Good Solid Read and Plenty of Natural Alternative Treatments
9 July 2007
Format:Paperback
You won't regret getting this book!
Clear Skin: Organic Guide for Acne is very well-organized, easy to read, and wonderfully educational. It doesn't aim to convert you into organic junkie, this "sandals-and-granola" type which I personally respect but hardly relate to. Organic here, in my opinion, means gentle, natural approach to improving our oh-so-problem skin from inside out.
The information Gabriel presents includes the most recent research. She discusses the merits and myths of traditional acne treatments and offers organic and all natural skin care products that are suitable for many skin types.
I got this book when I read two other books (Acne Cure and Unblemished!) on the subject, before I went to a dermatologist who suggested she should put me on Accutane. By the time I was formally educated, I had already heard everything from other books, and was also able to identify some dated traditional information. There's nothing old "chocolate won't give you acne" in this book! Everything is up to date and very unpretentiously explained. She really helped me understand why there isn't a consensus of opinion on the "best" cure for acne, why benzoyl peroxide literally ruined my skin and why many chemical ingredients in skin care products I use are bad if you have acne. Most importantly this book contains comprehensive step-by-step routines for each and every skin type, and you can easily mix and match them because they are all gentle and safe. Best thing, Gabriel doesn't sell anything and she's not Proactive or any other beauty brand salesperson.
If you are in the "Your skin, your science experiment" camp, she tells you several easy things so you can learn more about your own skin processes and various regimens (i.e., Acne Facial) you can try to control and fine tune your own skin care routine.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have tried everything, including years of prescription treatments that made my skin peel, crack, and burn. I used Accutane, twice, with little improvement to my acne at all. I have had moderate to severe acne for years, and finally, at the age of 18, its disappearing thanks to this book. I do not follow their suggested diet, but i do now eat mostly low GI foods. I used her suggestions incrementally to see how each one affected my skin, and the diet alone caused a huge improvement. the recipes as well as her recommendations for products all work great. It is extremely nice to not only be off all of my prescriptions, but to have even better skin than before. after a little less than a month, all i have left are a one or two small pimples and some acne spots and scars that are fading. i would recommend this book to anyone, especially those who do not want to use products with parabans or harsh chemicals

Wonderful resource for anyone who has to deal with acne
1 May 2009
Format:Paperback
I bought this book along Julie Gabriel's recent book, The Green Beauty Guide, and I must admit: this one is truly amazing and deserves much more attention! As a former acne sufferer, Julie is very focused on natural treatment strategies for acne-prone skin.
What's really great, she offers detailed skincare plans for each group of people who may have acne: teenagers, adult women, men, people with dark and mature skin, even pregnant women!
I enjoyed the homemade recipes, too. I used the book to custom-make my own acne regimen, and I already see the improvement, only after a week of sticking to it.
