ClearDreaming

Are you in the USA? I get that the most effective option appears to be Accutane, but it is also a very harsh drug that can be very difficult to take. I think it's really important to find the Accuta...

I found that when I came of Accutane it was easier to work out what actually broke me out as my skin had been clear so it was easier to notice- if that makes sense. Maybe have a think about what you'...

I had most of those symptoms you mentioned for the first few weeks of Accutane, and they did stop as my body became accustomed to it. -Your skin will get worse at the beginning - I found it stopped m...

One of the members on here was on the show. I personally have no interest in watching it, surprisingly BBC science shows are always badly informed and contain a lot of spin.

The idea of a BB cream is that it's a tinted foundation with good ingredients that benefit your skin while you are wearing it. Most cremes advertised as 'BB' creams outside of asia tend to be full of ...

The holistic forum looks at natural ways to cure acne normally through supplementation and diet. It is found on the main board index, or this link here:

I don't think changing your diet for a month would truly be long enough. All skin treatments should be tested for 3 months as that allows a complete renewal cycle. If you are all out of medical option...

A lot of topicals do make it worse, as they cause everything to surface. Acne treatment is all about the long game, and you really have to try things out for a few months to see if they will work. How...

Breaking out on your lips might indicate an allergy to something in one of the chapsticks. I have been using carmex, since it has lanolin in, you can buy lanolin on its own and its meant to be very ...

I think if you are having these doubts then you need to reconsider being with him. There are boys who will love you even with bad skin. I hate not wearing make-up with my bf, but I know he doesnt care...

I dont think it's noticeable personally but you could try a tinted or green moisturiser? It might take the edge off.

If you have been on it a long time, even at a low dose the chances are you will have reached your cumulative dose. You can work it out, add up all the accutane youve taken, then divide it by your body...

If you go to an estee lauder counter they will give you a 10 day sample of it over here, assume its the same in the us. might be worth it as is a little pricey!

Seconding the hate for colorstay, everyone seems to love it, but why was a mystery to me. The best thing to eliminate the look of pores is to actually use a primer, or use a brush when applying you...

You normally take unused prescriptions back to a pharmacy for safe disposal.

brevoxyl is just a BP treatment, the packet should say what percentage. Google suggests it was 4%, so if it was irritating just go down a bit, you can ask for BP in any local chemist. Dan suggests 2.5...

I hear so much about this show online. I might have to give it a go at some point...along with that weird obsession half the internet appears to have with the my little pony cartoon.

If the treatment you are using is working but just drying out your skin, just use the oxy every other day as opposed to every day. Your acne doesnt look that bad, most of it just looks like marks, the...

Accutane can cause depression and if you are already prone to it it is strongly advised you dont take it. There have been several cases of people committing suicide on the drug. It also slows down ...

No cycline antibiotics are 'allowed' but you could take one from a different family, like a mycine antibiotic. Either way your Dr should know if you tell them you are taking accutane.

The only type of hair removal I would use while on accutane is plucking and threading. Since none of them involve chemicals/ or pulling on the skin. Considering you arent even supposed to use other to...

I had an initial breakout, but redness etc wise hasnt been too much of a problem. My face has never really been sore, or particularly flakey, etc. But UK derms tend to dose lower than others I've noti...

I have seen a user mention la roche poseys tolereine moisturiser, you could also have a look at the vichy brand. I know that these are both companies that typically produce skin ph products and are de...

In theory you have to eat with accutane as it is a fat absorbent drug, without fat to bind too it will just pass through your system. I say in theory as no one is really sure how the drug works. The p...

Leave it alone an put any healing ointment on it you have. Here in the UK sudocrem is a good one, I'm not sure what a US equivalent would be. Keep it well moisturised too
