Minocycline induced hyperpigmentation

Did anybody else get this while taking the drug? I only took it for 2 weeks on 75mg x2 day and developed a blue-greyish patch on my cheek. Now the doctor told me it would fade, but I want to know if anyone elses has faded yet!!!

water only method

i want to prove to some people that putting soo much shit on your face can just make things worse.

I have mild acne.. blackheads nose on my, a couple white heads, and sometimes i get 1 cyst every now and then

my skin tone is what sucks rite now, so this is what im really looking to improve.


ok so here we go!

Day 1 aka 10 minutes ago: Splashed lukewarm water on my face, then splashed cold water.



No change haha.. as expected

If you have mild acne/red marks

I have been using AHA recently for a while now and it works wonders!! its evening out my skin tone, evening out my rough texture, and fading my red marks. If your like me and have bought everything that you can find for mild acne, trust me this works wonders. My regimen consists of:

Morning and night:
-Wash with AHA Nourishing Cleanser
--8% or 10% AHA exfoliating cream
---Olay Complete spf 15- sensitive skin for morning, Olay replenishing night cream at night.

the products I use are a product called alpha hydrox. I just ordered the 12% souffle so i'll let you know how that goes!

Thank You acne.org!

THANK YOU! i've been on the kit for a little over a week and my skin feels great! at first i thought this site was a joke like proactiv... until i seached around and actually saw that you guys put a lot of time and effort in finding the right things and steps to clear acne. This has worked way better than proactiv and i cant wait to buy more from you.. with the products you have given me and the community boards for acne related information, you have changed my life! and i say community boards becuase it was here i found out about the ACV toner and it has totally helped my red marks. Thanks again! woo-hoo!!

For the people that are skeptical about acv/baking soda

ummm.. all i gotta say is its amazing! i was a skeptic at first tooo. i did half water half avc and wow my face looks awesome.. its working soo good to fade red marks!

the steps i followed were

1. wash face with a cleanser that doesnt have SA, BP.. none of that.

2. apply baking soda and water to make it a toothpaste form. message for 15-20 sec. then rinse immediately!

3. wait 3 min. apply half acv and half water..maybe a little bit more water. let it sit for 8-10 min.

4. rinse off with lukewarm water.

5. wait 5 min apply bp ( mine was proactiv)

6. wait 12-15 min.. apply moisturizer... mine is the proactiv moisturizer.

*** make sure you dont get the acv directly by the eye.. it seems like it makes me red and it burns a little when i get too close.. but it subsides in the morning.

*** i do it at nite only too.
