I'd recommend using it for body treatment only. The skin on your face is much thinner than the rest of your body, and as such, it usually doesn't have as much tolerance for robust chemicals. When intr...

Arguably the simplest way to get the most bang for your buck is to perform a generalized search (such as "benzoyl peroxide acne treatment" instead of a specific product) on whatever online shopping si...

I have a few blemishes on my forearms and around the elbows that only long-sleeved clothing can hide. A couple have still only partially faded after about 2 - 3 years. It's very, very frustrating, and...

I've been wondering this about myself as well. You should get a blood test before anything else, after which you might be able to receive professional advice on what you can do to reduce your testoste...

It might be keratosis pilaris. It's more often found in body areas like the chest or back, but its presence on the face isn't rare. Moisturizers are highly emphasized in the treatment of KP, as well a...

Good to know it's not just me. I like the copy+paste idea.

Acne localized along the chin and/or jawline is usually a result of hormonal imbalances. You'd probably find healthy lifestyle improvements beneficial: exercise, sleep, diet, everything of the sort. Y...

Thought I'd return, 'cus why not? I recently bought two new products: Neutrogena Oil-free Moisture for Sensitive Skin, and Sea Breeze Actives Original Formula Astringent. I've only used them twice so ...

Supplements/medications are a frequent culprit of acne localized near the jawline. 16,000 IU of vitamin A daily is a pretty high dosage, so it could be having an adverse effect. As for hyperpigmentati...

Good luck!

Every other day is an aggressive frequency for exfoliation. A general guideline states that once a week is plenty. Your skin could be less sensitive and more tolerant to it, but it might be optimal to...

Well, here's whats happened in the last few days. I've been changing my routine a lot for a rather long time, but something I used recently had a horrible effect. Made my blemishes even redder and ext...

I'm trying to post a cover photo on my profile, but I keep finding that it's zoomed in too close. Does the image have to be extra wide? I notice that the overall height/width doesn't seem to make a di...

The predominant factor is genetics. Some people will hardly see a sign of acne in their life, even if their hygiene isn't all that great. Others struggle with it for decades. Of course, just because i...

I always thought this was bogus, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to try. Was clean yesterday and the day before, so I'll call it day 3.

I went through multiple products that proved counterproductive. At the moment, the cleanser I use is Spectro Jel Cleanser for Blemish-Prone Skin. It's fragrance free, which is preferable because fragr...

I might try this myself. My skin is intolerant of all sorts of things, for one, I've discontinued benzoyl peroxide entirely, even a 5% concentration product, Oxy Maximum Action face wash "for sensitiv...

Would like to gather some opinions on hydroquinone, a skin lightener. I hear, though am no aware of the specifics, that it's a potential cancer-causing agent. I'm rather skeptical of that, does anyone...

Okay, that makes my skin look about as good as it can get on camera. Here's a couple more that are more accurate. I shaved, as I should have before, for one....

I have sensitive skin that itches a lot and becomes irritated easily. As a suggestion, I use aloe vera gel frequently, it's effective at soothing the burning, itching and what-not when need be, and ca...

I decided to upload straight from my phone. Here's my first picture. I took it with the rear camera cause it has more intricate settings than the front.

Alright, here goes nothing. Generic title, typical introduction: I'm a new user who discovered this site a rather long while ago, had a look around, picked up on some informative advice, but remained ...
