I don't about you guys but for me, CHANGING ROOMS have the worst lighting for acne! You just feel so terrible. I also had the dentist sitch the other week in the xray machine they had this bigass mirr...

thats severe in my mind, go on accutane ASAP! Will save you a ton of time! Trust me, those are cystic acne, most of them....only way is to deal with it internally. That's not true for everyone. At ...

That's why people who have acne for 20 years go to doctors for 20 years and have acne the whole time. Because doctors DON'T tell you these things, and they're actually important for the process.

I personally use Olay's foaming cleanser for Combination skin and I can't imagine the day I have to move on from it. I just love it! The bottles are all a little different, they're blue but one has pi...

I've noticed a lot of people are calling the regimen a "time-waster" and I just wanted to chime in. I know that it does take more time than a one-step face wash, but it's not really an unacceptable am...

I just wanted to join in, it does take a very long time to do the regimen, but I find the longer I've been on it the less I have to wait for my face to dry between each step. I also wash my hands in b...

Thanks for your answers and support everyone! I wanted to write a little update and say that when I saw my parents last weekend, they told me my skin was looking better than it ever has without me bri...

Wow, i can relate to so many of those. And the dentist... I thought i was the only one with that problem. And to continue the list:... For the first time being grateful for your freckles (for which...

Maybe you were stressing out a little about seeing your parents? Like maybe you worried that you might break out before you see them and as the date approaches it just builds and builds until it resul...

I know this feeling all too well. Mind if I rant alongside your rant? I've been on spiro, bcp, and Tazorac 0.05% for six weeks. Add in some Cefdinir (antibiotic) for two. I just started showing signs ...

Let me start off with this, this will be a short rant. I'm not so much looking for advice as just getting out my frustrations. If rants aren't your thing I won't be offended if you don't respond... O...

Putting on make-up even when you're not going anywhere because you can't have your roommates seeing your acne!! (What a waste of make-up...) this was my entire college experience!

That obsession to look in the mirror every 20 mins to see if your skin got clearer ...and finding out that it got worse!

I love that, hoorahmiz!! Yay for '86 babies. Soulmates for sure!!

I'm having trouble quoting anyone's posts but oh my gosh, pumpercrib- I wrote about that earlier in this thread, is it not pure torture? Also the dentist's chair- the dentist and the assistant hoveri...

You're about a week in and it's very common to have that "I can't go on" feeling. I thought I would have to stop too because it hurt so bad and my skin was so tight. But it does lessen and get better....

It's almost scary how accurate that weekly predictions list on the homepage has been for my Regimen progress. No new acne for me at all on week 4, and now it's around 5 or 6 and I feel them cropping u...

Well since you nice peeps are offering advice and to answer questions, I do have a question. I was going to start a new thread but I'd rather ask here... If you read the weekly list at the front of t...

Okay, this is offically the most relatable thing ever for me, it's just so accurate. A few things I'd love to add though, hopefully I'm not the only one going through these annoying things;;   /...

  "Why are you wearing makeup to the beach??" *Having anticipated this question and having the answer "it's the only things with SPF that doesn't break me out" at the ready. (It's actually t...

Lots of people say acne is genetic and if you have it, someone in your family should or did, too. Personally, I'm flying solo in my family when it comes to acne. My sister's got perfect porcelain dol...

But yes this thread is gold! I feel like there's so many acne-sufferers out there....why do I not know anyone who can relate to me in real life?! Right?? That's what I want to know! You guys are it ...

oh gosh, i think goodz19 was probably right about the sebum plug idea. i was thinking it was way bigger. I would still get checked out but try not to worry too much. and also, don't mess with dermatol...

being interviewed by the news...with sunlight "bathing" your face..oh god,everybody gets to see your acne on TV ;( OMG i have horrific premonitions of that all the time! even though i'll probably ne...

I have had almost the exact same situation with nieces and nephews when they hit your chin or cheek and your eyes water in horrific pain (ugh it hurts just thinking about it) I've also had some of the...
