I am 32 and have been on Orthotricyclen or Orthotricyclen Lo since I was 19, only stopping when I wanted to get pregnant, then going right back on. I think it helped my skin when I was younger, but s...

Well said! So many of us are thankful to Dan and all that he has contributed to the acne sufferers of the world. I am very thankful to this online community that he started. The support and resourc...

Thank you so much for your reply, Semmer. I have cut out most dairy...even ice cream, which I love. It has certainly helped. I have increased my water intake. The only other thing I drink is green...

I am considering upping the dose of D3, but if I do, I should buy separate D3...I don't want to take multiple doses of the combo vitamin. I think the dosages of the other vitamins in it are sufficien...

I started breaking out around age 11, so unfortunately, you're not too young I would say to NOT do what I did, and that's avoid getting professional help for it. I am 32 and I've spent 21 years dea...

In the combo vitamin that I'm taking, the vitamin D3 dose is 600IU, and right now I'm only taking one pill per day. It says it's 167% of the daily value. I'm not sure what the typical dosage is for ...

Thanks for your input!

I've had acne for as long as I can remember...since age 11/12. I am 32 now and still have breakouts. I am getting what I think is hormonal acne (isolated to my chin). It is almost always cystic - l...

Oops! I should have proofread! Yes, definitely a typo - NO new lesions! I'll have to check the vitamin bottle when I get home to see how much the dosage is. It's a vitamin D3/zinc/magnesium/calci...

I'm so sorry for what you and your son are going through. I too started with acne at a young age, I still battle it to this day. I have two young sons and I am terribly afraid that they will encount...

  32...hoping to be cleared up by 33 (this summer). Over 20 years with acne. I want my life back!

I totally agree with you, taking antibiotics to help acne that is being caused by your BCP seems like a completely ignorant suggestion! I myself just started taking a zinc supplement, as well as vitam...

Greetings to all, I am also new and really appreciated your sharing. We have similar stories! I began getting acne at 11, and now at age 35 am still battling it. I did OTC during adolscence and was la...

I've been using the Clear line since it first came out and love it, definetly worth a try. Thanks! Good to know I decided to call them and their advice, and they suggesting the Skin Balancing sys...

I've tried lots of the OTC products out there. Have had bouts of clear skin in my life, but the acne always comes back. After lots of research, I'm considering trying Paula's Choice Skin Balancing l...

Amazing! Congrats to you!

I totally agree! I am 32 and have had acne since around 11/12 and have tried it all. It's only recently, after so much trial and error, and lots of research, that I've come to the same realization -...

That's good to know...I'm already taking a combo B supplement that has extra zinc, magnesium, and C in it. I'm going to add the D3 as soon as I can get to the store Definitely let me know if you fi...

I always thought that you had to start taking the pill the Sunday after you start your period, and I always did. But then, after I had my second son, my OBGYN told me that I could start it anytime......

Thanks for sharing your story. Great to know about that product!

Great post, very interesting. Certainly seems worth a try. I've read elsewhere that vitamin D can be very effective with acne, due to it being a hormone. I hope you maintain your amazing results!

Thank you all for your responses and comments! I have never actually been to a dermatologist...it scares me! My general practitioner has prescribed DIfferin, that was ages ago. I do currently tak...

I am a 32 year old female with primarily hormonal acne (chin area, mostly around "that time of the month"). It has become pretty severe. Just wondering if anyone has had success with Paula's Choice ...

I am a 32 year old wife and mother of two. I work in healthcare administration. And I HATE that I am still plagued by acne. After years of stalking this website during my battle with acne, I finall...
