I sometimes look at photographs of myself when I was 15 or so and feel silly. I only had one or two spots back then and I never even noticed them. All I did was wash my face with plain water. It was o...

Oranges do it for me. They cause body acne where there was non previously.

I had to rush out the door today with no time to do my hair or makeup or get all dressed up. I got hit on all evening. Really surprised and slightly confused since I don't get that much attention when...

I only have one active right now. It's a big red one right in the centre of my left cheek. I'm too scared to extract it incase it sets off the alarm and more show up to avenge it's death.

Small under the skin bump has formed. It's one of those annoying flesh coloured ones that takes it's time to go away too. On the plus side the big one on my temple is gone completely. Still dousing ev...

My skin is looking better today. Lots of PIH though. No scarring which I'm grateful for. Only a couple of actives left. Been hammering the 10% BP and using it twice a day: my skin isn't permanently re...

Been doing literally nothing but exfoliating and applying 10% BP. Most of the actives have cleared up. A big nasty one popped up on my left temple but it's covered by hair so that's not too bad. Cheek...

Face is clearing up pretty nicely now. There are a few stubborn spots that aren't ready to be on their way yet and one particularly angry, large demon popped up on my temple today.

I hope it calms down for you soon Lily. I think the stresses of Uni have a big part to play in creating acne; I'm in my final year now and it's made both my friends and I start breaking out again. I'm...

Skin is peeling at a rate of knots now. Seems to be taking some of the hyperpigmentation with it too which is nice. I just want it to be flat for my birthday then I can cover it with make up (it's my ...

Works very well for me, doesn't sink in as easily as say Clear Zit but over continued use it did clear up my mild acne.

Skin is continuing to heal from the breakout. Lots of flakes and dryness and still some active spots but not as bad as the last visual update. Easily covered with one layer of medium coverage foundati...

Exfoliated with just sugar and lemon juice paste today before reapplying the BP. Skin is looking reasonable but still not as clear as I'd like.

The NHS can be useless with mental health issues. I used to suffer from post traumatic stress and despite having what appeared to be a breakdown in the GP's office, explaining how suicidal and aggress...

Using BP to slowly bring this breakout under control. Not moisturising inbetween to get as much flaking and peeling going on as possible. Currently a bit clearer, cheeks are noticeably better.

This may surprise one or two of you who know how obsessed I am with diet normally but of late, due to being so depressed I`ve stopped caring for myself as much and I`ve been eating a lot more junk foo...

Been drinking a cup of peppermint and nettle tea (50/50) a day. I figure it'll lower my DHT by a little tiny bit. I've been using the BP again too but only as a temporary measure to clear this breakou...

I've started drinking a cup of peppermint and nettle tea a day. I figure that it won't reduce DHT by much, maybe just a little tiny bit. I've started on the BP again - a short term way of clearing up ...

I'm really glad things have worked out so well for you

Valerie, have you noticed any weight gain or loss of libido on Spiro? I was going to try some natural alternatives a while back but was worried less androgens would affect my figure and sex drive. Du...

Do you have milk and sugar? Milk can cause sensitivities in some people, sugar spikes insulin which affects your hormones. The caffeine in the tea could also be a cause of more breakouts. Try peppermi...

Visual update.

My skin looks terrible but my life is going much better. Roses and thorns I suppose.

Thanks. Interesting points: we'll have to agree to disagree on the smiling for a couple of reasons. Whilst not likely to happen at very first it's fairly easy to learn how to smile with the eyes. I ca...

My skin is doing pretty well, went through a rocky phase for awhile there but The Regimen continues to keep the vast majority of my acne at bay. Right now though I'm struggling with depression about ...
