Ok, sorry for the delay. I've had another read of your situation and I'll make a few comments. Firstly, stress can mean many things, not just external pressure. Worrying about your skin, sleep depriva...

Hello, I'm sorry to hear about your story, but try to stay positive. There is a solution for you, we just have to find what works (physiologically and practically). I don't like seeing doctors prescr...

Hi LinShady, Well your skin is going through it's natural response to infection (now post infection). It will take a little bit of time to fully subside, however your Epiduo isn't helping it. If it st...

Nick, I'm sorry to tell you this, but you are about to experience the most unimaginable skin dryness that a person can experience. So dry that your skin will lose all integrity and become extremely fr...

Hi Chloe, this isn't necessarily my life after acne story, but I wanted to congratulate you on your new (ish) found outlook. I'm glad that your acne has been under control over the previous year and I...

Triolink, you don't need to bump your post twice in 10 hours. If you want a valuable response, you may have to wait for it. Plus, it's not like your thread is getting lost in a flood of others'. If it...

I'm not sure what cyst you're referring to, as for the scar. Unfortunately, due to the nature of scar tissue, they are difficult to remedy. Plus your's is quite large and depressed. I would suggest t...

Hi Ally, I'm also new to the forum but I think I can help. Unfortunately I I've already been on here for 4 hours so I will have to reply later. Sorry. My responses can be quite in depth.

I'd like to ad that I previously said to use an oil free facial moisturiser... I should clarify that. Oil containing moisturiser can be ok, as long as it contains the right oils, some of which would b...

Simple, you're stripping your skin. When you strip it your skin will be dry, as in the surface of the epidermis. (Sometime you may get a really tight feeling). So the only way your body can get moistu...

Amy, I'm glad that you realise that you are beautiful, regardless of acne. "You would be beautiful if you didn't have acne" is the most horrible, incorrect judgement someone could make. Anyway, you s...

Chel, I think you need to slow down a bit. I know your skin is worrying you but I think you might me doing/changing too much. You don't need a trip to the dermo just yet.. So the products that you lis...
