I wouldn't stress out about something like that! Just be sure to change your pillowcases 1-2 times a week like normal. You're much better off getting a good night sleep without worrying about turning ...

I also like the Neutrogena Sensitive Skin moisturizer, but I use the oil-free version without SPF (I get SPF from my BB Cream).

Don't worry, that's totally normal! Initial breakouts almost always happen on accutane and it can take up to 3 months for your skin to start really clearing. When I took it years ago the same thing ha...

Hi! Is going to the dermatologist a possibility? Since you have never dealt with this kind of thing before and you don't know what works for you/what doesn't it will be really hard to get an accurate ...

Your face is most likely red/irritated from all the different products used to clear your skin over time. All the acne products can be great for the acne itself but can definitely take their toll on a...

@RespectedFig I'm the same way with switching products! I have never tried the "water only" wash method so I'm not sure how it would work. I've heard different things from different people. I hear you...

@RespectedFig No problem! Yes, it is! Redness, dehydration, tightness, uneven texture, rough patches and most of what you've described are all symptoms along with others! Mine has been going on for aw...

CeraVe is usually good, but for some people it's awful. I've found that it isn't the best for sensitive skin. I would recommend that you look at products for sensitive skin rather than acne-prone. Pro...

Hi! Your post sounds like my life for the last half a year haha. It's literally been the most annoying thing ever. It can be described as "Sensitized Skin", which is similar to sensitive skin. The dif...

You should be using an oil-free moisturizer in the daytime with SPF. Sun exposure without SPF will cause the marks to become darker over time. Other good things for fading scars: - Aloe Vera Gel - Sea...

Hi! Spiro can really mess with your cycle at first, so I wouldn't worry too much because it's common. It's probably having more of an effect on you because you've never taken any kind of hormonal trea...

@IsoldeofCornwall Yes, Spiro is actually a blood pressure medication that is also prescribed for hormonal acne because of it's anti-androgen effects! So, I would definitely see what your doctor says i...

@IsoldeofCornwall Yes, I think the spironolactone could give you similar results! It does, like all medications, have potential side effects. I only mentioned the supplements because I got the impress...

I think you are definitely right about your acne being hormonal! I mean, the fact that is cleared up on the pill and during pregnancy is a dead giveaway. I have a feeling that doctor's offices often m...

I personally like the Vichy Aqualia Thermal Serum! It's oil-free, non-comedogenic, etc. It has hyaluronic acid in it, which is amazing for dry or dehydrated skin. I've been using it for almost a mont...

That's awesome that you found something to heal your acne!   Yes, the marks will fade naturally, but it will take time! There are a few things you can do to help speed up the process a bit...

@shmilyM Well, in the case with birth control it's different because it's hormonal. So, it's not really "purging" in the sense that you are detoxifying your body. It's the fluctuation in hormones that...

Yes, it's normal! It can take up to 3 months for your body to adjust to the hormones. Most people who go on the pill for acne experience a purge before it clears up. Hang in there!

@gentlesoul Don't worry, I definitely don't go make-up free all the time! I still wear it to work everyday and sometimes on the weekends just because it makes me feel more put together. I still have s...

I also agree with jwalk. I've never felt good about myself when I have acne. I could try to deal with it and not think about it as best as I could, but that only lasts so long. You can't really just f...

The cleanser should be fine, since it's not being left on your skin for long. Are you using a good moisturizer?

What else are you using on your skin? When I started on Clinda/Benz I had to tone down my skincare routine to accommodate for the dryness & sensitivity caused by the cream. I switched to a gentle,...
