skinid.com online or by phone. you have to take the evaluation test online and they will determine your formula (17, 40, 80 for example). obviously your daughter would have to do her own test. its AMAZING! right now you get some free gifts too and make sure to use codes you can find by searching retailmenot.com i am soooo happy!!! my skin looks at least 50% better after less than two weeks....
Slight barge....but you might want to give it a try. For some people (including me!) it makes a huge difference, as the acne is systemically caused rather than just hormones/clogged pores/etc. I was on a low dose of tetracycline for a long time (a couple of years maybe) as a teenager, and went from 'kinda typical acne' to 'once in a while a pimple'. As an adult, I've had periodic eruptions of cystic acne (not terrible, but if I have more than one, I know more friends will soon arrive without treatment) - and a 2-4 week course makes it go away when nothing else does.The derm wants to put her on an oral antibiotic for a month and I'm not so happy about that.
Tetracycline is rarely used for most infections any more, so it's not as much of a problem in the antibiotic resistance thing. IIRC, it's also a low dose compared to a lot of thing (not positive on this one - obviously you need to research.)
I'm so glad it's working for you!
While I don't have bad acne, it was persistent and was gradually getting worse. My issues were a lot of bumpy congestion and breakouts alone the jawline and chin. I assume there is a big hormonal component based on that, and the fact that during my last two trimesters of all three pregnancies my skin has been perfect like a 7 year old, lol.
That being said, I found this website and became a long distance client. My skin looks so awesome now, I don't even have to think about it. They designed a routine for me, and I have been following it to the T.
