Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
I have struggled with cystic acne most of my teen and adult life. Unfortunately I have spent lots of money at dermatologists doing treatments, lasers, and prescriptions. They all worked for the time being, but were never a long term solution.
Since having my second child at 30 my face got worse. I used Tea Tree and coconut oils, which seemed to work well, but I was still breaking out.
My two sisters started using Frankincense oil on their face and convinced me to start useing it also. I just apply one drop, with some coconut oil to smooth it across my face. Guess what? I have been using it for a little over a month and have only had 1 small pimple - not a cyst!
In the past two weeks I have seen friends that I haven't seen in a few months and ALL of them asked me what I was using on my face. They couldn't believe the difference in how smooth my face looked and no break outs!
Cystic acne causes divots your skin and scaring. I haven't been able to walk out of my house without makeup since I was a child. Now I am able to leave my house without makeup, if I choose, without feeling self conscious.
I can't believe how much 1 drop at night on my face has improved my skin!
