Jawline and body acne sounds hormonal- I don't know when you quit the Pill. You can ask your doc about Spiranolactone. Really making sure you wash your back after you rinse your hair conditioner is...

my text is rly supereasy to read, i dnt write in hyerogliphs It is. We're the ones reading, we should know. It takes a lot longer to read than if you wrote in plain English like the rest of us and...

Those were the foods my TCM doc restricted me from, too. I saw a movie about Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome called SAFE starring Julianne Moore. I feel like my issues with food and topical...

Uh, yeah I think you are oversimplify it. Do you have deep acne scars? A moderate to deep TCA-based peel series from a medical spa- one in which there is an MD or board certified cosmetic surgeon...

I think that's exactly why they don't take it seriously. It's a non life threatening medical condition that generates billions of dollars in prescriptions, cosmetics, over the counter products, facial...

You talk like you look like freddy krueger but the pics you post have human skin in them relax and your skin will improve. acne doesn't pay rent to live on your face, don't let it move into your bra...

Have you tried Proactiv? I don't remember getting any kind of breakout starting that- any of the times I started it! Pretty dependable stuff, in my personal experiences and my best friend's. Long t...

I think it could be psychosomatic, like a lot of treatments (possibly even mine.) You feel like it's going to work, this makes you feel good, which triggers a flood of good hormones and a reduction o...

I'm so happy that you found yourself and liked what you found- it feels like I'm there, tho I have some dysmorphia to push through. I am a believer now in the adult acne = lifetime of ignorant eati...

Giving up on your face and saying, f-ck it, my face looks like the surface of an alien planet, is certainly a choice some people have made, and some others talk about. I don't think that's ok. That...

I feel for you. The rebounds get more and more frustrating. Cetaphil, for the record, has done awful things to some people's skin, including mine (read the reviews of it here on the Products part of...

A moderate to deep TCA-based peel series from a medical spa- one in which there is an MD or board certified cosmetic surgeon overseeing, I'd say. 3-4 with 25% improvement each time. Or laser, same...

yep, hydroquinone is for brown spots.   what works for one person won't work for another, and if there was a cheap guaranteed fix, none of us would be here.   Get your parents to order your ...

Still going after red marks and a few shallow scars (grr) with lactic acid, glycolic acid, vitamin A and vitamin C and High Frequency.

Also, birth control pills, if it's truly hormonal , will take care of it.   So will Spiranolactone , a dermatologist can prescribe .   But even if you get one or both, acne can still re...

I find that more natural products work better on my skin compared to other things. BP doesn't do anything besides drying out my skin. Salicylic acid hasn't helped either. I also started to think dairy...

Even black coffee is dehydrating and activates adrenal action, a recipe for dry skin + oily pores = acne.   If you found the beach therapy helped, try taking a mermaid bath: sea salt and kelp pow...

Thanks for the advice and tips ZhenZhu . I'll keep that in mind next time I apply my makeup. I use Maybelline BB cream but I think the undertone is wrong for my skin type. Any recommendations of found...

Hyaluronic Acid is the only other moisture I'd recommend for your sensitive skin, or an Aloe serum (Body Shope, not pure aloe,) or a serum with hyaluronic acid. I have NEVER been able to use a moistur...

I'm sorry that people are so rude.   With acne, less really is more. Makeup is a necessary evil for women it seems, but it does make our acne worse.   Protect your skin with Body Shop Aloe s...

a stable income, being able to give of myself and be fully present in my relationship, a real social life, lots of $ I could have used to travel, even get a house... basically all the memories you can...

Good topic- I think there is a shaving subforum somewhere here with more info.   I shave a few little hairs on my chin daily that are slightly more coarse than the rest of my face hair, which is...

How does this product compare to the Panoxyl 5% and 10% BPO cleansing bars, I wonder?   When I had greasy red papules, it really responded well to Panoxyl- til the dry skin.   Your skin defi...

Listen to your skin. If it's oily and that moisture feels heavy, skip it til you need it.   If you're using BP, you'll need a moisturizer. Acne skin does need to be hydrated to heal - natural seb...

Between 40-70 for functional health.     I'm shooting for 100 and have ZERO acne right now. I'm taking 20,000 IU a day and I was only >10 (still deficient, but 3x less than you are.)
