*DarkHeart*

I have huge scarred looking pores and a wide shallow scar just from using 10% glycolic acid. It sucks and they are still there almost 7 months later. I am surprised that I keep seeing so many people r...

Hi Robertitoo,   I am considering needling, maybe with a dermstamp. After my skin started having problems though, I get kind of scared to do anything to it :/ I am always afraid I will somehow m...

My derm was very nice to me about it (well, the second one, the first one just said "I can't treat you because you are too fair" ,didn't even address the scarring, then cut a mole off my neck that I d...

I literally have no zits on my face. Maybe my birth control is working, but I also haven't worn make up for a month, and all those tiny clogged pores on my chin that I have been fighting for YEARS are...

I've read success stories and I have read horror stories about IPL. I have never done it myself. If you go through with it I wish you the best!!!!

I feel exactly how you do. My husband knows about all this and knew how depressed I was at the start of it, and we got into big arguments over my depression and I even told him to leave if he can't de...

Yeah, I had never had laser or used accutane, and the scars showed up about 1.5 months after I started using AHA. I have read that both laser and accutane can cause random scarring. Some people who h...

My adivce would to be stay away from any harsh products, that is if you use them. I don't use anything on my face, not even makeup, hardly even water (tap water is bad, mmmkay), and my redness is way ...

Hey andy, I had this problem too. I found mine were caused by 10% glycolic AHA use and they stopped appearing a while after I stopped using it. Now it has been 6 months and while I am not scarring any...

  This happened to me from 10% glycolic acid use. I have read many stories of this happening (not just from GA, but other things like retin-a) and the scars can fill in with time, I actually di...

That sucks I am on week two of my third pack and I don't have any actual zits right now, just the usual clogged pores that I always have. Though I haven't been getting the clogged pores on my cheeks ...

^They beat me to it. When I was ateenager, I had acne when I drank tons of milk everyday. I went on Atkins to lose weight when I was 15 and so I could no longer drink milk, my skin cleared up within a...

Agreed! I have MSM cream coming in the mail but will set it aside for now. Maybe use it at a later date when my skin gets a bit stronger. I have used it before and it didn't seem to hurt, but you neve...

  Acne is evil and I told my husband if I had a genie my first wish would be that pimples did not exist.   That's really cool and awesome of you. I would usually wish that I was healed...

Good luck! By the way, I did somemoe reading, and while oleic acid is bad for barrier function, I read that linoleic acid actually repairs the skin barrier. So things like safflower oil, grapeseed oil...

Lol, well the writing is a bit confusing, but basically, have you heard how people say emu oil can penetrate deep in the skin and therefore helps other products penetrate deeper? Well what I got from ...

  Acne is evil and I told my husband if I had a genie my first wish would be that pimples did not exist. I have posted all over this board about how acne led to worse problems in my skin. Becau...

I am seriously thinking of going full on caveman. I was also using honey but turns out it has a mild acid in it! RAR!!! Here I am, desperate to fix my skin, and using potentially harmful things that I...

Acne is evil and I told my husband if I had a genie my first wish would be that pimples did not exist. I have posted all over this board about how acne led to worse problems in my skin. Because I had ...

True, I have no idea really because I have never been on accutane. I have heard of people having long term problems from it but I know not everyone does. The fact that emu oil has an acid that can hur...

I still hate my face. Decided today that I am going to stop using make up and just use things that are good for my skin. I am at my wits end and my skin is looking worse lately with the huge pores and...

Maybe those oil absorbing sheets would help a bit? I am not sure, though. They work great if my skin is oily, but I never tried them to de-shine from moisturizer. And if you are a man you probably won...

I'm not sure. My skin got damaged by glycolic acid 5.5 months ago (developed random scars like you), and I have used emu oil on and off to try to fix it, started using it nightly recently and my face ...

Thanks Lore! I try, for my kids...if I didn't have kids I'd probably lock myself in all day and cry :'( I cried again today, my skin seems to look worse than ever for some reason. Over it. Thinking a...
