A very dear friend of mine in High School had Acne. No matter what he tried, the breakouts were just awful.

I always thought I had smooth unwrinkled skin until I had my cataract operations. Ay yi yi. My surgeon laughed when I told her. She said that a lot of her older patients who had this surgery often had face surgeries right after their eye surgeries! I just bought something from Philosophy with Retinol A. I'll let you know how ti is.

Yup, the Preparation H trick really does work. Just remember to cleanse your eye with something mild at the end of the day. I haven't had enough guts to try it on my neck yet.

Patrick used preparation H after hes had a tattoo, they told him its the best thing to apply. Now its in my medicine cupboard!might go try it.
