I was on Ortho Tricyclen Lo, and, for me personally, it held back most of my acne. I'd still have some little bumps here and there but for the most part, my skin reacted well to it. I don't remember e...

I would immediately stop using the clarisonic. That sucker must have been to rough for my skin 'cause it broke me out when I used it. You should go back to your ob/gyn and request a different birth co...

Try glycolic acid peels and a spot lightening treatment. You could also add a tiny bit of baking soda to a bit of your face wash every 2-3 days for a gentle exfoliation.

Oh that is horrible timing. You must be so anxious....well, there is a way to hide it! And don't be scared, but you can use makeup! Now don't think drag queen, you just need to hide the one spot is al...

I'm sorry you're feeling this way and going through all this BS. It's especially tough at your age. I know you'll probably hear this over and over but don't give up. I know it seems like you're trying...

Do you know what undertone you have? You might be able to find a pale foundation at the drugstore. Maybelline Fit Me and Loreal Tru Match are some pretty good foundations, but I can't recall their sha...

I had a customer who was clearly a health nut. He stared at my face for about 10 seconds and then told me I should apply flaxseed oil to my face. He kept going on and on, but I just smiled and tuned ...

The problem is clearly the skin care products. Is it mandatory that you use them while you work there? Your skin is more important than their products, if you're having a bad reaction, just go back to...

Try ordering off amazon. If they don't have the panoxyl brand, just use a different brand that has a bunch of good reviews. I suggest using the milder version all over (if you need it) and the stronge...

I feel your pain. I'm quit similar to you, oily face except super dry around the mouth and in my nose creases. I found that cream cleansers are really great. I loved foam cleansers when I was young, b...

My kids are only 8 and 7 but I already know they're in for it when they hit their teens. My father had horrible acne, and so did I. My girl had a pimple or two a couple months ago, which turned out to...

I think it might just depend on your skin type and ethnic background. I'm part asian, so all my hyperpigmentation turns from red to brown. I haven't seen the white happen before, but a lot of people's...

It's so great that you're positive about this. If I could go back to when I was your age, I'd tell myself a few things that probably would have prevented my acne from going from bad to the mess of ind...

This might be TMI, but I take a warm shower and then apply PanOxl face wash to my shoulders and upper chest area and let it sit for 3-5 minutes. I rinse off with cool water. I get a few breakouts ever...

Chemical peels, vitamin c serum during the daytime, retinol product at night. Apply sunscreen in the morning because your skin becomes more sensitive to the sun when using these products. If you have ...

Glycolic acid works. So does Lactic acid, mandelic acid, salicylic acid... etc. It all really depends on how sensitive your skin is, what it can handle, how patient you are. I've tried peels with all ...

From past experience, the dermatologist wants active acne to lessen/go down before they do a treatment. I had to get my acne down as much as possible before I could get Laser done.

I've grown to hate BB cream with a passion. I'm a light-medium brown with yellow/gold undertones, and no BB cream has ever worked for me. Missha would have worked...if it had been more yellow. It ende...

I used to be bad at it when I first started using makeup. But you know what that corny saying is... "Practice makes perfect." You hate it because it's frustrating for you, but you go back to using it ...

I haven't had any problems with the Neutrogena skin clearing foundation, the Neutrogena healthy skin foundation, and the Maybelline Fit Me foundation, and the Loreal True Match. I gave up on BB creams...

Hi there! I'm new here but I wanted to add my two cents once I saw your post since I'm a makeup lover that suffers from acne. From my experience, the 3 most important things to have is a really good o...
