One more thing, for some shameless self promotion, I make my own toner specifically for keeping acne away and healing red marks and scars. I think it works well for me, maybe it will work for you? ...

Hi! Your blog is super cute and informative! Your acne struggles are similar to mine. I haven't tried Epiduo, but right now I'm trying Paula's Choice CLEAR system. It's actually working so well! I'm i...

Yep i heard cysts could be injected with cortisone. I asked my derm and he wouldn't do it because he said it would cause thinning skin and facial atrophy. He said to wait for it to go down naturally. ...

RE cysts. Something I didn't know is that you can get cortizone injections for them - I didn't know that. I had an enormous cyst on my forehead, I actually suspected that an insect had laid eggs in my...

Hi Abigail, So are you using epiduo with yasmin bc at the moment to keep your skin clear? Have you ever used any form of antibiotic? Hi Miss Solosit I attribute my current clear skin to my cont...

Hi Amanda You must feel really disheartened, I totally sympathise. It's such a shame that you can't get accutane, I know that is usually the route a dermatologist would go down after so many topi...

Hi Sarah I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. I'm currently in my last year of uni and I pretty much have time for nothing else Your first question: In the long run, Epiduo is...

I used Clinique Acne Solutions Foundation. It contains 0.5% salicylic acid which fights against acne. It never broke me out. If your skin is dry from treatments I probably wouldn't recommend it as it...

Hi Everyone. I've started writing a blog which is basically inspired from my experiences with acne and documenting it here. I'd really appreciate it if anyone would consider following me or maybe havi...

Hi Abigail! I've just recently started a treatment of Epiduo and Tetralysal and my first week has been hell. Finding acne.org was a godsend and I'd like to say that your story has really given me the ...

Another update! I am still using Epiduo and Tetralysal daily. I would like to wean myself off Epiduo because it's a huge frickin ballache to wait half an hour for it to dry before I can moisturise a...

Hi Genesis I suffered from acne for nearly three years, I too used Duac plus various other topicals and oral antibiotics. Eventually my derm prescribed me Epiduo and it is the only thing that was ef...

call me crazy but i wash my face with head & shoulders and then apply epiduo and i still dont get any burns or irritation like everyone here talks about. there was an initial breakout but its mini...

I wanted to dredge this topic up to say that I have not cut my hair as I said I would! And I very rarely straighten it. It's quite soft and shiny now too thanks to the Moroccan Oil (this little bottl...

thank you so much for your encouraging comments. Update: I have run out of Tetralysal and decided not to renew the course (I can't really afford all these different prescriptions every month). I ha...

i'm 20/F been using epiduo for 4 days..my face really burnng feel like i want to cry...its also oily when since i put epiduo on my face...its never stop oily..my face swollen,irritation dan dry...i re...

That looks amazing!!! hahaha. Applying falsies while drunk is a bad idea... good thing you didn't do it! It is the best day to mess around. Last year I made my boyfriend a zombie (face anyway) - lots ...

Really makes me so glad I don't live in America. Having to pay for medication is the most disgusting inhumane idea I have ever heard of. My Epiduo is Free, as it should be.   How do you get it ...

For Halloween I went as Poison Ivy. I used a light green all over my lid, dark sparkly green on the outer and in the socket and also for contouring. I cut up pieces of artificial ivy and stuck them to...

Your skin is looking so much better! I have a similar regimen to you: epiduo, yasmin and an antibiotic. I'm 100% clear now with red marks and scars, so hang on in there. RE flaking and sore skin, i...

hi there--you're skin looks quite good!!! i understand about the anxiety about having your skin breakout again, but honestly, if your current regimen works and you DONT need to take accutane, then sta...

I haven't been on here for a while. Two reasons: I no longer have an office job and therefore spend less time on a computer. Also my acne has gone away. So I thought I'd write a bit of an update of ...

I see no difference Me ----> <---- Me You're quite beautiful and your skin is looking lovely! Just a forewarning about BP, I was using the same strength of BP (2.5%) for about a year and ...

I knowwwww but I look ugly if I don't straighten my hair. Blah! Okay. I use argan oil in my hair but it seriously won't curl properly. It just looks like... noodles. There's no way you could ever lo...

My ends are frizzy as. I got my hair cut a few weeks ago (just a trim, and had it thinned out, promise! ) but it seems that even if I use heat protectant in my hair before straightening, it fries SO ...
