^ I think Cameron Diaz's skin has improve a lot, possibly due to accutane as many have rumored (& which I am inclined to believe). I saw her in that movie "The Holiday" and her skin did actually look nice. I have seen movies where her skin was pretty bad, even under heavy makeup & good lighting, so she must have gotten it under control somehow.

My friend went to a fashion show that Britney attended. According to him she wore "buckets of paint" on her face. Now I can see why.

Looking through this thread really helped me feel better and made me realize how yeah acne stinks but look how much we hold ourselves up to high high physical beauty standards. We all know that outward appearance and so on should not be held high at all compared to what is inside but we all do it. It understandable and ok to be concerned and atleast not want to have bad acne but when you realize that other suffer with it too or other suffer with even worse things you can really be thankful for what you do have in your life. I think one of the biggest stress relievers over acne is to realize our skin is far far from the most important things about us.

Where did you get such flawed information about AA saying they didn't get acne? I've never heard that EVER.

Alicia Keys





Ashlee Simpson

Alicia looks absolutely stunningly beautiful in that picture.

So many black stars on this thread, and "they" say black people don't get acne!! Grhh makes em angry. LOL

Britney has joined the site - search for her name and she is there!

[MrHelper]

wow, I never expected to see these celebs with acne. I thought they were perfect..
It makes me feel better until I go out in the real world and see that, most of the people here doesn't seem to have it.

Yeah it was sad earlier, but Johnny Depp has got nasty acne scars. If you watch "Fear And Loathing" and pause it during the close ups, you can see really nasty scars on his cheeks. Also, on one of the documentaries for Pirates of the Carribean, he's at Disneyland without makeup, and got a lot of them around his cheeks and chin.

I still think he's a superb actor though.

I still think he's a superb actor though.

Agreed!!! He's the best, I love him - clear skin or flawed, I'll take him any day (and I'm married!)

[madhoyden]

Wow. Britney Spears' skin on the very first pic looks way worse than mine. And to think that there used to be all these teenage boys jacking off to her. I guess that's why her face and Camaron Diaz's always looked kind of off to me in magazine because of all the makeup.

I'm kind of surprised by Kiera Knightley because her skin always looked so perfect. Now looking at one of the pics on here, the skin of her forehead reminds me of mine. And I still think she's absolutely beautiful.

Anyhow, thanks for the post. My self confidence had been dropping lately because of my skin, which isn't all that bad but bad enough to make me feel horrible. It's good to be reminded that one could be gorgeous and still have acne.

Carmen Electra suposedly has bad skin too.

Swanni's 10 Stars With Bad Skin in HDTV!
When seen on the tube in crystal-clear high-def, these 10 celebs need a tube of Clearasil.
By Phillip Swann

Washington, D.C. (January 28, 2006) -- Do you think you know which Hollywood stars have beautiful skin?

Well, you may be wrong.

High-Definition TV, which offers a picture up to six times clearer than regular TV, allows you to see the stars as they look in real-life. And because the picture offers such incredible detail, you soon notice that some "beautiful" celebrities have terrible skin problems.

Acne. Pockmarks. Rosacea. Blackheads. Whiteheads. Some Hollywood stars have them in abundance but have been able to shield them from the public with everything from flattering lighting to airbrushed photos to on-screen digital effects.

Yes, just because Hollywood says a star is flawless doesn't make it so. Or, at least, not as flawless as his or her agent want us to believe. In HDTV, the ultimate reality television, the truth is revealed -- whether they like it or not.

So, here are the 10 stars who have the worst skin, as seen in High-Definition TV:


1. Brad Pitt
America's favorite male heartthrob would give some females a heart attack if they saw him in real-life. The Oceans 11 star has deep pockmarks in his cheeks, the result of a long-time acne problem. His name may be Pitt, but his face is a crater.

I saw that a skin specialist recently said that his new squeeze Angelina Jolie has a skin problem. This guy obviously doesn't have high-def. Jolie's skin is beautiful except for that large mole over her right eyebrow. In high-def, it looks like Mt. Everest.

2. Jennifer Aniston
If there were ever two people in Hollywood made for each other, it's Jen and Brad. Like her ex-husband, Ms. Aniston's cheeks are filled with pockmarks. They say married people start to look like each other after several years. Perhaps if he stays with Angelina, Brad will eventually lose the pockmarks and gain a mole over his right eyebrow.

3. Cameron Diaz
The actress has had a terrible acne problem since high school; her cheeks and forehead are littered with pockmarks and other blemishes. And it doesn't seem to get better. Now in her 30s, Ms. Diaz's face still has more breakouts than six episodes of Fox's Prison Break.


4. Maria Sharapova
The 19-year-old tennis star is very cute, but she's 19, an age at which the Almighty wants us to suffer a little. (It's the price you have to pay for being 19.) In high-def, Ms. Sharapova's face is covered with small, red pimples. (Of course, you never see them in fashion and advertising photos, such as the one above. The Great Almighty's work is erased by the Great Airbrush.) Hopefully, she will conquer the teenage affliction just as she conquers her opponents on the court.

5. Madonna
The Material Girl should reinvent herself as the Moisturizing Girl. Her face is dried up as if she hasn't had a glass of water in years.

6. Renee Zellweger
Like Ms. Sharapova, the Chicago star is a cutie but she looks like she has a bad Rosacea problem; it's very visible in high-def. There are large red spots on her cheeks and forehead.


7. Kurt Russell
The Miracle star would need a miracle surgeon to fix the sun damage on his face. There are more rough patches than in a typical Hollywood marriage.

8. Ray Liotta
Okay, even in non-HDTV, you can tell that the veteran actor doesn't exactly have the smoothest skin in town. His cheeks even have more holes than the plot of his latest movie.

9. Frankie Muniz
For the last few years, the Malcolm in the Middle star has had to suffer his teen acne on national television.

10.. Tommy Lee Jones
He's got it all. Blackheads. Whiteheads. Acne scarring. The Coal Miner Daughter star looks like he's been in a coal mine ever since he made that 1980 film.

Here's one of Johanson but she looks really young.

This picture has totally been photoshopped.

Even though I have seen pictures of Scarlett Johanssen with pimples, they were nowhere as bad as this. In addition, I seriously doubt she would go to an event without makeup covering her blemishes.

[Becka]

It's funny...I'm always jealous of celebrities' money...I figure if I had that kind of money, I could go to the best dermatologists and spas in the world and my skin would be the awesomest. Apparently not.
This link is to a Dove ad from a few months ago which shows the entire process of transforming a regular person into a glamourous star through makeup, airbrushing, and other photoshop effects. When you see perfect stars in magazines and on TV and movies, be aware that most of what you see is a lie!

Yeah the picture of Scarlett johansen or whatever her name is...is fake. It's from a site that purposely tries to make the celebrities 'ugly'. Someone posted it before I think in this exact thread...sad huh...

[Aubrey87]

Sorry for double posting but I found another site on celebrity acne...not sure if anyones posted it yet.
