I knew it was expensive but didn't realize how much. That's just the meds. Then you have, I'm assuming monthly derm visits + blood tests and whatever other products you may need to help with side effe...

hope everyone is doing the best they can with the holidays rolling around. I know it can be difficult going to social gatherings and seeing family, the comments and trying to not compare yourself to o...

have you found luck with the clarisonic thus far? - I would also stick to the regimen as listed but I'm just curious do you feel youve seen results with it.

do you have a new routine you'd like to try now or do you plan on just letting your skin adjust to coming off the regimen?

yes you can incorporate it into your own regimen. I'd read up on the acne.org regimen and see where you'd like to add AHA into yours, see if they overlap. I emphasize baby steps when using it because ...

After 8 months I'd say try another regimen unfortunately. I've been finding results using a SA cleanser and AHA/moisturizer afterwards. I hope you find something that works for you

Hm, rub it in well and let it sink in before going outside?

I don't recommend antibiotics, I was on them twice and it cleared me and the acne came right back afterwards. It's a very temporary fix. You're aware that antibiotics effect bcp effectiveness? What ki...

have you followed the regimen to the letter? any modifications? do you use jojoba oil to balance out flakiness? - what other methods have you tried in the past?

I also hope it works out for you. Just follow the steps accordingly and if you feel to make any adjustments for yourself, please do.

A lot of people don't see results until about 4+ months in. I would start AHA once you feel used to BP and start SLOWLY. Like a pea sized amount every 2-3 days and see how that goes. My skin did not l...

call the # on the back of your card and see if they can tell you

Not great, I am still keeping up with my regimen and I was doing well but now I'm bad again. It's the same roller coaster as ten years ago. To top off my frustration I'm the healthiest I've ever been,...

I also moisturize with the regimen moisturizer and then put some jojoba on my hands and pat it on my face, it's definitely helped with flakes/dryness.

I don't think bp would cause your hair to fall out? The only effect I am familiar with is bleaching. Not that I'm a scientist or expert, but I put it on my face and still have facial hair. I'd give it...

Have your asked your derm?

I've heard it's difficult to get SSI in general, and if you do the benefits aren't that great. As for work, it's hard. I've had some awful hideous painful breakouts at my current job but .. I just had...

I'm bitter. I've had acne since I was about 12/13, now I'll be 27 this year. I've had very brief, veeery brief times of decent skin [not clear mind you] through a combination of ways that didn't last...

have you considered seeing a counselor or a therapist to discuss these issues?

It depends on how you feel about your skin at this point. For me when I was at my lowest of the low I went to a dermatologist and was put on a topical and antibiotics and I got worse before I got bett...

I concur with the others, take it slow and in build up in amount. If anything add jojoba oil, I find that helps a lot.

At night, do it before bed. In the morning do it when you wake up either before you eat or after. As far as avoiding water, once it's absorbed you don't need to worry about it coming off or anything.

I don't recommend antibiotics. I was on them twice and sure they helped but my acne always came back and I didn't like the fact that I was taking antibiotics when I wasn't actually ill. Theyre only a ...

sending good vibes to everyone,,,,
