I have oily skin. Can I used Shea Butter as a moisturiser if I'm using topical retinoids I don't see a problem with it! If it helps the dryness and doesn't make you break out, go for it | In forum Oily skin | 7 years ago |
Thoughts on Dove Sensitive skin? Honestly...it can't hurt to try. I myself tried it - it didn't make my acne worse, but it didn't help either. (Not to say it won't work for you - just my personal experience) Just be aware that the... | 7 years ago | |
CHEEK ADULT ACNE ^^I wouldn't be linking acne to the lungs and liver.. I know a lot of people notice an improvement in acne when they cut back on dairy and sugar. Dairy wasn't an option for me, but luckily I found s... | In forum Acne | 7 years ago |
How long for improvement with severe acne? Took me 5 months once I found the right products. It's hard, but patience will pay off. | In forum The Regimen | 7 years ago |
anyone tried using no products? I tried using nothing except water. Didn't work. | In forum Adult acne | 7 years ago |
Easing the pain? Alternating between cold and warm cloths, along with ibuprofen I found helped a little bit. Good luck <3 | 7 years ago | |
Red Underneath Bumps/Pimples on top Cheeks next to Nose Cystic acne. What are you currently using for topical treatments? Have you seen a dermatologist? I had moderate cystic acne (a new cyst every 3-4 days). The only thing that worked for me was the Unb... | In forum Acne | 7 years ago |
My dermatologist seems to be doing everything wrong? Do you live in an area where you can get a second opinion? I know a purge when starting something new is normal, but this sounds a bit extreme. I know antibiotics can be used for cystic acne though,... | In forum Acne | 7 years ago |
What type of acne do I have and how to get rid of it? Hmm very odd. Sounds like it could be pus inside, so maybe acne! Hope you get it figured out! Keep us updated. | In forum Acne | 7 years ago |
What type of acne do I have and how to get rid of it? That doesn't look like typical acne to me...do those pop? Or are they just bumps? It kind of looks like folliculitis! Have you ever seen a dermatologist to get a confirmed answer? | In forum Acne | 7 years ago |
Microneedling for Active Acne I wouldn't do it on active acne...that would just cause more irritation to your skin. I would use it for acne scarring though. | In forum Other acne treatments | 7 years ago |
v55 Salicylic Acid. Good effects so far?! That's awesome! I've never heard of it, but that's exciting that it's working for you! Just go with it and don't question it - if it works, it works. I thought BP was hopeless for me, until I found th... | 7 years ago | |
Benzoyl Peroxide cream "caking" on skin? Anyone find a BP that doesn't cake on skin? Ahh I had the same problem! Whenever I'd scratch my skin, a bunch would end up caked under my fingernail - gross. Try using a bit less...and if that doesn't work, I'd use the BP product Rodan and Fie... | 7 years ago | |
How much time do you give to new products Mine took 5 months to completely clear up my skin. I'd give it 3 months to see if you notice ANY difference and 6 months to allow your acne to fully clear. | 7 years ago | |
Have you ever noticed I don't get it either...and why do some things work amazing for some people, but don't touch other people's acne? It's so frustrating! | In forum Acne | 7 years ago |
Help Needed! I used the acne.org regimen and thought BP didn't work for me either. I got chemical burns from using the amount suggested, and because of the irritation, it caused me to break out more. Someone sugg... | In forum Acne | 7 years ago |
Naturopath VS Acne specialist/Dermatologist I'm so sorry for the frustration you're experiencing  It's really hard...I felt the exact same way this time last year. Would avoid looking in the mirror so I didn't have to ... | In forum Acne | 7 years ago |
Dismissive doctor I would find a new doctor! You need to advocate for yourself...I can understand about not using antibiotics, but I don't see why he'd be refusing the pill. I've been using the pill since I was 14 y... | In forum Acne | 7 years ago |
Pimple filled with pus can I pop? I would. If it's clearly ready to pop, have at 'er. | In forum Acne | 7 years ago |
Hormonal cystic acne due to stopping pill for 2 months and a lot of stress I had the same problem; sorry to hear you’re going through this! The only thing that worked for me was R+F Unblemish. Took 5-6 months but my skin is 100% clear now. | In forum Adult acne | 7 years ago |
Benzoyl Peroxide worsening acne before improving? It’s definitely common; they refer to it as a purge. A week of using the product and then having clear skin is highly unrealistic. It took me 6 months to get 100% clear skin. | 7 years ago | |
Chemical burn on my face from acne medicine If you live in Canada, the states or Australia, i’d highly recommend Soothe made by Rodan and Fields. It’s cleared up dermatitis and burns for me in a matter of days. | In forum Acne | 7 years ago |
Acne.orgs benzoyl peroxide and redness They recommend WAY too much -  I got chemical burns from following their instructions  I  now use a different brand of BP and literally a pea size amoun... | In forum Acne | 7 years ago |
