Dear ALL
I am a 27yr-ol african american woman suffering from acne since 13. i have horrible oily skin and many dark marks from popping. Now, I recently noticed that i was allergic to alcohol after a horrible flair of acne on my face. i took out cafeine and all unnatural foods. i started googling and asking everyone. i had seen my ex boyfriend who smirked and said " whats wrong with your face, cause this is bad". I got another commnet like that from a guy at a coffee shop and decided to get help. I went to get birth control pills( something fem) and then read about the success of olay regerinist regime, i bought the scrub and night cream and deep hydration. i have been on this combination 1 week now, and decided i would log in at acne.org and keep a progress sheet and hopefully get some support.

So far, my face is ok, not as bumpy but still raw from the previous acne and i still need to cover up the black marks. i hate make up but becasue i work, i feel like people dont want to even talk to me because of my skin. im seriously depressed...

Wow, that's terrible of your ex to say something like that. We all have people like that in our lives unfortunately. I can definitely relate to the depression side of acne too. I no longer go outside, if I can avoid it. The extent of damage acne does is huuuge isn't it?? I really hope your regimen works out for you, and that you can hold your head up high again soon! Can't wait to read/see the progress
