monika002 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Hello! I am interested in using KAVI products, especially the acne system for oily or combination skin. I have tried many products and as of late it has been getting worse. I have moderate acne and I do break out a lot. There isn't a day where I don't have at least one pimple. My skin gets oily but it also gets dry as well. So would the acne system III work for me or would you advise a different one. Also, my skin is sensitive and I'm worried if the Coral Kavi would dry out my skin too much even though I produce a lot of oil throughout the day. I was just wondering what you would advise I should do and the types of products that could work for me. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAVI Support Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 The Anti-Acne System II for Normal/Dry Skin might be a better system for you, however, you may want to start even more conservatively and simply purchase a bundle of the Aqua KAVI. Cleanse your skin once per day with Aqua KAVI, and with water alone during other cleansing sessions within a 24-hour window. Try that for one week and evaluate your skin's response. If you feel your skin still feels too oily, try shortening your cleansing intervals with Aqua KAVI to twice per day. Based on your skin's response over the following week or two, you can make a determination to maintain the current regimen, lengthen cleansing intervals, or add additional KAVI products such as the Toner, a salicylic acid mask (preferably the 8%) or a complete system.

monika002 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Thanks for the quick reply! Would I break out more if I used the Aqua KAVI? Also, lately I've been getting A LOT of tiny bumps on my forehead and some around my chin, it's never been this bad. Is there anything I can do to minimize them? Would derma wash be a good cleanser to use or would the Aqua KAVI be more effective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAVI Support Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 What have you been treating your skin with to date? Are the breakouts where you have oily or dry skin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monika002 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Well i've been using a cleanser called 'La Roche-Posay -- Effaclar' for a year now. However, I did switch to Lush products maybe 2 months ago. I first used a cleanser called herbalism but I stopped because it wasn't working, then I switched to Fresh Farmacy, also another cleanser and I tried that for two weeks but it was drying my skin out and I felt it was breaking me out more. Also, for a short while, I used extra virgin olive oil which moisturized my skin and faded some scars but I stopped using that as well. So now I'm back on my original cleanser. Well the tiny bumps are mostly on my forehead ( i've had a few before but now there a lot more and more bumpy than before), I always breakout between my eyebrows and anywhere on my forehead ( it gets oily on my forehead) and I breakout sometimes on my chin and cheeks. There are some tiny bumps coming out on my chin and cheek area that wasn't there before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monika002 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 The breakouts are usually where it is oily but sometimes in dry areas as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAVI Support Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 It sounds like you may need a milder anti-acne cleanser, and DermaWash would be our mildest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monika002 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Would I be able to remove my makeup with DermaWash or use something else? Is there anything else I should use to help treat/reduce my acne? Would you say I should start with DermaWash first or should I order both the DermaWash and the Aqua Kavi?

KAVI Support Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 DermaWash can also remove your makeup. It would be prudent to start with DermaWash alone and, after a couple of weeks of use, make a determination if you need additional product. With dry and sensitive skin like yours, it is too easy to over-treat the skin and consequently trigger an immune response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monika002 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 So I shouldn't use a toner or a spot treatment then? Will the DermaWash effectively treat my acne? So you would recommend DermaWash instead of Aqua Kavi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAVI Support Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Not right at the start of your new regimen with KAVI, no. DermaWash is less drying than Aqua KAVI and would be more appropriate as a first step for your skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monika002 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Okay thank you! I'll try the DermaWash and let you know how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monika002 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Oh I forgot to ask you that once I start the DermaWash, would I still be able to use a scrub once a week or a mask? And should I use a makeup remover or a cleanser that removes makeup? There is this product called 'Marcelle Cleansing water' or should I used extra virgin olive oil to remove my makeup?

KAVI Support Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 It would be best to work with DermaWash exclusively and then step into any products that are astringents or antiseborrheics. Until you know how your skin responds to DermaWash, it would be prudent to limit the skin's exposure to other products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
