Three weeks of clindamycin, about a week and ~2 days of Retin-A. I'm using clindamycin phosphate 1% in the morning, with some light moisturization afterward, and Retin-A 0.025% before bed. I find t...

It's been two weeks of clindamycin. I've started slowly incorporating the Retin-A into my regimen. Currently I have a couple of active pustules. The majority are older ones that are on their way ou...

One week of using clindamycin phosphate so far, 2x a day (morning and night), and I like what I'm seeing. I've only had a few new pimples come up since last week. Some have gotten moderately inflam...

So I'm going to resurrect this thread because two years later, I'm still dealing with this. I stopped doxy at some point in late 2017 / early 2018, because it was giving me symptoms like excess water ...

Well, things are a little more controlled, I have maybe 4-5 painful active pustules, and the others are, for the most part, receding. They're still raised lumps, but they are on their way out rather t...

Well, half a year later, I'm worse off than when I started this thread - but at least I've discovered several things that don't work for my acne, which is nice. Seems like most supplements that are tr...

Well, I'm back on doxy. I've tried weaning off of zinc, with a tablet here and there. Haven't really taken any for the past week, and my acne is really out of control right now. I have about 10 big, p...

I've upped my zinc intake again, and painful pimples have swelled up near my mouth / chin again. Headaches came back too. Definitely a correlation there. Need to stop zinc for reals!

Been trucking along. I haven't been taking crazy amounts of zinc, but haven't cut it out completely either. My libido has dropped off, but my acne is now nowhere near as extreme as it was just a week ...

Small update. Zinc has been okay. The aforementioned benefits have not abated. Unfortunately, I've been noticing that I get headaches and serious brain fog / spaced out / detached feeling. I've been g...

So I've been taking zinc picolinate, 100mg a day for 2-3 weeks now. I've skipped a couple days here and there because the 100mg dosage is pretty high. I've also been experimenting with using the Regim...

Hi all, Was wondering if there were any guys out there who had experience with taking zinc. I've recently started taking it and it's been giving me crazy painful pustules near my mouth and on my jawli...

So I am going to write off Vitamin A as a failed experiment. I only used it on and off for about three weeks, but through those three weeks, I've been feeling sluggish, depressed, had low libido, and ...

When I took probiotic capsules, I had an INSANE breakout, mostly around my mouth. It was basically a swarm of large, painful, pus-filled cysts. It hurt to move my mouth even in the slightest. That was...

Trucking along. Been super-oily by the end of the day. I've added moisturizer back into my regimen because I've realized, even though I get oily with or without moisturizer, I'm definitely not doing m...

So the salicylic acid experiment didn't go too well. I used a SA-based face wash and a moisturizer with 0.5% SA (Clean&Clear). On the one hand, it didn't make me break out too much (although a cou...

Trucking along. Acne is somewhat controlled at the moment, but my skin has been mega-oily. I tried taking Vitamins A and D3 for oiliness, but I think I'll end up having to ditch them (again) because I...

So I got a couple of painful pustules over the weekend. Not so fun. Gonna calm down with the BP even more and see what happens.
