I also have omega 369 1200 mg, omega 3 400 EPA:200 DHA, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, zinc 15mg, and probiotic supplements. I found all these at home haha. Which ones would help me the most? Because I think that is all too much to take..no?

Also, when I said that the guy looks like Josh Hartnett, I did not mean it in terms of hunky looks (like Frank*L thinks I implied). He just looks like him that's all! Sorry if I sounded arrogant/superficial. I guess when you write your sentiments sound differently.

Just wanted to say that the date went well and it was a nice feeling to forget about acne and just enjoy the company. Believe or not, I did not even admire his appearance... I was just so engrossed in the conversation that this became a secondary matter. Such an intelligent lad.

However, during our conversation, I actually did touch upon acne:

I said: "You know, *******, I am so stressed out that I get acne on my face"

He says: "I don't see anything"

Then I say: "Don't you see?? I know I wear makeup but you can still delineate"

He says: "I still won't see anything"

As a hopeless romantic, I felt really happy. I don't know if this will grow into a relationship but we are going on a date again on the weekend.

The reason why I started this date thread was to give everyone hope that we will sooner or later find someone. We should not lose hope!  I have had my share of a**holes in my life who belittled me and made me feel low. At the age of 28, I felt really down. I am still not keeping my hopes up cause God knows what will happen next but at least today made me smile.

Just wanted to write as soon as I came back.

XOXO!!!

LOL i hope he does not read this forum . I will feel really shy if he does.

My dermato didn't prescribe me any topical treatment because my skin was too irritated. I mean, I was already using Avene Diacneal and she said I should continue using it. 

So, do you guys think that milk could have affected the antibiotics effect? Or it's the late period or the stress?

PS: I'm sorry if I'm asking stupid or repeated questions, but I'm so desperate that I'm needing to vent!

Story:

    I'm a 15 year old male in the Bay Area, I started getting back acne towards the end of 8th grade and I didn't really care about it until my face starting breaking out about 15 days before high school was starting (talk about perfect timing!). I was so excited about highschool and living my life at a much better level, I started to become a ladies man and it was suppose to be perfect. Than came Acne, since than I have tried:(Acnefree, benzoyl peroxide, various creams, various home remedies, antibiotics) and after months of trying everything, nothing as worked. I've gotten depressed because of this, constant times where I'm crying in the morning or before I sleep. It had me thinking: Why can't I live my life like everyone else? Why can't I do stuff a normal 15 year old would do? The worst was that I actually had a chance with this really cute girl, who thought I was cute and she's just a best friend now but my acne ruined any chance of anything more!

    So, now a days I'm an emotionless shell, I wake up not being excited, I see people do stuff I would do without acne. I'm not even living, and it was time for Accutane, because I'm sick of all this, I want my life back. I'm going to take my first pill tomorrow morning, I'll be updating this every day for the first week or so and than I'll do it after every couple of days. I'll include my workouts,diet and any obstacles plus anything related to acne.

Currently, I wash with a Cetaphil cleanser in the morning and after shaving at night. Both times I immediately go over with Cetaphil moisturizer. Then, Aquafor on the lips both in the morning and night.

I'm curious if washing my face both in the morning and at night is too irritating for the skin. It makes me feel (psychologically) cleaner to wash twice, but it may be detrimental to my progress in curing the acne.

For those Accutane veterans out there, could you weigh in on this? Thanks.

I was considering using Milk of Magnesia because my oily skin is the only thing that's bothering me. So, how should I go about incorporating it into The Regimen?

I'm using these products so if anyone could list them in order on how I should do it would be great!

Why liver and why raw?

• Liver is one of the most concentrated sources of Vitamin A
• It contains all the B vitamins in abundance, particularly vitamin B12 if consumed raw
• It's one of our best sources of folic acid
• Contains a highly usable form of iron
• Contains trace elements such as zinc and chromium
• Liver is our best source of copper
• Rich in CoQ10, a nutrient that is especially important for cardio-vascular function if consumed raw.

This evening I ate raw liver for the first time. For palatability, I cut it in very tiny pieces and mixed it in a bowl of cooked vegetables and cooked meat. It was a tasty supper.

I'll be eating raw liver once a week with the intention of improving general health, including skin. I'll take photographs and track what benefits, if any, raw liver adds to my complexion.

Have you had any experiences with raw liver?

I am Indian. And my sideburns are really yuck.. I have tried threading them and they grew back worse than before and I broke out. I have waxed them a week back and religiously use this cream called Hovan's gold and not broken out yet. Fingers crossed.

So what have your experiences with facial waxing been.?

Also if anyone who has brown/olive skin and got laser done for their facial hair let me know about your experience. I read it can cause pigmentation issues.

Natrol 5-htp mood and relaxtion 100mg

I have been treating my acne since i turned 20. I first started with the usual otc stuff, proactive, masks, ect. Then i saw a derm and he mentioned accutane, but I was living in Santa Barbara at the time, and for anyone who knows about Isla Vista you know that being there but not drinking heavily is not really an option. So he put me on a few different creams and anti-biotics till we got to minocyclene and epiduo. I had never had clearer skin! The oil was still there but oil absorbing sheets worked wonders. So for the next 2 years i took the pills and rubbed the cream all over my face. I stopped taking the mino because my derm told me that the extended consumption of the same anti-biotic could lead to side effects, so i quit. The acne started to come back, so i decided to try intense light therapy, pdt with ala to be exact. I had a horrible reaction, and it didnt really do anything but make my skin super sensitive to epiduo. So I now had oily skin with mild acne and no real options to treat it other than accutane.

A few months after the pdt I took a trip to Germany and Iran and developed a lung infection. They gave me antibiotics there, and put me on three different ones here with no avail. I felt like because of my extended anti-biotic consumption my body was now non-responsive to them. I had read months before about doing a full body cleanse both on here and a few other sites, but never really given it much serious thought. Then one night I wasn'td out with my friends, probably because of a zit, I came across an ebook called "your last acne solution". It was 30$ and I figured why not see what its all about. So i bought it and the book talked about a full body cleanse and enemas to get the liver working at full capacity because acne is just caused by toxins stored in our body. So I did it, partially to cure the lung infection, which it did, but mostly to help my skin. 

I started to only eat organic food, went vegan, then raw, and did a juice cleanse. All while taking enzymes and clay to get rid of the toxins my body was realeasing. I also started to do oil pulling in the morning(dont waste your time). Over 3 weeks I lost 25 pounds, and turned into an angry, angry man. I definitely noticed many changes in my bodily functions, but my skin didn't improve at all. I began to introduce cooked food back into my diet, but i cut out alcohol, ALL sugar and fruit other than berries, gluten(except for sprouted grains), soy(except for sprouted soy), dairy, vinegar, and other random shit that supposedly fed "bad bacteria".  So i continued with the Dr. Hula parasite cleanse, and then did a liver/gallbladder flush complete with coffee enemas, consumptions of an insane amount of magnesium, and drinking lemon juice mixed with olive oil. I did the actual intense flushing process twice, 5 days apart. After the second one i started taking herbs to rebuild my liver, and to be honest, two weeks after the flushes my skin was perfect. It was glowing, clear, and i never had felt better in my life. But it did not last.

The oil was the first thing to come back, then the zits followed. But my skin was manageable, so I maintained the cleanse diet and experimented with way to control my acne. The best things for my skin were definitely using the oil cleansing method which i still do now, different supplements had different effect, calcium-D-glucarinate was the best, and the diet i felt really kept my acne to a minimum. I would break out at times, but it wasn't a big deal. After a year of the acne progressively coming and scaring and then leaving, I was sick of eating like a hippie, not being able to put on weight, and not being able to live life like a normal person. So after a year, which was February of this year, i got off the cleanse diet. I have to say my skin did get somewhat worse, but not so much that i would ever waste my time on that crazy of a diet.

SO here I am today, thinking about how my first pill will make me feel tomorrow. I know I have tried everything else, and I just wanna be free of acne. Accutane has worked for many of my cousins, and even my aunt when she was 24, and is now a dermatologist at Stanford hospital! I am going to try and post at least once a week, and of course whenever any big changes occur. Feel free to message me with any questions about my cleanse or whatever.

Btw, I am a trained chef and now am working toward a nutrition degree and eventually a masters in molecular toxicology. Mainly so I can really understand my body and what supplements and cleanses actually do to our bodies. I kinda treated myself like a gunea pig, but Im sure Ill live a few years longer for it.       

I just thought I'd share this with anyone who suffers from really dry, red, irritated, or inflamed skin as a result of The Regimen. It has worked well for me-- but I realize everyone responds differently, so this may or may not help you!

I have rather dry skin and almost no oil. I found that by washing my face twice a day I was drying the heck out of my skin, which was causing tons of flakiness and redness. It may have even contributed to more breakouts although it's hard to say for sure. For me, irritation generally = breakouts.

I stopped and wondered, "Why am I washing my face twice a day when my skin isn't oily? What exactly am I washing off?" I realize there is "dirt" and stuff I can't see, but washing my face so much seemed like overkill. 

So I resumed the regimen, only I completely dropped out the cleansing routine. I apply BP twice a day-- NO cleansing, and after nearly three months my skin is almost crystal clear. The only time my face gets wet is when I shave, and I shave every other day-- so basically 3-4 times a week. I don't use any cleanser, either-- just shaving cream. Lather, shave, and rinse. That's it.

I feel like cleansing can be more irritating than any topical. My hands get really dry during the winter, especially when I wash my hands a lot. I've found that I can prevent my hands from cracking and avoid eczema by limiting the amount of hand-washing. Similarly, this is how I approach my acne.

This is maybe the 3rd or 4th time I've been on The Regimen over the past 5-6 years, and I always had to previously stop because my skin would become overly irritated, red, and flakey. Sure, I wasn't getting zits-- but my complexion was horrible. My face was always pink.

So now my routine is to just apply BP in the morning at night-- that's it. And if I get any big zits or cysts, I apply a HUGE dollup of BP right on top of it-- I don't even rub it in-- I just let it sit there overnight and it seems to REALLY speed up the drying/healing process.

Maybe it is just coincidence-- maybe I am just outgrowing my acne-- I can't say for sure and I don't want to sit here and act like I know for sure. But I just wanted to share this in case anyone else 1) has a face that isn't oily but gets breakouts and 2) has skin that gets overly irritated, red, and dried-out from The Regimen. Maybe try dropping out the cleansing stage and just apply the BP-- just a thought!

Best of luck to all of you in finding something that works for you.

What gender are you and what side effects did you have?

How many mg were you taking daily?

Thank you and God bless. 

It's been 2 days since I used the cream and the redness got bit lighter but its still there.

I haven't gone outside since I used the cream and always wore suncream even at home.

So my question is will the redness completely disappear? and approx how long will it take to disappear?

Fraxel laser: 6 treatments, currently 6 months post the last treatment

Overall: Was worth it, scars look less deep (almost surface level, which was not the case last year), but scars are still there. Cost me under $4K.

Injectable filler: Led led to a crater effect which emphasized the scars more (made them puffy and swollen looking), the only benefit was that they looked softer, which faded out in a few 2-3 months.

Overall: It was ineffective, and a huge waste of money. If it was effective however, I would have zero hesitation in spending $5K a year on refills if it guaranteed me good results.

What else is left for me? Of course, I've been told by many to "move on", which is appearing to be my only real option at this time. I have ruined the majority, if not all of my youth due to this (and the acne before it left scars). I haven't had active acne for years, not since accutane at 19. I am going to be 23 at the end of this year.

I have tried using hand lotion, sunscreen, and contemplated makeup, but they all produce an effect similar to the injectable fillers: they overemphasize the scars and make it look like I "did something to cover them up but failed". So none of the temporary methods are viable. 

I have already given up (never started) on socializing and dating, but my fear is these scars hurting me professionally. I can't grow a large beard (stubble doesn't hide it) since it's a white collar environment, I have never been good at job interviews, and this can only hold me back further, but what can I do?

Pictures attached of left (temple and upper cheek) and right (temple and mid-upper cheek). The left is by far worse, in all the pictures I have taken. Right is much softer, if my left looked like the right, I wouldn't be worried.

Also, I noticed that the time of the day and maybe blood flow impacts the appearance. The redness (after shower etc) is worse than the scars themselves. That's why I'm going to shower and shave in the evening before work in the morning, to avoid being red in front of others.

So though my skin doesn't look too terrible, it is definitely persistant and I'm really at the end of my rope for clearing my skin. The last time I was comfortable going out without foundation was the seventh grade!

Also, for accutane in Canada what's the price range?

Firstly, I want to thank Tracey from The Love Vitamin for giving me the ideas that have helped me manage my acne. Check out her website--it's a great resource!

My Struggle With Acne

So my story is that I started out with some acne in my teen years.  My Ob-gyn put me on the pill when I was 16 (which I now believe was a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE idea--please don't ever take artificial hormones especially when you're still growing). It helped with the acne but messed me up in other ways.

Once I got off the pill, the acne came back and at some point I started using proactiv to clear the acne. This seemed to help somewhat but I would still get pimples here and there, especially around my period. It never occurred to me that my lifestyle may have something to do with it even though the times I remember my skin being at its best were the times when I was living a relatively stress-free lifestyle and getting lots of sleep. 

Over time, I fell for all the cosmetics advertising and by the time I was 25 I was using a fairly harsh face-wash + scrub TWICE A DAY followed by proactive repairing lotion and a moisturizer with all kinds of chemicals in it. (When I think back on it now I shudder!)

The only reason I started re-thinking any of this is because I became allergic to some of the cosmetics I was using (I still don't know specifically which ones).  In my struggle to stop my eyes from burning all the time I stopped using everything (except concealer which I still use to hide the fading acne scars despite being mildly allergic to it--hopefully I can stop using that one day as well).

When I stopped using proactive (and everything else) my face went crazy and I would get tons of acne everywhere--it was very embarrassing and I barely left the house if I could help it.  I tried all kinds of natural products--turmeric, manuka honey (and I discovered I was mildly allergic to honey and it made the acne worse), jojoba oil, coconut oil, oil-cleansing, etc.  None of it worked all that well.

Eventually, about 3 months later, things came together and my skin started getting better.  Partly I think my skin just needed that long to recover from all the harsh chemicals I had been using on it. But partly it had to do with 2 things I started doing around that time: eating lots of fruits and vegetables and decreasing the carbs I was eating; and second, implementing a pseudo-caveman regimen.

Regarding my diet, I'm vegetarian and therefore my diet wasn't "paleo" in its true sense.  I just started eating a lot more nutrition-dense food items and decreased (but not eliminated) carbs.  I also significantly decreased my intake of dairy and soy.  I still ate cheese but somehow the diet still worked for me.  I also started taking a few supplements at the time: Vegan Omega-3 (called Ovega-3), a food-based multi-vitamin (Megafood), and zinc here and there.

The pseudo-caveman regimen which I started around the same time started with about a month of not washing my face as much as possible with some washing with water only to remove concealer (which I wore very little of and only where I had scars). I had some peeling/dry skin issues and a not terribly noticeable dead skin mask as others have described. After a month I took off the dead skin with some oil (can't remember what oil--either EVOO or Jojoba oil). 

The combination of diet and the "Touch and wash as little as possible" regimen helped clear off my cheeks, forehead, and most of my face (though I still had and have pretty bad red scars).  However, my chin and jawline still got cystic acne on a regular basis and I just could not get rid of it.  I noticed it got worse right before my period and realized it must be a hormonal thing.

The thing that finally helped clear up that last bit of cystic acne (and solved all of my PMS symptoms) was a supplement called Diindolymethane.  The one I use is DIM-Plus from Nature's Way.  Now I don't think this on its own could have solved my acne issues but I do think it helped A LOT.

I still have a lot of scars and redness so if anyone has tips on getting rid of that faster, please let me know! For now I am letting it fade and using MSM Cream here and there (but I think I may be allergic to that too--I have a lot of allergies to cosmetics).

My current acne management system is as follows:

Diet: Low-carb; Lots of good fats (avocado, coconut oil); Lots of leafy greens (green smoothie every day!); Fruits and Vegetables; I still have some sugary treats here and there without any adverse reaction; Very little dairy with the exception of cheese; Some soy here and there; Lots of vitamin C rich foods or supplements; Only coconut oil or olive oil for cooking (to reduce omega-6 intake); Other nuts and seeds to get minerals; Sea salt only; Also I try to swallow one or two cloves of chopped raw garlic every day with water (read up on the benefits of garlic--also read up on who shouldn't eat too much of it)

Supplements: DIM-Plus one a day (increasing to twice a day in the week or two before my period--you have to adjust dosage based on your body's cues--don't take too much just because it says to on the bottle--start slow and build up or down based on the time of the month); Ovega-3 (one a day with fat); Zinc (as zinc picolinate); Vitamin-D+K in winter and here and there in the warmer months (this gets stored in your body so no need to take every day); Vitamin C here and there; I've stopped taking a multi-vitamin regularly and take it only when I feel like I haven't eaten that well on a given day; 

Sleep: I've realized that sleep has a HUGE impact on my general well-being and on acne. Not just duration though I need 8 to 9 hours to feel optimal, but the time during which I sleep has had an impact on my acne.  For instance, I always feel better if I can get to bed by 11 than if I go to sleep after midnight but sleep for the same amount of time.  I think the routine of going to bed earlier is also important for my body and acne. Good sleep habits have also helped the redness and scarring decrease significantly (may be something to try for rosacea sufferers). To help me get to sleep early, I turn off the t.v. a half hour before I want to sleep and either read something relaxing on my kindle or my computer (which has the program f.lux installed to prevent the blue backlight from interfering with my sleep--look it up, it's free). I also have a sound machine (Ecotones) which I turn on a half hour before I go to sleep.  Dimmed/soft lighting helps a lot too and I wear a sleep mask once I'm ready to go to sleep. Seems like a lot but each thing helps me a ton.

Stress Management: This is also very important I've realized.  I've recently taken up yoga which I love! I haven't seen specific results from the yoga as far as acne but it seems to help me sleep better which as I described is a huge factor in my acne. Going out in the sun also seems to help my stress levels (and definitely my Vitamin D levels).  I have tanned skin so do this at your own risk if you sun-burn or are pale. 

Other perhaps unrelated lifestyle changes I've made recently include giving up all chemicals as much as possible.  I don't use shampoo or conditioner anymore.  I use coconut oil to condition and use a white vinegar rinse here and there to remove buildup.  I also don't wash my hair too frequently (probably twice a week which I'm trying to bring down to once a week).  I use soap very sparingly and use EVOO to moisturize my body.  For my face I don't use anything but water and the Jane Iredale Magic Mitt washcloth.  Occasionally I'll use a tiny amount of olive oil with a cotton ball to moisturize my face.  I still use a MAC concealer which I apply with a brush but trying to wean myself off that as soon as these scars fade. As I mentioned, I use the MSM cream here and there to try to help the scars fade but I've found that leaving my skin alone seems to do a lot more than putting on MSM cream.

That's all I can think of for now but I've come to believe that non-drug and non-chemical methods can be 100% effective.  Don't underestimate the effect of lifestyle changes!

I did have similar acne on my chest and back before, in the days when my skin was the worst, but this one bothers me quite bit. I have trouble moving my neck, kinda feels like my whole neck is stiff as rock.

I've been told that no topical can help against ones like those, in my experience that i agree with that. Maybe you could give me an advice what I could do to shrink the swelling.

Whilst I'm here and asking. Has anybody used the BHA 2% gel? If so how did that work out for you? (I ask too many questions!)

I'm at the end of my tether. It's either this, the regimen (again) or going to my GP for low-dost accutane (which I would not want).

I couldn't even give people eye contact today and kept my head down the whole way home. I also walked straight into one of my non-serious crushes with three juicy pustules on my face. Typical.

Went a little off track there. Yeah, if you use PC products, how have they worked out for you?  

Now i've battled with acne for so many years its depressing to think am going to battle with it any longer does anybody feel the same? Milk is apparently from the research i've been doing online is one of the main causes of acne! This is what your dermatologist or any of these corps won't tell you because a cured customer is no customer!! Do you honestly think they haven't got a cure for acne? Its a multiple billion $ a year business do you know how many businesses would go bust. I've realized these quinoderms(which am on now and my skins as dry as ash) and duacs,face washes etc are all temporary they just want you to keep buying man seriously if i stopped this quinoderm i'll break out so bad it would scare the life out of Dracula lool.

They are studies all over google pointing the finger at milk! I've cut milk out of my diet now for a month and i see positive results not incredible but its evidently working. I am purchasing this holistic approach teaching about acne like healing power of water, diet ,exercise and environment. I will post about the results as the claim is bold "if it don't work in 60 days have you money back" kinda of claim and the testimonials on there look viable loads of before and after pictures and vocal testimonies hmmm keep in touch follow me or whatever and i'll tell you how its going i wont recommend it at the moment as i haven't tried it but i'll let you know how it goes.

It actually seems to be making her skin worse! Spots/bumps still appearing along with dry rough skin and patches of redness.

We expected the dryness but could live with that if the skin was generally improving!

If she doesnt useit for a couple of nights and just sticks to Effaclar Duo it looks better.

Wondering if she should change to Epiduo which dermatologist did also suggest. Does anyone have experience of both?

Today I bought Ultraclear on Amazon (good reviews, ?hype??) we are literally clutching at straws!

After some discussion I am going to just increase my BP dosage.  I have been using about 3/4 to 1 pump for my whole face which feels like a ton already while the regimen actually recommends 2.  We will see what happens using 2 pumps.

Other info:

I'm also taking a 50mg Zinc supplement which I started taking almost a week ago.

I apologize if what was said by him was offensive but now I get a message from the moderator that "he could have never imagined that I would stop so low".

Sorry moderators, but I am 28 years old and no I would never stoop so low to create a duplicate account to defend myself.

This is my last time posting on this forum.

Thank you to everyone who was supportive of me yesterday.

I wish you all the best.

I did not want it to end this way but I guess I would rather go than "carry warning points" or being accused of "stooping so low".

I will particularly miss ibiza87! Love you girl and all the best to you!

Thanks.

I guess kirklands brand (costco one) is safe?

• Works really well and doesn't dehydrate my skin significantly. I think this is the only product that I bought right. 

• This is the only 2.5% I could find in Vancouver, but considering the amount you get for the price it's pretty expensive  I also doubt the effectiveness of this product because everytime I use this gel I get really obvious red marks on my face and skin peeling.

• This moisturiser has caused some breakouts now and then and it's just not enough for my skin. I can apply this twice on the same area on my face but my skin will still get dry after a while. Also, I don't think this moisturiser do well when it's used with Benzagel® Spot On.

The thread can be seen here if you wanna see how bad my zits got: http://www.acne.org/messageboard/topic/328081-severe-jawline-acne-pics-help/

Anyways, my doctor put me on Accutane 20mg/day, differin, and clindamycin liquid. Cleared up pretty quick and most of it is gone now. My skin is pretty smooth and back to normal. Even though I felt depressed and strange for quite some time, it was well worth it in my opinion.

Now my skin is full of pink and brown marks from blood clots underneath the skin and popping some annoying zits.

What can I use to speed up the process of getting rid of the marks and growing new looking skin?

Would differin help with that? I read that differin gets rid of the outer layer skin.

What about Retin-A-Micro? I read that gets rid of outer layer aswell.

Should I exfoiliate aswell?

What would be an example of a regimen to follow to rid these scars quick. Thanks.

I know food interacts with different people differently so please don't respond with something along those lines, if you can please share any knowledge that you may have on the questions. Thanks a bunch.

How much could it possibly cost them to make a 60g tube of Tazorac? A couple of dollars? I am so infuriated right now.

Does anybody have experience purchasing from other countries into the USA?

I want to thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart for helping me today. I don't know how the date will go but at least I had the guts to say yes. I will just try my best ignore my acne  at least until Thursday.

All the very best to you all!!!

XOXO!!!

I feel like this is counter-intuitive. I've read studies saying that stress can slow the healing of wounds, and I've experienced plenty of side effects from stress over the last year and a half. 

So does stress really have an effect on the skins healing? Or am I just stressing out about my stress levels for no reason. I was thinking of starting a meditation routine to clear my head

I purchase the purity farms brand, but they feed the cows grains.

Here's some positive feedback for the regimen!

Quick question.. today is exactly two months for me being on the Regimen. I still have red scaring/spots, but I am also having a severe breakout of whiteheads daily on my chin. I keep having a vicious cycle of trying to clear the whiteheads and the red spots with both BP and AHA. I don't know if one or the other is making the area worse or not. I was just wondering if other people are having a similar problem or have any advice. I told myself I would stick with the Regimen for the complete 3months, but it's getting frustrating that i'm not getting a break from the whiteheads or the red spots/scaring,

The problem is, there are so many added ingredients to supplements, and I assume it would be ideal to find supplements with the least amount of added ingredients
