I suffered with prominent acne all throughout high school and into college… so if you’re going through it right now, please know I feel your pain! I went to countless dermatologists, took rounds of antibiotics, and exhausted the conventional route until I realized that something deeper was going on (which was expressing itself through this acne). In my YouTube video I talk about how I finally achieved clear skin, the root causes of acne (what your body is trying to tell you!), the supplements I used, and the diet/skin care changes I made. I had cystic acne along with whiteheads AND blackheads (the whole shebang), and my root causes were both digestive and hormonal (forehead and cheeks/jaw). It took me years to find the answers to what was going on with my skin — I probably tried 1000s of supplements and skin products in the process – but I promised myself that as soon as I figured out the recipe that worked, I would share it with other acne sufferers!
UPDATE: My skin is certainly not perfect, but what amazes me is that it continues to get better and better as each month passes. I still get a pimple or two the 3-4 days before my period, and also have some scars from the damage. But I am no longer going through the painful cysts and bumps I used to get every single day, and 90% of the month my skin is pimple-free. That’s something I never thought I would achieve — I honestly didn’t think I would get to see even one full day with completely clear skin. I hope this video helps you get closer to YOUR root cause and gives you the hope that the same can happen to you. Enjoy!

Hi Olivia! Im very excited to follow your recommendations and begin the parapro cleanse! I have L Lyseine, pro biotic, the parapro cleanse and also your Flow Balance supplement. Is it safe for my kidneys/liver to take all this at the same time or do you recommend starting the Flow Balance supplement after I complete the parapro cleanse?
Thank you for everything!
Hi Olivia ! are there any side effects from taking L-lysine. i have been reading up a lot and read a lot of good however, I read that it may increase the risk of gallstones and higher cholesterol. is this only the case if to much is taken? please let me know
thank you very much :)
Thank you!
Hi Anna – Unfortunately we don’t know which brands would reach Australia. Your best bet would be to walk into a natural food store by you and ask them to show you the various L-Lysine brands and compare it to the one Olivia recommends – Team Organic Olivia
Yes based on the label recommended dosage and timing – Team Organic Olivia
