Acne.org Products
Hi everyone, I was a lurker a couple years back when acne scarred my self-confidence and ability to fully socialize with my peers. However, after using--what seems like countless--obscure products and then finally the regimen, I'm at a stage where I no longer need to use face wash to keep relatively clear skin. I feel very blessed to have acne.org to help support me emotionally up until this moment.
But as many of us would like to believe, after acne there will be other problems. For me, it's aged skin. Because I used benzoyl peroxide and (sometimes) incredibly harsh products for my face, and because I didn't want to break out so I didn't use sunscreen when I was younger, my skin now looks aged. I'm only 24, but sometimes I feel like I look at least 28. It lowers my self-confidence and I cannot stand directly under bright lights lest people may take a good look at my skin.
It's so hard to battle skin flaws after skin flaws, and I am so envious of people who just have beautiful smooth skin. Is anyone out there feeling and battling the same thing?
I have the same exact problem.I'm 18 years old and i feel i look about 23 or 24. Along with my aged skin, I also still battling the most irritating case of acne in the world! When i was 14 starting high school, i really started to break out and became self conscious. I started using any and everything that i could get my hands to try and get rid of my acne (all otc products). i had no clue of what i was using nor how to use it. All i knew was salicylic acid = clear skin. 2 whole years of harsh scrubbing and over exfoliating (everyday thing) really showed up when i turned 16. From fine lines to major loss of collagen, i look terrible. All i want is help, recommendations, anything.
