BYE my face is clear and pure

i used to have moderate acne when i was younger
i wanted to try accutane but the side effects were too much
i use benzol now and it works - little drying but it works

**** all those clean and clear, nuetrogena mess

I use proactiv deep cleansing wash on my face then I follow up with rezamid (only at night) and in the mornings I replace rezamid with cetaphil oil control moisturizer

Lucky that stuff made my skin worse!

And you're right about those "clean and clear" products. What a joke.

^ All you would ever need.

Cause you probably used the harsh 10% solution or went in very hard.

you know what fxck that shxt

I had bad acne a couple of months back. My skin is really nice now and yes some of those meds work but only temporarily. The food you eat is the most vital part of your skin.

I was on Iso for 6 months back in 2008 I think. It was ok. No acne since then.

I used to have acne on my back, it was really bad and it made me pretty insecure, especially when I wanted to go swimming in the summer... I got some meds though and now it's gone!

Probably. I think it was 3% or something, but I went back to my GP and he gave me the SAME STUFF so I booked an appointment with the dermatology clinic instead

Is that true for everyone though? I read that it was a myth

To be really honest my experience with acne was that I had it for years and tried heaps of products and nothing worked but after numerous years of terrible, terrible it only got better once I started eating healthier and drinking more water. Dx Honestly the things I put on my face, mashed banana, wheatgerm, strawberries, toothpaste etc. you name it, I did it.

Slay meds, slay

I'm in my fifth month of accutane and it does work pretty well. But I'm literally scrambling for chapstick right this second bc my lips are hard as a rock.

I have a Nivea chapstick literally within less than an arms reach from me right now

How old are you? It tends to clear towards adulthood if you wash your face at least twice daily and change your pillow case every week.

I've never had a problem with acne aside from the occasional zit during puberty.

My secret? I wash my face.

I'm 18 in a month. And I think that those help blackheads, not spots. Aren't spots caused by a build up of sebum deep in the skin?

Do NOT use chapsticks, I'm serious they make your lips even dryer cuz you lick them and your lips stop doing the work cuz you do it for them.. it's okay to use it a day or something and don't apply to thick.. then you HAVE to stop so your lips can take over the work again... what helps is using your toothbrush to brush your lips and remove the dead skin

Think about it, the companies making them make more money if they prevent your lips from doing the work, so you will need to keep applying and buying their product, it's not a joke
