So I'm finally on Yaz for around one year. I have experienced different stages of acne problem throughout this one year   Being on Yaz:  Just started: mild acne, oil production...

Hello guys, so long story short: I've been taking birth control for nearly 9-10 months now. I got through the initial breakout stage. My skin is no longer oily. But I still get pimples (sometimes even...

Hello guys! For the whole summer I've been trying to be gluten free and to cut out sugar or any junk food. At first it was great, I felt very proud of how clean my diet was. But after a while I starte...

YES. Just a while back I tried taking a probiotics supplements and my skin flared up pretty badly. I still wasn't sure if the breakouts were directly linked to the probiotics but my skin did calm down...

Hi everyone, just wondering if any of you has ever tried taking maca root either in powder form or capsules for acne. I've been taking it for a little over a week. I only take 250mg every day. I have...

Hey guys, so I find it strange that the oil production of my face seems to be constantly changing even when I've been on the same birth control pills for the past 6-7 months. Two months in I had exp...

In my personal opinions, it really depends on the root cause of your acne. Yes there are a lot of cases in which people experience great improvement from taking vitamins supplements. In fact I just vi...

I tried taking saw palmetto with my birth control pills for a little more than a month and during that time my skin got from being still fairly oily to absolutely beautiful and normal. I don't think s...

Hello guys, I think I'm losing the fight with birth control too. I've been on Yaz for almost 7 months already and yet things have just kept taking a turn for the worse for the last few months. First ...

Hello guys I'm getting desperate here now. So I've been on Yaz for over six months already and ever since my fifth pack my acne has really token a turn for the worse. I mean WAY WORSE. For the past m...

I wish the "cure" for hormonal acne is as simple as a paleo diet. I eat really clean and exercise regularly, but that does nothing for preventing my hormonal cystic acne, sadly.

Hey guys, I would love to know what topical treatments have you been using and how have they worked for you!! - Benzoyl Peroxide I have been using benzoyl peroxide since day one I have acne. I find t...

I did finish reading this book too! I do love that it has inspired me to really dramatically improve my diet. I think that no matter it's for our acne issue or overall physical or emotional health, ea...

From my personal experiences, guys don't really pay that much attention to the imperfections on girls' skin as much as girls themselves. At least when I first dated my boyfriend, I had acne and needed...

Simple. Eat only what comes from the nature, ditch the man made processed stuff (even including bread). Ditch milk.  That is good enough  

Hey guys, So I've been on birth control for around 5-6 months already and recently I've suddenly gotten really bad cystic acne that I didn't have for the past few months. Ever since I went back on b...

Such great news I used to use a Differin 0.2% gel prescribed by the dermatologist daily, but now I'm not seeing him I only use BHA and BP gel. Seriously contemplating to go back to using Differin ins...

Hello everyone, So every day I apply a generous amount of a 2% BHA gel all over my face, plus a little bit of the Acne.org BP gel on areas where I'm more prone to breakout. I know it's more drying an...
