I found Oxypowder to be the absolute best Colon Cleanse I ever tried, and I tried it all. However, I had to take much less than recommended. I wonder if anyone has a theory about why you are getting the breakouts - but I wonder if using it very slowly might help - like one or two pills a night at most. Here's one possible theory - Maybe the detox is too fast for your body to expel and it's causing overload. Anyway, the stuff worked exceptionally well for me, but I had to go super, super slow, with less pills over a longer period of time.
