How can I get my acne to clear up?

February 3rd, 2012
asked:


This is a serious question so I want serious answers, please.

I am almost 19 and I have had acne since i was 16. Right now, I have it all over my cheeks and it just doesn’t seem to want to go away.

I have tried everything. Creams, chemicals, ointments, home remedies, you name it. I even tried going on a diet. Juice fasting seemed to help clear some of it up but it all just came back when I started eating again. I am very careful about what I eat (no greasy, fried, sweet foods) and I only drink water. No soda, juice or anything.

I also exercise regularly and go to the steam room twice a week.

Right now I’m using Obagi for the acne, tee tree oil for the scars, and baking soda to help lighten the redness.

Everyone around me seems to have passed the acne phase and it depresses me to see all of my friends have beautiful clear skin while I still have a lot of acne. I don’t even know what to try anymore. It has gotten to the point where I don’t even want to go anywhere, just sit in my house, it’s so embarassing to go out with my face like this. I’m losing hope, I don’t even know what to do anymore.

How can I finally clear up my face?? I know it’s not going to happen in a day, or a week, but I need something that will actually work. And I don’t really want to go on any strong medication because my skin is pretty sensitive.

tretinoin(Retin-A) cream 0.05% vs. 0.1%?

February 3rd, 2012
scoobydoo!where are you!?!?! asked:


i’ve been using obagi tretinoin cream 0.05% for the past 3 1/2 months. although the initial side effects were a complete nightmare, my skin has managed to gradually improve after that. I just ran out of the tube and i went to get my prescription and my doctor gave me 0.1%(the highest dosage) instead.

I’m just curious…am i going to notice a difference now that I’m at a higher dose? does it work faster or something or is it better than the 0.05%?

does anyone know what I can do to get rid of my acne (please read all)?

January 25th, 2012
asked:


I’m 19 and I’ve literally tried it all. I have had severe acne since I have 9. NINE. Everything they can give you at the dermatologist didn’t work for me. They wanted to give me generic accutane but I have depression and bipolar so my doctor think it’s safer that I don’t. I’ve tried proactiv which worked for me till my skin became immune to it. My esthetician has given me lots of different products to use. Some worked (once again, until my skin became immune) and a lot didn’t. I’ve tried obagi, dermalogica and some natural products that were given to me. I’ve tried EVERYTHING from the drugstore. I’ve tried murad and philosophy and origins and clinique. Acne free… I really don’t know what to do. My skin is immune to tee trea oil, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acid and most natural astringents no longer work. I’ve tried pills too. I mean is there ANYTHING left I can try? I’d prefer it if no one mentioned acne.org also because that’s just benzoyl peroxide which I know will not help…
lol WOW

Suddenly getting freckles on face and some that look like they’re turning into moles?

January 18th, 2012
asked:


I started on the Obagi-c to help with some sun spots that I had (Melasma) on my face a while back in August. It worked for that so I stopped using it. But now I see there are freckles forming pretty rapidly on my face one or two of which look like they are turning into small moles. I wear sunblock every day, but I didn’t in the summer. Why would it be appearing now and how can I stop it?

Why is my skin breaking out SO bad all of a sudden?

November 24th, 2011
Lily asked:


I am still in absolute shock right now. My face is usually FLAWLESS. Like….if I were to brush my hand across my face it would be soo soft and smooth with maybe a few little teeny tiny pimples but nothing bad at all. All of a sudden my face is just disgustingly full of acne. I cant even look at myself anymore!!!!! It’s all over in places I NEVER got it!! Even when I had breakouts! It’s all up where my hair line is I never get it there. It’s all around my lower cheeks around my jaws and I dont think I’ve ever had a pimple there in my life and theyre all over! Theyre just covering my lower jaw my forhead honestly isnt as bad but the lower half of my face is just out of control. And I keep getting all these cyst acne! I’m rubbing my finger on my chin right now and its so bumpy and infected feeling. I mean I can just feel the gazillion black heads or whatever the hell they are. I wanna die right now i dont know whats happening!!? Do I have cancer or something I mean wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????? NO I am not stressed. NO I am not on the time of the month. Some things I thought might possibly be causing it is that I have been drinking chocolate ensure’s once a day to get vitamins in me because I am extremely malnourished. (I am a very picky eater) I drink no soda I eat pretty healthy. Although now that i think about it I have been very careless with what I eat lately……so i guess ive been kinda eating unhealthy. I haven’t been drinking any water. Z-E-R-O water. I only drink juice. honestly I hate the taste of water. Dont tell me it doesnt taste like anything because I just dont like it okay???

In the morning I use obagi face cleanser, pore therapy, medical pladgets, spot treatment, moisturizer and I exfoliate a lot and use honey masks and pore strips. I do this routine twice a day every single day and every morning I somehow wakeup with a bunch of new pimples!!!!

PLEASE help me!!! I’m sorry but I am just so upset right now!!! :( oh yeah also……my skin has been acting freakin bipolar lately since winter hit I dont know wtf is going on. My hands got these like dry patches on them. And I’ve been getting a lot of rashes and stuff. My skin is SUPER sensitive…
