Acne.org Products
I'm at my wits end !
im 21 and in a constant cycle of getting bad acne for most of the year, it clears up around summer but it seems to be coming back worse every year!
it started when I was 12,
ive tried anti biotics and prescription creams.
i can't use combined contraception so that's out of the question.
i can't have accutane because you need to be on contraception for that (I currently can't use any hormonal contraceptives)
ive recently switched to a vegan diet but it's made it worse !!!
i exfoliate, cleanse, use clay masks, steam has face sometimes, literally tried everything.
i use epiduo gel but it's making my skin thin and dull and makes red under the eyes.
i have some excess hair on my face but don't have polycystic ovaries.
is anyone else this exhausted with it ? :((((((((
first off don't panic. When I was 21 years old that was the peak of really bad acne for me. I'm now 30 years old and it's just gotten too small spots here and there. Honestly when you start a new routine it takes about two weeks for your skin to get used to it so you could be going through some purging. It sounds like you have sensitive skin so if I were you I would not be taking Epiduo. Epiduo from what I've heard is very irritating and can cause Burning Sensations. All i can say is find the products that work for you. Alot of it is trial and error to find those product's. Dont exfoliate or use clay masks more than once a week. Everyones face is different but when I used cleansers and toners with chemicals my face was dry. Now i use things with natural ingredients and my face feels amazing.
