It's hard to tell from the picture, but it resembles what I had when I started using all natural plant based products. After an attempt to go "green" and two months of hell on my face, I concluded tha...

Hmmm, i see your frustration. I recently dealt with forehead bumps. Painless, itchless, but never came to a head either. I didnt really think it was even acne. For me, it ended up being an issue with ...

Yay!! I love that im helping! Ill do my best to keep up with that.

Honestly, you probably wont need any tools. He just uses his finger and it works perfectly fine. Hes gotten so good at it, that i never notice hes got it on. Concealer isnt noticeable at all when it i...

Jofo- if only you could see my face right now-I'm hanging my head in shame! I tried this in March for 2 weeks after a new med caused a sweet tooth and I unconsciously starting replacing the sierra mis...

Jofo-settin' it straight.... Ps, on day two now of the lemon oil- another day where I haven't had to blot yet and I have no bumps or redness or flakes. Maybe when I tried it before, it was just a b...

I looked up the acne stress control and I don't think I could use that one. Looking at the ingredients, it appears to be for pretty tough acne. It has glycolic acid in and while I love the glycolic ni...

Yes, I'm still on it but I see no difference either way with acne. But at least it doesn't make it worse! I'm only on mine because I have severe issues with my lady parts. (Endo, back pain, cysts-work...

Ok cool. Thanks for the tip!

Ah yes, acne marks. The worst!   He uses a liquid-ish concealer. He has a normal skin tone so its easy to find a good match. He just uses the wand and lightly brushes the spot and then blends w...

Sorry I'm stalking your posts! You are gorgeous! What pretty eyes. The cream cleanser I told you about has SA in it. I don't think I mentioned that. Honestly, I'm with Aanabil- I would stop using ce...

berseraf- what's your oil production like through out the day?

My husband uses an Almay Concealer on acne. Has for years. Are you looking to cover up acne?

Hi Dave6677, I use bp after my moisturizer. Should i do that before or after bp? I'm thinking before right?

I use Neutrogena's Ageless Intensives Tone Correcting Daily Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30. High spf but it's surprisingly super light. A little goes a long way. I've tried several of the Neutroge...

Bluegreeneyed- Ask as many as you like! I stalk the veteran members for their advice because it's been helpful. Even if something ended up not working for me, I feel like I'm so much more informed and...

Honestly the birth control had more of an effect on my mood. I would get very emotional on the regular dose birth control, very stressed out, horrible sleep. Maybe it wasn't the birth control causing ...

Over ten years, Ive been on 5 different birth controls, a few low dose estrogen, one regular dose (awful) and now depo provera which is no estrogen. None of them ever affected oil for me. Some made ac...

LewisS- Agreed. I think i prefer the feeling as well. My natural oil doesn't start pouring out until a couple hours later and honestly, even oily skin doesn't feel the same as skin with moisturizer on...

Yes it is a pain! After a few hours, I look like I dumped olive oil on my face. So I blot and blot. My face routine keeps my acne away and doesn't give me any dryness or irritation. I'm still looking ...

Hi Bluegreeneyed! It's Neutrogena Deep Clean Cream Cleanser. I've tried everything else but this remains to be the best cleanser for me. What's your skin type like besides sensitive? If it's anythin...

Omnivium- thank you. I wash twice a day with a cream cleanser that has a ph of 2.5. Its very gentle and works well with my extremely sensitive skin, but even with this cleanser, i wouldnt dare wash mo...

Ok guys, i need help with this. Do i moisturize or not? Oily/sensitive/combo/acne prone skin. Ive read so many old posts, but i want to hear some more recent answers since things are ever changing for...

I beginning to think i will always need benzoyl peroxide. Im glad ive found alternatives to the toner and moisturizer and im sure i can land on a good cleanser but youre right, it takes weeks sometime...

Hey thanks! I hope so. I realize that i have a lot to learn but i hope something i suggest helps someone.
