I just did the peel, I'm using this one: http://www.amazon.co...f=cm_cr_pr_pb_t

I did two layers, each 1 minute, for a total of two minutes. When I finished I applied Neosporin. I'll update on the results!

I know this kid that has the worst acne/scars that I've ever seen, he loves life, pretends he has nothing, is always cheerful, and everyone loves him. It all has to do with personality, maybe acne was a way for us to see that. I'd much rather know someone who is sweet and kind and has acne, than someone who has perfect skin but is a rude and immature person. Trust me when I say that everyone thinks this way. At least the people who matter.

I love to think of this verse when I'm down: 1 Samuel 16:7

"But the LORD said to Samuel, 'Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.'"

It's from this forum that I learned how rude people are. No one in my school has ever straight out made fun of someone or even looked remotely strange at someone with acne, even if it is severe. I've seen stories on here that are ridiculous.

Anyway,

Have any of you tried this?

It's really been helping, along with:

Guys, if you don't look people in the eyes you will stand out. Just like what you said, if the girl had had a smile on her face, you wouldn't have noticed. I know several people that have severe acne and are still smiling all the time and don't even care. No one else does either and I don't even notice their skin because they are genuinely nice people. By looking down and acting weird, we only draw attention to ourselves. I know it's difficult but I challenge and triple dare myself to look people straight in the eye as if i'm not scared of anything in the world, and it works.

There are too many real problems in the world for you to be merely tormented by acne. It's not worth it! I know plenty of people who have acne and are very social and people love them for their personalities. I also know other people who have great skin and yet are miserable. The less you look at it or think about it, the less people will notice. You aren't insane, I highly doubt it. You just need to regain hope in life, because there is always something to live for. I suggest you go to a psychologist nonetheless, but you should also strive to get a job (or something to occupy yourself with). If you start to set goals, you'll see that there's a lot you can accomplish. Even if you don't know what you're working towards, if you work hard (in achieving those goals) you'll soon find that all the other little strings fall together.

I know this isn't the site to preach (and my name sort of gives it away ), but my greatest advice to you is to seek God. If all else has failed you and you wouldn't mind dying, what will you lose? I've never felt better about my life, my skin, or my faith than when I read the bible. It's not about religion. It just makes you feel better, I promise. Hopefully you don't take my words in vain and you see this post and give it a try. I know that if you are completely atheist, reading this just seems like a bunch of crap, but listening and following this couldn't possibly make you feel worse. From your post, I can tell that all you really need is some faith back in your life, because it just seems like you don't care about anything and everything is meaningless.

You say you're not very emotional, you just need to learn to accept who you are. We are all different; some of us are loud, crazy, quiet, shy, impulsive, and some of us are tranquil. It's fine! It's just your personality. However, just because you adjust it a bit won't change who you are. TRY to be more relaxed. I highly highly highly doubt that your skin is as bad as you make it out to be. Why? Well, I've seen far too many posts on here with the same story, then the person posts pictures, and the skin isn't as bad as they tell it. You just criticize yourself far too much. Stop avoiding who you are, just because you have pimples & scars doesn't mean you are a monster. Each of us has a different flaw, some are fat, some are super tall or short, or whatever...you just have acne. Nothing to die about. Your symptoms: asexuality, being asocial and all that, are simply a result of finding no meaning in life. Those traits aren't your own, so stop letting them control you. And, just because you are a less emotional than others doesn't make you weird. I really hope you find at least one sentence in this freakishly long post helpful, because it took a while.

Just, please go to a doctor, so that this doesn't take over your life. Even if it's a cliche, life is way too short to spend it so miserable. You, as weird  and different as you see yourself, have a purpose and just because you haven't found it yet doesn't mean you aren't accomplishing it. God bless, *stop worrying so much*.

READ THIS: "But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint...Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
