Happy Monday, everyone.   This weekend I was feeling desperate and went back to my chemical products: Pan Oxyl 4% with Epiduo and Aczone. I don't think my cysts are different at all, but my blac...

Thank you!!

Hi Heytomodell, I feel the same way. I'm older than you, 25, but I also had the realization today that acne doesn't define me. Acne doesn't affect my worth or value. So, together with you, I'm going t...

Some days are harder than others when dealing with acne.   For the last two days I just want to hide under my covers or wear a paper bag over my head to work. Unfortunately neither of these are ...

I started experimenting with oregano oil applied topically. So far, nothing seems to have changed. Plus the oil is very stinky and stings if I apply too much. I mix 1 drop of oregano oil with about 1/...

In case anyone is wondering, this is the cost breakdown of my cleanse:   Organic apples (aprox. 12 lbs): $19.76 VOS glass water bottle (to carry around lemon water): $3.50 Grocery trip for juices...

Alright guys, today was the last day! Here's how the day went: 6:30am: wake up, can't sleep - lower back pain still 7:30am: shower, wash face, tone with diluted tea tree oil, moisturize with Gra...

Apple Detox Day 3   7:30am: Wake up, diarrhea 7:40am: Spin brush wash face, tone with diluted tea tree oil, moisturize with Grapefruit C-Gel, use fresh aloe, coconut oil 8:30am:1/2 tsp cream of t...

Apple Detox Day 2   7:30am: wake up, diarrhea which persists throughout the day until about 2pm. 8:00am: drink 1/2 tsp cream of tartar in a tiny bit hot water + 1 20oz glass of lemon water (1/4 ...

I am considering cutting the cleanse short. I am concerned that I'm drinking too much water and not getting enough electrolytes.   I am going to go through day 2 with the apples, but here are t...

Ok guys, Apple Detox Day 1: Complete. Here's how Day 1 went. I mostly grazed apples all day rather than eating "meals," just because it was hard for me to eat so many apples in 1 sitting. Also, I...

The Acticlate (doxycycline hyclate) made me super nauseous this morning, I am considering discontinuing it.

While I'm waiting to start the cleanse, I'm trying to eat as clean as I can while not depriving myself since I know the time for deprivation will come all too soon. I've added plain greek yogurt into ...

I don't know, but the texture of the whiteheads on my cheeks makes my acne look so much worse. I hope someone has advice for us...

Does anyone know where to order the Dermamed Phytome from now? Their site doesn't seem to offer it.

Have you done any research on natural antibiotics? I don't have a lot of experience with this, but it could be worth looking into. I've heard garlic and oregano oil are good. Just a thought.   I...

J, I'm sorry you're dealing with this Really try not to stress. Stress makes it so much worse, believe me. Try to find time to yourself, maybe go for a walk or do yoga or meditate, if you enjoy those...

I like to use tea tree oil as a spot treatment, but I have found it doesn't work too well on cystic acne. Make sure you dilute it because it can be really drying: I run a q-tip under the faucet, dry i...

Hi Everyone,   I'm new here so I hope I'm doing this correctly. I want to share my history with acne and my current journey to (hopefully) clear skin. I'm 26/f.   I have had acne since I w...

I currently use Eminence and love the way it makes my skin feel healthy and balanced, but it doesn't seem to prevent breakouts. I use: Clear Skin Probiotic Cleanser every morning and night, and 3-4 ...

How are you doing with this regimine? I hope it works for you, I love aloe so much for my skin, but alone with tea tree it doesn't help enough. Are you diluting your tea tree oil? Maybe I need to not ...

I had a lot of luck with epiduo. My old dermatologist prescribed it along with PanOxl 4% benzyl peroxide face wash and the combination worked really well. It was super drying, but my skin was clear fo...

This happened to me recently too. I suffer from cystic acne and it has been pretty bad since November, but then about 2 weeks ago I got a cluster of whiteheads on each cheek. I can't get them to go aw...
