After a little over 3 months on BC, I am 99% clear of active breakouts. I still have some scarring and hyperpigmentation, but I can live with that for now. My biggest problem is that it hasn't done a...

Wow, thanks so much for the info!! I'm definitely going to look into this more.

I haven't really been applying it to my nose, just my cheeks where my actual acne/scars is. But yes it is helping! The scars are slowly fading and my skin is getting smoother. But it's only fair to sa...

Has anyone had personal experience with adderall effecting acne and/or oily skin? Or does anyone have links to some research that discusses this? There seems to be a LOT about it on the internet but ...

Yes, it is possible to over-exfoliate and your description matches that! Over-exfoliation can remove too much of your surface skin cells, causing the skin to lose it's texture and reflect light more e...

I would not. I also don't wear it unless I'm going to be outside for an extended period of time. If I'm going out for like 15 minutes or something then I would not where it because I enjoy getting som...

Yes, pretty sure it's the same! Just a different name. How did it work out for him? And I know, it stinks!

Has anyone used this with any luck? I've been using it twice a day for about 2 weeks with no change. Any other tips for dealing with this condition? My Seb Derm patches are in between my eyebrows, the...

Everything sounds good to me except for the salicylic acid & benzoyl peroxide part. I don't think it's necessary to use them both - most people just pick one as to not over-treat the skin. Using ...

A sudden change in climate and diet can certainly affect your skin. That's the reason why a lot of people experience breakouts when they move. I think it's the change that's affecting your skin rather...

Lol I feel you. I do have a few tips that could help: - Eat before you go out AND before you go to bed. If you can snack while your out that's even better! This will not only help the hangover but it ...

Hi everyone! I recently incorporated a topical cream into my routine after a visit to the derm and have been experiencing the expected dryness & flakiness. I use good/gentle skincare products that...

I think you should focus on eating more GOOD carbs rather than avoiding them altogether so that you can make sure you are getting enough calories and avoid dropping pounds at an unhealthy rate. As Ken...

Yup, I'ts totally normal and almost everyone does it haha! Personally, I don't see anything wrong with that.  When I drink I always end up eating unhealthy stuff and when I'm hungover I st...

Can you think of anything that happened a year ago that could have caused it? Any changes in lifestyle, diet, medications, stress levels, etc..? It could be hormonal. This is a possibility if the anti...

I'll also add that I am currently taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen. It has been almost 3 full months and I am almost completely clear! 17 minutes ago, snarkygirl said: Hi, for me yaz didn't make m...

The only person that can answer that is your doctor, and even they can't be sure of the effect on you until you try it yourself. Both of those birth control pills are good for acne, so they likely sha...

What you've described does sound a lot like purging, but also a mix of both. Since the products you are using contain active ingredients, it is common to see some flakiness & more breakouts (due t...

Wait so you want to start birth control, only take it for 6 weeks and then stop it? It can take your body up to 3 months to even get used to birth control/for your periods to become regulated by it.

Getting prescribed accutane doesn't always mean you have to have super severe acne. It also how to do with how persistent your acne is in terms of how long you've had it and what other pills/medicatio...

I agree with the above post, I would go to a dermatologist. They will be able to answer many of your questions about acne and prescribe you something to treat it. It could save you a lot of time and m...

Don't read too too much into foods that could cause acne, otherwise you'll end up cutting out an endless list of things haha. Trust me if you Google "Does _______ cause acne" for anything I bet someth...
