I went back on Retinoids August of last year after staying clear for a year and a half post Accutane. I started accumulating many closed comedones and they were slowly and systematically starting to c...

By direction of my derm, I apply a pea sized dab of Aczone in the AM and pea sized dab of Adapalene 0.1% at night. I experienced some pretty wretched flare ups when I began Adapalene, but I did read...

I ate eggs the entire time I was on it. I also consume more eggs than what is considered "normal", because I work out. I never experienced any adverse effects in my blood work. I actually didn't exper...

I think that's exactly why they don't take it seriously. It's a non life threatening medical condition that generates billions of dollars in prescriptions, cosmetics, over the counter products, facial...

Wow, wish you had 'before' pics. Your skin looks great. I also took Accutane - I stayed relatively clear for about 1.5 years post. I was just about ready to begin scar treatments, but now the acne has...

I did it 3 times and realized I was kind of wasting my time for the improvement I wanted. Maybe I wasn't as patient as I should've been but then again it's different for everyone. Here's an after pic....

Hi guys, I recently joined acne.org because of the struggle that acne has put me through. I've had mild acne for 3 years but this year it became worse. It was specifically located on my forehead but n...

It's noticeable. I'll take better pics. I was on Retin-A in high school (late 90s), but it was too strong for my skin. It also did little to nothing to stop new acne. I wonder if it would help now. Th...

your scarring is so minor i wouldnt do anything crazy. you could do a series of tca peels to try and even things out a bit but i wouldnt do much more than that. You really think that's minor??? I w...

Thank you so much for sharing your post. I'm going to look into derma-stamping. In response to the last post - chemical peel alone will probably not do much for physical scars. In my experience, chemi...

I've had moderate to severe acne for the majority of my life. As you can see from the pics, it has taken quite a toll on my skin. Now that my skin is relatively clear, I am ready to start treating the...

Are you under the care of a dermatologist for your acne? If not, you really should see one ASAP to get whatever is causing your acne under control. I did not experience acne until my mid 20s. By the t...
