Cutting out junk food and turning 18.

I find skincare/moisturizing made me skin even worse.
I just cleaned up my diet and lost weight and now I only get the occasional one or two pimples.
>deep acne scars on left cheek
>right side is fine
JUST
>>36613280
Medication from my dermatologist.
>>36613280
alcohol free gentle skin wash, having less oily skin after puberty, drinking lots of water, eating clean, and not picking at my face
>>36613358
You can get that fixed. Not that bad of a procedure either.
Accutane. I've also found pretty much all facial products make me break out. I've only washed my face with water for years now. Any time I try to use any kind of soap or cream BAM acne
>>36613366
Are you talking about laser resurfacing?
Born again
i still have it and am 21
I developed really bad cystic acne when I was 17, it literally came from nowhere as before that I had crystal clear skin. I jumped on all sorts of meds, washes, antibiotics and none really worked.
Then one day I looked at the mirror and thought "F*ck it, i'm not letting this interfere with my life, i cannot be fucking assed"
Iliterally flipped out and went caveman (no washes, no skincare, meds anymore, all I did was a splash of water x1 a day in the shower.
It was gone in about 4 months.
Nothing really gets rid of it except time. Or Accutine, but I'd only do that if you're desperate. I'm mid 20s and still get the odd pimple, I have a benzoyl peroxide gel I use on it to dry the fucker out and works well if it gets bad, otherwise the best treatment I found was to leave it alone.
>>36613384
Yeah the laser one. The aesthetician I go to does it for people all the time.
never had it
>>36613416
Doesn't it take 2 weeks before you can go back outside?
>>36613420
shame about your virginity status though.
>>36613280
I grew up and stopped drinking 3 Dr. Peppers every day
>>36613429
>implying you ever go outside
>>36613429
I'm not sure really. I never had acne scars so I never went through the treatment. The laser they use is like this one. Looks pretty intense desu.

OK FAGGOTS, LISTEN UP
1) Get a bar of soap, organic, all natural, no dyes, no additive shit, no fragrance. They are only 3-5 dollars a bar and last a while
2) Warm water, absolutely NO scorching hot shit
3) Added bonus is you rinse off with super cold water or stick your face in ice water for 30 seconds
4) Kyoku Lava Mask 2 times a week
5) Vitamin C serum day and night
6) Benzol Peroxide no more than 5%. Find the one that works for you. Neutrogina on the spot works the best for me. Use at night, on ALL YOUR FACE
7) A good moisturizer. Aveeno with the oatmeal is the best
This will take care of your acne in a month tops

acutane
Ordered the generic Indian Accutane online, "Tretizen-20" was like $200 for 200 pills but I take one every three days - haven't had a zit in years. Face used to look like OPs face.

i alredy proved hundreds of thousands of people use it as an efoliant
Accutane
>>36613280
Low-dose acccutane
it's a miracle drug for acne
your mom
for real i lost my virginity and got a fulltime job and most of that shit went away
probably cause that forced me into a regular sleep routine and had lots of stress release from sex with gf
I take vitamin d and fish oil daily as well and at this point I get one every once in a while
>>36613516
>benzole peroxide
This.
Everyone else fuck off with your broscience.
Prescription for a retinoid (differin) cleared my face up & continues use took away my scarring. It's really good for all around skin health.
However, it's not nearly as effective on my body. Pretty much 0 effectives.
I'm 22 and still get wicked bad acne on my chest and back.
Any suggestions? Currently using a benzoyl peroxide wash one or two times per day and taking antibactierial tablets my derma gave me.
>>36613280
Wood filler.
>>36613631
You are pretty much a dipshit
Accutane is like the one thing you need a doctor supervision for. There's a reason they have you do lab work every three weeks when you are on it
>>36613915
Ditch the wash, all it does is dries out your skin. You need a cream or gel if you go the Benz peroxide route. Salicylic acid for a wash is ok tho
Lower the temp of your shower as well, hot dries out the skin

Clean pillow

don't eat junk food and wash your face everyday
for me whenever i had lots of coca cola i'd break out, went cold turkey on coke and have barely gotten a pimple since

>Then one of those St. Ives masks that are also a cleanser (rinse off)
>then apply a deep pore cleanser

>apply moisterizer to face moving your hands upwards as you do it
Do this every day… Top skin doctors recomend daily exfoliation so do NOT be fooled Muh once a week meme
A mixture of Cosrx, Benton, and Sulwhasoo products.
But mostly pills from my doc
Accutane was the only thing that got me results. I even had some acne-specific antibiotics before that.
Early adulthood, consistent exercise, clean diet, antibiotics, and tretinoin gel
I highly recommend the tretinoin gel for acne scars. Get that stuff from the derm. God bless America.
>>36613454
Yep, I'm definitely squeamish.

Take accutane. Why fuck around?
I'm taking Doxycycline at the moment, 70 days. I hope it stays away after ;_;
>>36613280
I had sever cystic acne. 6 excruciating months of acutane cured it though. Only thing that ever worked, and I tried A LOT of other things. The dermatologist I went to made me try everything else she could do before it because acutane can possibly be dangerous. Was totally worth it though.
>All this misinformation
Fucking hell. There are different types of acne, changing your diet and face cream isn't gonna do shit if you have anything other than vulgaris.
OP is you're over 22 and still have it go to a dermatologist. I'm 29 and got a horrible flare-up and bleeding skin and it turned out it was rosacea. No change in diet is gonna fix something like that alone, you'd need antibiotics.
Age
>>36613415
this
Acne from 14-17. Whenever I'd go on meds, facewashes or other shit it just got worse.
Nowadays, I'm quite happy i had it, since i had to accept my appearence for what it was which in turn made me a more confident human being.
tl;dr everybody should have acne
Idk it just kind of went away and I never really noticed it anymore.
>buy this shit
>mix with water to form paste
>rinse face
>rub paste into face
>leave for 2 - 5 mins
>rinse off
>use cleanser or whatever
>do this as you wake up and before you sleep
>acne gone in two weeks
Also use a clean pillow case every night you grimey fuck
I tried wveything listed here an de only thin gthat wokred for me was charcoal soap
Nothing. Fuck me, I want a clear face so bad.
Literally avoid and consciously remind myself not to touch my face with my hands is what cured it
>>36613280
Nothing gets rid of it. It will get better with age. Got it when I was 13 and I still occasionally get spots at 30.
Accutane does work for extreme acne but it will leave you with premature aging, bad joints and the list goes on an on
Retin-A (Tretinoin). Nothing beats this cream. Good for acne, scars, wrinkles, etc. You can make it part of your skin routine, I highly recommend it.

> aesthetician
that is an awesome name for a profession.
>>36613280
>>36613280
the most success i've ever had was i did the following
>Mornings: warm showers, rinse with cold at end for as long as possible
>Night: Wash face with warm water, rinse with cold. Pat face dry with clean face towel. 10min after 5% BP. change pillow case everynight.
Face was basically spotless, but i did it everyday, and my lifestyle at college compared to home is alot worse in almost every aspect when it comes to what you'd consider a "healthy lifestyle"
>>36613280
to a small extent diet and drinking less. quitting smoking made the world of a difference
>>36613280
Accutane. I spent ages 15-22 thinking "it will probably clear up on its own soon" and doing every stupid old wives treatment I found. I also got two courses of some Tetracycline based pills and some Benzoyl Peroxide gel. Accutane was the only thing that made a difference. My skin is still not perfect, it's still a bit red and I get some red spots, but I never get cystic acne or pimples any more. My back, chest and shoulders have been clear ever since too. I have awful skin genetics though, both my siblings needed Accutane too.
It's nice being able to shave your awful facial hair whenever you want because you no longer have pimples and cysts in the way.
>>36613280
Replacing you pillow sheets and not resting your hand on your face. As for shoulders and back, it's drying it as soon as you step out of the bath.
saying goodbye to dairy
it was the only thing that was causing it. a week later acne was gone
>>36615611
would that include whey protein?
>>36613280
accutane/roaccutane
stop crying and go get a prescription you massive faggot
>>36613280
Vitamin B5
>>36615619
in my case, as far as acne, milk is the worst and a glass of milk would be equal to 100g of cheese, or 200g of quark (dry, european kind) or 100g of whey. I don't know why but cottage cheese is an exception and I can eat as much of it as I want
accutane for the better part of a year
>>36615619
get some other form of protein isolate. not every piece comes from dairy.
but yeah, change your food
maybe its meat for you that is causing it. maybe wheat. experiment.
I just started drinking a normal amount of water and eating less saturated fat/salt lmao
>>36613280
Twice daily washing face with mild face wash, once a day using benzoyl peroxide, twice a day using moisturizer, here and there I put zinc oxide on my acne scars.
>>36613280
2 pills of roaccutane a day for about a year I think
>>36615750
my doc told me to have 8 pills a day lol
>>36615750
same here anon, only i started off taking 4 pills a day then slowly decreasing the amount. made me depressed as fuck, but i no longer generate any more acne.
>tfw still got acnescars on my back and chest
>>36615477
I really want to start since i've heard so much good about it. Im older now (22) and my skin has finally made it out of the teenage years, so im mostly cleared up, but i still get 1,2 pimples a week and have some acne scarring.
But im afraid of the "purge" phase, 1-3 months of cystnic acne sound horrible, i don't want to go back to my old skin when it's finally looking average
>>36613280
dont listen to these other faggits, its doxycyclin
i just walked to hospital and stole a syringe with the cure for cancer
been on accutane for nearly 5 months and still worse than when I started
>>36613280
dunno never had any

If you are anywhere in the Balkans try Acne out by biotrade (they are made in Bulgaria)
I know I sound like a shill since lotions and cremes aren't the usual advice you get here
Still it's the only thing to this day that helped me cure my face acne
Oh, and drink water
>>36614596
The thing about antibiotics is that after you stop the acne will come back stronger. It's terrible. Just go straight for accutane trust.
>>36613280

Not even joking: keto gave me the skin of a god. I don't even burn in the sun anymore (but I do tan).
>tfw terrible acne finally cleared up on its own at 20
Now if my seborrhoeic dermatitis could stop being a bitch I'd be set.

I'm pretty sure you'd burn if you were in the sun.

Accutane isn't used in my country anymore...
Any Accutane fags experience crazy mood swings? I went from animal to woman at the drop of a pin
Accutane.
Tried all the broscience and different topical treatments but only accutane smashed it and kept it away.
Broscience like:
>Change bedsheets often (or sleep with fresh towel over pillow every night)
>Drink tons of water
>Stop drinking milk
>Eat less sugar
>Wait til you're not a teenager anymore (I was 23 when I decided on accutane)
>Vitamins
>Getting sun
>etc
I don't regret accutane for a second
Mine went away after I turned 18
>tfw good genetics
Birth control.
i take:
Vitamin A
Vitamin C
Vitamin D3
Vitamin E
Starflower/ Borage oil
MSM
I use warm water, aloe vera gel, and a moisturiser, exfoliate and a face wash with no alochol.
i also take oxytetracyclin from my docs.
my acne is severe. Its fucking awful. i have scars on my nose, and i have a big jew nose. its uneven and lumpy from the boils.
i get spots in between my eyes. its extremely embarassing. i have no confidence. even holding eye contact with people kills me. i feel like a leper.
all my life ive had bad acne, i got bullied terribly. i still have acne, literally two minutes ago i picked 4 white heads of my lips. Every morning i wake up with at least 4 to 6 whiteheads.
ive been referred for emergency treatment by a dermotologist. im poor as hell and cant afford private health care.
im 28 years old

Cutting out sweets and starch, using benzyol peroxide, moisturizing and making masks from honey or yeast

Dude, add B complex to it and do this >>36616834
I started taking barely warm/cool water when washing my face or showering, seems to have made a significant impact. My forehead is being a cunt though. It's getting better, but get like 2-4 new pimples weekly. My forehead skin has also become sensitive to touch; if I touch my forehead, that spot immediately gets super fucking itchy. Is this rosacea?
Other than my forehead being annoying, my lower face is somewhat calm, I still get 1-2 pimples a week in random areas. I read a lot that diet shouldn't be a factor, but I haven't had the best diet due to work being crazy and stressful along with classes.
Besides lukewarm/cool showers, I try to stay away from gluten, but I'm not perfect with that. I've been trying acnetame, a pill, don't really think it's doing shit, but I'm not sure. I usually take a multi-vit, fish oil and zinc-gluconate
>>36616338
I don't know whether it's accutane, but I just don't feel myself when I take the drug, current 9th month on 20mg/day. But hey, the side effects are worth it for the results.
>>36616788
Stop picking. My acne isn't that bad, but I've had some shitty breakouts with big whiteheads. In those moments, I honestly just say fuck and ignore it. You have sometimes just tell yourself there's nothng you can do about this shit, so just don't worry about it and learn to live with it.
This will help reduce stress and you'll touch your face less, which will help a lot.
>>36613280
Clendomycin
Never had that shit
>>36617087
You should be ashamed of your clear skin privilege. While we acne sufferers are oppressed for having acne, you get to live happily with clear skin. I hope you're not a white male, too.
>>36613280
The last game of my senior season of football
Dat helmet was gross as shit
a lot of little things can be done if still not clearing that keep patches active. CHANGE PILLOW CASES at least every 48hrs. You lay there for 8hrs every night and probably don't shower before bed so guess what, oil accumulation. Wash them pillow cases...won't cure but will suppress immensely.
>>36616211
Most ppl still don't know that a keto side effect is model-tier skin. It's just that its hard to stay on track with a diet as strict as keto.
>>36617087
Don't you ever fucking post in my thread again
>>36617087
Thanks for the help faggot.
>>36614860
Please no one do this ever.
nothing yet
it's pretty fucking annoying and destroys my confidence, it comes in cycles of roughly a week
one week my skin can be pretty clear but the next I get these horrible red lumps
I should probably try accutane soon
>>36615788
pretty sure that's normal
it only gets better at the end
>>36614860
>>36619780
Dermatologists hate this one cool trick. I used to have the worst acne and baking soda worked like a charm!
>>36615438
it's not nearly as bad as you make it out to be lmao
I read that drinking dyed drinks causes acne. So gatorade usually has like red 40 in it so you should avoid that. My face has been pretty clear, but I still get the occasional rando pimple.
>>36615772
This is so worth the three weeks of peeling and breakout. Trust me. You just gotta work through it. It's so fucking worth it.
>>36613280
Cut sugar from your diet as much as you can, shower every day and drink plenty of water.
You're welcome.
how the hell do I get rid of back acne? I tried using vicks vaporrub on them and while it cures facial acne, it does fuck all to my back/front and arm acne. It looks disgusting as fuck and i wanna get rid of it.

I'm 26, don't eat junk food and still get acne.
for me it was hormonal
a mix of nofap+caveman is the absolute solution to the problem
instead of dealing with the acne fix the problem causing the acne
>>36619780
What would happen?
>>36613280
Nothing is going to cure it for me, but these two helped drastically. Diluting the castile soap about 1 tbsp to 10 oz water, washing only once a day and then using a small amount of olive oil as a moisturizer is working for me and I know there's not a bunch of crazy shit in it.
>>36620206
jaw melt
My acne was pretty bad a few years ago. Started getting cystic acne but thankfully I only broke out on my cheeks and chin and never broke out on back, chest, etc.
I was put on birth control and although I still get an occasional zit, I haven't had anymore cysts.
At the same time, I'm terrified that if I do go off birth control my cysts will come back.
In the meantime the biggest problem is getting rid of the redness/scars

It's called Accutane cycling and it doesn't increase your LFTs substantially.
If you stop taking roids your face will clear up.
i always have like 5 red bumps on my back and couple on my ass. what to do?
Nothing really, 26 and I still have it, probably will until I die, nobody in my family ever had acne (even as teenagers), I'm the only one
Oddly enough I also have eczema and really dry skin on limbs which are much worse for me than acne (since zits usually don't itch and aren't physically painful), can't really take accutane with that shit or it'll get even worse
Apparently the two conditions aren't actually mutually exclusive and i'm just really unlucky
If it isn't getting better with just good hygiene you should see a dermatologist, but it might turn out there's not much you can do
>>36621278
ass acne can mean that your underwear is too tight, either lose weight go a size up.
Eat healthy
Sleep minimum 8 hours a day
Not masturbating
Sleeping on my back
Mosturizing face
>>36613280
Eating right
Tons of water
vitamin A
>>36613280
Cutting out corn syrup.
Took accutane every day twice a day for 5 months.
Symptoms (caused by vitamin A toxicity):
>Temporary ones in green
Extremely dry skin
Sunken eyes
Dry hair
Dry/puffy lips
>Lower back pain
>Shat blood once
>Nosebleeds
>Minor mood swings
tl;dr most of the time I looked like a coke addict. Fucking worth it though -- it's been over 3 years and it never came back that bad. And after cleaning up my diet, I hardly get much acne now at all.
