Your face needs Vitamin C!

So I have struggled with "adult" minor acne for YEARS! I never had breakouts in high school but as soon as i started college acne started popping up around my mouth and forehead :/ I tried everything and every brand from Neutrogena to Proactive with little to no results, in fact proactive made it WORSE! Then I became much more focused on using natural and organic products and tried everything from Burt's Bee's to Say Yes To and still no results. I was starting to think I would never find something natural that would work on my skin. Then last semester I had a Heath Science class and my teacher said something that made me stop and think, he said that back in Africa (where he's from) they instinctively rub orange peels on their face. The vitamin C in the orange peel is naturally good for your skin! I then thought to myself, maybe if I can find a natural/organic face wash whose main ingredient is vitamin C I could then finally get my acne under control. So I went out looking and found this:

 www.avalonorganics.com Avalon Organics! I started using their hydrating cleansing milk (not the gel) and daily moisturizer and two weeks into using it my acne was GONE!! I'm not kidding it was completely gone! I use the cleanser twice a day (morning and night) and the moisturizer in the morning because it has SPF 15 in it. It smells like orange oil and feels great, all you need is ONE pump! It will even take off your makeup! It is a little pricy at around $10-12 depending where you buy it, but one bottle will last you at least two months, mine lasts longer usually around 3-4. Plus you can buy this everywhere! Ok maybe not everywhere but I've found it at target and my local health food stores. It a wonderful product and I recommend it to everyone I talk to about acne. In fact I shared it with my Health Science class a few weeks after I started using it and a couple weeks later I had multiple people thank me and say it was the best face wash they've ever used! It's soap free and completely organic, seriously try it out it's fantastic :)
