Skin History

"In college (8-10 years ago), I struggled with really painful cystic acne and took this HORRIFIC antibiotic regiment that made my face and skin so dry, my lips literally peeled off in layers. I was told after the medication, my cystic acne would never recur. I also tried other over-the-counter creams like salicylic acid. The antibiotic cleared the cysts for a long time, but about a year before switching to Urban Oreganics I had what seemed so similar to the cysts again-- super painful bumps deep under my skin. I had made a dermatology appointment at the same time I started using Urban Oreganics’ products, but I would NEVER take the medication they prescribed -- plus I was trying to get pregnant, and I knew many of those medications were unsafe."


The Switch

"I use Urban Oreganics’ cleansing grains, rosewater toner, and facial cream. I tell all my friends about it -- my skin has never looked or felt so healthy! My son, who just turned one, also has been a walking testimony of the purity of UO. Shortly after he was born, he was getting horrible rashes, and cracking in the skin folds of his joints. I removed all his soaps/lotions and replaced them with the baby shampoo and wash and baby oil. His skin cleared up so quickly! It's all I use on him, for shampoo, body wash, and the oil instead of a lotion. His skin is so "baby" soft now, with no rashes to speak of."
