I agree with the low carb results. 4 months ago I started seeing a nutritionist who recommended not eating wheat, dairy, soy, corn, or refined sugar and my skin is much less oily,inflamed and congeste...

Couldn't your derm tell you? I always heard it's 6mo to 1 yr wait time for it to be out of your system.

I believe there are bcp that are low progesterone, though I've never tried them. Just ortho, which sucked. My skin has the same issues, it's always a mess during the 2nd half of my cycle. My doctor ...

That's great! Congrats!

According to my blood results,my hormones are fine. My doctor said my symptoms point to PMDD (basically severe PMS) and said antidepressants work really well for it. It's like a sensitivity to changi...

Thanks

So I'm extremely anxious so I apologize in advance for my lack of helpful information, but I should be getting my results back for my blood and salvia hormone tests by early next week. The doctor wa...

I've spent a few years ignoring how my uneven skin actually looks. I take care of it, keep it clean, but I haven't really looked at my pores and marks closely until recently. Its driving me batshit! &...

So I tried maca root and swear that the lowest dosage calmed my skin, and also gave me some insomnia. And after just over a month, the insomnia got better and the acne came back. My hormones have ...

So I had a microderm between my scheduled monthly peels. The process was very relaxing (go figure) and my skin did feel much cleaner for a few days after, but that clean feeling didn't last nearly as ...

I commend your dedication but I'm not sure if the fasting will help with much more than decreasing oil production temporarily and allow you to weed out food insensitivies as you reintroduce solids aga...

I just had my 2nd Jessner peel last week and this time I didn't peel or really flake. I did notice that I shed a very fine layer (i was dry and "scaley" day 4). My esthetician told me that if I'd eve...

I recently have been noticing my skin getting less oily (from almost 10 oil-blotter sheets a day to about 4), but it's hard to pinpoint what's doing it cause I changed a few things recently. I've bee...

This is the first I've heard of retin-a causing that orange peel look. I've had this issue awhile, but I think it was just the way my acne healed (i guess I'm lucky I just have the pores and shallow s...

A few weeks ago I started taking maca root and so far I've got no complaints. I usually break out this time of the month and so far, knock on wood, I'm still clear.

That's rough, I'm sorry. Did you ever find a pill to replace it and balance you out again?

Thank you so much  I have really shallow ones that are visible in the light that cover my cheeks and forhead, and actually my pores didn't get like that until I ha...

That's awesome! I'm that case, way to take care of everything at once. Wish you the best of luck and hope it works out!

That's great that you're taking all these steps to treat everything. May I ask, aren't you supposed to be off isotretionin before performing micoderm or other scar treatments? I'm not trying to be ru...

After a good deal of my own internet research I decided to get a 3 layer half strength jessner peel (7%) by an aestetition.  I chose half strength because I'm in work and sc...

I've been using Everyday Minerals power foundation for years and I don't break out from it. Though I must admit, the coverage I get is good but not perfect because if I build I up too much it brings o...
