How bad's your acne OP? Mine was terrible when I was a teenager so I went on a course of Roaccutane but pussed out of it. I went on a second course about six or seven years ago and saw it through. Now I very rarely get a pimple on my face, neck, back, chest etc. I still, however, get pimples on my scalp that keep me from getting very short cuts because I want to hide that shit.

Anyway, not saying you'll have to go to the Roaccutane extreme but it's something to consider. Have you spoken to a dermatologist?

Would probably say the 2nd picture on a good day, 1st on a bad. I haven't, should I?

>>7216912

If it's that bad and you're finding that nothing you try works, then yeah, definitely.

Cover your face with 5% benzoyl peroxide wash
Let sit for 5 minutes
Wash off

Do this every day. Your skin will be 90% better within a month. If you don't stick with it then don't bitch about it not working. I took accutane and still had some moderate acne, benzoyl peroxide was the final nail in the coffin that #rekt that shit for good.

Thanks, I'll buy some benzoyl peroxide and if that doesn't work after a month I'll go to a derma. The stuff that I use at the moment just doesn't cut it I guess

>>7216894
How hard is it to get a cutaneous from a dermatologist... I'm 21 n float between 1 2 n 3 in op's pic n it's with obsessive skin care

>>7216972
Enjoy your face peeling off

>>7216999

If that happens I'll see a derma. It's not guaranteed to happen so idc

>>7216851
Isotretinoin

>skin gets dried out and flawlessly new born
>down side during therapie: 95% dried out lips, 80% dry eyes, 5% depression, 2% suicidal, substandard risk of lifer and gastrointestinal issues, may cause huge hair growth or loss
>100% worth it

>>7217009

Or how about you just see a dermatologist?

Fuck.

>>7217016

Because if I can solve it without having to go to a dermatologist, cheaply too, I will?

I was fortunate enough to never really get acne growing up. The worst I ever get is maybe one pimple around my chin or on my temple. So, does any of this anti-acne shit even work? I kind of just assumed it was all a bunch of baloney like hair regrowth or something.

>>7217022

>See dermatologist
>prescribes me 2 topical creams to put on day and night
>each cost less than 5 dollars
>no longer have acne

whatevs brah.

guys I know you don't like seeing your pizzaface

but why don't you just wait until you're not a teenager anymore, then BAM clear skin

>>7217070
because adult acne

>>7219640
Dont say youre 20

>>7217049
prescribed creams, or just recommended creams off the shelf?

>>7219665
I actually am 20

>>7217013
isotretinoin is the same as accutane/roaccutane/whateverthe fuck

I don't really have any pimples left I just have a bunch of reddish marks (pores?) from where they used to be, how 2 get rid of

>>7219707
get a script for hydrocortisone valerate or ketoconazole. redness reducers.

>>7219724
those seem like awful big words for something that's going to fade in a few months, I was just asking for something to speed up the process

go to the doctor and tell them that you've tried all the over the counter products and nothing seems to work. i had acne for, like, a year and then they gave me some pills and a prescription cream and the bulk of it cleared up in less than two weeks and by the end of the course my skin was pretty much perfect. just do it seriously. and because i live in a first world country i didn't have to pay a penny for any of it

>>7219736
who gives a fuck what they're called? they are designed to reduce redness. i have used both. it's like a $5 prescription if you have insurance, but w/e.

>people actually thinking they should DIY to save a few bux

Dermatologists can save your skin. It's worth the cost because undergoing a particular treatment might make your skin worse in the end (if practised without professional help) and a derm can mitigate that with their expertise and knowledge. Just because it's your skin and there's Clearsil in the drugstore and you read a few online articles, does not mean it's right for you.

Intensive acne treatments and prescriptions always come with side effects. TRUST YOUR DERM AND FOLLOW THEIR ADVICE TO A T.

Source: Suffered with acne and tried to diy with tretinoin/glycolic acid/benzoyl peroxide and now have a beard of discolouration that'll take 3k in intensive light therapy to clear up. Learn from my mistakes.

Due to my shit insurance a visit to the dermatologist will cost me roughly the equivalent of four excellent facials. I have sensitive skin and mild acne, maybe the second-to-last set of photos in OP's pic. If you were me, would you pick the derm or the facials?

>mfw when my skins always looked like far right but better but i've been blinded by fake ads and always thought that 'clear' skin was photoshop ad clear.

>>7219687

That's his point bran. Wait a couple of years and see if that shit peaces out naturally.

>lips completely dried out and bleeding in the first month
>7 nose bleeds in the first 2 months
>3 of them were on the same day
>depression about 2-3 months
>suicidal thoughts during this
>last 3-4 months are great
>pimples gone
>redness just slowly fading away
>tfw it's all ogre now
good times, though there's still some redness and marks/'scars' from the really severe pimples

>>7217013
I had Isotretinoin treatment. Hell it really does dry your lips..

The treatmend ended, it worked well, but I have noticed a little bit of depression, i'm getting sometimes sad thoughts.. I feel my mind is not the same it use to be before the treatment.

Does that go away in some point?

Or atleast I think that is because of the medicine, it could be also because of the dark and wet autumn we have here in Northern Europe.

I don't really have a lot of acne, but my face is just red (with some scars left) like on the 3rd pic. I want to make it nice and even white, any recommendations?

>tfw never got acne
>tfw perfect skin
>tfw "wow anon your skin is so soft"

my skin greases up every few hours when i'm not washing it, doesn't happen to anyone else I know

not to the same level anyway

Finally grew out of acne, now I have scars on the sides of my face by the eyes

Wat do?

>>7221672
Post face.

>>7217013
For some people (like me) Isotretionin was toxic for my liver, had to abort. Got a lot better anyway, still not "clean", but its okay...

>>7221705
That's me on the right

>>7221640
bump

>>7221690
when you say scars do you mean actual scars like bumps in your face or just red flat marks where the pimples used to be

>>7222073
They're kind of like slight pits I guess. Flat red marks where they used to be
