Hi All,

My name is Sophia, I am 28 years old and I have Acne! I have had Acne for almost 11 years now. I thought I'd join the site to connect with other acne sufferers as I know how daunting it is to have the condition.

At the moment I'm using finacea gel 10% along with olay refreshing facewash as everything seems to dry my skin out. This product doesn't.

I currently have cystic acne on both cheeks and tiny little spots/bumps all over my forehead as well as my cheeks. I am the only one in my family who suffers from acne... Boo me! I get hyper-pigmentation when spots leave and most of the time I am left with dark brown /purply scars.... Which are SO hard to conceal... So yeah... Ummm... My skin sucks! =)

My current make up routine is mac moisture concealer (I think it's called that) and mac studio fix powder

Below are some pics of what my skin looked like this morning without make up - please ignore the hairy face waiting for acne to clear up a bit so I can get it removed. Also thats a birth make on my cheeck..the long weird strip..

Ok, that's me ..

Oh yeah I've been Using the finacea gel for about 2 and a half months

Toodles for now
