From personal experience my friend....I'm 6', not dark, but I'd say pretty handsome, and my gf would agree. Imagine being in your shoes, but then going off to college, knowing NO ONE, and having acne,...

I've been just cleansing and moisturizing in the AM, and cleansing, moisturizing, and using either the proactiv clay or retin-a on the areas where I see spots starting/see spots there. I tend to use t...

updated photo. any improvements/thoughts?

I was horrible at looking at this and keeping up with it the past month over break. I can say the following: @starlite, I dont use any hair care products except a 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner from hea...

@onefatalgoose, I use shaving cream. I use sensitive skin gilette brand. I haven't switched to anything you've mentioned yet because these past couple weeks have been crunch time/finals week (this ...

I hope all of yall had a fantastic thanksgiving! @gingergirl22: could you post the link to the green gables post? I searched briefly but couldn't find it. For spot-treatment, I take a TEENY little ...

@gingergirl22, I started about 5 weeks ago, however, since about the time I started this thread, the baking soda (or something) dried out my chin really really badly to the point of me needing some fo...

@gingergirl, so I should just dilute the ACV even if it says on the bottle 5% by volume ACV? and just rinse my face with it? I feel like it would make my face too acidic if not balanced but its pH is ...

I used to think baking soda was great as an exfoliator, but after using it a while realized it was making things worse. It has a very high pH, just what the acne bacteria loves. You want to try to m...

I've been using the baking soda irregularly, like 3x a week, but I'm not sure how much it's helping. Which of the cleansers that you mentioned work the best/would be the least prone to breakouts yet...

@Spotthedifference, I really appreciate your kind words and thoughtful insight. I accidentally meant to write baking soda into a paste rather than coconut oil. I hope you knew what I meant. Coconu...

I've been fighting acne for 4 years now. I started on Proactiv like everybody else, and it worked- for 9 months. Then my acne got progressively worse and worse. My derm put me on differin (did nothing...
