The Alpha Hydrox brand works great for me. I've been using it for about two months and it speeds up the healing process of my zits and post-acne marks. I use it every night without a moisturizer becau...

Thank you Ibiza, I enjoyed the article. It made me laugh out loud to hear acne being spoken about in such a light-hearted, casual manner. The bullet points on the positive effects of acne reflect ever...

veiledxbeauty, you asked how this became a question of God's existence or not. Did you read the posts in a chronological order? If so then you know the answer, if you were too lazy then here is the br...

How did this become a question of God's existence, or lack thereof? Acne is human just as suffering is human. Do we really need an atheist to map this out for us, or a Christian to testify to the God ...

Don't pop it. I know the temptation is hard to resist, but just like a splinter is pushed from your body when it's ready to come out, so a cyst is pushed out and healed up all by itself, naturally. I ...

Heres the thing. I have these big nasty cystic acne but its always in a few areas of my face. Thing is i dont have it all over my face. Like for example, if you look at me, you would say i have som...

Hello fellow embarrassed girl, I just wanted to let you know that you have been lied to your whole life. Yes, lied to; popular media, health and beauty ad's, people's expectation's, society, etc. Beau...

Hello there. I'd like to recommend Olay Foaming Face Wash for Sensitive Skin. I've been using it for a week to replace my old CeraVe Hydrating cleanser (wasn't taking my make-up off well enough) and i...

This sounds very much like me. I'm a long-time picker as well and a food junkie, but it only affects my skin. And you're totally right; water is a god-send! I think cutting corners with products is ve...

Hello Emily22! I'm just fishing here, but my breakouts worsen during my menstrual cycle as well and it did worsen when I hit my twenties. Your hormones are constantly fluctuating as you age, and this ...

Hello g14! Well, it looks like you have both marks left by acne and active lesions. I would treat the active over the inactive to prevent further damage and possible scarring. I know it's really hard ...

Those pictures don't look 100% accurate (different positions and lighting), but results like that are attainable via lasers (70% total improvement) - after multiple treatments, with different treatmen...

Looks almost like the dude in the top pic got a tan to help blend the existing scars with his skintone and then somebody smudged the rest through program. I'm a little wary of laser treatments and th...

Welcome to acne.org Ezemuzu. You'll find lots of encouragement and incredible journeys on here. I wish you well in your endeavours.

Perhaps the Benzoyl Peroxide has sensitized your skin so much over the past couple of months that the particular formulation of spf irritates it? Have you used other brands since? And I like Aloe Vera...

I react in a similar way to certain foods high in caffeine, dairy, salt or sugar. I flush in the face after consuming too much of any of these, and sometimes get a few painful cysts; Though any number...

First of all, may I say how lovely your skin looks? It seems the Fraxel already worked its wonders. Well, I do know of one way to speed the healing process, and it seems you've mentioned it in your po...

Hello LacyDecay! I too suffer with Body Dysmorphic Disorder after a bout of abuse during my childhood, so I totally get where you're coming from. I started to obsess over my appearance at the age of 1...

I've been a recluse for a long time because of my acne. I know I shouldn't give a fu*k what people think and say, but I do. I have been "harassed" in the past by various age groups and personality typ...

Wow, this just goes to show that everyone's skin reacts differently to different methods of treatment. My skin could never tolerate such extreme heat (I have acne rosacea which breaks out into cysts a...

It lightened my skin while on it because it dried me out so bad I had to exfoliate every day or so. I haven't since used BP but I have started Lactic and glycolic peels. They work great for lightening...
