Apple Blossom

I use tea tree bar soap for washing off foundation. It works really well and doesn't irritate my skin at all. It also doesn't dry out my skin nearly as much as products I've used in the past. Last ...

Birth control worsened my acne permanently to moderate acne. I would never recommend it as once you get off it gets worse. It was a permanent effect for me personally. This is quite a generalizatio...

i think your skin looks pretty good but i totally know how you feel. i had some mild raised scarring on my chin and then last year i got the worst cystic acne i ever had in my life and it was mostly a...

megtree - thanks for such a positive response! When you say some of your marks faded, did you mean hyperpigmentation or actual (indented) scars? I've had one of those indented scars for about a year...

Thanks for replying. I agree that I'm probably overreacting! But I also don't think they're nothing. There is a shallow or not-so-shallow indented scar at every red/dark spot. I guess I'm panickin...

Has anyone ever had a bunch of new indented scars form at almost the same time? I have an area of my face that has always been a mess despite the rest of my face being decent. I think years of havin...

I used it for a couple weeks and at first I thought it might be lightening some of my scars, but then I noticed new dark sports where I hadn't had any before. I have no idea why that would happen and...

you know what's worst then acne? getting rid of your acne and having aweful scarring, and no i'm not talking about "red marks" (which will go away with time) i'm talking about pitted, boxcar, rolling,...

I've had something similar happen with MSM cream, but to a lesser degree. I started using it about two weeks ago but not every day. I swear I'm noticing dark spots on my chin where there didn't used...

Thanks I appreciate your help!!!

Hi brenmc, Hi brenmc, thanks for responding. I thought I read some posts from 2011 where you were in the midst of weaning off Diane 35? So do you mean you quit it cold turkey the first time you wen...

This forum on thelovevitamin is seriously the only thing that gave me hope about going off Diane 35.... it's about weaning off birth control to try avoid the massive breakout from shocking your system...

I didn't have an initial breakout when I started Diane-35 and I noticed my skin start to improve after about 4-5 months. Hope it works well for you!!

Thanks for the tip! I hadn't thought of doing a liver cleanse. I went grocery shopping without makeup on today too (for the first time in a LONG time) and it felt pretty good once I got over the sel...

I'm on Diane 35 and have been for just over a year. It's been pretty good for my skin. I'd say I had mild-moderate cystic acne before going on it. One thing to keep in mind is that if you go on it,...

I've read a lot about this and from what I can see, it's common. For some people it seems to take 2-3 months to settle down. I didn't break out when I started on it and it was about 6 months before ...
