I feel like shit.....I was finally becoming happy and gaining weight and I almost had a girlfriend....then it all came back....
So sorry I know, I saw that a product failed on you. I hope it gets better soon
Pretty good actually! I'm trying to be more positive about my life, and actually my skin is pretty nice today! Yes I woke up with new spots but the rest of it is smooth and soft!
Same happened to me! I've been thinking positive and ignored my skin. I looked in the mirror after removing healing clay and looked so good. Blackheads are gone.. I only saw like 2-3 tiny ones. I had lots. Blackheads started to disappear before using this clay though. I will continue doing this to be clear.
Skin is looking pretty bad, but whatever, summer is close and I always clear up a lot then! Just a couple more months and I'll probably have close to mild acne instead of semi-severe. Can't wait!!! Life is pretty good, overall. Summer is close, so my face will clear up, and hopefully I can gain some weight before then and look good
I feel horrible today. Started 2 new products a derm gave me. I have dermatitis around my nose thats super red. Also have redness and redmarks on my chin from either acne or the dermatitis, i dont fucking know. I have ZERO pimples. But the products im using seems to be making my skin more red. Im just so fucking over this. I had clear skin for over a year, and 3 months ago my skin just blew up with this condition(s). Im so done. IM hopeless. My skin is just so fucked from the past 3 months of all the products ive used on it. I just feel like now im doing more harm than good. I just wish there was a cream or laser than could go on my face in the areas that are fucked up, and just clear it up like it was 3 months ago. My life has seriously been HORRIBLE the past 3 months. I could write a fucking book on how demoralized ive been.
I feel if I date this girl she will be emmbarrased of my face : \
I felt the same way about my past relationship and that's part of why it failed. Try not to let your own self-consciousness effect your relationship.
I'll try...I wish I was more confident : /......if i did it would basically be the equivalent of being clear, because I wouldn't care ! : /

Yeah, its hard to be confident when you know you don't look good. Just remember that she likes you for way more than your looks. There are plenty of girls who will fall for a guy just based on his character and confidence. Good luck man.
My face is still a mess, my acne is super persistent. About 8 new zits again today and a large cysts on my neck. My skin looks pretty bad, but I think it is slightly better than a month ago. There are times that I wished it was only this bad, but in the end I just want to be clear! Stay strong people.
Also, I can't really expect a clear face when I'm only getting 5-6 hours of sleep the past couple nights and drinking. I totally forgot that you aren't supposed to drink while on vitamin A and I'm on beta carotene, which is a derivative of A, so I hope I didn't do my body too much damage :l
Today has not been a good day.
The past few weeks actually have not been that good acne-wise either now I think about it...
Painful large and hard spots around my chin and a few on my cheeks... I'm just so sick of always dealing with acne. If I could I'd stay inside all the time just so I don't have to be seen.... needless to say my confidence and self-esteem levels, even though they haven't always been the best, have definitely plummeted in the past week
I'm also sick of trying to find something that will finally work for me.
But, as always, I really try not to think about it. I go off to uni and have a good time with friends and I guess as long as I keep myself distracted I can't think about my skin or how I look or what other people think when they see my skin - so that means I won't feel as down about it all...
It's hard too that I'd like to meet new people (and maybe those new people might just happen to be guys who are 'my type' haha ) but I feel too embarrassed or shy - basically just an example of having little confidence or self-esteem - because of my acne...
Anyway - I could probably go on but I have uni assignments to finish!!
and you get the idea: acne is horrible!!
Breaking out, skin look worse, I try not to stress out so bad coz that wont do anything, yet I don't know what to do with my breakouts... as I quit BP already. I have no idea what alternative to use.
Since you quit BP, it will get worse, but then it will get better hopefully. I stopped using BP 2-3 months ago and skin went crazy after 2 months being clear without BP at all. Now my skin is healing and look great. I am treating it naturally now, so no more chemicals. I always wanted to do this. I have a lot of redness and some new scars =\ especially on forehead.. looks bad ;\
Anyways, here's an update about my skin.. after using the healing clay twice in a row, my skin looks better. No new breakouts at all I only have like 2 active pimples that hurts a bit when applying a natural acne spot treatment gel. My skin looked so great 2 months ago and so I really want that skin back.. It will take a while since I have to deal with redness and new scars.

I've heard a 'healing clay' mentioned a few times but not sure what clay it is exactly. Is it a sodium bentonite clay mask?
I guess many of us are lazy to type the whole thing.. ha ha.. it is called Indian Aztec healing clay. It contains calcium instead of sodium.
If you search it on google and click reviews, you'll see a lot! 4.5/5. Seems like this product works for so many people. It is cheap, too! So I decided to try it. I only saw a small improvement as I only used it twice. I plan to use this everyday since I have pimples. I saw to apply it more than once a week if you have skin problem. My skin isn't sensitive, so my skin don't turn red. Not even slightly. It doesn't dry my skin at all
hmmm I was fine for 2 weeks but a few days ago I started getting small zits...and yesterday a bigger lump formed and today I noticed 2nd big lump under skin. Oh dear! Go away!!! This might turn into something bad I hope they just disappear. I had a nightmare nodule or whatever 2 months ago and I have a scar from it. No please NOT AGAIN!! I hate this! I rather have 10 small pimples!

You should! it is cheap and last so longgggg. So far, I see improvements. I just washed this clay off and my skin looks so good. I used witch hazel toner after washing it off and used a natural acne spot treatment which dries my pimples quick. My skin isn't even dry yet... it is slightly oily instead >_> so I stopped applying coconut oil to moisturize my skin. I will apply it once my skin is dry. My forehead is clearing up, even though I am still breaking out with tiny zits and got 2 painful one, but it isn't big. I'm glad I don't break out around mouth I used to always break out there.. weird. Now I breakout on forehead instead and on cheeks sometime. Hopefully this regimen clear me up fast and prevent breakouts.
My huge breakout is subsiding.
I am realizing my weakness - it's not picking, but over using products. I was doing so well but introduced the clarisonic daily to try and get rid of blackheads and that screwed me up. Now I am just cleansing with Cetaphil. No other stuff. I was thinking of getting some CeraVe lotion, but I'm always really really cautious about new products. My skin is so sensitive but I tend to forget that.

Glad to hear you think it's working for you!
My skin is pretty dry lately from benzoyl peroxide but I've used BP for so long with little success that I want to stop using it soon. Also don't love the idea of using such a harsh chemical for who knows how many more years.
Because it's so dry I might wait a bit before using the clay just in case but I'll go buy some soon to have ready.
Thanks again and good luck to you

Coconut oil does help a lot. I actually had to stop applying it 'cause my skin became greasy for a while, but I saw this coconut oil is even good for oily skin.
You might break out for stopping using BP, but it will calm. I think it is worth it 'cause using BP for so long is bad. I hated how my skin looked after applying the 3-steps.... not natural at all. ;\ I hope this clay works for you. I saw people with a lot of acne applies this everyday and they see good results. I have some acne, so I do apply it everyday until I am clear. I will then apply it twice a week.
