My skin was behaving so well this summer (a little sun helps...with SPF!) but after summer ended, my acne really flared up badly. I live in Minnesota and it gets very dry in the fall/winter.   I...

This is great information, and encouraging. I am struggling with my skin, and have had problems off & on since puberty, but especially since going off BCP about 5 years ago (I'm 35). I have trie...

sounds like people just need to mix and match vitamins/supplements until they find the combination that works for them. my acne is similar, and although it's not severe, it's almost *always* cysts, ma...

I've swapped out one thing from my routine. Rather than using the harsh Clearasil pads (I ran out, and didn't like them that much anyway), I started using an S.A. gel. I started with Juice Beauty seru...

Still very clear but impatient with red marks. I am switching it up a bit to combat the discoloration on my cheeks. I'm going to continue with Phisoderm, walgreens brand scar gel and neutrogena AHA wi...

We had great sunny weather last week and my face is even clearer as a result. I know that the sun tempers my acne but does anyone know what it does for red marks?   I have heard that tanning can...

I was worried about that mid-March vacation and it turns out that I had nothing to worry about. My skin was alright on the trip and then when I got back, I changed up my products. I think I found some...

All clear!!!   I am happy to report that I have been 99% acne free for the last three weeks. Unfortunately, this has not been due to the natural regimen though. While I'm disappointed I couldn't ...

i'm still keeping up this routine (above) but i added a little jojoba oil in with my AHA moisturizer. i like it but just at night. i put just a tiny bit in if my face is flaky and i need to wear makeu...

i haven't been drinking milk for a long time. i actually bought my first 1/2 gallon in a year at the grocery store last week (to make bran muffins) so i don't think that dairy is my problem. i wish it...

I've kept up my routine diligently for the last two months and have seen some improvement. My acne is not fully healed and I know there's no cure, but my skin is generally looking much better than it ...

Here's an update on what's happenin' on my face It is looking MUCH better than it was a month ago. Although the breakouts are still coming, they are less frequent, more manageable and definitely impro...

Here's an update on what's happenin' on my face since I started this regimen about a month ago. It is looking MUCH better than it was a month ago. Although the breakouts are still coming, they are les...

When you say hormonal acne, do you mean acne that comes and goes along with your cycle? Because almost all acne is related to hormones with exceptions like allergic reactions and pores clogged by top...

It's been about a week since I posted and my skin looks pretty great. The last three days were the clearest I've been in months! I only had one big zit on my forehead (which is normally clear, but oh ...

Hey everybody,   I just wanted to document my progress and hopefully this will help others as well.   I have always had clear skin but started getting horrible acne after I stopped birth co...

I broke out a lot during my period week while I wasn't taking vitex. I was also going out a lot that week for some reason, so it could also be the later nights and drinking a little more than usual. I...

Hey thanks for the tips!   Right now I'm also trying a lot of new things at once. I started using Vitex last week, along with a Dermal Health blend that the herbalist recommended. It has burdock ...

So, I'm new here and trying to figure out the best inside and outside therapy for this mess that is my face. I know my acne is connected to hormones and going off BCP and I really want to use effectiv...
