Wowee - yeah - a lot of unpronouncables! LOL.

But I personally would still choose natural over synthetic any day No matter the awards or proven claims. It's a bit like Nestle trying to convince me that their concoctions are as good as nature's real foods. Aint gonna happen. hehe.

Sadly our cottage industries will never have the money to have the marketing advantage of being clinically proven or dermatologically tested as I know this costs a lot All we can do is rely on customer testomonials. Fortunately there's plenty out there

But a lot of care and research goes into the properties of plant oils and their appropriate uses, hence why there are so many different recipes and combinations of oils for different purposes. And as for essential oils... gosh that's a whole other ball park. There is lots and lots to learn. It's not just people slapping a few oils together in their kitchen hehe.

As for the OP - I'm a picker But mine disappear quite quickly after a pick - perhaps I'm not prone to infection or anything?? Love a good squeeze tho. I've had a few preggo pimples lately, but I don't usually get many at all.
