, and for others (myself ) flush may last 1-2 hours. My flush 80% of the time lasted for about 1.5 hours. Body (from head to toe) would gradually become tingly, bright red and super hot to the touch (and sometimes super itchy from the sudden blood flow). It is an accurate description when others comment "feels like a bad sunburn". But it kind of grows on you the longer you take the product. I also adjusted my capsule intake to take two in the evening after work. The one in AM and one in PM regimen didn't work for me due to my job and the length of my flush. When i take two capsules in the evening the length of my flush had been the same for about 3-4 weeks...by the 5th week my flush had shortened to about 30min-1hr. Also, don't want a severe flush? Do as it says - drink plenty of water and/or take on a full stomach or with food - I've tested and it indeed works (flush lasted 20-30 min). Anyway - this product works very well. Currently finishing bottle #2, and soon will be ordering bottle #3. With more sleep on the weekends, and more water intake and this product I have not experienced a cystic flare-up in the last 6-7 or so weeks. I still get occasional small pimples, but NO CYCTIC ACNE flareups... Cool, right? I think so :) Give it a try and stay consistent with your intake, don't skip doses and be patient and drink water to help drive out the nasties.

I’ve tried everything for cystic acne relief... nothing worked. I just finished my first bottle of Skintopia, and my skin looks 80% better than before when I started. I used to break out all over my face with painful, cystic acne around my period. Now, it’s reduced to around 1 or two pimples instead of 5 or 6 huge pimples. It hasn’t completely cleared my acne but I can definetly see the difference. I still have dark marks on my face from previous pimples, but my overall texture has improved. I feel more confident to wear less makeup. I believe with time the marks will fade now that I’m not getting as many pimples. The naicin flush is no joke, I definetly recommend eating a meal before taking this pill to reduce the effects. The first few times I took this, my entire body heated up and turned bright red. Over time your body will get used to it and it won’t be as intense. I’m going to order my second bottle and see if the effects continue to work, but so far I’m very pleased with the results :)
