I'm on a birth control called Reclipsen, so not quite the same, but here is my guess if you're just finishing your first pack your body is probably still adjusting to it. Your skin could be clearing ...

Glad you got it figured out. Good luck!

Hey Fuzzybear, I'm not an expert but I do know this: people say that when you use retinoids/retinol or really anything that chemically exfoliates your skin (including salicylic acid), you may go thr...

If you want something sweet but want to maintain your vegan/gluten-free diet, I have a recipe for you. I have seen links to outside websites deleted before by mods so I think it would be best if I to...

Good to hear. I saw that thread just now and I'm curious as to why it may work. Maybe I'll give it a go.

Hey stash, glad to hear everything is still working well. Everything's working pretty well for me, also. It's pretty awesome to just not worry about it, don't you think?

Awe I'm sorry, that's a bummer. Unfortunately I don't have anything else to offer besides personal experience. But good luck!

Yes, I feel like it helped with redness a little although it had not been making my face that red to begin with. :/ Since you mentioned you're experimenting with moisturizers, you could always try a m...

Well it's up to you! Everyone's skin is different, but I can tell you that in my experience, the one or two pimples tiny that I experienced after cutting down were worth the convenience of only applyi...

I think it should be fine since you are probably well past the adjustment period by now I read on the internet (nothing scientific, just an Q and A on some beauty website) that once your skin adjusts...

water-only regimen?   Yes, you wash your face with water only and quit topicals. The idea if that by doing this, you allow your skin to heal itself instead of damaging it with BP, etc. It does ...

I have noticed this about myself, too! Unfortunately I can't give you a straight answer because I have no idea whether this is just a coincidence or not. The combination of birth control and the water...

A lot of people seem to have this reaction, including myself. If you look at the acne.org reviews of Cetaphil moisturizing cream, a lot of them complain about a burning sensation. I even experienced t...

Thanks for the tip fadejay. So I just completed week 1. I had an initial breakout after 3 days or so. Nothing big, no cysts, maybe like 3 or 4 pimples. and keep in mind I was quitting cold turkey f...

I have no experience with accutane but I just want you to know that I've read your post and I feel for you! No one should have to deal with that pain. When I was about 16 my acne got worse also (18 no...

Thanks! That sounds like a great idea. The water here is really hard and I've noticed it seems to dry my face out so I'll give that a shot also.

Thanks for the updates, Stash. I'm on day 5 here and while I have gotten a couple of new pimples, my skin has healed pretty well from where I picked at it before I started the water-only. :/ Pretty ...

Hi everyone. I'm new here and pretty much just made an account so I could post in this thread haha. I too am about to start water only. I'd say my acne is somewhere between mild and moderate (usuall...
