awesome. ya, none of the extractions I had done scarred, though I was a bit scabby for a few days and had to resist the temptation to pick them all off. I've seen alot of people say that extractions a...

if done incorrectly, I'm sure extractions can cause scarring. however, none of the extractions I had from my facial scarred...but they did scab and we're a bit pink for awhile. you do much more damage...

yes, I got super dry from lack of moisturizer but my skin was probably 90 percent smooth and clear so I would definitely recommend trying it. my breakouts were more u der control after that point and ...

hopefully! ive never given anything with salicylic acid time to work because ive always relied on BP and get too paranoid to go without it. I did order the trial size of dans aha, I have yet to try it...

ok, the metrogel felt great upon application and then the areas that I applied it started swelling! it was terrifying, I guess I have an allergy? they lrescribed me clindamycin instead but i havent tr...

ya, i would just switch back to the daily cleanser or start with the new one but my skin is still going through something weird from getting all irritated. I stopped in at urgent care and they think i...

ya. it was pretty bad. I thought my skin would purge it out so to speak but it stayed the same basically. if I wore makeup I think they would have been far more noticable. my skin also looked kinda du...

my skin generally looks alot better in the morning. I think it may be due to the fact that you're a bit puffy when you wake up and just well rested so everything looks alot smoother. personally though...

ok, I'm breaking out the same way I did when I was on the ortho tri cyclen. pimples on and around my nose (not a typical breakout area for me and I'm treating with BP to no avail) and little clogged p...

nope, they're actual little whiteheads or something. they are tiny but the nose is just a bad spot in general, you see everything. im slathering benzoyl peroxide on the whole area so hopefully it'll z...

by breakouts I mean a few under the skin sore spots around my chin...like one at a time and those Itty bitty clogged pores type of closed comedones. I also have a few random tiny limples/clogs on my n...

ya, foaming cleansers make me feel way drier than typical acne cleansers do for some reason. with birth control you have to give it about 3 to 4 months to let your hormones settle before switching or ...

you and me both! it isn't anything major, just those dreadful clogged pores all between my nose and upper lip that never seem to go away and just look kinda gross. I'm guessing it was the Flux of horm...

I got a facial recently and they did alot of extractions. my skin was so smooth the week after, it was amazing. but I did have an allergic reaction to something they used and my face is in awful shape...

I'm going to bump this. i cant give you a definitive answer and am curious about this myself and want some actual experienced feedback. my main issue is closed comedones. I get blackheads as well but ...

thanks for your input, Eli_G! I have been on ortho tri cyclen (generic) before (for 5 months) and I would get little whiteheads in my eyebrow area and chin that would mysteriously clear up every time ...

I know it drives you crazy, but it's just what some skins look like. Mine does anyway, and I think alot of it is simple genetics I have crazy big pores. they are the bane of my existance, along with ...

yup, lots of people don't like the acne.org moisturizer(but lots also do) or just prefer to use their own products. Doesn't matter, just use what works for you!

I concur with Eli_G. if my face gets worse when I start using something, I stop and go back to what i was doing previously. granted, this may mean I never completely get rid of my lroblems, but I've s...

Hey jalisa92, I hope you figured out a way to make the regimen work for you! I'm going to be completely honest. I don't use moisturizer. I do not advocate doing this though. my skin has a permanently ...

there's a really great post on here from green gables about the different types of progesterone in birth control pills. I haven't been on either of the ones you mentioned, so I have no experience to o...

anyone? I'll update. I have 2 active pills left in my pack. I have had no major breakouts, a couple of chin zits that have since cleared up. my skin and hair got extremely greasy but I was also trying...

acne free is going to be like the original proactive. I haven't tried the proactive plus myself but generally had good results with acne free. you definitely want an additional lotion though as it can...
