4 months and some (about 19 weeks) Things are looking really good. Since my last post, my skin just continued to improve. I was actually able to give up make up, which is the first time in almost 1...

Week 14 Well, it's been another 2 weeks and I don't have a ton to report. Good news is that I've only had about 3 new pimples since my last post. All the red spots are slowly healing. I actually quit...

I think this is quite common. I know I have struggled with both. I agree that you should see a doc and make sure your stomach problems are nothing serious. In the meantime, some things that coud hel...

I'm a little concerned about the corn cakes as well. Corn has very little nutritional value and I think most nutritional experts would advocate to reduce, not increase, corn consumption.

Week 12 Well, it's finally here - the 12 week mark. Time to evaluate my progress in a lot of detail. My current skin - I currently have no whiteheads and haven't had one since my last post. I thi...

I'm in a very similar position to you. I am 30 years old, had acne since 15. I've tried everything. Minocycline worked in the past, but I am currently taking it along with differin and am only having ...

11 week update (and 4.5 weeks on differin) Well, there isn't really much change. My chin area (where I apply differin) has continued to break out. I currently have three inflamed whiteheads there a...

Has anyone taken the progesterone and had it successfully reduce their acne? The theory sounds good, but then again, many often do?

2 months and some more.... Well, overall no change in my skin since the last post. The last few healed really quickly, but I've had three whiteheads come up where I am applying differin. I also had...

Thanks for the feedback. I will stick with once per day for now.

Hi everyone, I've been on differin for a few weeks. I apply once per day. I've read in some logs that people have applied differin or Retin-a 2x per day. I'm just wondering whether this is a good id...

2 months and some... Well, I had a breakout this week. I developed three larger inflamed bumps on my right cheek/chin and then a couple really red inflamed, but relatively flat spots on my left chee...

Week 9 I've only had one new comeodone in the last few days. Crossing my fingers that I've turned a corner. Many many red spots are still in need of healing, though. Haven't had any more breakout...

Thanks. On the top left I had an icon that expanded everything. The safari browser was just shutting down on me...it usually happened while a page was loading. It hasn't happened for a bit, so it c...

Week 8 and a bit I've developed no new pimples in the last couple days. This has been encouraging again, bc I usually developed at least one red spot or whitehead per day (at least in the last few w...

I access the site from my iPad and am having a little trouble with the new site. It's possible it's my iPad, but it kicks me out periodically when trying to load pages. Additionally I no longer can ...

Week 8 Well things are going ok. I've developed a few whiteheads where I started differin, so I'm assuming this is the IB. I'm hoping it doesn't get much worse. I also have a few whiteheads along...

This has been a great log to read. I am very envious, but hopeful that I will have similar success. I am currently on minocycline and differin. Please post updates occasionally to let us know if th...

I'm on close to the same regimen (also have a log where i post updates). Mine is 200mg of Minocycline (on week 7) and .3 differin gel (just started this about a week ago). When I started, I probably ...

I have wondered whether it's related to thinning of the skin that happens on certain medications like a Retin-A. I get the same thing on Minocycline, which also thins the skin. This is just a guess t...

Thanks for the encouragement. The last two days I've had no new whiteheads. I'm getting hopeful, but know this could just be the normal fluctuations. Since starting differin, I've only had one pimp...

When my derm prescribed me Differin, she warned me that I can not get pregnant for the above reasons.

6 weeks and a few days.... Just wanted to update that i decided to only use differin on a part of my face (lower chin). I made this decision for two reasons. First, I don't want the IB to occur ever...

There's lots of options for you if you read through the various threads. There's OTCs, diet changes, supplements, etc. all of them range in price. As you read through the forums, you'll see that ea...

6 week update Well the original plan was for six weeks on Min, but I saw my derm today who suggested I stay on for another six weeks. She said it often takes 12 weeks for Min to take full effect. I...
