Joan from New York, I agree with you. I've had acne since I was 10 yrs old (YES, 10 yrs old) and I am now 24 going to be 25 in about a month. My acne is under control now but I have some scarring on the sides of my face. I am taking Tetracycline (YOU GUYS it really worked for me) but it's something you have to keep taking (every case is different)but for myself and a friend of mine who got rid of her acne completely with tetracycline it has been the answer to our problem. Remember, acne starts from within so I figured it would be best to control in inside than work on the outside. Now I am looking into having lasers done for scar removal. Anyone have that procedure done? pls give me some feedback on it. Thank you!

I had a jesner peel done about a month ago and suprisingly I have seen good results. Previous to that I have had acne since I can remember and I found this great esthitician. She cleared up my skin fast with a product called your skin care plus. I've tried many products and also tried to find other products, but this is the best I could find so far. She prepped my skin with peels called 314's then when my skin was clear we did the jesner. The scarring has softened quite a bit and I'm not as oily anymore. I'm going to have another peel in 6 mos. to get rid of the rest of the scarring. It really changes your skin the first time its done. If you tried everything, please try the jesner peel. You won't regret it and its worth the price. About 400 bucks including an oxygen facial.

there is a new aesthitician at the hospital in which my mother works, so i get a discount (90 bucks a treatment, twice a month). she is very kind and understanding because she herself has mild acne that she controls with peels. she describes everything to me and talks to me like a human (not like at mario tricoci, a 'spa' near my house, where i went for a facial one day... horrible!) i have gone four times now and had a few different peels (cant remember what theyre called exactly) and it has made a difference overall in the red marks and existing acne. but it doesnt control the breakouts i get from time to time. and the down time is annoying (usually about a week... i get teased at work, but i guess its better than the acne). i am going for a very strong jesner peel in august... i hope it works well on the deep scars...

I have had 4 peels at 3 week intervals my skin looks worse I look Like I have aged my skin looks thin. I have more breakouts and my pores are now larger. Save your money go to the dermatlogists or buy proactive. The 5 peels cost me $550 a decade worth of proactive

Although African Americans may have an advantage on the sun, we are not so lucky when it comes to discoloration as well as acne scars.I am 20 years old i have dealt with breakouts for a really long time now, as soon as i think i"ve worked hard enough to achieve clear skin, i break out all over again. it is hard to wait for these dark spots to fade and ive tried everything from proactiv(which did help tone down bumps and pimples)to murad(buying nearly every product he put on there).

I finally got a 30% glycolic peel by a professional which definately changed the texture of my skin and added a glow, yet these darn dark spots are pretty appearant even after bleaching. I really need help on how to fade them without using my college funds. please help!!!

please...if you have acne try finacia cream and retin-a-micro. Use one during the day and one at night. Not ony does this produce the best peeling but gets fully rid of your acne. My dermatoligist insisted on tazorac, minocycline, doxy, metrogel...ect. I asked to go on these and he was amazed at the results. I have had acne for 15 years and its the only thing that got rid of it...for 6 months now and no initial breakout. I should also mention I had cystic acne along with typical acne. Also, use glycolic acid for the peels if you are going to buy any offline...they are the only ones that are affordable and very very effective.

I had the obagi blue peel (two layers)done ten days ago. I feel that the fine lines around my eyes have softened somewhat. I honestly cannot say whether it reduced the pigmentation because it was already pretty much faded after having prepped my skin six weeks prior to the peel with the Obagi Nu Derm system. Overall my skin looks a little better but definently not dramatically better. If you don't mind spending $700 Canadian for a mild improvement then it is worth it. Otherwise I would suggest saving a few more hundred dollars and opting for a package of laser treaments such as the IPL.

I did the 25% tca chemical peel on my face, it's been 6 weeks. My face looks bad. One cheek has pink in the middle,with brown spots on the edges. The other cheek looks
pink,but the skin looks bubbly not smooth and flat like I expected. How dissapointing. I look worse than before i did
the peel.I have to spend more money at the dermatologist to fix this if it doesn't improve. Use with caution, after all
it is a chemical.The best to all who have used this peel with good results.
