There is no scientific proof that dieting has anything to do with acne. Try your dieting options for the next few weeks and let us know how it works for you. The reason for such encouragement is that...

So I waxed half of my upper lip the other day using sally hansen wax strips. I haven't done the other side yet but I will. It hurt a little more than usual and i was very cautious. I put a heavy layer...

Lemon juice doesn't really work, no...

Spiro is a diuretic but it also works off-label as an androgen blocker, which inhibits testosterone in your body. This is the root of hormonal acne for most women - too many androgens.

Differin works by increasing your skin cell turnover. It may bring up existing acne from under the skin so your skin may get worse before it gets better. I use it in combination with BP wash and clind...

Agh... going abroad can wreak havoc on your body. I gained a ton of weight in France.. I couldn't really tell until I saw the pictures. I don't know what your food situation is like. Do you live with...

Pictures? It sounds like it could be a cyst. To draw it out, you can use a cotton ball or clean wash cloth soaked in warm (not too hot that it will burn you but on the side of hot) sea salt water per...

Yes! I'm such a fan of gentle cleansers and moisturizing. It helps with irritation and inflammation, which can make worlds of difference in acne-prone skin. As far as Ziana goes, I think skipping a ...

  Accutane has the risk of the same side effects as long term use of Minocycline that the above posters have mentioned. It's also a form of chemotherapy and is toxic to your body. Are these i...

What about donating plasma? that way you make money too? (if over 18 =P)

There is something called body dysmorphia, which is what you describe when you look in the mirror and see a different person than what is reality. As others have said, I think seeking out professiona...

Accutane has the risk of the same side effects as long term use of Minocycline that the above posters have mentioned. It's also a form of chemotherapy and is toxic to your body. Are these indented or...

I would definitely use a gentle cleanser given what else you are using. Topical treatments and birth control pills typically make it worse before it gets better. Give it another month (you've been o...

I would follow the directions of your dermatologist. Retin-a is pretty strong stuff so you might not want to do the two treatments at the same time. More is not better. I use clindamycin in the morni...

It might help but I doubt it will be effective on its own if at all. Acne may have cleared up for this person due to a variety of factors. But it's a relatively cheap and safe option to try?

Well if your skin is dry during the winter, I think it might signal that you need a non-drying product during the winter months. But I'd say if you're happy with the foaming one or whatever you use th...

Ask your doctor about topical retinoids.

I worked at a summer camp too and am in theater. I just sent you a message ^-^ Funny how summer camp automatically equals better skin even though you're completely dirty and sweaty all day. In other...

You'll want concealer, a matte, full-coverage foundation, and a powder to set the makeup. You can buy these from the drugstore. None of these should contain SPF because it reflects light and can make ...

Quit using carmex and maybe change your toothpaste. Hope that helps!

Retinoids work to increase the cell turnover in your skin so underlying breakouts come through faster. But if acne is caused by an internal issue (hormones, dietary, etc) retinoids can't eradicate acn...

This is pretty close to what I do, except I use the BP wash (panoxyl creamy wash 4) just in the morning, followed by the clindamycin phosphate. In the evening, I use Cerave Hydrating Cleanser followed...

Quit eating dairy, sugar and alcohol and see what happens.

Antibiotics in particular lose effectiveness overtime if not stored properly, closed tightly from oxygen and humidity. If you store the products in the bathroom, I'd lock them. And even if you store t...
