The problem with the topic of shaving in regards to acne is that everyone seems to be different. I personally get on best with electric razors (currently using Braun 340s-4) as they don't cut too clos...

Yeah man, how can I get som? I train hard in the gym, sweaty back rubbing against dirty bench and everything but still no acne on my back man! Give me some tips man! Start using steroids

Congratz buddy.

hmm, i might try out what you're doing, but it might be different for me since my acne is probably located elsewhere and the dry parts of my face are located elsewhere. the worst parts of my acne are ...

[Aimed at those with milder acne] Normally my skin worsens over winter but it's looking really good right now. Here's what I've been doing recently: Lessened Bp usage. I'm still using BP every othe...

You could try pea protein or hemp protein.

EVERYONE PLEASE READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was looking again in the evidence based library and I found this article: I talks about vitamin D3 and vitamin A being able...

Good luck to everyone trying this method! Will keep following this thread. When I'm using stuff from the earth, I imagine bathing in a pond in the forest and being a forest goddess, so of course, I...

I think most foods are ok...just gotta watch out for the obvious ones which are usually recommended when bulking such as milk/dairy, sugary foods, fast food. I personally eat a lot of pasta/spaghetti...

The Derm will probably get you to try a topical such as Differin or Duac + maybe an antiobiotic.

Head & Shoulders Classic -- great for body acne too.

Most of everything I do for my skin is topical, it works, for the most part, but I'm really curious about what I could do internally that would fight acne. I don't have a ton of money to spend on this...

  I've read a lot on here about toothpaste possibly causing acne around your mouth because of the fluoride (I think?). Anyways, I used to brush my teeth in the shower and the toothpaste would...

You need to look at the direction that your hairs grow in and then shave with the grain. For most people this is downwards. Shaving against the grain can cause irritation such as acne and ingrown hair...

I use the acne.org ones. They last ages so they're good value for money.

If I didn't break out on my chest and back I probably wouldn't be on accutane. I'm on about day 30, my face didn't really break out any more than usual, maybe one or two medium sizes places. But my ...

Ok so a few months ago when i didn't know about the regimen i bought BP from the chemist, she said to put a very thin layer and use very little. Now i saw the guy on youtube use the regimen and he li...

I'd go for it. If I had my time again I'd definitely skip the antibiotics -- they help in the short term but for most people they aren't a cure.

Great thread. I've enjoyed reading your posts although I will admit that I skipped a few months haha. This should be very helpful for impatient newbies, assuming they find the patience to read it!

You have been here since 06 and haven't been on birth control yet??? I thought that was one of the more popular methods for females.

Many people including myself had found results with Head and Shoulders. My back's never been that bad although it wasn't great last year -- going to the gym seemed to worsen it due to rubbing against ...

I personally have always found that minimal products works best for my skin. My belief is that too many people try to eliminate their acne rather than reduce it hence making it worse.
