Would you describe your skin as sensitive? I have very sensitive skin and my face couldn't take 10% or even 5% so I started with 2.5% and it has been really effective. Enough to keep my acne at bay wi...

Hi all,   As per usually a monster has invaded my face the day before my big engagement party!   Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can use to spot treat overnight?   I've t...

Get some witchazel on it, it's always worked great for me if I've overdone the squeezing! I just soak a cotton ball in it and press it on.   The bruising will go down in a couple of days, don't...

I'm so sorry you're having a hard time, especially at this time of year when you want to look your best! You're not alone though!   I'm also from the UK so I'll tell you what I use to calm my sk...

I had the exact same thing a while ago! Like ccharms above, I used hydrocortisone cream, along with a good gentle moisturiser and the rash cleared up in two days. I hope it gets better for you soon.

I used to have these in the exact same place as you. The only thing that worked for me is Paula's choice BHA. I started off with 1% gel then went up to 2% after a few weeks.   It certainly does...

I feel like every day is a CONSTANT battle with my skin. Even after my cystic acne has cleared up after going on birth control, I still feel like it controls me every single day. And it's exhausting. ...

I've been using Paula's choice BHA and have noticed an improvement in my comedones. Nothing miraculous and its taken a few weeks but definitely better. I also have sensitive skin so only use the 1% ge...

I had one of these monsters a couple of weeks ago, you are not alone!   I also have sensitive skin so I went for the hot compress approach and this really did the trick. It took a while - a goo...

A monthly microdermabrasion will help to open up pores and get rid of dead skin that clogs things up. It made a huge difference for me and helped my topical meds to work much better. Well worth the ...

Hi all,   I'm fortunate that since going on Diannette, I don't get much inflamed acne anymore apart from the odd cyst here and there.   But I still have crazy congested skin. This is mostl...

Well I'm never sure if cold or warm is better so yes I might as well give that a shot thank you!   And you're probably right about applying to many topicals, I just get so frustrated as I've ne...

Hello all,   I am reasonably clear at the moment after going on the contraceptive pill but a few days ago this massive thing has erupted on my face.   I say 'thing' because I'm not quite ...

Hey there Just wondering how the Dianette worked for you? I'm coming up to nearly being on it for two months, and am desperate for some results soon. I've heard good things about the third month on...

I've been using La Roche Possay Effaclar Duo Plus for the last couple of weeks and I already see a difference in my post inflammatory hyper pigmentation.   It's really exciting as I've tried so ...

I've recently started using a primer, for about 2 weeks now, and I don't think it's made me break out any more than usual.   I was worried that it might as my skin tends to when I use a new pro...

I know what you mean, I hate getting my photograph taken in any way shape or form!   And it always annoys me when people ask what my problem is as I would think it's obvious that I wouldn't wan...

Thanks for the positive advice!   In terms of accutane, I'm from the UK so I've no idea if it's readily available over here. My doctor is ridiculous when it comes to my acne. He barely even look...

Hi all,   I haven't been a member long but have realised how helpful this forum is.   I'm just really struggling at the moment dealing with my acne on a daily basis and was hoping you guy...

This is great, thanks for the positivity boost!! Especially number 1, this is something I must try to stop doing and I'm going to adopt that mantra!!

Hi all,   I'm getting to the point now where I'm really sick of the fact that I can't control myself when it comes to just leaving my face alone!   I feel like I'm constantly feeling my fa...

I'm not saying looks don't matter at all but there's certainly a lot more to it than that. Everyone has insecurities and that makes this difficult to believe I know that.   But I didn't find my ...

Lisaj1298 this fellow has seen you and your complexion and obviously likes you and finds you attractive so that should give you some confidence. Pushing him away will turn him off way more than your ...

Most guys dont care about acne. If you're a guy however girls want guys with olive skin, chiseled jaw, nice eyes, dark hair, a low thick hairline, 6foot+ height, low bodyfat etc. Guys are much more l...

Hi all!   I'm new here and it looks like a great forum so I hope you guys can give me some advice/understanding on my latest acne woes!   I've recently started seeing someone new after bre...
