I have come to terms with my acne. My therapist has been helping me a lot. I am a talented, smart person, and I can be beautiful in many other ways. As long as I am confident, I am beautiful. And t...

Would it be safe to use kelo-cote gel (ingredients: polysiloxanes and silicon dioxide) while on accutane? Ask a doc. Plastic surgery is never the answer. See a therapist first. I'm not kidding. It r...

My derm started me on Retin-A Micro. I've been on it for six days, and it's basically already worked miracles on my skin. Derm told me that if I can stand it I can use it morning and night, which is ...

Face is clearer, skin is REALLY DRY AND BURNY. But the Retin-A is worth it.

I know what its like....I made my derm appointment in august and I got in a couple days ago.

I ended up getting the pump. I was wondering if one was easier to use (it can come in both) but he gave me the pump since it holds more and I also have back and chest acne. Also, I had a much worse br...

My third day with Retin-a. My face/chest/back are peely and moisturizer burns, but my CYSTIC acne is almost instantaneously getting better and no more oil slick! And I haven't even started the prescri...

I totally understand where you're coming from on the idea that there are totally contrasting reviews and ideas about acne everywhere. It's horrible and confusing. That's because acne is just a sympto...

Cool. (like I would know) Anything moisturizing with dimethicone (to protect your really sensitive skin). I like the plain aveeno kind that has dimenthicone in it. Try using organic honey that's be...

is there a difference?

Went to the dermatologist for the first time today He prescribed Oracea, which is an oral antimicrobial which wont kill my delicate digestive flora and which should help with the inflamation and infe...

A lot of time you need a lot less moisturizer than you think. If you want to make it last longer mix it with a little aloe in the palm of your hand before you put it on.

Clarisonic brushes--BAD FOR ACNE. NO NO NO. Scrubbing, believe it or not, can just push the infection around the other parts of your face. Not worth the money. If you need to scrub, try getting a litt...

Oh, and the generic hibiclens is actually called Walgreen Anti*septic* Skin Cleanser. Whoops.

Try to schedule the appointment around your period and you'll be fine

Within a couple weeks, though for everyone it varies. I use the generic version from walgreens, called Antiseptic Skin Cleaser, that has the same ingredients but is less expensive and does not contain...

Np Firstly, yes and no. I find that this moisturizer keeps my skin moisturized without clogging the pores or making my face like an oil slick, and this helps the lesions to heal faster because it re...

That stuff is awesome. Ive used it foe two weeks now and my skin is already fifty percent clearer. Seriously try it Also great if you have body acne and if you use ir under your arms you almost never...

Cool! And pretty much everything I've tried has caused an initial breakout.

Try drinking some strong chamomile tea about thirty minutes before bed. It will really help. Try and practice some deep breathing before bed as well, and maybe you could look into some bedtime yoga. I...

I have a very similar story to yours, except mine started in fourth grade on my nose. Warning, BP+clindamyacin can eventually stop working because your skin becomes resistant to the antibiotic. My re...

Buy some calamine lotion and put a thick dab on it (you may have to put some on it, wait for that to dry, and then put some more on top to get it thick enough) and leave it on for two hours, then wash...

I shall give it a try. What is your current product anyway?

I feel better. Not good but better. The latest treatment I've been doing has helped me look slightly less like an ogre, which is good, but my acne is still pretty bad. No more giant painful cysts thou...
