Yeah have a go with clay masks and let us know how you get on! I’ve used that neutrogena oil free moisturiser as well, didn’t do much to stop the oil for me to be honest. For me I’ve found Garnier Pu...

You can purchase moisturisers designed to help manage oily skin. So you can still use the acne treatments, and then finish with a suitable moisturiser that will help to stop your skin looking shiny fo...

You’re right about Accutane truly being a last resort, especially as you obviously had some difficulties whilst on it. I would highly recommend cutting out dairy. I found doing so to be one of the mo...

That’s good you’ve got some treatments that seem to be working. Good decision to go dairy free as well, that’s a very common trigger food for acne. It’s quite often the case that people’s skin is bet...

It’s worth getting an appointment with a dermatologist, I’m sure they can give you some help. I personally wouldn’t be considering Accutane, as there are other options out there to try beforehand. Th...

I’m not sure what the science says in terms of BP’s percentage and effectiveness rates. However, personally I found 10% to be too drying, despite working up to it over a number of years. When I return...

That sounds quite strange, as you’d obviously expect it to be the other way around! It’s possible something you’ve eating or doing at home then is triggered it. Have you tried an elimination diet to ...

That’s impossible to say in my opinion. Going on Accutane may or may not effect your skin clearing up naturally long term. If you knew for sure that your skin was going to be clear by a set age natur...

Yeah I can’t see antibiotics directly being a cause of acne, unless you’re allergic to a certain ingredient. However, if they’re proving ineffective after a prolonged period of time, I can’t see any r...

It’s up to you if you decide to go back on Accutane. As you’ve been in on it multiple times previously, I personally wouldn’t go for it again. As you’re quite likely to relapse again. I relapsed afte...

As above, I would start with a lower percentage as it’s quite strong stuff so allow your skin to get used to it gradually.

Have you tired a different moisturiser to see if it has the same effects? I can’t imagine burning skin can be healthy.

I think I see what you’re saying. Unfortunately there is no way of knowing if your skin will clear itself by a set age. Personally I was on Accutane when I was about 22/23, I’m now 27. It worked very...

I’ve suffered with an oily t-zone for years. The best solution I’ve found is getting a good moisturiser. For me I’ve found Garnier Pure Active Matte Control to work very well. Stops my oily skin for ...

I came off BP last year after using it for years. Slowly weaned off it over a few weeks. Gradually reducing it is probably a better idea. As mentioned above it’s about finding the cause of the acne th...
