banban replied to jddahl19's topic in Prescription acne medications
Hahah chill they wont be looking for it I went on accutane ages ago and they did diddly squat to me no tests no nothing (im in aus btw) -
23 and still dealing with acne- What kind of acne is this??
banban replied to ecarg93's topic in General acne discussion
Yeah go to the derm i js got my referral today literally js told th doctor what to do. No mucking around i got so annoyed because i wanted a referral ages ago!! -
Hi there looking for a primer that wont break me out. Avoiding all those pore minimising primers cause they break me out like crazyyy. I tried that loreal blurring one and peter thomas roth mattifying one and I could literally feel the pimple being made. I went to a wedding and half way through my face itched and lo and behold there was a massive pimple. Now im scared of those primers

For a guy i reckon try a bb cream itll help tone your overall face. The coverage wont be great but it will make it less noticable without it looking unnatural

Yeah thats what thyre called! They are annoying but atleast thyre not inflamed so you know its not infected

I think thyre clogged pores that have closed up. Yes they are stubborn as shit (from experience). Maybe some acids may work? Glycolic salycilic etc

Yeah it depends on the doctor but you have to make your case. Im in Australia and the dermatologist i went to gave me accutane straight away (this was a while back) plus i made the mistake of not taking the full course (dont do that) . My acne is back so now im gonna go back to the derm and figure something out

Pretty without acne***1 YEAR UPDATE***
banban replied to Boohoobaby's topic in General acne discussion
I completely understand how you feel. I hate waking up everyday and looking in the mirror to find new breakouts just when others have just healed. One thing that helps me is that when i go out in public i never notice anyone with acne but one time i actually looked closely at the people i went past and interacted with and guess what their skin had imperfections too! It helps to realise no one is looking at you THAT closely and that gives me comfort. You cant let acne coop you up (something i nee -
I went on yasmin once it didn't suit me and didnt even do anything for the acne. If you find it doesnt work in another couple of months dont waste your time and go back to the doctors

I really feel for you, i hope you are alright. See the dermatologist asap and in the mean time just breathe and avoid looking in the mirror. I know when i stare into the mirror too long i start to stress and feel anxious. Stressing out will just do more harm than good.

Have you already noticed some changes in your skin? I'm considering saw palmetto as well. honestly its still early days my face has js recently settled down from my last outburst which lasted a month, at the moment everything seems to be flat at least but i wouldn't say it's the saw palmetto maybe my hormones are settling. Still waiting on my period atm my cycles are like 40 to 50 days -
Is my regimen healthy?
banban replied to Swiftwoof's topic in Over-the-counter acne medications and products
its water that has molecules in it that attracts dirt and oil its different from a toner or makeup remover but can be used as either! Its great for me cause im lazy (cant be bothered buying multiple products) you should try it thyre pretty cheap to buy -
DIM/Estroblock
banban replied to ChillySunny's topic in Over-the-counter acne medications and products
the pill made me chubby and slow. Did absolutely nothing for acne and was still oily as ever. Plus after having my first child i don't wanna go through that process again of going off it and then the hormones go crazy etc etc its such a hassle. Ive tried diane and yasmin i think estelle or something too.. i forgot what theyre called bt yeah never felt right. Now at least im lighter bt sucks i gotta deal with the acne -
