I agree regarding the link between nutrition and acne but for many it's not as simple as following X diet and getting Y results. To simplify healing acne as a formula is misleading. This is especiall...

I'll ask her next time. Epiduo contains a retinoids and benzoyl peroxide, But the retinoids don't kill the bacteria, they only exfoliate your face, so I need to substitute BP's effects with another le...

I'm glad you're finding something that works for you. Keep in mind though that having accutane in your system may skewer the results in terms of determining what is and has kept you clear. I agree t...

One diet does not work for everyone. You have to figure out what's best for your body by eliminating certain groups of foods & noticing how your body reacts. It'll take a long time to find out w...

My doc put me on epiduo. It dries quickly and it's not irritating. I use it once a day in the morning.   The problem is that when I start sweating at the gym while I'm running my skin gets a lit...

Yes, low GI diets are proven by many studies to reduce acne. Studies on diary have the same results. I don't know if meat is bad or not, even if it's grass-fed and organic, but once one starts elimina...

Hey Robertitoo, Don't you think you should treat the acne first and then continue with the scar treatment? I'm asking because that's what doctors usually recommend and puncturing the skin with needl...

Last dr. Appointment regarding accutane is approaching. I wonder what she'll prescribe me for maintenance. Any suggestions?   I was going to ask for duac and Differin.

Tanning has uv Rays so it helps, but at the cost of wrinkles and potentially melanoma...

Hey there, Seems like they're just pigmented spots and not actual scars, so the regimen should help (the AHA product is especially helpful). You have to give it a try for at least 2-3 months to noti...

I'm on a vegan diet with the majority of food being raw. I also eat gluten free, organic, and take daily vitamins... My skin has never been clearer, but I also completed a 11 month course on accutane...

Uv rays

I got 2 affordable self tanning gels, one of which is waterproof.   Quick update on my vegan diet... It's been a long journey until I got to the point of eating mostly uncooked organic "clean",...

TANNING. I am probably one of the palest people in my town right now and I'm not even Irish. Accutane has made me very cautious of the sun, so I am rarely if ever exposed and when that happens I hav...

Robertitoo, Seems like you keep doing a lot of maintenance through dermastamp and peels. I'm worried that the protocol requires a lot of downtime- it's not as easy as 1 subcision with a week of bruis...

I got more Accutane from my last appointment! I am going to go over the max range limit by a little bit, but they said it's OK because I was a more serious case. I'm so pleased that I'm getting all ...

Hi ToTheMoonAndBack, Looking at your Accutane log your skin is VERY similar to mine. Does the doc only think subcision will work and not any other treatments? Is there any possible complications to...

I completed my Accutane treatment and now I am supposed to wait 6 months-1 year before I proceed with the scar treatments. My doctor who will perform the subcision told me that 6 months would be enou...

      I've been a vegan for a while, and at one point cut gluten from my diet too but eventually ended up adding it back in. Being vegan definitely helped my acne but cutting out g...

If you're going to have a little it's OK, but if you are going to drink for the effect of being drunk then you'll have the worst hangover in your life that will last twice as long as usual.

Hey! Just wishing you a happy and easy journey

I'm pretty much done with Accutane and now Im focusing on maintaining a vegan and gluten-free diet along with regular exercise, vitamins, enough sleep and having a more optimistic outlook on life in g...

Thats amazing! The sacrifices that come with the diet then are totally worth it.

I've been a vegan for a while, and at one point cut gluten from my diet too but eventually ended up adding it back in. Being vegan definitely helped my acne but cutting out gluten didn't really do any...

Thanks for the reply. It's a very restrictive diet leaving one without outside-the-house options, but it's doable. Anyone else?
