Q. My son has suffered from horrible acne for two years, even after seeing two different dermatologists. We’ve tried everything, from prescriptions and Proactiv to laser treatments. There’s nothing left to try except Accutane, but we worry about side effects.
After using milk of magnesia (MoM) on his face for only two weeks, his skin has improved. It is so much better that instead of hiding behind shoulder-length hair, he got his hair cut so his face can actually be seen now!
Milk of magnesia definitely works on severe acne. Be sure to get the original MoM because the mint one contains mineral oil. It's wonderful to have my son smiling again!
A. Dermatologists are skeptical that milk of magnesia would be helpful against acne even though a letter in the Archives of Dermatology (Jan. 1975) stated that topical application of MoM might reduce redness and inflammation.
We have received a number of testimonials like yours. Certainly there is little harm in trying MoM on blemishes.
Under appropriate medical supervision, Accutane can be effective against severe acne, but it is expensive and has some potentially serious side effects.

How, exactly, do you use MoM for acne?
I remember someone from college who put a thin layer on at night and washed it off the next morning. She called it a mask and I don't think she used it every night. She had beautiful skin.
My son uses it -- I'm not exactly sure if he uses daily or not -- and his skin is less red and inflamed, but I'd love to know how others use it.
Thanks.
It works for ME! I chickened out of buying it twice- but I swear by it!
I have had Rosecea for several years, an outbreak here and there; and the Metrogel prescribed has always helped; this time it started about 3 months ago and it keeps getting worse, the Metrogel can't stop the outbreaks, I am at a point where I am going to start using Milk of Magnesia; hopefully it will help. I am not a youngster! Any other idea would be welcome. Kitty.
