Seems like every time I exfoliate my face feels amazing for the first day but then I start breaking out a couple days later. I guess my face is too sensitive and it's really easy to overdo it. How do ...

Every time I eat a lot of beans...black beans, pinto beans, etc I'll start getting constipated and then get a bad breakout a couple days later. This seems to happen every time. Anyone else?

This past weekend I had more potatoes than I've ever had before. Mashed, french fries, chopped. A couple days later o developed so many whiteheads...one of the worst breakouts I've had in years. I the...

Not sure if this will help you at all, but I sure hope it does in some way. I really really do. I'm a 29 year old male and have been through all the things you've described (cancelling plans,...

For some reason I'll always develop irritation and then pimples a day or two after eating chipotle. Weird thing is that I can eat other fast food, which is considered terrible (taco bell, McDonalds, e...

Looking back, I've realized that I started taking new supplements when my skin was already nearly 100% clear, just in an attempt to get it to 100%. Every time I start taking something new, even after...

Besides the obvious stop stressing (it's not that easy). I'm 30 and my face is MUCH better than it was in the past (which I'm very thankful for), but I can get some nasty breakouts on my chin and mout...

Does any doctor do this or do you have to go through a specialist or something? I suspect my adult acne is due to food allergies so I want to get tested.

I was constantly having new breakouts and as a 27 year old male, I started getting fed up with it. It destroyed my social life since I was 13. I never went on accutane because I didn't think my case w...

Started taking taurine just for the blood flow benefits and also noticed from a Google search that there seems to be nothing but positive reviews for it clearing up skin. I developed one of the worst ...

And it just clicked today...the only thing I stopped consuming were sugar free energy drinks (caffeine) and pre workouts (caffeine).   I'm wondering if caffeine was my issue all along. Anyone e...

I'm extremely suspicious that food allergies may be the cause of my adult acne. How many of you have gotten a food allergy test? Do you just go to your regular doctor or somewhere else?

Well here I am, 30 years old and I finally feel like I am able to control my acne. I'm serious when I say that I'm so damn thankful for where I am now (minimal, sometimes no acne).   I started ...

I contacted a derm office and was quoted $450 for one session, which seems like quite a bit. Could you guys recommend a better one?

I don't think my face can handle any exfoliation. I'm dealing with some bad acne right now since I exfoliated with a washcloth last week. I know its exfoliation because I've done this several times in...

I strongly believe food is the direct cause of adult acne. My opinion, of course. I have personally seen acne disappear from two friends when they changed their eating habits. The evidence is too s...

The times when I've had persistent acne, I was eating sandwiches everyday. The times when my face has been fairly clear, I was eating more whole foods, veggies, no bread. Recently I purchased some 1...

I wonder if something like benadryl will help stop the breakouts when you eat some eggs?

So in the past I've noticed whenever I would eat eggs I would feel extremely full, more full than I do if I eat a lot of another food. My face would also become itchy and red. That was back when I had...

I'm convinced now. Just the other day I had 99% clear skin, so I went ahead and used my safety razor with feather blades (sharpest blades available) to get a clean shave. Looked good the morning aft...

It also gave me painful pimples on my forehead...a place I NEVER get acne.

And I took supposedly the best kind you can get (green pastures fermented).   I'm exactly two weeks in taking it and my chin is full of whiteheads as well as a couple painful red bumps coming up...

Wow, I didn't expect such sarcastic replies. Tons of people on this site link acne to toxins in your body, and when you don't rid of all you feces...what do you think that is?   Maybe if you gu...

Since acne has a lot to do with the digestive system, try squatting to poop.   Humans have always squatted to poop up until recently when sit down toilets were introduced. When you sit down to ...

That's why I recommended the perfecta model (newest one). It does not cause any bruising and you might be red for a couple hours and then you look back to normal pretty quick. Of course you will have ...
