Just found your post and wanted to chime in! For reference, I am a 32 year old female with persistent hormonal chin acne. I'll spare you my history, but I started using Olay Regenerist products abo...

Acne runs in my family, both sides, male and female. However, I'm the only one who still has it as an adult...almost 33 years old. It's hard, but when I'm at a family gathering and I glance around a...

I guess I should probably talk to my doctor...she knows I'm struggling with persistent hormonal chin acne, and she's usually pretty open to "alternative" treatments. Maybe she can tell me if taking s...

I totally agree about restricting sun exposure. I am very fair skinned and I have always been diligent about avoiding the sun, and I know it has been key

I would definitely be interested...being almost 33 years old and still dealing with acne, I'm also looking into anti-aging skincare that won't aggravate my acne-prone skin. Great idea!

Thank you all for sharing . I think it helps to know that others have had similar experiences.

Inspiring!

@jabberwocky80 - Those are definitely some rough situations that you experienced ;(. I think the worst was the one involving your in-laws...they should have defended you and put that girl in her place...

@AyeAye - What a bittersweet story...that he encouraged you to remove your makeup, but then was kind of shocked. But it sounds like you had a good few years together!   I'm enjoying these stori...

I know this is an older thread, I'm just really curious if anyone still uses this regimen and if it's still working for them? Thanks!

@Someclearday - I can totally understand how you feel...but maybe you could still pursue a job in a derm's office...I think your best attribute for working in that environment would be the empathy and...

I tried it for a few weeks...it wasn't right for me .

I don't use Dan's regimen, but I do experience dry skin/flakiness in the winter (even though I have oily skin as a rule). Bring Spring!

@Someclearday - That must have been so hard! Having to go through the facial, and then be the class example... I admire you for choosing a profession like that, and having to be a guinea pig in scho...

I feel your pain I am 32 and have had acne in one form or another since age 11. I've had my ups and downs with it, and I've tried it all. My New Year's resolution is to take a multi-faceted approa...

@AmbitousOne - I feel for you on that one! @Foreverhealthy - I don't eat dairy, and overall my diet is pretty good, and free of my personal triggers (dairy, caffeine, chocolate, sugars, etc.).

I ordered Proactiv Plus and started using it last Monday, so it's been a week. So far I like the products, they seem less harsh than regular Proactiv. They have no fragrance, which is nice. Althoug...

My acne has been in the forefront of my mind lately, even more than usual. I'm just now starting to get over a really horrible breakout on my chin. I'm trying some new products, I'm eating better, exe...
