In my experience, no. And I was very VERY diligent and mindful with my dairy-free diet. I even went gluten-free and that did nothing to improve my acne. I know the saying 'you are what you eat' holds ...

My acne is less cystic and more pore-clogging. What I use that has helped me the most is a 2% salicylic acid (aka BHA) as a liquid topical. As far as cleansers go, I couldn't say honestly. Cleansers a...

For years I used Maybelline's Purestay powder-foundation. I absolutely loved it but I think it exacerbated my acne as well. I no longer trust the labels 'non-comedogenic' because I researched what tha...

I don't typically wear foundation, but if I did, I would start with this one: Stay Matte Liquid Mousse. I hope you find the review helpful. It is a very affordable product and I have seen videos of wo...

Yeah, that might be the culprit. What kind of shampoo did you get this time? I would try to go for something that has the least amount of ingredients just so that you can rule out what might be causin...

Did you change shampoos and conditioners? Also, do you have bangs?

I don't think probiotics really do anything as far as filtering the sugar your body is digesting. Digestion starts in the mouth and it's a long process. I'm not even sure if I buy into the whole 'eat ...

I wouldn't recommend any type of scrub--and I know this is the first thing you want to do when you have so many clogged pores. You just want to get them out! Unfortunately, this type of acne takes tim...

Hello, all!   I wanted to 'bump' this thread, or rather update everyone on my skin status! Today, I visited my aesthetician, and I asked her for her professional opinion on using oils as a beaut...

My favorite is Origins Silkscreen powder. It's all I ever need to use Good luck in your search!

Hey all,   About two or three weeks ago I started a different holistic approach for controlling my acne-prone, oily skin. I stumbled across this article about hemp seed oil cleansing (and later ...

How is everything going with you? I've been using the lotion and it's been getting better. I switched my cleanser and I started to break out so I quickly switched back, big mistake lol. But it's not t...

Caffeine upsets my stomach too :s Even green tea which makes me sad. That's one of my favorite drinks!

I have been taking vitamin D (around 1600 - 2400 IU) with selenium zinc and vitamin a on and off for a couple of months now. I always find that if i stop taking them, my skin gets worse. But then agai...

I know this thread is sort of old but I don't want to make a new one when this one has so many great responses.   I just wanted to share my experience. I have been taking about 3,000 IU a day a...

I suffer from very oily skin too. What's working for me is (and I can't believe I think I found something because I've had really oily skin since I was 12. I'm now 28 anyway) vitamin D3. Obviously you...

Seeing good results now. I am not taking vitamin A every day since it is a fat soluble and resides in the body longer. There is no need for me to take it every day. With my regime, my skin is not very...

Hi all. You might've seen me dabbling in a few other threads. I had went to a dermatologist, she prescribed me Epiduo, and I had the craziest reaction that I am now scared to trust doctors anymore. So...

Good for you! I'm glad things are working out for you. I didn't like the gel/lotion either. It did make me look shiny. Liquid still gives a bit of shine but it's not that noticeable compared to the ot...

Went to a specialist about a month ago I guess to find out what type of scar I was experiencing, what could make it fade with patience and so on. When I arrived, after asking those questions it felt ...

I'm saying that I only used Epiduo ONCE and it has done so much damage to my skin.

I'm a pretty peaceful, tactful person. I drove 20 miles to see this dermatologist who had great reviews online--I have no idea why--and he was so terrible. His bedside manner was just atrocious. He wo...

It's been four days since I applied it (and the only time I applied it) and my skin is so irritated and red and flaky and swollen and painful. What do I do?

Thanks. I contacted my derm because there's no way I can truck through this kind of dryness and redness. I'm a smiley kind a person and I can't NOT show any emotion at work. I hope it chills out tomor...

I was prescribed this to get rid of the teeny tiny white heads that are trapped under my skin, but after I put it on (I followed the directions: used pea-sized amount, rub evenly) my skin turned brigh...
