What brand of Cod Liver Oil capsule are you using? I am going to try this and am curious as to what people take.

The skin on our lips has a really high turnover. You'll be fine. =)

Thankfully my face was not terribly scarred. The TERRIBLE news is that my back has tons of pink flat/slightly depressed scars, one in particular being the size of a half dollar coin. On my shoulders a...

Thank you for sharing! This is very interesting. So glad you are having success and I hope that it continues to work. =)

Vitamin A I guess is similar in structure to the accutane. Vitamin D is also supposed to be helpful. I haven't tried either, but several people have suggested taking cod liver oil (with both of these...

Haha, no that's Marilyn Monroe in my profile pic, sadly. I am no Marilyn. But I think I'm pretty in my own right. I would like to be able to go without foundation without feeling self-conscious, thou...

I have been on retinoids in the past while using this but i stopped because all they do is make my skin red and peel. i never get past that part no matter how long i use them. i seem to have better lu...

How long have you been using the regimen? It would be helpful to know more details, see pictures, and so on.

Did your dermatologist advise you to use sunscreen always when in the sun when he or she prescribed you the tretinoin? Knowing what tretinoin does, this should be standard.

Hi all you wonderfuls. My dermatologist just started me on adapalene (differin) every other night and she suggested Cetaphil or Cerave as a mild cleanser to use at night (I use BP wash every morning...

Ortho tri-cyclin varies your hormone levels (hence the tri). Other pills keep your hormone levels more constant. Acne-prone people are more sensitive to hormonal changes, which is the root of all acne...

I'm so glad you found a good birth control for you! I've heard it is definitely better to have a pill that keeps your hormone levels constant (Sprintec versus tri-sprintec is an example of this) becau...

I am on the pill (have been on the same one for 2+ years) and have never seen any changes in my skin like acne only the occasional breakout during that specific time every so often. I used the face ...

This might be silly, but if you talk on the phone a lot on your right side, try cleaning your screen with rubbing alcohol regularly and hold it away from your face. Just a thought.

I have used Medicine Mama Apothecary's Ultra Beauty Balm, which contains propolis, manuka honey, royal jelly, bee pollen (and extra virgin olive oil). It wasn't really effective in clearing my acne bu...

One at a time.

Don't use coconut oil, it's the devil. It's harsh and clogs pores, and dries you out more.

You are probably allergic to something.

I've tried and had success with doxycycline, but being female it just causes other problems downstairs if you know what i mean....   Tried spiro, didn't do anything noticeable for me. I've had h...

Hmmm, you actually made me dig up my allergy test results and looking back at it corn was high on my list of allergies (8th in line after Goat Milk, Baker's Yeast, Cow Milk, Brewer's Yeast, Soya Bean,...

First of all, take a big, deep breath. That is not severe acne. Second of all, go the drugstore and buy some PanOxyl or another spot treatment with Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%. At night, wash your face wi...

MY EARS. Oh, my god. I either have seb derm or staph in my ears. Who'd have known? I knew it was bad to scratch inside my ears but they get so itchy and then they break out. Going to try this method ...

Corn allergies can be severe and come on quickly. I have a friend who is allergic to corn and her symptoms (digestive issues, respiratory, rash) come on really quickly. Since you had ketchup, that mig...
