I use Neutrogena in the spray can on my arms, lightly on my chest and back- even it can break me out. On my face, I only use foundation with SPF (L'oreal Visible Lift if normal-dry, L'oreal True Mat...

*URL Removed, see board rules; Acne.org Moderator Team* Giving this Ayurvedic Tumeric mask a shot- will review in Products forum if it helps

1. Attending a paramedical chemical peel training seminar, age 23, the training esthetician singled me out to examine my face under the ultra mag light lens. I had one juicy pimple about to burst tha...

Mine, as well!

Four hours of sleep and I could have slept longer. My skin looks 100% better than even last night, 200% improvement from the day prior. NO REDNESS, NO ACTIVE LESIONS, 90% healed scabs. This is the b...

Have you tried Digestive Enzymes as an alternative?

Body Shop Aloe Serum. Any of their serums, in fact, but that is the lightest and very affordable

Vitex never helped me.

I also loved that product! Clean & Clear's blackhead eraser certainly didn't compare (reminded me of Noxema, greasy film and all.) Olay Regenerist Detoxifying Pore Scrub is great, and comparab...

Acne bacteria grows reistent to BP, but not salicylic. Salicylic aids sloughing, BP only dries the skin, which can compound the issue.

Thanks for posting this. I was nine. Whenever "inner child" comes up, I remember a clear-skinned little girl who had stage fright but loved rehearsal, piano, dance, mermaids and manatees, reading, ...

I got my first fillers last month, in lateral cheeks and marionette lines (Juvaderm) with Botox. I started modestly and loved the swollen look, so I went back for more in the cheeks (Restylane) and a...

Four hours of sleep last night, the second four hours in all the sleep I've had in a week. Last night I used the Body Shop Pomegranate system again, no tea tree or vitamin C, and Body Shop Honey and ...

Your skin needs sebum to stay moist. Exfoliation, hydration, and nutrition will keep this sebum clean.

Your skin now is not what you'll have in years if you take good care of it, but the healing really depends on the maintenance of your overall all skin. Prevention is key. I still have shallow scars ...

Perioral dermatitis is the corner of the mouth, literally. It almost looks like a cold sore.

All acne is dead skin and hair and oil around a hair so in essence all acne is folliculitis (irritation of the follicle.) Folliculitis is typically seem in African Americans as their hair is more co...

What brand are you using? What percentage? Does it have SPF? Is AHA one of the first three ingredients? AHA, if you have thick/oily skin, can be used daily in place of a moisturizer. (Take care tha...

I'm curious as to why you hated Aldactone. Could you not make it through the initial breakout? My TCM derm just told me to stop taking as it can cause acne. I've been on it for 6 years and have only...

Your skin cell turnover rate is still very high at your age so your chances of recovering are good, but you mention that you already have boxcar scarring, so I'm going to go out on a limb and give som...

The reality of laser resurfacing down the road seems like a reality. Seeing all the old scars resurface with fat volume loss from age and stress on my chin makes me argh. Will I ever want my picture...

I saw two small new blemishes on either side of my chin. The picking triggered very bad feelings. Applied makeup to keep from picking. Ate vegan... Today, after a few hours of sleep, I called into wor...

I awoke this morning and the redness on the dry, rashy, old outbreak on my neck was gone! Scabs had formed which fell off easily showing much less deep holes there. (There are still several newer pap...

But there are no benefits in taking caffeine...

**Preface note from a month later. TCM works, but it is not a cheap, easy fix. The detox breakout sucks, and seems to go on for couple of weeks, but the herbs/acupuncture eliminate infection fast, bal...
