Im allergic to every freaking moisturizer on the planet it seems! Im not gonna put regular moisturizers on my face for the time being. I will go back to using one part glycerin to three parts water. I have it in a spray bottle

was your skin dry and sensitive prior to applying products, like as a child?

I think so.

Ive had it through the roof with acne. I am breaking out horribly right now and the breakouts on my forehead hasnt stopped either. I am breaking out everywhere except on my cheeks. My cheeks are not bright red like the last time I had horrible pimples. I think part of the reason Im breaking out is Im having insomnia. I have had it the past three nights. Some jerk called my cell phone at 1am this morning and I never could fall back asleep. Of course the Nucelle serum could also cause me to purge and of course, theres that cleanser by Dior that had fragrance in it and that couldve triggered breakouts. I had a very clear forehead for the past three years and then all of a sudden, boom, Im breaking out there again. Im getting pimples along my lipline again and on my chin.

One of the pimples along my lipline dried up but Ive had these three pimples under my chin that have been there for pushing two months and they are still not gone! I also have like five or more new pimples next to my nose and on my chin. They fucking hurt!

Well, my benefit cleanser is half way gone and so I decided to start a different regimen again. I see no improvement in my skin, none. My skin is looking shitty again. I found this video on youtube and this woman is studying to be an esthetician. She made a video about these products she uses from a company called Tu'el aka Eva skin care. I ordered two products from the site and I started using it last night. One is AHA and the other is a gel cleanser for sensitive skin.

As of this morning I have one pimple on the bridge of my nose, but thats it.

 

Update at 7:15: I have either a cyst or nodule on my chin and Im upset about it. I havent had a cyst for I think a year.

I decided to start from stratch and make a brand new Aqua Glycolic Cleanser Personal Regimen Log.

Day 1: I woke up this morning with one large pustule on my chin. I decided to pop it and now there is of course dry blood. Hopefully, the glycolic cleanser will make it disappear in a few days. Last time I used Aqua Glycolic Cleanser I didnt realize it is supposed to be applied to dry skin. I put it on dry skin and then I added water and then I rinsed my face off. I put a thin later of Fruit of the Aloe Vera Gel on my face let it dry for about five minutes and then I put on CeraVe moisturizer.

Im thinking of buying Tea Tree Oil later today.

Hi,

I was wondering if you or anyone used the ceraVe cleanser and if it has worked for you.. :rolleyes:

Theres this one product from this skincare line that is fabulous. I have woken up everyday this week with new pimples and everytime I put the clear it from this skin care line on the pimples, by the morning, they are dried up already. I have had this one pimple under my chin that just never went away and lasted on my face for three months. I put the clear it on it and now its gone. Ive also put clear it on some pimples along my jawline and they are also gone.

 

Oh and this is sort of off topic but I stopped eating ice cream. Its been a couple of months and Ive lost a lot of weight from it. I havent stepped on the scale but my pants are very loose.

I always suffer from acne, but whenever fall and winter roll around, I break out ten times worse. I am breaking out in about twenty new pimples a day. I swear its the weather. Its probably not make up either because Im breaking out on my chest too.

*sigh* Ive been using the cleanser from tu'el and the AHA since the last week of October. Ive been using the other stuff since the end of November. Its not working at all. Im gonna only use these products every other day and when I run out of it, I will not be repurchasing. The only product that is seeming to work well is the clear it. Its a spot treatment. Everything else hasnt been working. I have the cleanser, the AHA, their cleansing oil, and their herbalizer. Im not gonna use the cleanser anymore because Im almost out of it anyway and it hasnt been affective. Im just going back to this neutrogena liquid cleanser that I used to use. Its not the one with SA in it. Its just a regular fragrance free cleanser.

So my skin looks like crap as usual. Its getting worse though because its nearing winter. I have two pimples next to my ears that are purple and have been around for like three months. They still havent gotten smaller and disappeared. I also have a new cyst along my jawline.

I am not a happy camper! I am breaking out so badly. I dont know if its my skin routine, if its my new lancome finishing powder, my laura mercier foundation, the season change, a combination of things or what. I cannot take it anymore! I hate acne! I get new pimples every single day. It never ends.

URGH! I got two new pimples today, both of them under my nose and both are large yellow heads, gross! My face is also very dry so today I bought Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing gel. I also have another SkinCeuticals Clarifying Cleanser and gel masque coming in the mail. I am gonna use the SkinCeuticals once a day and the neutrogena cleanser the other time.

I have stopped using the laura mercier foundation and Nordstrom better let me return it because it costs $45! According to zerozits, the second ingredient listed on the foundation is very comedogenic. I know the make up didnt cause my acne breakout because I am predisposed to acne. However, it probably made an existing condition worse. I havent used this for about a week and my skin is getting a bit better. There is still some redness but I finally am not breaking out everyday. I also stopped using that Neutrogena because it also didnt like my skin. It made me severely dry. I swear, I am never buying drugstore cleansers again. All the ones Ive tried do not work well. That includes Shittyphil

So now that my period is over and I have stopped using that Laura Mercier make up, my face is getting better. I just received my order of two SkinCeuticals Clarifying Cleanser and one order of the clay masque. My zits are finally drying up. I still have a little bit left of my first jar of the clay masque and Ive been using it every night on my chin. Its helping a lot. I still wish my fucking blackheads would go away though! I have over a hundred of them and it makes me look ugly

 

Diet wise, I have decided to cut milk chocolate out of my diet, I mean not completely but in moderation. I had been eating chocolate everyday! I havent eaten ice cream in months either and it has helped but only a bit. Its been three years since Ive cut soda out of my diet.

I feel like crying. My acne just isnt getting better. Im almost 25 in April and I dont just break out before my period. I break out every single day. Its very upsetting and its taking a toll on me.
