Thanks so much for your reply! Super helpful and so nice to hear I'm not alone in this chaos! I'm underweight too but I've heard of people being prescribed Metformin for PCOS as an alternative to comb...

I'll try to keep this brief: I had acne as a teenager, was on Accutane at 12, and went on hormonal birth control when I was 15. About 2 years ago I went off birth control because I was sick of the m...

Sorry you had to go back on birth control..sounds like it was your last resort and also a quick fix, which unfortunately when we are desperate we tend to go back to what has worked in the past, regard...

Mammasay, I completely agree with you. I think it's somewhat wishful thinking that diet can cure all our hormonal problems. Hormones are excruciatingly complex. I have spent more hours than I want to ...

I love this Luminous Primer from 100 Percent Pure. It's the only one I've found that doesn't break me out. A little pricey but it's all natural and lasts a long time. I try to use a really minimal amo...

I am curious to know what you did Indigo. Did it clear you 100%? Do you know what you're underlying hormonal problem was? Oh God, I've done so much I've tried everything. I even tried natural proge...

Totally agree with you here. In addition to having no oversight, no authority, and no accountability, the FDA doesn't do independent testing. (You alluded to this. I'm sure you're aware. Just sharing ...

Kinda depressing but very helpful! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. My skin is recovering from the most severe acne I've ever had, and I'm noticing a few scars. Does the needling help you? And...

I haven't posted here in a while. My skin was almost 100% clear for years until I went off birth control. A few months being off Nuvaring and my skin EXPLODED. The most severe acne I've ever had or ev...

Don't use it on your face. I've done it before and wouldn't again. It doesn't help and causes more scarring. Try Witch Hazel or Apple Cider Vinegar instead. Or buy a natural toner. I like this one: [R...

Unfortunately, Cortisone shots are the only thing that has helped my cysts go away faster. Why won't your parents let you get them? I know you said they don't like your derm, but I don't understand wh...

Trying to heal things naturally is a good thing but it really isn't enough. The products you're using do not contain any 'active' ingredients. You really need to go on the attack and add some products...

It does sound like a boxcar scar but if it's just one at this stage I would try not to stress. Chronic stress causes hormonal imbalances which can lead to further acne breakouts so try to relax and se...

Hey mammasay! If your spot has only been healing for a week I wouldn't stress too much about the scar at this stage. Can you describe what it looks like? If it's indented it's still early days. Your b...

I just noticed a scar on my face that is new, from a pimple that started healing about a week ago. Is there anything I can put on it at this point that will at least help it heal a little bit better a...

If you don't need a ton of coverage, I love Everyday Minerals. I've had to switch to Makeup Forever recently because my acne became severe due to hormonal changes (I went off birth control) and haven'...

I agree with the above poster. I feel like green concealer makes blemishes look gray when your makeup is finished. I do like green tinted moisturizers/primers. If you're looking for a good concealer, ...

lots of people mention this bleaching, im doing the regimen and nothing i have had been destroyed or anything like that   Weird. I was on benzoyl peroxide products for years and they ruined eve...

If you really do not want to go back on birth control again consider giving Dan's regimen a try. We have so many adult female customers who do very well on it. Seriously. If you haven't tried it you r...

im not sure why everyone is fighting you on the birth control thing. if it works, take it. ive been on bc for 15 years now and for me it doesnt help my hormonal acne much (which just came back 2 years...

What birth control are you using? I've been on Ortho-Lo for years and never really felt it helped or hurt my acne. I've actually thought about getting off of it considering my husband has had a vase...

My acne is hormonal as well and ive dealt with since i was 12 and im now 22. Its a terrible cycle. Especially around my menstrual. Eventually will grow out of it. Have you tried saw palmetto? it is su...
