Hey there,
I recently ordered Yonka Juvenil for my problem skin. I break out consistently, and I've found that my major problem is that I don't know how to stop a incoming pimple. Like, I can see it, there it is, but now what? I rub ice on it and tea tree oil and sal. acid and everything else. However, it doesn't budge. So, I proceed to pick at it. I can't help it. So then, it gets larger. Then its like it turns from a blemish to a cyst, because I couldn't leave the darn thing alone. Well, not a cyst, but just a really huge noticable pimple. Do you guys think I made the right choice in ordering this product? I hate BP, so i was opting for something more natural. I need something that will stop the critter in its tracks, and thats why I ordered it. Yeah, call it a quick fix ...but I need it. Can anyone recommend anything similar, something that has worked for them, in zapping incoming zits and pimples? I have yet to try the asprin mask. Honey doesn't work. Eggs made it worse. Nothing from my kitchen works. Please help. |

Thanks Halfie, I'll look into it once this thing doesn't work.
Yeah, I hope it works too. I saw all the great reviews online, and i was like, gotta try this! After I placed the order, I saw some bad reviews... So now I'm getting worried, but just hoping for the best...not gonna touch my face until my yonka arrives. Will update on arrival and so forth. |

I just recently ran out of the Juvenil but will be repurchasing. I'm pretty sure it does contribute to keeping my skin clear. I used to spot treat but towards the end just used it all over my face (expensive but it works).
ETA: It can break you out on the beginning when you just start to use it. |

It's possible but may not be the case. I had no problems with the Juvenil but I know that Chunlisa had some breakouts before her skin calmed down. |

Hi there,
The only thing hat worked for me was a presctiption acne gel containing clindamycin phosphas.
I tried Juve, Tea Tree Oil, AHA BHA products etc and nothing helped but the RX.

I don’t know if you’ve already checked out the Juvenil reviews by our resident Yonka expert, ChunLisa, but in the following links she discusses how Juvenil causes your skin to purge all the dirt and gunk under your skin during the first couple weeks of use, but then it’s mostly clear sailing after that:
http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=5120&start=0
http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=729&highlight=juvenil
Another good choice is Yonka’s Emulsion Pure, which I have found behaves in the same way that Juvenil does. I was able to recreate the Emulsion Pure at home very cheaply so it is for this reason that I prefer EP over Juvenil, although they are both fantastic at stopping a zit in its tracks. You can click on this link to read more about how I apply Emulsion Pure on incoming pimples:

Also cream 15 is a part of the yonka line geared towards breakouts as well. If I had reallly bad breakouts I would apply Juvenil first then cream 15 over top of that. |

To make your Juvenil last longer, you can also mix a couple drops in your Creme 15 or Creme PG and smooth that all over your face. |

Yes, that's what I use for maintenance once it's under control or when I don't have bad breakouts. As I haven sensitive skin I often mix it with creme 11 as well, that is the beauty of Yonka. Don't ya just love it?!  |
