thanks, I haven't ever seen a derm before so I'm hoping they can give me some more effective topicals. I've been using benzoyl peroxide and a modified version of the regimen for years and I'm never re...

Hey everyone. so I had a facial about 3 weeks ago. needless to say, I will not be getting another. I had a breakout and decided to go to an esthetician so they could get me pointed in the right direct...

ouch, that is not supposed to happen. stop using it. and put some ice on it. maybe take some benadryl. I hope it feels better!

that's amazing. I haven't seen a derm but have been researching and think retinoids may be what my skin needs. I have huge pores and oily skin and they all seem to be filled with junk. then I get flai...

good luck! I live in arizona, whenever it gets humid my skin goes crazy, but it's always on the hot side. also don't try too many things at once, I do that everytime and make things ten times worse.

Hey ladies! I've been trolling around looking for everyone's experiences on the birth control pill ortho cyclen. i just switched over to this pill from loestrin. did it help your skin? did you have an...

if it's dry I would go with a gentle milky cleanser like cetaphil. it's like a lotion consistancy. it will not treat acne but it's pretty neutral and most people have no problems with it.

I thibk you're on the right track. I would avoid making the area any more irritated. benadryl is a good idea to avoid it getting worse. I wouldn't apply any other treatments to the area until it heals...

wow, I can definitely see a huge improvement! keep at it, your skin is looking great!

I follow something similar to the recommended regimen on here. I used proactive or some generic form of it since i was in 6th grade on and off and have never had an issue with multiple steps. I am now...

I get closed comedones, especially on my forhead. they never get inflamed really for me though, unless I mess with them. benzoyl peroxide minimizes them, but doesn't seem to take them away. I just sta...

I second trying some benzoyl peroxide, it's the only thing that really works for me. some people have great success with coconut oil but it clogged me up horribly so be careful and pay attention to se...

I just wanted to say thank you to green gables for putting together and sharing this infomation here!I have been on loestrin generics for years and have always struggled with break outs, I never imagi...

I'm sorry the ortho made matters worse for you! I just started taking a generic version of it and have been on it for a week, hoping it doesn't mess me all up. I hope your skin is doing better now and...

have you tried cetaphil? I have very dehydrated skin but now that I'm older it is super sensitive. I used proactive for years and years and have always used benzoyl peroxide without any type of moistu...

I'll start off by saying I do not have severe acne, but it's very persistant. the majority of my issue is comedonal acne, super oily skin, large pores which I'm sure most people don't even notice but...

my skin seems to do better with colder showers. it just looks nice and things look less puffy. but im a stay at home mom and my skin stays pretty free from the elements other than when i work up a swe...

I'm going to be completely honest, my face looks the exact same. I have never been able to get rid of them...spent days and nights stressing over it after reading horror stories on here of people's fa...

glad to hear that things are improving for you! I'm only on the third day of the sprintec, so I'm not seeing any noticable changes yet. how do you like the cerave cleanser? I was using the gentle cet...

yes, little painless whiteheads were exactly what I got on the tri sprintec. when I switched to the lo loestrin I never got them again. i dont normally get painful pimples but i do occasionally get th...

Hey! so I have only been on 2 birth control pills. I have 4 children and have always gone on a generic for loestrin in between pregnancies. while I do not have several or really inflammatory acne, I h...

ok, this stuff smells awesome and has great reviews everywhere. so I found some and was convinced it'd magically make my pimples disappear (I have lots of skin colored bumps and blackheads type stuff)...

I actually had a good experience with proactive when I was younger (teenage years). I haven't tried the actual brand now that I'm older (25) but I have done acnefree and it's too drying for my skin no...

Hey! I'm much older than you (24) and still have skin problems. they started when i was in sixth grade and never really went away. It makes me sick that I have friends who don't even wash their face a...
