Hi sprovencio, It is perfectly normal that your skin is breaking out after quitting a long-term benzoyl peroxide application. In my experience it is one of the most difficult topical acne treatments t...

HI Canucklehead12, Excited to see that you are keeping a log! Sorry you are suffering from seb derm. I've had seb derm in my eyebrows (strange I know!) for years and it can be such a pain. Must say y...

Hey I just read your entire thread and then realised how recent it was! I started this 4 days ago now and my skin is very dry, super itchy and breaking out not awful but not great either. Dealing wit...

Day 50 (Round 2) Just a quick note to say that today I noticed that the dead skin mask on my cheeks was a little... muddy looking? (Lovely I know.) Perhaps from the residue of makeup that I had taken...

I just wanted you to know I have been following this post since you started   Love hearing updates from you. Please don't be ashamed about posting pics of your skin at its worst, sometimes it's...

Day 48 (Round 2) My skin is looking great. At the moment I have no pimples. I have scars and I have had one or two yellow headed spots while I was staying at home (maybe to do with the change in diet...

"4. No one else see's my acne like I do."   Just wondering, why does everyone say this? People on here have said things like we're our own worst enemies, no one else notices our skin like we do,...

It seems simple enough to someone that doesn't struggle with acne to believe these mantras, but it's honestly quite challenging when you're feeling self conscious to wrap your head around them.  ...

I have started trying to consciously practice seeing myself as more than my acne.   This might seem like an obvious practice, or something that should come naturally; but for me it is defiantly ...

Currently I have 3 spots worth noting on my face. One on my right cheek which is the most severe and two flat and kind of dormant, but large enough to notice, spots on my right cheek. I am going throu...

Day 26   Okay, so I'm going to post a full update of what's been happening with my skin since I went on holiday.   The first few days I was away were pretty horrible skin-wise. I was still...

Day 21 (Round 2) - Mini Update   I am still on my holiday and I plan to post a detailed account of the steps that my skin took in the 11 days that I have been on holiday for anyone who is keepin...

Day 10 (Round 2)   Okay so just a quick update as I'm trying not to obsess too much in these early stages. Things have been okay. I am going on holiday tomorrow and I have very bad PMS (sorry fo...

Hi Amy27,   Just wanted to say congrats on the progress! I'm so glad you are pleased with the results of the oatmeal wash!   Best of luck with your acne continuing to clear up!   JLo...

Hi Jlopez! Thank you! very informative! I have always thought of going gluten free, but it concerns me how fattening all the gluten free foods are. I feel like not all but many gluten free foods sub...

Keep it up JLopez! And yeah, popping whiteheads is never a good idea. It usually leads to multiple whiteheads as the bacteria spreads.   I haven't been on here much either and just stopped in to...

Hi Ninergirl,   Okay prepare for a big post!   Frankly your diet sounds great, and although I am a firm believer in experimenting with elimination diets, I also know from personal experien...

JLopez, I too somehow find that comforting. Lol On my first fay again! Havent picked! (well tbh I picked some that were ready like on the surface and pretty much going to fall off like JLopez said so...

Hey ninergirl,   Let me start by saying I am in no position to give you advice on Accutane, as although I have been recommend it multiple times by separate dermatologists, and even told it is th...

The caveman regimen worked amazingly well for me!   I went about 50 odd days without washing my face and kept a log on acne.org. My skin improved by the day (following some initial breaking out ...
