Hmm if we wanna get down to the science level, you could assume that these cystic breakouts are being caused by a different variable than the one that caused the cysts that differin helped/cured. Dif...

I'm not very knowlegdable about age spots and such, after all this is an acne forum. Anywho, if you want an idea, retinoids are often used to help improve aging skin. You need a prescription but it's...

Awesome to hear duac is working for you! You could either get another prescription but depending on when you live repeats can be expensive. Your other option is to find a product, leave on prefered, ...

Hey! i'm also on a topical retinoid now, differin, so not Ziana but they have somewhat of a similar effect. When i started differin 9 weeks ago, i was bracing myself for the IB to come around three w...

START OF WEEK NINE So i have about 4 cysts on my face now?! I haven't had them in ages! They're those hard, deep and unresponsive cysts, the type that go away on their own cause they don't surface. I...

Unless you're willing to spend time playing around with more acne treatments. Then the harsh reality is that you will probably end up on accutane again. Perhaps, if you found it returned so fast when ...

Basically inflammation. I can't reference any actual scientific documents but I have seen in some short "how does acne form" videos on youtube that often the pore underneath the skin can stretch by t...

Although I believe that antibiotics should work pretty quickly, some people (at least on these boards/reviews), find that it can take a month or so to see improvements. You could also try the dairy t...

The younger you are on your accutane course, the more likely you are to relapse. So now you are older, it may work better. Also, with every consecutive course, people tend to stay clearer ...

I'm sorry I can't exactly help you as I have not yet used accutane personally, but make sure you are using very gentle skin care products and keeping your skin as hydrated as possible to minimise irra...

Hey Clareb78 Isotrex contains a different type of retinoic acid to Epiduo, so while the odds aren't exactly in your favour - considering you found no results with Epiduo, Isotrex targets different RA...

Studies have shown the longer the person is on the course, regardless of at what point they clear up, the longer they stay clear after and therefore have a lower chance of relapsing. As long as you ar...

Unfortunately no one can tell you whether diane will clear up your skin like accutane can, you just don't know until you try it. However, if your doctor believes it may respond to birth control well t...

Heya The first thing that comes to mind to ask is if you have tried any prescription retinoids? Because you allude that a lot of it tends to be under the surface, which is like my acne tbh, never hav...

End of week 7 A day late, oops. So, better than the previous week! The number of nodules/bumps on my face are lessening each week, but not per day necessarily. To be generous with what I consider a bl...

There's basically no way to tell, if you read the reviews on the internet there people saying anywhere from a few weeks (they probably only have very mild acne though) to 8 months in some cases. Essen...

First thing that comes to mind with the seasonal acne you describe is vitamin D difenciency. Give it a google on the boards if it sounds like you try some supplementation. Been very sucessful for some...

END OF WEEK 6 So my face is a little worse than the last week, and im picking so bad. Argh It seems though, and logically I guess, that my face is clearing slowly from the thinnest parts of my skin ...

shiettt these forums are dead!

Yes, the retinoid in Epiduo is adapalene, also know as 'Differin'. Adapalene (Differin) is considered the weakest retinoid so if your skin is stubborn it may be a little nonreactive to it. Keep ...

I have the same problem, thankfully I only do it maybe once every 2-3 months but when I do I always get a flare of acne the next week.  Why this happens is hard to pinpoint,...

If so did it work for you and in what time frame? Cheers!
