I am slowly cutting gluten out of my diet hoping it helps, as I am on my fourth round of accutane at age 36 almost 37. Accutane always did wonders but never had any staying power. I actually asked my...

If all this is true then why hasn't it worked for my acne? How do you know that people in isolated tribes don't have acne, because one guy who was visiting there wrote a book saying it? I can go to my...

I just don't believe acne occurs in "healthy" individuals. If you have acne, you are doing something wrong. Acne is absent in isolated, primitive societies. What is the greatest difference between the...

Alright ladies, here is the link to my review. Comment and let me know your thoughts.  

Hello ladies, So I came across Lily Lolo and Ella Rose make-up via the suggestions of other acne.org members. I ordered some samples and thought I would write a comparative review to help out anyone ...

  I am strongly considering this diet. I have been having really bad cystic acne lately and am ready for a major lifestyle change. Please keep me informed. So it's been another week and my ...

I wasn't gonna comment, but screw it.   I cleared my severe acne by finding out what foods were triggering my acne. Most people with severe acne aren't likely to clear on any one else's diet. ...

Alright guys I got my samples! I plan on posting a comparative review tomorrow with before and after photos for both products so stay tuned! I'm thinking I will start a new topic but I will post the l...

Honestly, keeping my skin moisturized worked better than the topical ointment that my doctor prescribed me. Keeping your skin hydrated will not only get rid of those bumps (if it is in fact keratosis ...

So I have been trying the whole no gluten and dairy thing to see if it helps with the clarity of my skin. Much to my excitement, it seems to be working! I tried to keep all other variables constant (s...

This looks like keratosis pilaris, which can occur due to dry skin. I used to get rashes like this on the back of my upper arms. Your PCP/derm can prescribe a topical ointment, but what worked best fo...

I like Lily Lolo (a UK brand, which is now sold in the US too) -- they use minimal ingredients and are also held to higher standards than the U.S. when it comes to cosmetic ingredients. I also suggest...

Thanks for the link! I checked out their website and ordered some samples. I'm really hoping this is the end of my search.

Hello fellow acne sufferers, So I have been a long time user of bare minerals and am looking for a replacement. It doesn't necessarily make me break out, I'm just looking for something with a little ...

I'm a fan of bare mineral's mineral veil. They have a version with spf too which is great because you don't have to double up on sunscreen and moisturizer. Too many layers on your face can cause break...

the other popular option is salicylic based products....I personally prefer those- just read labels and go slow to start   but he needs a good acne wash in the shower, then a SA topical that ho...

Hi Guys!   So I joined this site for myself to get some insight as how to treat my light acne. Thankfully, I got that under control now. However, my boyfriend has been breaking out lately and I ...

Vitamin E oil helps reduce scarring.   I also hate wearing make up, especially in the summer time. I use bare minerals blemish therapy powder. If you have fair skin, it does a good job of concea...

I bought this product about a year ago. I don't wear make-up daily but I whip it out for special occasions. I like that it's lightweight and safe for sensitive skin. It didn't make me break out at all...

I was prescribed spiro by my derm 5 years ago. It's technically an "off label" acne drug because it was originally designed for patients with high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. It work...

My savior spot treatment is Kate Somerville's Eradikate Acne Treatment. I have been using this stuff for 6 years and nothing comes close to its effectiveness.

Do you use a good moisturizer after you apply these treatments? For me, I have found that moisturizing after apply toner ans spot treatment shelps curb redness and irritation. You could also try dilut...
