Hey! My boyfriend gets the same type of acne/irritated skin around his jawline sometimes, and he says it's from shaving. He has glowing smooth skin everywhere else. This is honestly what it looks like...

I went on birth control at a really early age...basically when I was 12! My mom wanted to spare me from experiencing horrible acne. I suffered with minor acne in jr high and high-school. Nothing major...

I wonder how long it takes to break out from food? I know for some things (like an allergy) it can be rather immediate. But I know that it takes about two weeks for a pimple to form, whether by skinca...

Y3rfd0g--Also, have you thought about taking cod liver oil instead of just vitamin D3? Many people have had great success with cod liver oil, for what I believe consists of 2 reasons. 1. Vitamin A an...

this is very interesting. I learned in nursing that it is recommmended for diabetics to take cinammon because it helps insulin in managing glucose levels. I think I'm going to try the cinnamon capsul...

I was on ortho tricyclen for 6 years. I went off of all birth control and broke out horribly. When I went on it again, I used ortho-triclycen but the LOW DOSE form. In sept 2010, I switched for some r...

Even though the FDA says they are the same (which they hypothetically should be) it's well-known that generic brands are not always as effective as name brands. Your body responds differently to the s...

hey ladies, so I've tried my best to read all the entries and your progress. I sounds like there hasn't been progress, but horrible nasty breakouts for both of you I so badly want to scream and tot...

Hey I thought I'd stop by again It's interesting seeing what you're trying and sensitive to what causes your break outs. You've helped me out sooo much and I can't thank you enough for creating this ...

I've been using finacea for 3 weeks, am 22 year old female, and don't notice more facial hair. I mean, I definitely have some facial hair already, it but it's blonde.

I just want to say that when I stopped using moisturizers with silicone, I stopped getting clogged pores and blackheads. I didn't realize how my skin can naturally glow! I use Pratima neem oil sunsc...

thats great! Like I said, you have to try out the aveda products, since I don't think all shampoos are safe. My shampoo is "scalp benefits- balancing shampoo" and the conditioner I use a few times a w...

hey I'm really sorry to hear about the bad reactions to the new birth control. If you were to look in my gallery from the beginning of this year, you'll see how bad my acne was. Covered in cysts from ...

@Notanoutsider: Yes, it is very likely you breakout because of the soap/shampoo. I never understood the acne on my body and scalp until this year! I'm honestly not sure what shampoo to recommend to yo...

Hey just want to say that you may want to look into your shampoo and soap. I had always had moderate to severe acne on my back and chest for YEARS, constant light acne on my scalp, then this last year...

My heart goes out for you, my dear. Around this time last year I started breaking out in cysts all along my neck and jawline and forehead. It was sooooo painful to the touch and even to move my face. ...

I'm sorry to hear that you're having stomach problems Thank you for getting back to me! ya, I only used it on a rather large zit, and it really did help with inflammation...but man it really stinks l...

QUOTE (y3rfd0g @ Sep 5 2011, 03:24 PM) Ya I bet you get asked that a lot, and yes everyone is different. I really want to get the skin scratch allergy test, but I think it is about 800 bucks ( Thank ...

I think I know what you're talking about. I have this particularly on my T-zone sometimes. If I don't catch it then it does become blocked and creates a blackhead or clogged pore.   Do you use an...

Bioderma makeup remover is perfection! The only draw back is the price, ugh. It is magical for taking off makeup and never breaks me out. I read your post about the Bioderma and decided to buy it my...

Hey I'm glad you found your culprit. Whether it's coffee or caffeine, you are at least aware that it could be both.   I was pretty clear for about 3 months (odd zit here or there). Then my boyfri...

What are peoples thoughts on aloe vera? Straight from the plant, applied to red marks and scars? I did it a few times and didn't notice any difference, but maybe over a long period of time it works? ...

Hi Matt,   Wow, touching story. I can agree with many others and say I should stop crying over my skin and my scars, which are very minor. I'm inspired by your story.   Yes, like someone had...

Im curious about all the ingredients in the Olay products...Red 40, frangrances, petroleum... I'm worried that these are acne causing ingredients or are too irritating. Has anyone, who started Dan's r...
