AMAZING
This is my Folliculitis Journey and i include ALL THE PRODUCTS I USED to get rid of it.I got Folliculitis on my groin area, i had no idea what it was since i have never had it but it started spreading down my legs and leaving these dark marks/scars. The lesions started multiplying, i went to the doctors who gave me an ointment gel, which did absolutely nothing for me, it was an acne treatment.Since it started getting hotter and summer was near i knew i had to act fast or else i would have to wear pants all summer. First things first, from my research it states not to shave to prevent he spread of Folliculitis, so yes i did just that. I didn't shave for over a month...i know gross but it had to be done.*If you do decide to shave, use a new fresh blade every time you shave in order to prevent spread. Also if you have folliculitis on your legs don't use the same blade on your armpits etc.I looked up items on amazon and read reviews for "Almond Clear: Body Clearing Serum" https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0866B6CV1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1I decided to give it a try, i started with Level 1 and used it with the Hibliclens antibacterial soap as everyone in the reviews did. I already had the soap since its so amazing and i recommend everyone have thissoap in their home it works miracles. I was already using this soap by itself for about 2 weeks prior to buying the Almond Clear bottle and i noticed no difference. When i read that buyers were combining both Almond Clear Serum and the soap i decided to do the same, but still i felt that Hibliclens did not do much for me. My Folliculitis was very stubborn!https://www.amazon.com/Molnlycke-Hibiclens-HIBICLENS-LIQ-OZ/dp/B00E5R65SA/ref=sr_1_3?crid=GNSU7PU7YVEN&dchild=1&keywords=hibiclens&qid=1590613599&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&sprefix=hibi%2Caps%2C234&sr=8-3*Everyone is different so what works for someone might not work for others.As for the Almond Clear serum, i noticed immediately a difference! overnight the lesions seemed like they shrunk.The only complaint is that the bottle doesn't contain much. I had a big area to cover so 1 bottle was finished in 1 week. I would definitely recommend you purchase the bigger bottle so its worth your money (they have the 4oz option available). Also level 1 is more for someone who might have like 1-4 lesions..or for sensitive areas like the face. I felt like it made a difference but i definitely needed something stronger to completely get rid of them, i should've skipped to level2 like everyone else did in the reviews.I bought level 2 when i ran out of level 1 and i definitely noticed a huge difference! Listen to me right now, if you suffer from severe Folliculitis YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS!Honestly my case got so bad i had so many lesions on my groin area they started spreading down to my thighs and legs and even my private area :(i was so stressed i couldn't wear shorts and even pants would cause me to breakout in hives and the infected areawould get so red and irritated easily. It got bad!Luckily this product saved my life..I started using this April 20, today is May 27 and i am pretty much cured, the lesions are all gone and even the scars are faded! This product faded the nasty dark marks.The reviews recommend using up to 2xs a day. This did not work for me, my skin is very sensitive so i would only use 1x a day, every night after i showered i would apply and leave overnight. I do have to say that this product makes your skin peel and drys your skin out. For me, it made my skin excessively dry and i would shed skin almost everyday.Because my skin was getting beyond dry i decided to moisturize. I used CeraVe Moistorizing Lotion every morning when i woke up.*(make sure to always wash your hands before and after you apply a product to prevent from spreading to other body parts).https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YJ2SLG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1I used this lotion because alot of people with skin issues use this lotion and it works well, i had no issues, great product!I shower every night so i decided to use a Folliculitis Solution body wash i found on Amazon. I leave it on the area for about 5 mins then i rinse. I also noticed a big difference with this product right after the 1st use! I used this product for about 1.5 months?https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GBL3RES/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s04?ie=UTF8&psc=1Another product i used in the shower was the Nizoral Shampoo. I saw YouTube videos of people who used it on their arms and face to treat folliculitis. Luckily i already had this shampoo as well, its to treat dandruff, i recommend for both dandruff and for folliculitis, i feel like this items made a difference. I replaced the Hibliclens soap with this product, i leave it on the area for about 5 mins then rinse in the shower. I used this product for about a month.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AINMFAC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1The final product i used was Defense Soap, i used this soap in order to kill any bacteria or fungi that might have been causing the Folliculitis. I felt like this also made a difference and i washed my whole body with this in order to prevent any Folliculitis from spreading on my stomach or arms...I was terrified of getting it any where else, the soap makes you feel fresh and clean specially after a workout! It does dry your skin so you don't have to use everyday, but if you do i would definitely recommend to moisturize with the CeraVe lotion or just any lotion in general. I used this product for about a month.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HYBK2YF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1*Be sure to use these products EVERYDAY, TO SEE RESULTS YOU HAVE TO BE CONSISTENT.If you are on a budget: Out of all the products i would definitely recommend you use the Almond Clear Serum and the Folliculitis Body Wash by Ovante. Yes i know this is a VERY LONG routine and so many products to use, but all my folliculitis is pretty much gone already! It is pricey to buy all these items, but honestly i was willing to pay $100+ in order to get rid of this and it was worth it!I guess it depends how bad do you want to get rid of this? I think its worth it!Do your research, find out what works for you, try different products until you find something that works for your skin. I HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE!

Bye Chronic Folliculitis!
Have struggled with chronic folliculitis on my bottom ever since I was a child. Though it has gotten better with age and more-than-average hygiene practices and using neem oil soaps and salicylic acid and essential oils for hydration, it always seemed to come back immediately when I would slip up on my routine or do something to irritate my skin like keeping tight clothes on for too long or not changing gym clothes as soon as I got home. Or even sitting for more than 30 minutes :( Ugh. This stuff really does work though (for me) and I found significant relief after just two uses (daily use). I have never experienced this kind of relief from this issue and I am so glad that I've found this product. Will be buying it from now on. I've ordered the body lotion as well and this will be a part of my regime from now on. Thank you Ovante you are really bringing me a confidence I've never had before.

Great product
I have been using this product for about 2 weeks now. The label says it's for the body, but I have been using it for my face/beard. I get breakouts along my jawline alot and underneath my chin. I have spent thousands on over the counter products, dermatologist have given countless prescriptions of antibiotics that only "work" while you take them. This product has cleared up 60% of my skin within the first two weeks. I have naturally oily skin that contributes to my skin issues, so I have occasional acne breakouts also. I say that to mention this product has also helped with controlling the sebum production that contributes to my breakouts. I am pleased with the results and will continue to use this product. I was skeptical at first because I didn't see a ton of reviews like other popular products on Amazon, but I'm glad I made the decision. For those who are suffering, even if the product doesn't clear up your condition 100%.. I would still recommend even if you could improve by 75%. To me even a minor relief helps. I hope this helps those who are reading reviews trying to decide to purchase this product.

It's amazing! Yes the smell takes some getting used to
I've suffered from severe folliculiis on arms since I was about 9 years old, I'm 29 years old now... nothing ever works. Ive been to the dermatologist, I've tried every home remedy and every cream or ointment you can think of. Within a week i noticed a dramatic difference with this body wash! It's amazing! Yes the smell takes some getting used to, but after 20 years of being so self-conscious about my arms and wearing nothing but long sleeves and sweaters to hide them, I now feel like I can wear a tank top or short sleeve and not worry about people seeing my red bumps all over my arms. I love this product so much I just ordered the lotion as well!

Soft skin, helped folliculitis, worsened KP
After just one use my skin became SO SOFT, and more uses even more soft. I wash with a washcloth and a regular soap first so I don't waste any of the product on the washcloth. Then I use my hands to rub the ovante into my skin and let it sit for a couple minutes before rinsing.RESULTS: very soft skin. saw improvement to my folliculitis. unfortunately I also have keratosis pilaris (they can copresent) and it worsened that (kp areas spread, became oily, generally worse). so I won't be buying again.THE SCENT: people have commented about the smell but not described it, here I can help. Out of the bottle it's a strong tea tree oil grassy smell. Once it's on your body for a bit your skin starts to smell like coal tar dandruff shampoo. It's not very strong at all, after you've gotten dressed you have to put your skin up to your nose to be able to smell it. Doesn't bother me at all. But if you are really sensitive to the scent of tar keep that in mind when you are deciding what product to buy. (If you're not someone who is very sensitive to certain scents, you're not buying this to smell good anyway, right?)Good luck everyone :)
