Anyone know how to make these fade quickly?   Current Regimen: Doxycycline (recently started taking again so that should help with them forming at all) 100% Natural Black Soap from Ghana 1...

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I'm using tactuo which increases cell turnover as well, I'm only on week 7 and my break outs are minor now, guess I'll just continue with that. Thanks

I've been using a 10% Glycolic Acid sunscreen peel, Neostrata Acne Clear 2% Salicylic Acid Cleanser, and Tactupump (7th week, used to use it before but stopped and I'm back on it now) for ...

Dont pop the cysts until they're ready to be popped. it's hard but try not to. Retin A or Tactuo Gel will help dry the cyst out quickly and Neostrata Oil Free Gel Cleanser witch will help with scaring...

Hey, I used to break out really bad even worse than what you have now. What worked for me was Retin A Micro 0.1% as well as Neostrata Oil Free Gel Cleanser (best face wash I've ever used). Retin A dri...

Those are called Ice Pick scars when their's little tiny indents in your skin. Best treatment is skin resurfacing but it could cost lots of money.

Hi I just wanted to provide a skin update for the people. I went through depression with my previous breakouts for about a year and after about 4 months of treatment from Retin A and Neostrata Oil Fr...

Hi akheem, I read your post and I think you would be fine with 0,1%. In fact, studies show that dark skinned have a thicker skin and therefore it won't cause you any harm. Please, just don't overuse i...

Here are photos....pretty horrible. Im kinda over it atm, the emotional part of it anyways but its just hard going out in public all the time.

Been using Retin A Micro 0.04% for lets say about 8 weeks now and still get occasional pimples but not as much as I was getting before. Before I had a lot more small pimples and break outs but I still...

Technically, you can use tretinoin and glycolic acid without worrying about pH conflicts. It's the irritation/dryness you need to watch out for. You could use a leave-on glycolic acid lotion in the mo...

To be honest, your regimem is keeping your skin clear, you add in new stuff especially more exfoliants and your skin could break out. Retin-a is already used to treat hyperpigmentation so I wouldn't u...

You can't use a retinoid and glycolic acid together, you could use one morning/one night but if you apply them to your skin at the same time, they actually neutralize each other so you won't get any b...

*CORRECTION* Retin - A is 0.04%. To start off I'm a 20 year old black male. So I've been on Retin A Micro for about 7 weeks as well as Doxycycline pills and my cystic acne is gone, just get a few ...

If your skin is tingly and burning, do consider toning down your application a little. Say, reduce it to once every two days for instance, or once every three days until your skin gets used to it. Rem...

Also I applied the benzaclin to my face and it made my face tingly and kind of a burning sensation. is this good? plus I kinda had a shortness of breath.

Is there a purge for benzaclin? like will my acne get worse before it gets better?

i used to use benzaclin for about 5 years or so and it worked very well for me. i used it twice a day with a good moisturizer (olay regenerist deep hydration cream) but i would also look into trying s...

The thing is you're still breaking out cysts. That's essentially the culptrit to your PIH. What's your diet like? Fix your diet then give retin a a try again.. I've been cutting out dairy and sugar...

retin a is suppose to bring acne to the surface so it can exfoliate and cleanse it right , i had some breakouts but it was very little and went away in couple of days that's true, it was very drying...

here are more photos of the PIH and acne....   use retin a 0.1 it works amazing im almost 3 weeks into it and ill post my results on my other topic soon

don't be that discouraged by it dude. its actually not bad really. Id say your acne scars are mild. don't try anything to strong you still have nice skin

HOW DO I DEAL WITH THIS PIH?! Its causing my anxiety to be worse, I can't stop thinking about my face. - social anxiety that people are making fun of my acne and scars or thinking I'm gross - OCD o...

This one seems a good buy? it has salicylic acid but is the 10th ingredient and glycerin is the 4th ingredient so it should be good for sensitive skin that dries easily keep the skin moist

Hi, to start off.... I am a 20y/o african american male going through puberty and I have oily, sensitive and acne prone skin. Skin gets dry when I use certain cleansers as they strip my face and ma...
