I am happy to report that my skin has been very well behaved since my last entry in December. By following the Clear Skin Diet my skin has stayed clear and I have not experienced any deep pimples. I had a few very small bumps on my cheeks but I know I need to use a strong cleanser with 2% salicylic acid to keep me clear. Diet appear...

Accutane every 7 years
I am off Spironolactone - yay! My skin looks great - I am still on the clear skin diet consisting of no dairy or processed foods and Diane 35 for about 18 months now. I am so happy it is working.
So I have been traveling around South East Asia and my skin on my trip has never been better. The humidity works for me and I forgot to take Spiro consistently while I was away. I was in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand and it was hot, hot, hot - I sweated all day and honestly I did not break out once. I have reduced my spiro to 25mg, 3 times a week and I...
So my skin is looking very good - ever since I started the clear skin diet I have not had one deep pimple. Not one. I had some tiny, tiny bumps along my jaw line but it could be KP as my derma said but I am just being overly picky - my skin is glowing and people notice. My co-worker said I look air brushed. Eating clean makes a huge difference - there...
My skin is very much responding to the Clear Skin Diet - noticably clearer and no deep pimples that need extraction. I am on Diane 35 and 25mg of Spiro. My skin is in much better condition than it has been for a long time.
Sorry I have not posted any updates. I cannot believe I am on Day 58 of Aldactone - I started with 50 mg for the first 30 days and I found that I was too dehydrated. I read several reviews on acne.org and makeupalley.com and most ladies taking the medication decrease their dosage when the side effects are too harsh. So starting in month two I knocked my...
Aldactone in Canada - so my skin has been reasonably good. No deep spots since I stopped with Retin A just a few small bumps around my jaw line. My doctor is amazed that my skin is not clear yet. I refused to go back on Retin A because it never worked for me - EVER! in the past 20 years of dealing with Acne - Retin A never worked for me.
The only...

So, my skin is getting better and better. I feel like I am jinxing myself by saying this but I have to share. So I stopped the Acne cure program because my skin cleared up and it is a bit of a hassle of icing and drying your face out with BP. I use BP once or twice a week as a spot treatment right now. I have not gotten any deep sore pimples for awhile...
So I am off Vitamin A Cream and I am using the "Acne Cure Method" which is BP and ice and it is working. My face is clear - I have a few small spots on my left jaw line but they are fading, my right side is completely clear. Vitamin A Cream does not work for me and I will not forget. I am hoping I am taking the turn for the better.
So I decided to go off the low dose Accutane even on 10mg my skin was dry and my lips we getting unbearably dry. I knew I didnt want to be on Accutane again which this round could be considered the fourth time on the drug. So, I remembered I broke out after the last time I finished Tane back in 2005 - I controlled the break out with BP and used the...
My skin is much better than before but I still have a few bumps on my right jawline. I had a few drinks last night and I paid the price today - do not drink on low dose Tane. I asked my doctor and he said it was fine but for me - I feel like I have been hit by a truck. I am hoping for clearer skin soon.
So my skin has really improved in 5 days. All the bumps around my jawline are clearing up nicely and I the oil production is way down. My lips are dry but not uncomfortably and Aquaphor is doing the trick. So hopefully within two weeks my skin will be clear but my question is "what is next for me?" I can't be on Tane forever - I eventually...
So I went to see my doctor on Friday and I wished I could say it was all in my mind but it is not and he agreed that the oil was coming back far too fast and I had a lot of bumps and white heads on my face. He said my acne is hormonal (duh?) and that low dose Tane will clear it up and we can decide next steps from there. So I started lose dose tane on...
So I still have bumps on my jaw line and a few whiteheads on my cheeks. I also have some mild acne on my right shoulder something I have never experienced before. I have stopped Retin A and I am using BP on my face at night. I cannot believe after my third and most terrible Accutane experience I am not clear. 80mg a day and currently weigh less than 50kg...
So my skin is getting better but I still have these small tiny bumps near my jaw line and a few small bumps on my cheeks. When I wear makeup nothing is really visible but I can feel them. I am using Vitamin A Acid 0.05% at night and it doesn't seem to be helping these tiny spots. I have never been a fan of Vitamin A but my Dermatologist insists I...
I went to the Dermatologist to have another pimple extracted that is 2 in 2 two weeks. I am gutted, and sick of acne! My doctor started bantering about low dose Accutane 10mg a day then to be weened off to one pill a week. Are you kidding me?! What is the point, I am in my early 30's and would hate to think my option for clear skin is low...
So I went to the dermatologist this morning, he told me to return the Clarisonic stat - I will. I stopped using it for a week and intend to never use it again. So my cheeks are covered with tiny white heads and then I had two sore spots that needed to be injected. This is so disappointing after a killer course of Accutane and then to break out three...
So I am three months post tane and my skin has been pretty good. I woke up with a pimple on my right cheek - small enough to hide but big enough to have extracted. I also bought a Clarisonic and it was too exfoliating for my skin combined with Vitamin A cream - some people love it - I am luke warm about it. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow to...
My skin is clear but I have a tiny, tiny whiteheads on my cheeks. I am going to the Dermatologist to find out why - I have two more weeks on Obagi and my hyperpigmentation is significantly lighter almost gone. Obagi is a 12 week program so I will be glad to be done - I am looking a bit pale and have been loading up on the brozner and blush to give me some...
Not much to report my skin is as clear as can be. I had one small pimple on my left cheek but it went away. The Obagi is working very well and is lightening up my hyperpigmentation. I am using Retin A every night and I am on Diane 35.
