Acne.org Products
Hiya! My name is Blair, 17 from California and I am sick to death of my acne. I have blackheads in almost every visable pore on my face and super oily skin. I have exhausted every facet of acne treatment imaginable and spent hundreds of dollars on treatment. I don't know what else to do. Everyone around me seems to have the clearest, cleanest skin and mine is just brimming with bacteria. It makes me so self conscious that I feel the need to wear makeup, even though I know that only makes things worse.
Please, please someone suggest something to help me.
A little background; I've been on a Paleo diet for about 6 months (no dairy, no gluten, no processed sugars), I exercise regularly and wash my face with a gentle cleanser morning and night, exfoliate once a week and do a facial twice a week.
Thank you in advance
I recently tried to change to a milder soap...One I had used successfully in the past...5 or 6 days later my face was full of blackheads! Ugh, I hadn't had an issue with those in more than 20 years! I knew instantly that the blackheads were because the soap had physically clogged my pores. I decided to do some research on the soap...The company changed the formula since the last time I'd used it and now it contains comedogenic ingredients that it didn't before. Awesome.
Anyway, it's possible that is a product/ingredient that you are using and not that your face isn't clean enough. (Which is usually not the issue anyway.)
