Hi guys, I've struggled with acne since my late teens and now I'm 22 and still suffering with very stubborn acne. So far I have tried all generic acne topical treatments such as Clinique system, Duac, BP gel 10%. These either didn't work at all or worked for a few weeks then the acne came back. I have had antibiotics which don't work. The most effective treatment was Dianette. It gave me totally clear skin for a year. Despite still taking it, it seems to have stopped working and slowly but surely my spots seem to be coming back just like before. I am at my wits end and feeling very down can anyone please suggest what I might be able to try next?! I'm at a loss. I'm in the UK. Thank you!
My acne has been hormonal ever since I was 10. And unfortunately everything I tried always results in a disappointment or in my acne coming back.
It wasn't until I tried the Acne.org Regimen that I cleared my skin. Not an easy regimen to get into but I have managed to clear my severe acne and have stayed clear for more than 3 years now. I am still on the regimen and plan to use it until further notice. You can check the details in my signature for pics and info on it.
Be sure to read up and educate yourself on it if you are interested in doing the regimen.

Hi there! Tried and true Spironolactone user for over 2 years. Yaz or Yasmin BCP helped for some time, but after being diagnosed with PCOS this is the best course of treatment for any androgren, testosterone and stubborn hormonal acne. I've got a long log in my profile and recently updated my new dosage increase.
