[Paris.]

lets discussed what worked best for us.


for me, accutane.

[Insanity_SC]

getting older.

[Saadati20]

right now I'm on Minocycline two 100 Mg's a day with Retina-A. I'm on my second week and my face has gotten a little clearer but not much. I did Accutane for 3 months and it didn't clear mine up wtf.

[Environ]

For me: time

[heartbroke]

24 and I still get it. Accutane helped a lot after being done the cycle but aging, not touching my skin, and lots of water help keep me clear these days

[dave.mc]

Yo Paris, did you hit that fat ugly girl in your other thread earlier?

I kept asking my doctor for accutane but she was so damn persistent to me about not taking it.


What worked best for me was a prescription facewash my doctor prescribed me. Then I got older and it's not an issue anymore lol

I tried using Proactive though and that **** was weird. When you use it completely eliminates EVERYTHING on your face but as soon as you stop using it your acne comes back 2x worse. So if you stop using it it comes back worse.


Thought I should mention that

[10.lber]

Accutane finally did the trick after years of no success trying EVERYTHING else at that time.

[FlyinTurdNugget]

accutane... 1000000X cleared up

[Veri_]

i tried all products and stuff but best thing what has worked was drinking water(srs) instead of pepsi and ****

That's the problem sir.
It takes almost 2 months to even start working.. (everything gets worse for this initial period)
I'm on my 6th (and last) month now..
I think most people are on it for 5-7 months.

[grillin77]

accutane cleared it up precisely after 3 months. 2.999 months acne...at 3, all gone. i had the cystic shiet too. the kind that feel like little rocks deep inside the skin. itchy as hell.

after time and reflection, i realized its just all about hormones and genes. look at homeless folks for example. i know some rarely wash, yet have some clear ass skin.

[mo87]

doxycycline

[jorg3]

i had acne being overweight, faced loooked like a rock..This was when i was 220-240 pounds, i lost 40 pounds then 25 more...no more acne, i eat healthy now..I also use labseriesformen products...scrubs, washes etc..works...It was mostly my bad habits..

[Coach McGuirk]

ive used duac for the past 3-4 months or so

my rx is about to be up so im hoping it does not come back

i will probably pick up some organic apple cider vin and use that when i run out of duac

i had real bad acne when i was younger, after trying all differnt stuff, my doctor finally let me use accutane.... i was cleared up in a few months...

as i got older, i slowly came back, not as much, ppl kept tellin me that Proactive works... I tried it out, one month in i didnt see any results, but kept with it... and it works great..

i still get one or two here and there, but they go away fast

SkinID

Any of you guys still self conscious about your skin even though its perfect now? I sometimes am cause I had acne for like 1.5 years

[rushki]

time didn't do jack sh|t for me but make things worse...

starting 5th month of accutane right now... no side effects like people make it out to be except my lower back is more prone to injury, and chapped lips which cannot be avoided.

other then that, it's legit.


doxycycline didn't do jack
proactive only made things worse...


anyways, if you have light acne, just make sure to wash face before going to bed, don't sleep on a dirty pillow, and wash it after you work out. I also started to shower as soon as i get home from working out and that helped my back...

accutane IS serious sh|t so if you just got a couple... you don't have it bad at all... once it starts getting to your back, your lower back, shoulders, chest, and gets nodular/cystic... than you get the accutane which WILL clear yo sh|t up.

[matt3989]

I had it from 13-20. I started using clean and clear black head clearing scrub 2x a day and using 10% benzoyl peroxide directly after washing with clean and clear 2x a day. Seems to work well.

[Khalikov]

1. Drink A LOT of water every HOUR
2. Wash your face 3 times a day:
- Mildly warm water (not hot/cold)
- Use special soap and massage your face for at least 30 seconds
- Wash your face with soap twice
3. Don't eat anything sweet, sugary, or fat.
4. Sleep 7-8 hours/day

All of it greatly improved my skin

[NoodleArms]

washed face with dove sensitive bar, applied neutrogena on the spot to my whole face(make sure your face is wet so it thins out a bit), let it dry, apply light moisturizer, do this once in the morning once at night

[Emily92]

Oxytetracycline 4x a day

If I take it I have skin like a baby.
If I don't, I look like I'm on meth.
I keep forgetting to get new prescriptions so the majority of the time I look like the latter.

[vanheldan]

LIGHT THERAPY!!! after 9 years of acne, it's cleared me right up

[deathbunny]

i had it worse than anyone else in high school, my face was all scabs and that **** oozed a ton of pus and blood always. I slept on a towel for years because the cysts on my back and chest would break open and bleed. Pretty terrible, still have a lot of scaring but it's going away. Mostly just time that made it go away, also minocycline, benzoyl peroxide, cleanser, tazorac.

[OnlyGodCanJudge]

have had it for 5 years now, nothing works over the counter, prescription doesnt matter. Not gonna take accutane because of the side effects. Creams and **** just damge the skin with chemicals that arent supposed to be there. dont use nothing anymore except goats milk soap and it goes away day by day unless i go out and party, than i get a breakout.
