Acne.org Products
At the end of day one of a three day festival. I'm sat in my tent having just washed with water and used cleansing wipes. Guess that's my regimen for the next few days. No active acne which is a bonus. Think it's still fine after day one, hard to tell in the dark using a torch and a small mirror! 
well finally i can say..i feel GOOD about my skin..has been such a terrible rollercoaster ride last few months, but i can finally say..i feel good! have had no new breakouts for abt 3 weeks, and my redmarks have been disappearing..i havent felt this good for like a year..i still live in fear of course, but right now..i feel gooood...and since all my posts seem to be sad, im happy im posting something happy...at the age of 44, i reallllly hope i have found some kind of "cure"...but im also apprehensive as can be..but im glad i can post something positive for a change..lol
To the person who said "I want to sue life" earlier in this thread, you couldn't be thinking more similarly to me.
Had this clump of cystic acne pop up on my chin about three weeks ago and it still isn't leaving me alone..resorting to hydrogen peroxide to kill the little shits, I just couldn't stand the feeling I ahd when I woke up at my boyfriend's house and tried to hide my face from him 
Other than that, I guess I feel okay...PIH always gettin' me down, but I think that's the same for pretty much everybody here. Just gotta keep on ging I guess? 
Honestly, why don't they just hurry up and come up with some miracle cure for us all? I swear I'd give them everything I own, just to get rid of this awful stuff.
I stopped using any acne products for a few days since I was swtching from using BP/Salylic Acid to a regimen with Sulfacetamide and Retin A. After 1 day of trying the sulfacetamide lotion 10% my chin has like 12 whiteheads on it. It looks so hideous. I am just starting out though, so hope it improves soon.
Pretty good today actually. I had a hideous breakout last week all over neck, neck, mouth, left cheek, and top of forehead that is finally looking better. Now they're almost all just little red marks which look better than pimples sticking out of me everywhere.
I plan on starting Dan's regimen this week if it arrives. Hopefully I don't get one of these breakouts again when I start it as it just makes me want to hide from everyone.
Pre-period breakouts are some of the worst, I think i'm gettin that now. ugh it's awful.
That's what I'm going through, and then some other, different, new kind of breakout for me. My goodness, will it never, ever end?
Yaz, you suck!
Ah I was on Yaz too but the estrogen in them would give me migraines so I went off of that and onto a progesterone only pill, worst thing ever! My acne was cleared up on Yaz and shortly going off it flared up I now have cysts and spots all over my chin and jaw 
Happy almost birthday!
Is anyone else like this? ... I seem to break out only on the left side of my face now, my right side is pretty clear. I thought maybe it's just recently but looking at my scars, I have more on the left. How weird!? -- and annoying.
Which side do you sleep on/ what side do you hold your phone up to when you talk? That could be part of the problem, try disinfecting your phone?
Hm.. I don't use the phone much. When I sleep, I sleep on my stomach so I may be sleeping on some side more. Interesting.
On another note, I looked at some photos from roughly a year ago and my face was sooo broken out, I had no idea. So many bumps and redness - I mean in the moment I did know, but now I guess I forgot - I'm glad it has calmed down. Makes me feel better about my slight breakout.
I feel a bit stressed about a break out on my right cheek as because my skin is starting to clear up, it seems really awful! I know that the regimen is starting to work for me though and it has gotten better overall, so I'm trying to keep stress levels to a minimum. (: Keep smiling & ignoring it is working so far.
That's the way to go, Jess! 
I find it's always a bit of a rollercoaster really. When my skin is good, I look back and think how my acne wasn't a big deal and how I was getting stressed about nothing, and that if I did break out again, it wouldn't be a big deal at all. So there's this really positive high.
Then when it does break out, I totally withdraw from everything and hate the way I look and feel like it defines me. So then there's a really negative low.
Polar opposites going from one extreme to the other, and my frame of mind does the same. Can't really be a good thing. I suppose the way to go instead is to try and find a happy medium and get into that frame of mind where we think, 'It's just acne, it doesn't have to be a big deal. Sometimes easier said than done, it seems...
Don't give up, Abi! I think I saw a post a few days ago where you had mentioned how things were starting to clear up and you were feeling happier about how things were looking. If you carry on as you were, sure it will start to get better again. It can be pretty disheartening when you feel like you're almost there, then it all kicks off again. Lost count of the number of times I've been there myself over the years - a breakout clears up and the redness goes down, and so on, then just as you think it might give you some peace, the cycle starts up again. Gets really frustrating and you wonder why you bother in the first place, but you will get there. Just like it had a beginning, remember that it will also have an end.
