vituperative

I saw you post several times yesterday! I can't stress this enough (in the nicest way!) you need to relax. Honestly. What you are experiencing is a side effect of Roaccutane. Many people go pink/red a...

4 months ago I picked a giant cyst between my eyebrows to the point that the skin ripped off. I had a scab for weeks and weeks. Everytime I made a surprised face or moved my eyebrows the scab cracked ...

I'm the same with make up! The only people who have seen me make up free is my mum and grandma. No else is allowed to! lol. My embarrassing moment was, when I was going through a really bad break out ...

Firstly, I am sending you a big virtual hug! I can completely sympathize with you. I started getting acne at 11 and I am now 26. I have had severe acne.   Ok, so you said you were taking Doxycycl...

I haven't used a cover stick since about 2003 when Blackmores decided to discontinue their acne cover stick. Basically what I did back then was "draw" over my acne with the cover stick and then wait a...

I get this "caked on" look too and have just accepted the fact that it happens due to my huge pores and deep scars. No matter how oily/moisturised/exfoliated my skin is, that gross look will keep on h...

Hey guys, just thought I'd share this thing that's been helping me with dry skin. Sometimes when I use too much harsh cleansers/scrubs/acne gels on my face I still have breakouts but then get really ...

Have you tried Proactiv at all? I think Proactiv can be harsh if followed to the letter, so maybe just wash your face at night time with Step 1: Cleanse for a while and see if that helps. Also, if you...

Are you using any kind of lip balm? I know some men who use chapstick before bed and they got acne break outs around the mouth because it smudges when they sleep.

I know how you feel, like I really do. About a year ago I made the worst mistake I could have made, got on birth control. I never thought twice, so I took them, not being prepared for the breakout I w...

Yeah..I hear ya..like I was saying, this is a good week. Still, my camera doesn't seem to want to grab the redness that is there, which would be a great thing, other than when I'm trying to take a pic...

Honestly, I would kill for this skin! Even after 8 months of Roaccutane, Doryx and a firm, tough skin regimen my skin does not look this good.

I'm the same with make up! The only people who have seen me make up free is my mum and grandma. No else is allowed to! lol.   My embarrassing moment was, when I was going through a really bad br...

It's funny how acne scarring is something I HATE about myself. I can't stand it and it's all I see when I look in the mirror but when it comes to other people with scars, I don't mind it. In fact, som...

Hi all.   I started getting acne at 11 and am now 26. Between 16 and 23 I lived virtually acne free because of an 8 month course of Roaccutane. I had an occasional zit or maybe a big one that wa...

Looks cool. I live in Australia and no retailer in my state carries the product unfortunately. May be something I need to search ebay/online for. Thanks for the tip!

Expensive doesn't always mean better. I paid $70 for a tube of Clinique liquid foundation for acne and it turned really orange on my skin and it never fully dried on my skin. By the end of the day I w...

I have to agree with nicmic62 and say Revlon Colorstay combination/oily skin is really good. I've been using it for almost 2 years now and it doesn't cause my to break out at all. Another good brand i...

That does seem like a really high dose to me, considering the level of acne you have and your weight. Have you expressed your concern to your dermatologist about this? I wouldn't normally recommend go...

Hello. I'm a girl so unfortunately I can't answer the shaving question but I'll give you my experience with the other two.   I have had many stages of acne, ranging from severe to mild. I would ...

I think it's very mixed. I do feel judged when I have extremely bad break outs but at the same time, I've always had dudes try to hit on me despite that. I have extremely bad scarring and a lot of red...

I've been using make up on my acne since I was 15. I am now 26 and have tried so many products. I don't know about you but powder makes my acne worse for some reason, although others swear by it. I wo...

Maybelline do a good BB cream. I'm superrrrr pale in real life and it was a tad darker than my skin but I used the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream because it's oil free. It's never clogged my pores or...

I feel the same way, too! I started getting acne at age 11 and by 14 I had a severe case of cystic acne that has left me with deep, giant scars all over my face and I am 26 now. I did an 8 months cour...

Don't be embarrassed! I know it's easier said than done but don't let something like this ruin chances to have fun and enjoy life! I dated a guy who had scarring like you on his back and chest (even w...
