Hello!
I have a question about Epidermx- has anyone tried Epidermx?
I heard it helps treating vitiligo. My mother has it, and is very unhappy because of it. She tried some creams, but nothing really helped.
She cut the other day on finger and wound seems now like another pigment lost. Personally, I do not find this so frightening, but she makes such a fuss around it… she says it looks like a disease… and she wears bandage around it??! Maybe I would think different if that was happening to me…
Anyway, she saw this add about epidermx, and wants to try it out… it is not really cheap… anyway, she has birthday in 2 weeks, and I was thinking surprising her with epidermx. Anyone with epidermx experience here?
Thanks for feedback!

HI!
I was using epidermx for a while, and am still very satisfied with the effects.
But I didn’t use it for vitiligo, but for acne and breakouts. I didn’t have severe acne, I had breakout during cycles. Anyway, nothing helped me before, just epidermx did. Skin was very smooth afterwards… I do not use it no more, do not have breakouts no more.
Anyway, epidermx was recommended by my doc, as a home micro-dermabrasion cream. The only drawback wasi couldn’t use it more than once a week.
I am not sure whether epidermx works for vitiligo… but I heard that figs are perfect natural remedy for it!
She could also try applying some essential oils, which supposedly also work well. I do not know which ones exactly, thus would be best to consult some aromatherapist… not all essential oil can be applied on skin and not all have same therapeutic benefits! But the right ones do works! It is worth trying it I think.
Good luck!

I used Epidermx to treat occasional acne...
Does Epidermx treat vitiligo? I thought vitiligo cannot be treated...
anyway, my experience with Epidermx was not so positive as yours, Nina.
I tried epidermx first, and then friend recommended I should try microdermx, which was comparing to Epidermx gift from the sky. Epidermx felt like it was watered down, so i guess the effects was 'watered too' Wink

Perhaps Epidermx is one of the better home "microdermabrasion" scrubs out there (so I read), but it doesn't work on me, at least not as expected.
