Rachie39

Proactiv is not a good product and dermatologist dont recommend it as it doesnt work to treat acne and stop it from coming it. Its a band-aid so I think its great that you want to stop using it and I ...

Ok. Im just trying to help. I know its like a bandaid, I know its frustrating. I know it sucks. Give accutane a chance then. You maybe one of the lucky ones who takes it for how ever many months, gets...

Yeah I think that until the reason your getting acne is sorted out, you will need a skin care routine. I know it sucks. I wish it was as simple as just doing something to get rid of the acne and then ...

I reckon its an option for you. Have you spoken to a dermatologist. My derm says its best to try differin or epiduo before accutane. Differin is pretty much accutane in a cream version without the sid...

Im just beginning differin but I was on epiduo for 3 months prior and it caused my pale skin to go orange peel colour too. I wish it would go back to pale. Did your derm say anything about how your sk...

Hey guys. Im 32/F and have just started Spironolactone. Im only on 12.5mg because my doctor is being cautious as I have anorexia and my bp is already low and shes worried about it messing up my electr...

What face wash you use is up to you. But dont use both together. You can always use one wash in the morning and the other wash at night. The oil is your moisturiser and to be used after a wash. If you...

Ohh thats not an actual moisturiser, its a face cleanser/wash. That makes more sense. Yes, ot does replace your soap. And yes, do what it says. Wet your face and then use the product, then wash off an...

Ive never heard of having to wash off a moisturiser, that seems odd to me. What one says to do that? After I wash, I dry my face and then apply the moisturiser. My dermatologist would have told me to ...

Yeah I seem to remember when the climate changes here, just having the change does effect my skin. I dont think skin/acne prone skin, likes temp changes. It has to adjust which can cause more acne fla...

Cystic acne Ive recently began to believe is usually cured mostly by having to go on 'the pill'. (Birth control). If thats not something your ok with, ask your dr for a script for 'Epiduo'. (The next ...

I was asking myself the same question. I tried cetaphil and it was good but I felt like I needed something with a bit 'more' acne fighting ingredients. Thankfully I went to see a dermatologist and she...

I think that if a pimple is ready to pop and your being very gentle with washing then its ok. Its when you start to apply pressure to popping a pimple that its more likely to scar.

My Dermatologist told me that both are very similar and both she highly recommended. Im currently using the la roche posay sunscreen but another one she also recommended that is great for acne prone s...

I can definitely understand why you ended up taking it, and while I am saying that its too risky and should only be a last resort, I also think that if I got to that stage where it was a last resort, ...

Accutane/Roaccutane is extremely risky. So many people regret taking it. Alot are dealing with really bad side effects 2, 5 and 10+ years later. But on the other hand, you might be one of the lucky on...

Are you using sunscreen? This is SO important while on Epiduo! So soooo important! I made the mistake the other day by going out into the sun for 4 mins without sunscreen, and now my face is bright re...

Im guessing you have probably tried benzoyl peroxide but have you tried Epiduo cream? My derm calls it a low dosage roaccutane cream. Im currently using it and while it does take a month for your skin...

Im sorry your going through this. Cysts are the worst kind of acne I reckon. I dont think surgically removed is a good idea. I know 3 months is a long wait. (The dermatologist I wanted to see has a 14...
