A young woman attributes her new glowing skin to a lifestyle overhaul and an innovative range of skincare products after battling agonizing cystic acne for two and a half years.
Billyjo, 24, from South Australia, had “crystal clear” skin all his life before suffering from the painful condition when he was 22.
It started with a few pimples in hormonal areas of her face before “spreading everywhere,” leaving her in immense “physical and emotional pain.”
What followed was two years of trial and error in which she tried various medications, treatments and diets before she finally found a routine that made a difference.
she also discovered The secret, a doctor-designed online prescription skincare brand that Billyjo said was “really amazing.” So much so that his skin was perfect in a matter of months.
A young woman attributes her new glowing skin to a lifestyle overhaul and an innovative range of skincare products after battling agonizing cystic acne for two and a half years.
Billyjo, 24, from South Australia, had “crystal clear” skin all his life before suffering from the painful condition when he was 22. He cured it with a hormone balancing diet and The Secret skin care.
“I started trying LED treatments at my local skin clinic along with hydrating chemical peels, however the spread did not stop,” Billyjo said of her rapidly spreading acne.
“I tried a lot of products that promised to help, but again, nothing.”
In desperation, her GP prescribed Billyjo doxycycline, a form of antibiotic that kills the bacteria responsible for acne. After nine months of use, she noticed a big change, but it didn’t last long.
‘It was completely gone, but the medication did more harm than good. “Six months later, my cystic acne came back and was worse than before after destroying my gut health,” she said.
‘I was experiencing intense swelling and acne once again. I started more treatments, chemical peels, LED, microneedling, but nothing could calm it down. My sister suggested that she try massaging my skin from the inside out and that’s what I did.
‘After a few months of hormonal balance, my sister referred me to The Secret Skincare to take care of my skin. After previous brands and products failed, I wasn’t sure this would work, but I tried it anyway,” she said.

Armed with a new wave of determination, Billy Jo completely eliminated processed sugars, went on long walks, took infrared saunas once a week, and took FEM21 (a hormone supplement) every morning.
She also included protein and nutritional foods in her diet to balance her hormones and began journaling and managing her stress more effectively.
“I started taking care of myself and it was the best decision I ever made,” he said.

“I ordered the Sensitive Day Brightening Elixir and within a few days or a week my skin was already starting to clear up.”

‘I included monthly skin needling treatments to speed up healing and after a long and painful journey, I am very happy with my skin today. “It’s healthy and balanced,” Billyjo said.
Billyjo used two products: The Secret Acne Overnight Formula and the Day illuminating elixir.
The first uses a blend of prescription ingredients known by dermatologists to be the most effective for topical acne treatment. The second uses a combination of brightening and anti-inflammatory ingredients to gently remove dead skin cells and harmful bacteria that cause a variety of inflammatory skin conditions.
“I honestly couldn’t believe it, my skin went from painful cystic acne to clear again in a few months,” Billyjo said.
‘I included monthly skin needling treatments to speed up healing and after a long and painful journey, I am very happy with my skin today. It is healthy and balanced.
‘I recommend this brand to all my family and friends and honestly anyone I know who is going through the same thing. Having happy skin can be achieved and it’s easier than you think, trust the process!’
