It has been 16 days since my chemical peel. Here's a rundown of events: Initially my skin didn't look much different. Then after the emergency flare up above, I started using my products again which...

I got my first chemical peel on Monday! The peel itself was only mildly uncomfortable. My aesthetician was amazing, she's a friend of a friend. She did what felt like a TON of extractions. She even pu...

Update: thankfully the lump underneath has reduced in size. I had a chemical peel last week and she did a lot of extractions, I'm not sure if that was one of them but it seems to be getting better. I ...

Thanks everyone! The scab is totally healed now but it still has a hard lump underneath like a healing cyst. It also still looks red/pink like the skin is still healing I haven't been putting anythin...

Hi Everyone,   I finally broke down and went to a new dermatologist last week. He prescribed Aczone, Tazorac and Sulfacleanse. His aesthetician (who I know personally) said a chemical peel would...

The pink lotion isn't meant for blackheads, it is meant for active pimples. The Mario Badescu Silver Powder is the one meant for blackheads. Hope this helps!

Update:   I went to the dermatologist (PA) today and he prescribed: Tazorac .1% Aczone 5% Sulfacleanse Wash for face & back He said I can keep up what I'm already doing and add these in, ...

I have a dermatologist appointment tomorrow, but wanted to share an update beforehand:   My topical regimen hasn't changed:   PanOxyl 4% BP Face Wash - morning and night Mario Badescu Dryi...

Replying to itchy acne scars. I'd keep an eye on that. If the itching persists and/or the marks crust or bleed I'd have it looked at by your doctor or a derm, could be an unrelated issue. Thanks! I'...

  Natural does not always mean better and this is the case with coconut oil. Very comodogenic. I definitely recommend looking at the comodogenic ratings and use that when choosing products na...

I've been in this situation a few times, to say the least. I feel that because it's so dark...the darker the better because it means it's almost ready to dry up and fall off. But you can definitely he...

Maybe this will be the time that I actually LEARN and stop squeezing! My face has finally stopped breaking out with these horrible huge cysts and two nights ago I thought it would be a good idea to tr...

I'm going to start trying this. I have tried everything I can think of. Wearing gloves around the house, putting honey on breakouts so you can't touch them, even keeping the lights dimmed in the bathr...

Hi everyone,   I still haven't been able to go back to the natural way yet. My skin looks worse than it ever has in my whole life. At this point I would advise against using Eminence. I think it...

Hi everyone, I have a cyst that seems to have healed, but it looks like a scar and also looks like a dent in my skin and I can feel a hard ball under my skin the size of a pea. When I smile the dent i...

So... I've had to give up on the natural pursuit for now. Nothing is helping and my acne is the worst it has ever been. I switched back to washing with Pan Oxyl 4% BP face wash and using Epiduo, I nee...
