Thanks for the responses! It's actually been a year on Retin-A micro and I love iy...no IB! And no I've never taken Accutane

Hey, I have pretty much the exact same thing. I have similar triggers to you (spicy food, anxiety) and sometimes it just happens for no reason at all. It's reaaaalllyyyy frustrating but it can get ...

Face mask to help fight acne and reduce scarring: lemon juice, honey and turmeric. I know it sounds like a weird combo but it works quite well. Just be careful with the turmeric as it can stain your c...

I started retin-a micro a little less than a month ago. Typically there is a 'purging' process where everything comes to the surface, so you may be at that point. I haven't noticed any significant imp...

First off let me just say that you're not alone in feeling that way. Lately I feel like my life revolves around my skin. It's really frustrating when you feel like you're doing everything right - drin...

First off, I totally understand where you are coming from. It's one thing having had to dealing with acne for a long time, it's another thing having it spring out of nowhere and get progressively wors...

I would not recommend yaz, I've been on it for a little under two months and so far all it has done is make my skin worse and made me very irritable/moody. Everyone reacts differently but it seems you...

I'm actually doing a similar regimen right now. I was prescribed Retin-A Micro (which is a retinoid) and Clindoxyl (which is clindamycin with benzoyl peroxide). I am not on any oral antibiotic but hav...

Hey Everyone! So today I saw a dermatologist who prescribed me Retin-A Micro. I suffer mostly from non-inflammatory acne/closed comedones. I had a lot of whiteheads and bumps under the skin. I've be...

I am the EXACT same way, I just can't leave it alone. Once you start, you just can't back down until the job is completely finished haha. Picking is the worst, you always think you're doing your skin ...

It does but in order to get rid of it quickly, you may need to put extra efforts of your own. You can add nutrients in your diet which can help treats such problems, and also, you can try consulting s...

My skin scars very easily so yes, I have spots that have been there a long time. I've been using lemon juice to help fade scars, it works fairly well if done regularly. Does take a few weeks to see re...

Turmeric! I found out about this yesterday, apparently it has a lot of benefits including anti-inflammatory properties. You can either use it as a face mask or a spot treatment. Try mixing it with som...

What I've been doing is using my acne creams at night (I use Aveeno clear complexion moisturizer with salicylic acid) as well as benzoyl peroxide (2.5%). During the day I started using Cetaphil facial...

I've never had 'perfect skin', but it wasn't always bad either. Whenever I did have some bad break outs, everyone would just blame it on my 'hormones'. So, I always assumed my acne was hormonal. Aft...

My face was covered in these, both cheeks and temples and top forehead. Chromium magnesium and zinc saved my life, ice it down twice a day, sulfur ointment worked fastest for me to reduce inflammation...

Apparently you need to give it up to a year to fade on its own. "After skin has healed from acne, any color change or defect present after approximately 1 year is considered to be a permanent acne s...

I'd like to know the answer to this too! I just started yaz less than a few weeks ago (which apparently is supposed to help acne...) but has given me a serious breakout instead! And my skin wasn't too...

Witch Hazel works well but not on it's own. I use it as a toner, after I wash my face and before I apply moisturizer. Here are a few things lying around at home that may help: Lemons: Lemon Juice a...

Do you know if you can get Belara in Canada?

I know this is an older post but I'm just curious to know, did you continue with yaz? I started a little over a week ago and it has given me really bad acne.... trying to decide if I should stick it o...
