Are you sure it's not due to a change in water?. That water you're currently using may be harder, or less 'agreeable' with you skin, than the water your previously washed with.

My mum outgrew acne at 20..

I'm genuinely sorry you had your dreams crushed like that, especially with such a promising start. If you don't mind sharing, I would also like to hear the rest of your story.

This section of the forum is absolutely sad. We need to start thinking differently. I agree. The argument "You could have only one leg!" doesn't seem to work. But let's start off with that. Livin...

I left/got kicked out of three colleges because of my acne. If I could go back in time, I'd slap the fuck out of myself and say "The hell's wrong with you?!". I know having visible acne when you have ...

Milk chocolate or dark chocolate with high percentage of cacao ? Cutting out all chocolate.... >>Real chocolate, or the fake stuff you buy in the shops? All chocolate, and whats the real ...

Real chocolate, or the fake stuff you buy in the shops?

I understand this problem very well. It's an issue that stems from poor self-esteem, in this case, induced by acne. It's not that our acne bother others, but more that we're projecting our own disappr...

That looks deep. PIH is more difficult to treat in darker folks because we're excluded from a fair few of the treatment options. I'd say your best bet would be to see a derm and ask about a laser trea...

This is one of the main reasons I stayed away from Accutane. My hair is also my pride and joy and I didn't want to sacrifice that for the possibility that my acne ould be cured forever. I've heard abo...

I'm a serious weight-lifter and tried keto for a week (back when my acne as a pain in the a**). It was fun spamming meat, oil and other high fat foods. My acne cleared, as well as the majority of my o...

In the words of Spongebob: For my teen years, acne has "SOILED IT!" Haha, this made my day.

Yes.

Be very careful. BP left me with marks/a tan that refused to fade until I performed chemical peels (That's 8 years I had it for). It was like a deep tan that caused my face to become a different colou...

If your skin can tolerate it, perform a TCA peel. I'd bet my mother and her cat that, that would give you the skin you had pre-acne, in about 6 months. I've read such amazing things about TCA peels....

I am a 33yo woman who has been battling acne since the age of 11. Over the last year, it's reared it's ugly head again. I tend to get it under my chin and down the sides of my neck. I am in mid break ...

Quality of air/water

I throw around some weights and then follow that up with some green tea. It's like the perfect combination for me, because I can yell (a lot) during training which helps with frustration and the green...

I'm thinking it's the air, or the water that's differing. That's my only logical conclusion *shrugs*

I had hyperpigmentation that remained on my skin or 6+ years and no one could tell me how to get rid of it either (I am Caribbean with brown skin). I'd look into getting deep TCA peels from a doctor, ...

Yep, Retin-a did that to me. I NEVER had the type of skin that scarred, despite going through severe cystic and nodular acne. My derm prescribes me Retin-a and all of a sudden, I'm spontaneously devel...

This is what I've been saying. We frequent a board, saturated with sufferers with similar issues, there's an understanding between us. Great. NOW explore the internet (It's not even exploration, becau...
