Hello.
I have acne since i was 15. First I only had some on my forhead, then a year later i had it under my chin, nose, and all over my cheeks.
Now Im 18 year old guy, and still with acne. My life is okay but how i get depressed is incredibile.
Because of acne i have been missing school, ( semester just started, 8 days missed ) High school.
Missed about 10 days at work. Whenever I go to school I always look in the mirror for like 20 times, while driving etc. Im obssesd with it. I can say it is getting better but only for few days and then i again, breakout and you know whats happens rest.
I have been reading a lot about acne so my regime if you can call it is:
Drink a lot of water, do not eat junk food, i take zinc, fish oil, and some detox pills.
At the morning when i wake up about 5;50am i just clear my face and then well it is hard to say it for me i put makeup on... cover girl or whatever it is.
After i get back from school and work i workout for about an hour ( started 1 week ago to realease stress...) then i put some bp on my face like i saw in dan's videos ( bp is skinid ) and then i use some moisturuse that i found in my house, some mineral kind with vitamins a,c, e.
I try not to pick the pimples but sometimes i just get mad and do it.
My face looks like this, but about 3-4 more pimples and like 5 healing and a lot of red marks. I found the pic just so I can show you what i mean.
I tried proactive, skinid, i was on antibiotics, tryied terynol and all of the clearnskin products.
Since i dont see any results the time have come to ask what should i do guys?

My dream is just to have clear skin and change my life, i have friends and eveything proboly if you would meet me you would say i dont even care about my acne but i hide all of it in my self.

Sorry, the whole post dosent have any flow becuase im in a hurry to school.
Thanks for any advices, motivation, whatever


Thank you.
ps. sorry for spelling mistakes

Hey man,

Ok , so i'm 19 ... and i too have acne and i know how depressing it can get... We both are pretty much on the same boat.. Instead of trying to cover up your acne with makeup which usually makes it worse... maybe thats the reason for ur acne being a bit more severe than what it would be.. Why don't you give it a shot... as in for Dan's regime... a lot of people have used this regime and it has worked great check the success stories.. i just started with my regime 2 days ago and i'm hoping for the best in the months to come... and another thing instead of using make up to cover it up for a day .. why dont you stop using it and use dan's regime it might clear up your acne permanently ... i'll keep you updated wit my acne condition..

See ya ...

Thanks Man
Well just to be sure, when using dans reg you put bp all over your face, then you give it some time so it absorbs through the skin and then you put moist on?

yeah man keep me updated and bro good luck ;- )

[Adi_Nayak]

Ya put the bp all over your face but make sure to check out the videos before even trying it.. You got to apply very little at the start as your skin might react if u put on too much at the start...
and btw ya after you apply the bp make sure you wait for around 10 mins then apply the moisturizer... be gentle while doing this regime too.. and ya ill keep you updated..i added you to my frnds list.. so make sure you accept it.. and hope your acne gets cleared up soon

Buh bye..

I know how you feel man, it sucks. Sometimes i hate going out in the public and find it hard to talk to people. You could dry drinking a little bit a ACV everynight, seems to have helped me a little but. Mix it with water though of course. I actually used just the proactive mask as spot treatment for awhile too and it seemed to work pretty well. Make sure it drink lots of water, it also helps. Don't get down on yourself lol.

Hey, I'm an 19 year old guy and am kind of in the same boat as you. I hate having to get up every day extra early to wash up and prepare myself =[ I hate having all my friends with perfect skin and eat shit and don't even wash etc. =[ I hate that everytime I hang out with anyone i'm embarressed that I am embarressing them!!

I wish I could tell you how to get rid of your acne but i'm still looking good luck and try not to be depressed..

Something I do is I like to look in a mirror where there isnt alot of light - kind of hides pimples and makes me feel good about myself.

im 16, im constanting researching acne treatments, diet changes, i just want to be acne-free, but it never happens, something will clear up then 3 more pimples will come out. there's so many products and methods to choose from i just feel swamped, i dont know what will help me and it just sucks. for one week i got a bit clearer and in that week i was happy, with acne i am a quiet person who doesnt draw any attention to himself, but when i was clearing up i was more social and happy, but then that week had to end now im back to being a lonely, depressed kid who feels hopeless and who's only time of comfort is when im sleeping.

Aww, you sound like such a sweet person. Anybody who looks at you and judges because of the acne is not worth your time. I may only have mild acne but I too have encountered stuff like this many times. Also, I am pretty obsessive about checking the mirror at school and they have fluorescent lights which makes the whole situation look even worse.

[helliotion]

no one judges me much, its myself who judges me, i just dont meet my expectations, even though i know that as far as acne goes i barely have any.

[Warrior of Acne]

I feel for you, no matter how clear I am, I'm always unhappy. Pretty depressing stuff huh? Well, I think we all need to just value the little things in life and not worry about the big things.
