It's been five fucking years that I have acne now.

I'm 18.

I have been using benzoyl peroxid for like all this time, sometimes my face is not so bad, sometimes it is, but never clean as I would like. I can't deal with this anymore. I could've been acne free already, as I got accutane prescribed for me last year but I was too much of a pussy to take it.

I just wanted a normal clean face like everyone else's, IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK?

I feellll you! Can't even do a thing about it what pisses me off - you do your best and follow everything to get clear to a T and still end up with blemishes while people not showering for weeks at a time don't even get a spot.... Ridiculous

It has been 12 years for me. What else have you tried? Retinoids, diet changes, etc?

I tried all that and even accutane and lasers. I wouldn't mind the acne if I knew it would stop at one point and not scar. I'm gettibg truely depressed, I've never been so hopeless

 

-accutane worked but they just fine back and I cant deal with the side effects

Don't give up. I know its depressing, but believe it or not... The stress makes it worse. I fought my acne for a little over a year. It came out of nowhere. I refused to take meds to be clear. Over washing and other chemicals can be too harsh and continue the cycle of breakouts. The scars suck as well. In all reality... Your diet is the biggest factor! Change your diet. Analyze the foods that you notice bring about the breakouts. Trust me... Once you start to pay attention, you notice what your body reacts to. Much of the dismay in the skin spawns from an unhealthy diet. It's an organ after all and you need to feed it properly. You can do it! Just don't give up on yourself. Find the proper balance your body needs and your skin will inevitably follow!
