started the Aleve today. *crosses fingers* Good luck! I started it yesterday!

Does it have to be naproxen sodium (Aleve) or can it be ibuprofen---aren't they both NSAIDS? The research study only examined the effectiveness of Aleve. I'm not sure if the results would be the...

I have had great results with facials too - initially I was getting them every 2 wks, now that I am breaking out far less often, the facials are done about every 4-5 wks. It definitely helps keep you...

2nd month trying Aleve for PMS acne -- excellent results again. Think I'm on to something here! Do you start prior to PMS week or right when PMS week starts? I'm wondering if results would be be...

That is an interesting study. I read it and it seems methodologically sound, even given the smallish sample size. (I even noticed they did the appropriate statistical tests - I'm such a research gee...

Hi, I have been using taz for about a week and a half (I switched from RAM .04%)-so far it's seems less irritating for me then RAM. I will use it two nights in a row and then give a rest, which seems ...

I posted the results of a Tazorac study where they had success in treating acne by having subjects leave the taz on every night for 5 min or less. They indicated that the reduction in acne was simila...

second of all, whiteheads are not clogged pores, at least they're not clogged with anything from the outside: for some unknown reason natural sebum your skin produces is blocked inside and cannot come...

It might help a little, but my guess is that it won't do the job completely. Maybe that plus a salicylic, mandelic, or glycolic product?

It doesn't sound like milia to me. I don't think most people get those all over their cheeks. I think there is a lot of definitional confusion between "milia" "whiteheads", etc. I believe that mili...

My chin has been my problem area too - its really the only area that isn't totally clear for me now. Since it sounds like you are prone to developing some inflammed spots, if the derm does prescribe ...

It sounds like you have comedonal acne. Whitehead are small, closed comedones (blocked pores, basically). I don't think antibiotics will do much to get rid of these. The antibiotics will help with ...

thanks . do people who drink alcohole the only people who get them Hey, are you calling me a drunk? No - alcoholics aren't the only ones. People of european background with fair skin are ...

Spider veins are those little veins people get along their nose and cheeks (alcoholics get them really bad sometimes, as can people with rosecea). They are sometimes referred to as "broken capillari...

I remember reading the retinoid products are bad for people prone to spider veins. Can't recall exactly why though. Perhaps because it thins the outer layers of skin? Retinoid use can lead to skin t...

I have tried several different types of these. I found that the ones with mineral oil tend to break me out - they work great for absorbing oil though. I had a really hard time finding blotting shee...
