Also, I'm very interested in green tea moisturizers. These topical Rx's are pretty drying. I like Cetaphil but I specifically would like to try a green tea moisturizer. Anyone know of any good ones th...

I am going to my dermatologist tomorrow after using Clindamycin Phosphate Lotion for a few months with no success. I want a product that will not purge my skin as the Clindamycin has. I NEED to get ri...

Thank you. I am actually treating the problem hormonally, via birth control pills. I am on Ortho Tri Cyclen. I should have mentioned that earlier. I have been on it for about 3 months now, maybe 4 mon...

Yo, dawgs. Read the whole post for a background on my situation, skip to the last paragraph for the actual questions. So...I'm going back to my dermatologist next week for my late-onset adult acne....

can I asked what herbal remedy you used to clear your skin? and yes I've read wonderful things about what grapeseed oil can do for marks/scars leftover from acne. But I've also heard it's good for ac...

I have mild-moderate late-onset adult hormonal acne (mouthful, I know...) I have been reading about grapeseed oil, and how it's supposed to be good for hormonal acne. has anyone tried this? If so, h...

Hey, hun. I know EXACTLY what you are going through. I went my whole life without being touched by acne...then all of the sudden, at the age of 25, I started to get breakouts...what gives??? Late-ons...

Hey everyone!! WARNING: this is going to be a little lengthy. But I'll love you forever if you can help me. It's been quite a while since my last post. Feels kinda good to be back...even though it m...

Just turned 25 this month

So I am on my 5th month of (Norgestimate-ETH Estradiol Tab) GENERIC for Ortho Tri Cyclen...and I am STILL having breakouts! My skin was mild before I started this stuff, then BAM I get moderate and p...

I have been sitting on a prescription of Epiduo, not taking it, because of this fear. Please let me know how it goes. I would stick with it for another 2-4 weeks. My Dermatologist told me by 2 months ...

So I am approaching my 5th month of Ortho Tri Cyclen BCPs...and I have to say my skin has FINALLY begun to clear up. I had a sudden outbreak of hormonal acne about 6-7 months ago, having never had a p...

I'm curious which birth control pill females have had success with for combating acne? I'm wanting to change mine because I believe mine actually is making mine worse. I'm on loestrin fe 1/20 (2 years...

Hey guys, sorry it's been a few days. The epiduo may not be for me. It BURNS. to the point where I don't know if my skin really needs it. My acne is so mild now, through giving soooo much time to O...

Hi there, I have only been on Epiduo for a few weeks now, so I don't have too much insight for you, but I will still tell you about my experience so far. The first few days on it I didn't experience ...

wow, REALLY helpful info, thanks so much!! "Azeleic acid - Skinoren and FinaceaAzeleic acid" -- will definitely try that because I DO have mild acne now (after it finally seems to be calming down from...

@michi I think I will get a hormone test, asap. They gave me epiduo today to add to my BCPs. HOPING AND PRAYING I don't get another IB!! It was so painful, the thought of another one makes me cringe. ...

@michi Thank you for your insight. Do you know if it's possible to get hormone testing done while on birth control? I almost feel like that could be more effective, because then they would see what m...

Aww, I feel for you I've been on birth control since I was 14, and every time I've changed BCPs or tried to abandon it all together, my skin acts up. I am currently in the process of adjusting to a ...

Green Gables is right, sometimes it takes more than one pill before you find YOUR pill. I have been on birth control since I was 14, not for actual birth control at that age, but hormonal control. I ...

I am going on my 5th month (less than 2 weeks away before I start my 5th pack) of Ortho Tri Cyclen, and my skin is still worse than when I started. I am 25, and have never had acne before in my life,...
