Sensitisma

Yay!!

It took longer than 4 days for me. I actually got oilier the first week, then suddenly my skin & lips started to dry out, but nothing terrible. Give it a little more time before you get side effe...

Jojoba oil works pretty well as a makeup remover? I have some, so I'll have to give that a try next time I have a dry skin day. I also really like the CeraVe PM moisturizer. I alternate between that o...

I would give your body more time to get used to the Yasmin because it can make acne worse at first, then it is supposed to make it better. It's one of the few BC pills with an indication for acne (Yaz...

Yay! I'm glad that you're starting to see some improvement

I weigh 100 pounds, so the 40mg dose is about right for me. My derm did offer to up my dose, but only to take an extra pill here and there because she said my weight is at point where I could stay whe...

Good luck! Your acne looks like mine did before I got it under control except mine was all on my chin and jawline. My skin is pretty clear now because I've been on Claravis for almost 2 months and did...

That sucks, but at least you can still continue taking it at a lower dose and don't have to stop completely. The diet and exercise changes should help. I need to get my act together with my exercise r...

Got my Cure Aqua Gel in the mail yesterday and tried it last night. That stuff is awesome! Thanks for recommending it If you haven't used that stuff on your lips, you need to try it. Mine are so soft...

Awesome nail job! I'm so happy that your skin is behaving I'm in shopping mode myself lately; 'tis the season

I have a little eczema on my stomach from taking claravis & my derm presribed Vanos for it; it has worked beautifully. I am also much better about moisturizing thoroughly everywhere. I focused so ...

That's awesome! The red marks seem to go away faster while taking this stuff for me, so hopefully that will be the case for you too.

I looked on Beauty Carousel first, but with their shipping costs it would have been more expensive than Amazon (or maybe the same) & it wanted Paypal, which I don't use. I love that you are real...

Clinique just came out with a BB cream (released in in the US anyway). I tried the Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream over the summer & I broke out really bad (nodules on my chin & right by my mou...

I agree with you on the caked over zits makeup look. I did it anyway when my skin was really bad because otherwise my face was so red you could see it from really far away. That's really great that yo...

Yay! I'm so glad for you that things are clearing Get the rash on your hands under control quickly so it doesn't spread. I have to wash my hands a lot because I work in healthcare, so I use a heavy h...

Hang in there! One day this will all be a distant memory.

How rude! As far as I'm seeing on these boards, everyone's experience is different. I'm sure most of us are professionals when it comes to taking care of acne prone skin because we've been dealing wit...

Cool! I'll check that stuff out because I've been wondering how to exfoliate while taking Claravis. I would normally use a 1% salicylic acid gel, but I'm afraid too because I don't want to irritate m...

Wow! You're my size and on 80mgs! I wonder if my derm is going to put me on a dose that high... What's The Cure?

Yay! Sounds like you are doing well. Do your cysts seem to go away faster now?

You poor thing! I'm sorry that you are having so many crappy side effects. I agree with Elle that you should see about dropping your dose to tame the side effects. As for your eyes, are you still wear...

Good luck! Hopefully you won't have another breakout from the increase.

I'll have to look at those occuvites because my eyes are really dry already. For the styes, have you tried a stye ointment to treat them? I've have a few styes in the past and that works really well. ...

Wow, that's awesome! Maybe they should list faster healing as a possible side effect. It could use some positive things on that scary list!
