I have used manuka honey as a face mask and liked it. Honey is very good for acne-prone skin because it has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. I have also tried jojoba oil and personally...

I have never heard of anyone taking another medication while on accutane ever, seeing as accutane is the strongest and most successful med for acne on it's own. That seems really unnecessary to me, an...

What have you tried from the derm? There are a lot of different treatments. And have you waited out each treatment long enough to see if it actually works (usually 3-4 months)? If nothing has worked t...

Thanks for the reply. I was able to find an article that said that it can have the opposite effect in some people until their body adjusts to it. I am going to stick it out.

If it's any consolation, it honestly doesn't look bad at all! Our skin always seems 10x worse in our own eyes. It's probably just a little irritated because you've been switching up your products so m...

In response to the above comment, just so you know, abstinence is considered a form of birth control. Most people get under the impression that you NEED to be on the pill to take accutane. If you aren...

Anyone? Can't seem to find info on this anywhere on the internet. It's all just people saying their skin got super oily after stopping the pill, not starting it.

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone has experienced a change in the oil production of their skin when starting birth control? I am about to finish my 2nd pack of Ortho Tri Cyclen and since I have s...

100%.

I mean I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't think that the pill would make you gain weight within a month. I started the BC pill about 3-4 weeks before going on vacation and did not have any problems...

You could always try taking one of those "hair, skin & nails" multivitamins. Trader Joe's has one for pretty cheap, that's what I have been using the past few weeks. They usually contain all the v...

Hi. Well first off it's very nice to see that she has such a good partner that cares a lot about what she's going through. Having someone try to understand and be helpful is a nice comfort. Acne is em...

Don't worry. You're only a little over a month in. Most people don't start seeing improvements until the 3rd month, and their acne usually gets worse before it gets better as it is bringing everything...

Wow, incredible! You don't even look like you even had acne. Happy for you

What acne....? Seriously I don't even see one pimple.

My acne looks very similar to yours and is in the same area of my face. It's that same combination of red marks and bumps, I hate it. It started happening in Dec right when I turned 23. I just went on...

I'm not really sure about MTO. I've heard about GTE before and of course Manuka honey. I use manuka honey as a mask weekly and it really helps calm down any redness and irritation on my skin. It also ...

Wow, we're actually very similar. Aside from the primrose oil and bio zinc I do/use basically all of the things you do. BP on my spots, drinking lemon water every morning, wash 2x a day, using a manuk...

There are a lot of campaigns and movements out there now about loving yourself and your body, which I think is wonderful. I love how they include people from a variety of nationalities, with different...

If you want to incorporate an oil into your routine, I would try a less-comedogenic oil first! Coconut oil is risky because it can work wonders for some people but it can be a horror show for others. ...

Hi everyone. So I am really struggling with the texture of my skin as well as the oiliness/dryness, specifically when I wear make-up. After doing my morning routine and putting on my make-up, an hour ...
