I don't think you should give up on the medications! You heard right, it usually does take at least 3 months for something to start working & it will usually get worse before it gets better. Since...

If your skin is feeling greasy due to it being very oily, then use oil blotting sheets to wipe off the excess oil on your face. You can buy them at any drugstore - they get rid of excess oil on the su...

It's hard to say. Since your main issue is scars and blackheads rather than severe acne your derm might not prescribe it to you. For the scarring, you might have to look into chemicals peels or laser ...

Personally, I don't think it's worth it. You should never have to develop an unhealthy relationship with food in order to achieve clear skin, biggest reason being that it's not sustainable. Can you im...

I agree with Nicmic. Cerave is very good! I used it when I was starting a new topical regimen and it helped so much with the dryness. It's very lightweight and hydrating, and I had no issues with brea...

Vitamin E is good for the skin overall, but I wouldn't expect supplementing vitamins to be a cure for acne unless you are severely deficient in something and that is what's causing it. I have taken vi...

If you don't remember having issues with the other brands of probiotics then that is probably the issue. There are a lot of different types of probiotics out there, all with different ingredients and ...

Hey, I know that Maca root can affect your hormones which might be why your skin and hair are getting greasy. A lot of women with hormonal imbalances take it to try to regulate their hormones naturall...

Hey Liz. I can relate to you. I am almost 24 and still have some scarring on my inner cheeks from my severe high school acne, even though they have faded a lot. I also have hyperpigmentation along my ...

If your blood test is in a month, you shouldn't have any problems as the alcohol will be out of your system in a few days. It is not uncommon for patients to slip up like that on accutane. I follow a ...

Like the other person said, I would contact your doctor directly to confirm it with them. I could be wrong but it sounds like an error on the pharmacy end because Clindamycin/Benzoyl Peroxide is a com...

Hey, this is a bit late but yes that is correct. Using too much acne medication can irritate your skin, dry it out and in turn make your acne worse. You don't want to use too many products with SA and...

It looks like your acne could be hormonal. Hormonal imbalances can certainly lead to acne (primarily along the jawline) and oily skin. With oily skin you will then be more prone to getting whiteheads ...

I second the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Foundation. If you want a higher coverage BB cream that is good for oily skin you can try Tarte's BB cream.

My advice is don't read TOO much into the reviews. Everything is relative to YOU. On the reviews for anything, there are always people that say it made them breakout. TBH I feel like half the time it'...

I believe it. I had the best skin of my life in college when I was drinking a ton, eating crap & taking pills to cure hangovers. Fast forward to me living a healthy lifestyle, eating super healthy...

I used to take vitamin D for awhile but I didn't experience any side effects from it. Try taking it with food if you aren't already. I've heard that some people can experience negative effects from ta...

I agree with the above poster. I have experimented with different vitamins in the past, but with my acne being hormonal and cystic the only thing that helped me was the birth control pill. I still tak...

Well jesus, with that attitude I'm not surprised. No offense but if you are referring to girls with acne as "lower quality girls" who aren't hot (AKA ugly) then you don't even deserve to be with ANY g...
