I actually read an article posted by a medical professor about how acne actually makes you look younger because of the regeneration of new skin( kind of like an unfortunate deep deep exfoliation). I l...

jojoba oil is one of the only essential oils I can slather on my skin and not risk a breakout. Interesting to see different results.

isn't the pie or pih club great? Yeah I'm in the same boat. I get PIE/PIH very easily and I used a sunscreen that people are expecting to be recalled because of the 3rd degree burns it produces and Im...

From my own experience. I've only ever had acne in my t zone. I started getting pimples in grade 9 and got them regularly in my t zone until I was 20. I'm now 22. I went to the derm when I was 17 beca...

Cetaphil brings a red colour to the edges of my face and nose, it makes me look awful. And Yeah, after I discovered tea tree oil 4 years ago I havent gone back to BP/or Saliyclic acid once.

I would say the opposite. Useless for acne and good for healed lesions and other skin areas.

My best advice. If you're only dealing with PIE or PIH. Ditch the lightening routine. I've come to terms that I will make my acne free skin worse if I start adding new things to change my tone.

same. My skin would look like a porcelain dolls if PIE or PIH didn't exist. I get 1 cyst a year and it always lasts 2 months and doesn't heal completely until a 1.5 year cycle of skin shedding. Becaus...

I don't have much experience with the cleanser department but I always see people posting topical salicylic acid is better than a wash. Just food for thought sorry I don't have any recommendations as ...

added: I also only clean my face twice a week with a clay mask that I do not let dry and a muslin cloth Apply jojoba oil mixture afterwards. I'm a male who does not wear make-up.

I'm going to hop off the cream and lotion train for a bit and use a spray mixed with aloe vera juice, jojoba oil, and rose water as a moisturizer. I'll let you know the results.

I found when I was starving and smoking my acne was at its clearest. I previously read that long term starvation reduces oil production. In a way your skin is shutting down as an organ, so it will ju...

you should videotape yourself and show us that might be a better way to fix it.

This one dude at my work right now has severe cystic acne. He's super confident,keeps getting promoted and has girls chasing him . I imagine people would treat him the same if he didn't have acne.

No.... The science shows a correlation. This isn't a proof it is only a research method.

Same weird reaction here. My eyes felt like I was having an allergic reaction and I started forming acne that I usually wouldn't. Literally my left eye felt like it had animal hair in it all the tim...

Used coconut oil for 3 months with great improvement and even told my friends to start using it. Skin started getting itchy around month 4 and started forming cysts.

Wait?... You're going to cite a source that doesn't even cite itself and the author uses the terms "I believe". Well Hitler believed a lot of things too. I find it extremely comical that acneeinstei...

This thread literally makes me want to vomit on my keyboard. What if passing on the gene is .01%? Do you have scientific evidence that acne is hereditary and not just a coincidence when seen as such? ...

Lucky. I breakout from coconut oil and I get dermatitis from using vitamin E

forget the makeup and hair thing but yup.
