I’ve been on Spironolactone for a year. It has saved my skin. I also know that if I were to stop talking it, my acne would come back. Today my dermatologist said that since I’m clear maybe I should go...

The Spiro is working for me. It took several months to clear me up, but it did it. Also washing with salicylic gel wash and I apply a benzoyl peroxide treatment all over my face after I moisturize. I ...

Hey. Last year I was in your shoes. I too suffered from cystic acne before that accutane took care of. Imagine how devastated I was to turn 32 and get hit with the worst cystic acne/hormonal breakout ...

So after a solid year on Spironolactone my horrible cystic hormonal acne is clear. I do also use a salicylic acid face wash and BP treatment with my moisturizer. I’m so happy my skin is clear! It is p...

That just might work! I will give it a try. Thank you

I’ve been using Paula’s Choice benzoyl peroxide 2.5%. It works great, it’s keeping me for the most part pretty clear. However, the dry skin is mis...

Very depressing. The spironolactone did help a lot. I’m on month 5. Derm upped my dosage of spironolactone to 100mg daily, but I haven’t imp...

I’ve had it. My face is literally destroyed from breaking out in the past few months. Still have some cysts but not as many... still have some closed comedones but way less... scarred horrifically fro...

Perhaps it’s hormones? You could ask the derm about checking your hormones.

Back in April I stopped using BP... like many others, I read up about long term affects of using it and how it can be damaging to your skin. Well, I regret it. Looking back, that’s w...

Hey. So... I’m still breaking out. Mostly the bottom half of my face. My jaw, under my cheekbones... it’s depressing because I already have scars there from my form...

About a month ago I started to break out, mostly with what looked like closed comedones. Before that it was nice and clear. I just used my salicylic acid wash and Lush tea tree toner. My skin has been...

Thank you!

I have the same problem recently. I am now stopping eating gluten to see if that helps, and using my favorite benzoyl peroxide lotion again which seems to be bringing them to a surface. I’m broken out...

So what happened was that I stopped using my benzoyl peroxide lotion a couple months ago. Also a bunch of stress happened, overdried my skin, so I broke out. I ended up getting a TON of closed comedon...

A couple months ago I broke out with a ton of closed comedones around the sides of my chin. Looks terrible under light. I finally found that using Clinique Acne Solitions all over clearing treatment (...

So I made two big mistakes with my skin. It was breaking out with closed comedones and I panicked. Didn’t think things through. Had anxiety and acted impulsively. First, I overexfoliated. I knew my sk...

Okay awesome. I’m hoping that will help. I’m glad it’s helpibg you.

One of my biggest concerns right now are closed comedones. I have had them before, and nothing got rid of them. They stayed for even years at a time. Eventually what happens, is they turn into a huge ...

The best my skin ever does - regardless of diet, vitamin supplements, etc... is when I’m using benzoyl peroxide. I have been on accutane, all of the antibiotics, birth control pills, supplements (some...
