Hi everyone, I just wanted to share what has worked for me in case I can help someone struggling with hormonal acne. It's nothing really new or original - I have to give a lot of credit to "The Big Ho...

You guys! I haven't had a single pimple in over a month. NOT A ONE! I decided that this will be my last post in this thread unless something bad happens with my skin (knock on wood). If I make it ...

Hi! Spotting is a common side effect, especially if you have just switched to a different pill. In that case it usually will stop after you've been taking the same pill for about 3 months. If it's ...

Update: Another week later and my skin is still clear! I'm amazed and I really hope this lasts

Ok so I toughened up and decided to post the pictures. This is what my skin looks like right now. Currently I have no active blemishes; all the spots are hyperpigmentation/scars. And sorry for the hea...

I've been afraid to update for a while in case I jinx it, but as it stands right now, MY SKIN IS CLEAR. I haven't had a new pimple in over 2 weeks! I was thinking of posting some pictures, but I'm wa...

Rashy areas are gone thank god. Not too much else to report on, acne seems like it's improving overall, but so slowly that I can't tell if it truly is getting better or not. I'm so impatient, lol

Ughhhhh. My acne is not too bad at the moment but now I have somehow irritated my skin, especially my forehead and inner cheeks and they have raised/red rashy areas and I don't know what I did. The on...

This is how I feel too. My skin never really gets to a point where it's completely clear and perfect, but I will stop breaking out for long stretches of time and I think finally something might be wor...

I've been taking the stinging nettle twice a day for a few days in a row now, so I'm going to stick with this dose for a good long while and just wait for it to do what it's going to do (if anything)....

I had no new breakouts for about a week, then lo and behold, I broke out again :/ I'm beyond frustrated. I'm so jealous of everyone with clear skin and I just want it so badly

My face is doing much better since my last post, but once again I don't know if I can count on that trend to continue...I'm definitely on an emotional rollercoaster with all these ups and downs. I st...

Skin seems like it's getting worse.  I'm really stressed out which isn't helping anything.  I hope I just need to give it more time because if this doesn't end up being the sol...

Taking the stinging nettle and saw palmetto together seems fine so far.  I think I will up the dose soon and then update with how that goes.  For a while there I really thought...

Ok so I took my first capsule of stinging nettle extract today (the one I'm using is Now brand, 250 mg). I'm not going to keep track of the days anymore by counting because I think it will get confusi...

I want so badly to feel comfortable without makeup, to get up in the morning, wash my face, put some moisturizer on and just leave instead of spending an hour+ on foundation and concealer. My boyfrie...

Day 42: I usually update less frequently but I decided I want to take the leap into adding more herbs sooner than I originally said. I ordered stinging nettle and pumpkin seed extracts which should g...

Day 40: A little whitehead pimple came up on my upper lip a day ago, another place I have not broken out in a very long time. Not sure what's going on, but the rest of my face seems calm at the momen...

Day 37: Those two spots on my chin would not budge for the longest time. One of them is gone now, the other one is now a little whitehead. I have one other pimple on my forehead, but luckily it's in ...

Hi! I have never used Differin so my post may or may not be helpful but I did use Retin-A for about the same amount of time as you and had a similar thing happen. I was getting huge clusters of acne a...

On 12/9/2015, 9:30:03, thereisalwayshope said: I hope you get your shipment soon. Saw palmetto has been doing great things for my skin when I take it consistently! Thanks! My shipment ca...

Day 29: I was out shopping today and looked in a few stores for a new bottle of saw palmetto (I missed a few days but I spilled a few capsules from my bottle of 30 so I just ran out), but they didn't...

Day 26:  I'm not too happy with my face at the moment. There is a deep pimple on my chin trying to come through, and for some reason I keep breaking out on my inner cheeks, the...

Day 21: I missed a few days of taking the saw palmetto due to traveling around, etc. I'm hoping to get back on track with both that and my regular vitamin regimen tomorrow (I also take 30mg zinc and...

Day 14: The bumps I mentioned last week took a while to go down but they're mostly gone now and my skin looks pretty smooth. I'm very happy with the recent improvement, but I'm pretty sure it's nothi...
