Hi!   Seems like you're being hard on yourself! Try to take some time off from excessive mirror usage and viewing if you're doing so. That always helps me!   With that said, my main sugg...

This is interesting

I know this is super old but I've recently solidified my theory that Wellbutrin (XL OR SR) causes acne in some individuals! I went on a low dosage of Wellbutrin 4 years ago and have been consistently ...

Hello! Google IPL Photo facial! I'm not sure where you are from or your budget but I've been researching IPL and it seems like a good option. It's generally used for broken capillaries, hyper-pigment...

That's interesting. I've been traveling to China (Shanghai) for five or so years, and I find that the hard water often breaks me out. I'd probably assume it's the native diet you adhere to when trav...

Hi! Does anyone here have any Rose Hip Oil stories to relay? I've searched the internet far and wide and have found a plethora of information, but am still looking for personal encounters. I've bee...

Hi! Keep your chin up! You're only 22 and perhaps you will grow out of your acne. Also, it sounds like you may have body dysmorphia. Have you been to a therapist? Are you located in the US? Are you ...

Hi Amanda-- I have dry skin but when I commenced Retin-A for anti-aging last summer I was "devastated" by my inability to wear my regular foundation! I've yet to find my perfect foundation but I've b...

Bubbles55-- Thanks! I've heard it once before! Lily Cole is dreamy! I usually get Taylor Swift....(YURK!!!)

Hey, I like this post a lot! You have interesting thought patterns and ways of communicating!

I think a lot of girls (and guys?) are into MAC because it's more affordable than other non-drugstore makeup, and has good branding. It seems like a lot of MAC users are heavy makeup users. I myself...

Bubbles-- You made a post being negative, while simultaneously critiquing the purposed negativity of the board. When people responded, you criticized them and spread negativity. Was this a troll po...

Why don't you try carrot juice? I don't have acne but it's been helping reduce slight redness and cosmetic acne spots! It also gives a nice glow! I'm drinking one 16 oz. bottle a day. They sell a larg...

I've been using Lorac Natural Performance (Oil-free) for about 5 years without any problems, even without a primer. It's on the matte side, which I don't necessarily like as I'm on the drier side, but...

This doesn't have SPF, but Sephora brand silicone and oil free primer is the only primer that hasn't broken me out. It's not as effective as a silicone-based primer, which smooths and perfects the ski...

I've been researching this topic and testing on myself. I haven't found a successful remedy thus far besides a non-comedogenic concealer and highlighter. One promising lead is Vitamin K, but since m...

I do this quite often. It's not usually because of acne, but because on flaking, dry skin, or a perceived blemish. Having lived with my partner for almost 2 years now, and watching how he reacts to my...

I believe in conspiracies; however, I think in this case it's the egg and not the chicken. People who grow up plagued by acne cultivate other interests and become intellectually exploratory. I mysel...

Hi! Maybe you could try an over-the-counter cream that contains retinol, lactic acid, or glycolic acid. All of those may help to fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation! I think since you are so young, ...

lol awww, you are a good-looking boy! I know it's hard, but don't worry! It will feel better soon!

Hey Kyle! My name is Kylene. I don't have the same problem, but I would suggest going to the dermatologist and getting a Retin-A prescription, as other users have recommended. I'm 25 and using Retin-...

Hey! I too have had clear skin almost my whole life, until I started getting an occasional hormonal cyst during my menstural cycle. Anyway, since I began to get the occasional cyst, I changed my skin...

This is incorrect! Don't listen to this poster. I do not have hormonal acne, except for 1 monthly menstrual cyst. However, I am a makeup junkie. I ONLY breakout from new products. When the breakout c...

Makeup Forever HD caused clogged pores and Tarte Amazonian clay BB cream, though it provided a sheer, glowy, and beautiful finish, made me breakout pretty quickly. I would also stay away from STILA ...

Do you have a list of the rest of the ingredients? Google "comedogenic ingredients" and find a website that contains a list of common ingredients in skin care and makeup. Once you have the list, cro...
