Hello all
it's been a while since i posted
since April my Acne has improved (thankfully and i hope it stays this way)
visiting a dermatologist helped (should have done this year and years ago)
i use a skin care called Clinical Clear expensive but works wonders and fast whithin a month my acne was 90 % better and i had it really bad on cheeks and jaw line horrible.
if you have tried everything try CLINICAL CLEAR they have a web site, ships from Toronto and from one of the best dermatologists in Toronto ( she created the line) works trust me.
i also take everyday a probiotic calledhcp progressive 2 a day
for my body i was and still get a few zits on chest and back, i read that using head and shoulders helps clear, i find it has helped so i am using that for my back and chest and i find that it has helped me clear well
i have a few zits on my face still come and go i have a few on my chin now which is annoying because when i find my skin is somewhat clear i am ahppy then a few new ones come along
i try to catch some natural sun light also
i am also doing GENESIS LASER for scaring and i have to say it's wonderfull im going for my 3rd session on Saturday and in two sessions the redness and marking have decrease so much that i feel somewhat confortable leaving the house without make up.
i will continue to do the laser until all redness is done they said approx 6 sessions to see 100 % results which is fine with me, i will continue taking probiotic and will continue buying the clinical skin line it's expensive to maintain this BUT if it makes you happier with yourself and not having to take ANTIBIOTICS ( i took minocycline worked for 3 months then stopped doing anything just caused me harm and to break out severely) try this regime if you are like me 32 year old female tried everything but this time i found something that worked, i hope ACNE goes away for good =(
im find with one or two zits but i dont wanna go back to how i was before, keeping my fingers crossed, if you have any questions please dont hesitate to contact me
best of luck to us all suffering from this hell called ACNE
UPDATE: JUNE 26TH
I went and still have a break out around chin sucks, noticeable it's so stressful i hope it's only because my monthly friend is due soon
i find it that i cant go a day in the month without zits on my face
urgh i will continue using my daily products i have been for a few months now and hope that i can enjoy the rest of the summer zit free or at least MINOR non too noticeable break outs on my face and body specially lower back and shoulders =(
ok so i have so many new zits on my chin and near mouth it's horrible and some again on the cheeks, im so fed up with this i am seriously so annoyed and feeling hopeless....
i feel like the genesis laser is great for the red marking scaring i have on my face from previous breakouts, it's deinfately working but i have only done 3, i need to go for 3 more but it's like i feel like i will need to keep doing this for my chin near mouth which i am sure will leave red marks.. i just wanna be ZIT FREE im almost 33 this should only happen to us in our teen years than GO AWAY but NO it stays here to make us suffer.... i am going to go see my family doctor and speak to him about BC and/or spiro i will see what he says i want kids i don't have any but hope to try soon so i prefer to be off any MEDS as possible but i feel like i have tried everything and nothing works.
i can't enjoy summer i even haze zits on my back this never happened before i don't get it....
UPDATE:
SEPT 7 2017
I decided to go on ACCUTANE (EPURIS 40 MG DAILY) i have been on it 2 months, i am somewhat clear finally i can go out without makeup and feel comfortable, bumps are gone, smooth texture its great, side effects- dry lips but i apply vaseline so much a day that they are manageable, just dry, no oily skin, dryness not bad at all i can go without moisturizer but i still apply, mild muscle pain, constipation, got worse after the 1 month, i take benefibre and apply an ointment doctor gave me to put on my bumbum if i suffer discomfort and pain on hemorrhoids, hope this goes away soon ( this is by far the worst side effect i have) i am going on 3 months in 5 days so i am hopping side effects for my lips and skin remain the same, skin keeps clearing, blood work remains good and i complete the 6 months good with no issues and HOPE this acne goes away for ever!
will keep updating.
Hey stressed123,
How are you getting on now? I just started roaccutane a week ago (20mg) and I'm after waking up with a pretty bad break out around my chin and mouth 
I'm hoping this is the initial break out and will pass soon..
Did you get a bad initial breakout?
Did it last long?
And did you use any other spot creams to help move it along?

Hi There!!!
hang in there, accutane is scary stuff but once you are on it and see results you will be happy you did it, i was terrified to go on it, mind you i am 33 so it was even more scary BUT my dermatologist assured me once i am done and wait 6 months to try to have a baby ( i am going to maybe wait a year) to be safe anywho the side effects scared me too dry skin, the lips, muscle pain ya i have mild muscle pain, my lips are not bad at all they are just dry but thats it vaseline is wonderfull Use vaseline for lips it will prevent cracking and dryness, my skin is not that dry which is amazing, no oily skin but not much dry patches either which i am suprised but i am on my 3rd month i heard maybe 4th month i will see more dry patches than usual, my zits are gone tho, in the 1st month on it i start to see a dramatic change my acne was finally vanishing, even my red marks on my cheeks are vanishing and i had it bad, my IB wasn't that bad, i got it 1st 2 weeks on it but wasn't as bad i was thinking it was going to be (everyone is different) i am constipated there are times i find it a bit painfull to go for number 2 (sorry to be so out there lol) i hope this goes away when i am done this medication, i take benefibre everyday to hopefully help. My skin care routine is very very simple, i wash my face with CETAPHIL and use CETAPHIL moisturizer for face/body works great not greasy at all and helps keep moisture in, i used to wash my hair everyday now i wash it 2 times a week its great lol, definately keeps the highlights looking freshly done lol (good side effect of the meds)
i am on my 3rd month i go see my derm in Oct this is a 6month course so i hope it works well till then and keeps me clear FOREVER i wish i had done accutane when my acne first started to appear (i was 26) i believe birth control did this to me, i had perfect skin not one zit prior to BC never again will i go on BC
i hope you do well and accutane will work for you
keeping fingers crossed we stay clear for ever!!!!
let me know how you are doing!
Awh brilliant!! Yeah I've been on it 19 days now and I definitely feel the breakout is calming down.. I still have the odd one or 2 popping up
but nothing compared to what it was! Skin is just dry and lips are very dry but the stuff I'm using for it really good so can't really complain!
No muscle or joint pain just yet and feel happy out... Yeah BC, I have the IUD but my skin actually started getting worse after i got it in so I have a feeling it could be something to do with that.. I might go back on the pill when i get the IUD out in May! It's so hard to know what way to go about it as I'm terrified I'll have a change in hormones again and my skin will break out again! 
I just can't wait until my skin is totally clear! Hoping I'll be able to go to college with no make up on 
haha have you any make up tips?
Any foundation you'd recommend that helps the dry skin?

Im happy to hear you are doing well so far on it!!!
it will keep getting better and better i can't believe im on 76 days already but still feel like it's so long to go still =( my skin is clear i have red marks but nothing compared to what i had i go out with no make up and i feel good now and hope i don't get more zits again!!!!
as for make up i used powder because i HATED foundation i couldn't never match my skin to any liquid foundation i gave up i just used powder, luckly my skin wasn't very dry so it sat okay minus the horrible bumps BUT after the 1st month, my second month was MUCH better no bumps clear smooth skin (thank fully) i go see my derm in Oct i hope he keeps me on 40 mg i am confortable on it and seems to be working really well
keep me posted on your progress!!! best of luck =)
