Has anyone found that your nodulocystic acne lessened as a result of using a retinoid? If so, which one did you use (including the concentration and formula type: lotion or cream)? I've been t...

I'm quite deficient in Vit. B12--to the point that I should be getting weekly injections for a while--but I know that high doses of Vit. B12 can cause acne. (I've read it on several websites and I als...

  I'm wondering if Tazorac (Taz) or Retin-A Micro (or the generic form of it) tends to work better for most people in their 30's/40's?   I'm in my late 30's and have been a lifelong acne s...

jennjennjenn,   Out of curiosity, did your derm tell you that it could be used on the skin beneath your eyes, or did you just decide to try it?     Thanks,   PI

I have Tretinoin gel (0.04%), which I've not braved trying, as several Acne.org members have said it makes scars (indentations) more noticeable. But I'm wondering if it can be used on skin directly be...

I don't know why, but the quote function isn't working for me. (It's failed on two different computers, in fact.) Ah, well...   That's a good point about using half of a capsule dose. The search...

Is there such a thing as a "low-dose" vitamin? I say that half-jokingly because so many vitamins seem to come in super-amped up amounts. Still, I will try to find the lowest possible dose of a vegetar...

  I am Vit. B12 deficient, and my doctor wants me to try taking a supplement before I resort to injections. But if I recall correctly, people on this forum have talked about Vit. B12 causing the...

The intent of this thread is to discuss Bacillus coagulans. If you guys wish to continue discussing other probiotic strains, please, start another thread about them. As it is, I'm concerned that other...

My skin was ok for a few months after stopping the pill, but then it just exploded with acne and took a long time to calm down. Approximately how long your bad breakout period lasted? And did you su...

I think it is synonymous with the acne community to be apprehensive when changing anything in a routine that is finally starting to work. It can feel very threatening to any success that you've worked...

I hear that many women who come off birth control are clear for a few months but after about half a year that's when the bad breakouts really start? That's what happened to me the one time that I at...

It really depends on how inflamed each cyst becomes, and the areas that they are located. I can get terrible cysts in areas like the jaw or forehead that will not scar at all, but I can also get very ...

I'm at that "magical" age at which I want to start using an anti-aging product. Problem is, every product I see either is labeled as a "cream," or the packaging makes no mention of it being non-acnege...

Tea Tree oil can be quite harsh on the skin, are using it diluted? I'm not diluting it, but since I'm applying Rose Hip Seed oil 15 minutes after the TT oil has soaked in, my skin's not as irritated...

Can Retin-A Micro--or the generic version--prevent scarring from cysts/nodules, especially those that already have surfaced? (By scarring, I'm talking about real damage to the skin--i.e., indentations...

Is there a known way to help balance one's hormones, especially after you stop taking the Pill--especially a high-androgen one? I just have learned that Minastrin--formerly Loestrin 24 Fe--is a high-...

I would say be use stuff that is gentle and let your skin naturally heal with decent diet. Purechimp super cleanser is worth a try. I'm in the States and would rather not deal with the hassle of suc...

I tend to develop (indented) scarring from cysts/nodules that I don't even pick at or squeeze. Is there any trick/product/supplement that anyone has found to help prevent scarring from cysts/nodules, ...
