Hi @jPablo! I am female, I am 26 years old. I have had acne in some form throughout my teenage years but my acne worsened in my 20s. I would describe my acne as moderate to severe. I also had lots of ...

My acne is healed. I healed my skin with a combination of: Diet - I do not eat gluten, I avoid dairy products, lots of fruits and vegetables. I still enjoy my food and eat out on occasion. A...

Hi there @oliviajade64! Quitting skin picking was one of the hardest parts of my journey healing my skin. You are definitely not alone! I started a thread some time ago with some tips that helped me.....

Hi Maria, Could I ask you what oil you are using for your makeup removal and moisturiser? It is very important that you are not using a pore clogging or irritating oil. I would also recommend you look...

In my opinion, standing in front of the mirror in natural daylight, with the light coming from in front of you if possible (not from the side or behind) is the most accurate representation of your ski...

I have been experimenting for about 2 weeks with completely eliminating exfoliation from my skincare routine. I have very dry, dehydrated, and extremely sensitive acne-prone skin. I used to mistake i...

Hi @behumble. Please don't use comedogenic oils for that purpose! Coconut oil will only really work for people with extremely good skin that is not prone to clogging/blackheads or acne. Even removing ...

I'm not a doctor, but this looks like seborrheic dermatitis or folliculitis - it might be worth doing some reading into these conditions. It appearing over night like that is quite unusual though. You...

Had a very slight breakout on my right cheek. Just 3 or 4 little red dots. Putting it down to either quitting the ACV toner or the bowl of porridge I had at a friends house (I've been avoiding porridg...

This regimen has been going great. I've actually quit using the ACV all together. Now I just wet a cotton pad in luke warm water and gently swipe it over my face if I feel like I need 'exfoliation' - ...

I've splashed luke warm water on my face twice since I started this regimen. I haven't exfoliated once and everything seems to be going well. I've had a cold for the past week or so, thus blowing my n...

The pores in my nose have always been very open with little black/grey dots. I believe this is hereditary and I've read that it may just be sebaceous filaments as opposed to a nose covered in blackhea...

It's been a week since I started following this regimen. I'm seeing no negative results so far. I've splashed my face with water once, and today I used the 20/80 dilution ACV toner. I'd ideally like t...

I hadn't logged in to acne.org for a few months since my acne had subsided using a combination of an extreme diet overhaul and the modified caveman regimen (you can read about this further here if you...

On 2/1/2017 at 7:49 AM, tbinybg said: I think it depends. I only use water to wash my body (soap only for privates and feet) and most of my body is naturally well moisturized. But I do find tha...
