Dallas Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I'm using clearasil and not sure if they test on animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I also use clearasil, I never actually considered this before. I had a quick look on Google and it seems to be split, some say Yes, others say no and others say no one knows so I'm really not sure who to believe.

gecko Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 This doesnt really answer your question, but I thought I might share my experience with you about acne. I had acne from the time I was 11 years old. I think I tried every product from supermarket washes, over the counter creams, prescription medications and antibiotics - none of it worked. At 24 I started using the 'oil cleansing method' on my skin (lots of information on the net if you google it) and now my skin is as close to flawless as its ever been. I just mix equal parts castor oil and extra virgin olive oil, massage it over my face for 5-10mins, then wash off with very hot water and a clean washcloth. I do this 3 times a week. Sorry if I sound like an adverisement but I will tell anyone who'll listen about this because it worked so well for me. No chemicals, no animal testing and incredibly cheap (as you only use a small amount each wash). I hope you'll try it and have the same result I have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjs Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 http://www.paulaschoice.com/ doesn't test on animals but I'm not sure if all the ingredients are vegan. I've used the oil cleansing method with castor + some other oil off and on. Works for about two weeks for me then my skin returns to "normal," sometimes switching to a different combo of oils will get me another two weeks. Right now I'm just using an olive oil bar soap and making sure to use a moisturizer after showering. Seems to work ok right now. Since it's still primarily olive oil I consider it OCM.

I did this using oatmeal and my skin felt pretty good. http://www.paulaschoice.com/ doesn't test on animals but I'm not sure if all the ingredients are vegan.I've used the oil cleansing method with castor + some other oil off and on.

MartinVegartin Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 If the problem is caused by excess sebum and blocked pores, washing with a tea-tree facial wash might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
