Health Kandy Best Acne Supplements for Adults and Teens

I want to start out by saying that it took me some time to convince myself to buy this product. I’ve had acne for as long as I can remember… since my early teenage years… and like most others purchasing Skinphoria, I’ve tried basically every single acne product advertised or recommended to me, short of accutane. I also live a totally healthy lifestyle. I am vegetarian, I drink a lot of water, I exercise, I get enough sleep, I don’t wear heavy makeup, I rarely drink alcohol, I rarely consume dairy products, I wash my face twice a day… but I couldn’t figure out what the heck was wrong with my skin.What I like about Skinphoria is that their customer service is EXCELLENT. I read the instructions about the flush but what I experienced seemed a lot milder than what I expected would happen (especially after reading some of these reviews about burning and extreme redness). I reached out to Health Kandy’s corporate email and they were able to explain to me that the flush is different for everyone and that the vasodilation is still occurring underneath the skin. They gave me some tips in order to get the most benefit out of this product and said that if for any reason I would be unsatisfied with the supplements, I would be able to get a full refund. Wow. I did not expect that. A company that actually backs the EFFECTIVENESS of their product… and if it doesn’t work, nothing lost! I would have posted a 5-star review just for the customer service! I’m glad I gave it a try because after a couple of weeks…tah dahhh! I started to see a dramatic improvement in my skin! I want to repeat that as long as I could remember, I had acne. Cycstic, hormonal, small pimples, large pimples, blackheads, large pores.. you name it. I started thinking that this might be too good to be true. Nope! Over a month later and I’m still seeing huge improvement! I just ordered my 3rd bottle and have recently started doing some research on why this is simply works. A blog on their website explains the ingredients:Chromium:Some call it a "miracle cure" for acne, some call it "chromium picolinate." Chromium is a mineral that regulates insulin and blood sugar level, lowers cholesterol, balances hormones, improves immune function and provides anti-inflammatory relief. A healthy supplementation of chromium is approximately 200 mcg per day. It has also been proven and published that chromium works to alleviate skin of rashes and other irritations if taken in recommended daily doses. Inflamed skin is unhealthy skin, which triggers your body’s production of lubricants (sebum) to sooth the skin, which in turn clogs the pores. Chromium steps in to break that cycle, and individuals who begin taking chromium supplements will notice a marked decrease in not just their acne, but in the rapid – and unhealthy – fluctuation of their blood sugar levels.Niacin:Consistently rated 5/5 stars on Acne.org, niacin, also known a vitamin B3, is a more recently discovered remedy to treat acne. Niacin is often used in detoxification programs to remove toxins throughout the body. It improves blood flow through vasodilation, expanding blood capillaries in your body and resulting in a niacin “flush”. This is where the skin may appear to be flushed as blood is closer to the surface. Oil glands are swept clean and toxins are eliminated through this process, including bad bacteria which may be trapped below the skin’s surface. Do not be alarmed by the niacin flush. It is completely safe and harmless. You will feel that you skin is hot, tingly and itchy for approximately 30 minutes (sometimes lasting up to 2 hours in extreme cases). The longer you take niacin consistently, the less severe your flush will become. Studies have shown that taking 500 mg of niacin per day, dramatically improves the condition of acne prone skin.Zinc:While zinc alone isn’t a magical cure-all for acne, it turns out that many acne sufferers are deficient in it. Zinc Glycinate is one of the most bio-available forms of the mineral, zinc, and is therefor most easily absorbed by the body. You want to get between 15 and 30 milligrams of zinc per day in total, so the amount you supplement might depend somewhat on your diet. For most people who need it, supplementing with 10-15 mg of zinc per day is ideal. The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of zinc help reduce oil production naturally. Also, a recent study found that zinc facilitates apoptosis, or programmed cell death, which is a natural part of your skin renewing itself. If apoptosis is delayed, as in the case of zinc deficiency, skin cells stick together instead of dying and being eliminated like they should, which leads to clogged pores.L-Lysine:L-lysine and clearing acne go hand in hand. L-lysine is the bioactive, supplemental form of lysine, an essential amino acid of which your body is incapable of manufacturing its own supply. Lysine is the third amino acid which is vital for collagen formation, alongside proline and glycine. Lysine is not only one of the main raw materials for collagen, but it can also inhibit collagen digesting enzymes by blocking their receptor sites in skin tissue. The body’s destruction of existing collagen slows down significantly, even if the skin is furiously pumping out these enzymes. This is particularly useful given that chronically stressed people experience far too much degradation of existing collagen (thanks to cortisol). Maintain a high production of collagen to keep pimples at bay and to heal acne scars by taking 800 mg of L-lysine per day.L-Proline:Proline is a major building block of collagen and elastin. It is an amino acid that provides important benefits in acne and wound healing, cartilage building and in flexible joint and muscle support. It has also been shown to help reduce sagging, wrinkling, and aging of skin resulting from exposure to the sun. Interestingly, only 3 to 4% of the amino acids in human collagen cells are lysine. Proline makes up 17%, while glycine makes up 32%. Proline and glycine are present at the very beginning of collagen formation and are the principle ingredients of procollagen - a collagen template that all other strengthening proteins and structures attach themselves to. For best results, it is recommended to take 200 mg of L-proline per day.L-Threonine:Threonine is an amino acid that supports connective tissues and muscles, and keeps them strong and elastic. It is considered helpful in building strong bones, tooth enamel, and is considered a wound healer. One of the primary functions of L-threonine is to assist in the creation of glycine and serine, two other amino acids that are necessary for the production of collagen, elastin, and muscle tissue. Glycine remains the most important amino acid for an acne-clearing enthusiast. Many people today are deficient in glycine, and a simple 20 mg per day supplementation will do the trick in assisting your body to build collagen.So there you have it - a list of natural and safe ingredients that are effective at clearing skin of pimples and excess oil. The above ingredients provide best results when combined with a healthy, fresh diet and plenty of sleep. Your skin heals and rebuilds itself best while you catch some ZZZ's.Back to my review: Could this be the miracle cure I have been looking for? It’s definitely possible! Will this product work identically on everyone’s skin/with everyone’s diet and lifestyle? Probably not! Is it worth at least trying? 100% yes. I get NOTHING out of writing this review and I’m surprised anyone would even post a negative review when the return policy is so easy going.. just get your $40 back and let other people try the product for goodness sakes! Skinphoria may not work for every single person but it has worked for me when nothing else did and I am now well into my 30’s. Also, like several others have mentioned, I also noticed I get a better sleep and have more energy during the day. I just feel better overall. Not sure if it’s because my skin is clearer and I don’t feel like hiding my face anymore.. but something has changed. Thank you Health Kandy!!!! This product has truly changed my life and I appreciate what you are doing!!!!

Hey! (To all reading the reviews and that may be a bit skeptical) So was I in the beginning, but gave this product a chance and was blown away by the results. In short, I struggle with hormonal acne flare-ups as an adult. My acne isn't "horrible", but uncomfortable and painful as it comes and goes when hormones are out of whack due to stress, sleep deprivation, and lacking a healthy intake of H2o/ and from time to time - diet. With that being said, I began taking the product during a "flare up", and after about 4-5 days I saw reduction in swelling and redness in my acne, and post acne scarring. Without the product, my hormonal acne cysts would hang around for over a week if not longer, sometimes never coming up to surface but still painfully be there - just chilling until they feel like dipping. The FLUSH that is described on the label is a real deal. For some it may last 30 min as described, and for others (myself ) flush may last 1-2 hours. My flush 80% of the time lasted for about 1.5 hours. Body (from head to toe) would gradually become tingly, bright red and super hot to the touch (and sometimes super itchy from the sudden blood flow). It is an accurate description when others comment "feels like a bad sunburn". But it kind of grows on you the longer you take the product. I also adjusted my capsule intake to take two in the evening after work. The one in AM and one in PM regimen didn't work for me due to my job and the length of my flush. When i take two capsules in the evening the length of my flush had been the same for about 3-4 weeks...by the 5th week my flush had shortened to about 30min-1hr. Also, don't want a severe flush? Do as it says - drink plenty of water and/or take on a full stomach or with food - I've tested and it indeed works (flush lasted 20-30 min). Anyway - this product works very well. Currently finishing bottle #2, and soon will be ordering bottle #3. With more sleep on the weekends, and more water intake and this product I have not experienced a cystic flare-up in the last 6-7 or so weeks. I still get occasional small pimples, but NO CYCTIC ACNE flareups... Cool, right? I think so :) Give it a try and stay consistent with your intake, don't skip doses and be patient and drink water to help drive out the nasties.

So... I read the reviews and was like, "hmmm I'm sure this will work -rolls eyes." I ended up buying one bottle because I was like, "screw it, at least I tried." Come to find out, it actually DOES work! I started off with just one pill a day, but per the instructions, they recommended two, so within the first month I went from 1 to 2 a day and have been taking this for almost 3 months now. Surprising to say, this does work. I get ingrown hairs and couldn't shave my face too much because I'd break out and look like a freak. I noticed now, I can do it often and the ingrown hairs causing acne is DRASTICALLY reduced. I get the type of acne that is huge, disfiguring and doesn't go away for weeks and when it does, it leaves a huge black acne scar. I can 100% guarantee, if you take this twice a day, every day and push through the flush, you will see results. I am going to continue taking this as long as I possibly can.Niacin Flush: I seriously though the reviewers were being dramatic about this because people are SO DRAMATIC, but nope... they definitely weren't. I notice the only time I don't get this flush is if I take a pill after eating a meal that is fatty. Eating a healthy meal or not eating at all gives me an intense flush that goes throughout my body and lasts for like 30 minutes or so, causing splotches of red in weird spots and a burning sensation throughout my whole body. If you didn't know this would happen, you'd definitely think you're getting an allergic reaction. Often times I even feel it in my throat, BUT ITS SO WORTH IT! It really helps convince me it's working as well haha.Background info: I'm a 31YO half black and half Filipino male with severe acne and acne scars, which is genetic. I went through two cycles of Accutane and still get acne all over my face, on my upper back and across my neck, so I was desperate for a solution and tried MANY oral pills in the past.

Well, i am 28 and i have been having acne since i hit 16. It started to get really bad when i hit 22. People with acne or who have suffered from this know how it feels to have this on your face, to be asked about your acne, it even makes you feel embarrassed mostly because people crack jokes on you about it. Anywho, well i had to go through that for a long time. I have bought everything, tried everything over the counter you name And ive tried it. All the products did was make my face worse or made my face super dry! I was desperate. Well i stopped wearing make up at the age of 23 so it came more difficult for me to have my face full of pimples and red spots and scars. I tried, diets, water, all that nothing worked. Well recently, i got on Amazon and started to see this product, and i kind of freaked out because of the flush etc. I got it and started it, by 2 weeks i can see a huge difference my scars were going away, and i have not gotten the pimples that are under your skin and hurt. I use to get the painful pimples. My face is acne FREE, smooth like a baby, naturaly blushed, it has a super glow. My face is not dry, greasy no more and i am way more secure. It worked for me and am very greatful for this product im on my second bottle and i wont stop taking. The symptoms i dont mind, the flush feels good at some point becauss you know its working . I have also been taking vitamin for nails and hair. I give this product a 10, its amazing. I wanted to do a before and after picture but the pictures i had taken before i started the pills were on my other phone that got broken. I really encourage to try it. Maybe this product will give you the confidence and the ability to never use make up again like me. I feel great in my skin. Thank you SKINPHORIA!!!!! 😍

I never had acne until I turned 25 and then started struggling horribly with adult cystic acne. I went back and forth for a couple months deciding whether to shell out $40 on yet another acne supplement. After reading the reviews on both their website and on Amazon, I decided that $40 would be a small loss, to the greater opportunity of the product actually working. Yes, the first week the flush was strong! Do follow the instructions of taking the supplements with a meal and plenty of water. By the end of the third week though the flush has been a lot more tolerable, and even pleasant, especially before bed. My skin started to clear within a week but it didn't get this clear until a few days ago and it's been almost 2 months, so please give this product a chance. Nothing else worked for me and I refuse to go on Accutane and have my face peel off for 6 months. This is a life saver and can get pricey if you buy from their website so I started buying it from Amazon for $39 instead of $44. If you struggle with acne, it's worth buying this and giving it a chance. Considering how amazing my results are, I regret not trying it earlier. I cannot believe that I have a clear face in my mid-30’s, after all these years. Btw, as others have mentioned, if you suffer from anxiety, this helped me with it as well. You can tell this is a very high-quality product because there are no fillers in the ingredients list!
