Yep i'm still clear. No side effects or anything. Can't understand why more people don't give retin-a a proper try. It does take a long time to work but give it 6 months or more and the results are am...

IMO there's nothing wrong with venting your frustrations or posting something a bit negative when your feeling down as theres lot of people on here who can help you feel a bit more positive again. I d...

Oh great another one of these "I'm too ugly/women are so shallow threads" Now this is not meant as an insult but you seem to make a lot of assumptions about what women think despite the fact you've m...

Chemical castration!!!! That is a bit extreme. I understand the frustration that comes with dating with acne, and I often struggle with my own self esteem, but...... and I don't want to seem harsh or ...

For me personally, it doesn't matter at all if a girl has acne. In fact I've seen many, many girls with acne who still look stunning! Maybe girls just over think how critical guys are about their look...

Well I had a lot of blackheads on my forehead to start off with but they certainly didn't get any worse. Right now I probably only have a few that are barely noticeable even when staring very closely ...

This logs filled me with hope. I'm just been prescripted the same combo as you (except thanks to being female the docs also swapped my birth control to dianette, between my sexual health clinic and th...

Awesome that this seems to have worked so well for you I have questions! When you used the regimen in the past, did you experience bad flaking with that? The flaking with retin a, is it the same / b...

I had completely forgotten I was writing this ( not that anyone but me reads it anyway ) hence the massive gaps between posts.   So now I'm around 5 months into using Retin-a so I should probabl...

Acne definitely triggered social anxiety for me. Like so many others on here before acne I had a normal social life, but after a few years of acne problems I'm now very shy and have virtually no socia...

Well your not alone that's for sure! I'm exactly the same as you with regards to experience with girls and it frustrates me immensely (I seem to have a girl repelling force field ). I often worry tha...

Day 68: Haven't posted in a while because nothing has really changed over the past couple of weeks. My chin is still doing well. It has remained clear apart from one small pimple on the corner of my...

Hey guys. So I've been struggling with acne since I was 13 years old, and it's always been pretty bad for me. I'm a sophomore in college now and I think I'm really starting to deal with a lot of emoti...

My dermatologist just prescribed me .0025% Retin-A cream and 50 mg of spironolactone for my hormonal acne. I've heard that both of these can cause pretty severe initial breakouts on their own, so I'm ...

I've been on an antibiotic for a little over 7 weeks now. Like Syllacrostics, I didn't get any real improvements in my skin until around the 2-3 week mark. I still breakout a little bit, but it's much...

  Set backs can be so frustrating but it's great that your skin is better than when you started. Everyone seems to live by the "3 month" rule with acne treatments, but different skin respond...

  Required? Who makes these rules I hate situations like that just because I have no one to ask either. It was like that for my school formal and ended up taking a guy who I know through my ...

day 49/ 7 weeks! My forehead is finally calming down thank god! I've been clear there for the past few days, and the hyper pigmentation is slowly fading. Unfortunately I've had a couple of pimples co...

Hey everyone, It's been a while since I was on Doxycycline (finished it on October-Novemberish 2011) so I have several questions due to lack of memory. 1) Does Doxycycline make your skin a bit more re...

Hi everyone, I was just wondering what everyone thought as far as to take antibiotics or to not take them. I was given Doxycycline, 100 mg once a day to take for a month. I am a week into it and I ha...

I'm 30 yrs old (male) and I started getting consistent acne out of nowhere earlier this yr. I've had a few pimples here and there in the past, but they would come and go. Been breaking out really ba...

weed knocks you right out. Haha I'm sure it does. I've got no interest in drugs though.
