Day 181 Current condition of my skin; Breakouts from picking are nearly all gone. It's taken more than a week for them to heal. Skin is less red and inflamed. Mum commented that my skin looked better ...

So, my acne is mostly whiteheads, and I'm wondering what everyone does to heal the scabs they get when you don't pick it and it eventually forms a scab? Do you keep putting BP/another topical on it un...

I am pissed and upset. I have a really important day coming up tomorrow, and all my breakouts were healing yesterday. I had no active pimples on my face this morning so I was in a good mood. HOWEVER,...

I guess this is a rant as well as a question. I have mild/moderate acne. When I start to feel new spots coming up/wake up in the morning with new ones, I get really depressed and stressed. Even if it'...

Hey Rosalie! Good luck with your regimen, I hope it works out for you. I have had pretty severe anxiety/depression which stemmed from my acne in the past, along with mild OCD, so I can kinda relate to...

Day 179 Current condition of my skin; Breakouts from picking are calming down and starting to go away - finally. They came back in the same place; they'd scab up, the scab would fall off, and there wo...

You should take a folic acid supplement when you are taking a birth control pill, it depletes the vitamin in the body. My gyno said to take around 1000 mcg while on a birth control pill . Ooo, I'll ...

Hello acne log! I hope this is the beginning of a happier time in my life. For me, acne = anxiety, depression and very low self-confidence, so I've decided to start this log to keep me on the right tr...

The talc and dimethicone may not be helping - I know talc breaks me out. I use 'cosdna' to look up the ingredients in makeup, you can search most products and it'll tell you which ingredients could ca...

I'd suggest looking into a more 'natural' makeup, like Alima Pure. I recently started using it and it hasn't broken me out at all, and trust me, every normal foundation (high-end or drugstore) breaks ...

Yup- I tried MAC a few years back because I heard some people do not break out from it. Of course I did, my skin is so sensitive. The exact same thing happened to me. I had a terrible breakout from...

I feel so indescribably hideous; almost worthless and certainly unworthy of attention from the opposite sex. I know I don't need to rationalize any of this given the target audience! I know how thi...

I've also been using just enough to cover the spot, and I've had no new breakouts in the past few days and the redness/irritation has gone down some, so it seems the BP was the cause after all. I'm th...

I think using products like BP and Proactiv has made my skin so sensitive that I can't use it anymore... I have a feeling I may be a little allergic to it too, and my skin sounds the same as yours whe...

I've just started taking vitamin D, but only 1000ui a day (which is just what it recommends on the bottle). Haven't noticed a difference yet but it's only been a couple of days. I decided to start tak...

I have a problem with picking my skin, but it's been about a week since I have. It's so hard to stop but I know it was making a mess of my face I love the elastic band idea, I'll have to try that!

I think using products like BP and Proactiv has made my skin so sensitive that I can't use it anymore... I have a feeling I may be a little allergic to it too, and my skin sounds the same as yours whe...

My skin gets so angry and red when I use it in large areas. I've had a massive breakout (6-7 pimples) in the past day or so and the BP is the only thing I've changed so I reckon that could be why. I ...

To those of you with mild acne or who have just a few spots here and there, do you use BP all over your face or just to spot treat? I've found if I use it all over my problem areas I break out, tho...

I started using skin care with a low amount of SA in it about three weeks ago, and I have to say I've noticed that my complexion in general is starting to look brighter and smoother. I only have mild ...

I've started using Alima Pure, and I liked it so much I've stopped using my liquid foundation, except for special occasions. I was surprised that the coverage was so good, my chin is pretty red with P...

Estee Lauder Double Wear Light definitely broke me out, I got these red bumps/rash on my chin. When I stopped using it they went away. I searched for ages for something that wouldn't break me out, an...

Society places too much emphasis on looks. There's way more to life than how attractive a person is, with or without acne.

Have googled this connection and it looks like some people have flare ups taking soy milk, yet others dont. I'm at a bit of a loss as what to do.. any suggestions ? I recently stopped eating all dai...

Wow, where do you get your powder from? I go through my powder so quickly. I get a lot of my makeup from sephora. I use Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Correcting Powder. It's ver...
