been using jojoba oil as a moisturizer, with ordinary salicylic face wash

was using 100% tee tree oil, but that broke me out in horrible acne, and even a couple of deep cystic ones about 2 days ago

been taking vit D, n fish oil for a couple of months now.

started zinc recently too, probiotics once in a while.

jojoba oil is amazing so far, skin is sure on its way to being clear

How bad is bad?

Mine was pretty bad for 4-5 years before I finally went and got accutane. After 3 months I've been pretty much pimple clear for 4 years.

Now I'm stuck with all the scars forever for not taking care of it right away.

Hard to say, but I'd say pretty bad. Fortunately I'm actually pretty attractive but the scarring on my nose/cheeks is ugly.

have you tried acid peels? mandelic acid is good for unclogging pores, lactic acid is good for removing scars and brightening skin. Google muac and email them for personalized advice . good luck dude, shitty skin sucks!

It's basically the nuclear option for getting rid of accutane.

Has a lot of bad press but a lot of people loved it and it worked for them.

I'd talk to a dermatologist about what may be your best option. The only advice you're going to get from retards on here is change your pillow cases and drink water which won't do shit if you have problem acne.

[Anonymous No.8197320]

I've found Dr. Bronner's soap with tea tree oil makes for a good face wash.

[Anonymous No.8197465]

acne.org regimen
if that doesn't work, go to the dermatologist and they'll give you antibiotics/retin-A
if that doesn't work, go see them again and get dat accutane

"You have shit genetics lol"

[Anonymous No.8197897]

accutane is fucking hell.. nose bleeds and dry cracking lips will be on the daily for you OP, but I recommend it.

Retard general:

Use ketonozacole (anti androgenic and fights inflammation. Double whammy) shampoo as a facewash. If you cant handle it dwily alternate with head m shoulders 1 percent zinc.

2 get tretinoin 0.1 percent. Its prescription only so order online. If you cant get it get a 2 percent retinol & 0.1 percent retinaldehyde cream.

Use a spf 30 moisturuzer when you go in sunlight.

Also get sunlight. And supplement 5.000 uid vit d.

When applying the cream, kinda pat it in instead of rubbing. Rubbing is irritating.

Keep your hands of your face at all time

Keep your hair out of your face at all time

Clean pillows or wrap a towel around them.

Take zinc supplements. 50 mg daily.

[Anonymous No.8198564]

my routine:
am
-wash with water
-moisterize
-sunscreen
pm
-cerave foaming cleanser
-stridex red pads
-cetaphil in the tub moisterizer

skin is almost clear. the worst mistakes people make is not using sunscreen or using "face washes and scrubs". chemicals like BHA's and AHA's need time to work and the 30 seconds you wash your face with is nowhere near enough time for salicylic and glycolic acid to take effect. additionally sun is damaging to skin and prevents proper healing to skin lesions like acne and especially scars. do not wash more than once a day as it will over dry your skin which will lead to excess sebum production that causes many types of acne. if you are over 20 and still have acne see a seem for a retinol or accutane. if you are under 20 see a deem and see what you can do to help it but chances are it is probably causes by hormones and you will grow out of it.

tfw have little bit of acne, get to the touching face part
>totally was touching face

fuck

[Anonymous No.8198794]

Here's your fix - dont touch your face ever again. problem solved.

[Anonymous No.8199090]

>>8198740

You won't.

In the end it all comes down to genetics.

Besides since you had acne you are pretty much " marked " for life, compared to someone who never had acne. Some scars will never fade away etc. So achieving a clear ass baby skin is highly unlikely, that's all i'm saying.

Though you can do the same thing as girls, and use a light powder, same color as your skin, to make your shit look better. I did it for about three years.

[Anonymous No.8199499]

Wash your pillow case more often.

No need to thank me.

[Anonymous No.8199519]

Use Lard instead of Aftershave.

[Meloetta No.8199797]

This is actually true. Also, use zinc soap, OP. Works wonders.

[Anonymous No.8199814]

>>8197210

See. A. Derm.

I've just started Accutane after years of suffering and basically putting my life on hold. I'm on day 40 - no real difference yet.

Has anyone here got an Accutane success story? Just to keep me motivated. I'm very pessimistic, which makes me constantly worry it won't work.

[Anonymous No.8199831]

>>8199814
Took accurate when I was 18. I endured the worst dry skin and bloody noses. I've had about 20 pimples in the last 5 years now. I haven't even bothered to try and prevent acne these last years.

[Meloetta No.8199844]

>>8197210
It's pretty queer, but this shit works wonders. Wash 2-3 times a day.

How's your skin?

[Anonymous No.8199892]

>>8199859
It was oily and dry at the same time if that makes sense. Now I rarely feel the need to just wash my face where before my skin was so bad I needed to several times a day. Not sure how to describe it now other than I have no complaints. To be fair I'm not really picky I'm just super happy to have no more acne especially the scarring kind that I was getting.

[Anonymous No.8199901]

>>8199892
Yeah my skins kind of the same actually.
I have a strict skincare regime which I hate. All my friends do nothing but are still acne free. Wish I could be relaxed about my skin.

Hopefully Accutane will enable that. Although I'll probably still take good care even IF I'm ever acne free.

[Anonymous No.8199906]

anyone else on doryx? I'm just starting my third prescription now, apparently that's about when it starts to kick in

Use zinc soap, dont ingest it
also, wash your damn pillow once a week on hot water

[Anonymous No.8199941]

Okay /fa/, here's my skin at the moment.
All the "spots" at the moment are red marks where spots used to be, not physical spots.

My skin always seems to be oily even though I wash it all the time. I haven't drank coke or any sugary drink in at least a year (besides tea).
I never eat take-out or fast food, avoid chocolate etc, drink plenty of water.

I'm on (not right this second) benzoyl peroxide and have been for ages, I've stopped using it for a few days since it makes my skin peel off like fucking crazy, it does it all the time then I take a break.
Doesn't seem to help that much.

Going to a doctor about my eye on Monday, I'm gonna speak to him and try to get on accutane.
My skin is so fucking shit.
I doubt acne.org would help that much and I can't be asked spending money, would rather just get accutane and get it over with.

Basically
>benzoyl peroxide fucking sucks

[Anonymous No.8199949]

>>8199941
Also close-up of my nose.
Has black dots on it, not going to call it blackheads or anything because idk the correct term.

Nose seems kind of red around the edges too.
I'm not gonna make it /fa/.

[Anonymous No.8199964]

Only Dermatologists can prescribe Accutane,I don't suppose your are seeing one for your eye are you?

[Anonymous No.8199982]

>>8199964
Knew I should have reworded that.
I'm seeing my doctor or an eye doctor about my droopy eye, but I can also ask about my skin I guess, he'll just put me up the ladder to seeing a derm.

I started by going Specsavers and they contacted my doctor, so.

[Anonymous No.8199992]

>>8199949
Quit whining, it's not bad, I've seen far worse and you have red spots only near chin unilike some(including me) people who have it all over the face. Get accutane though, the only way you can fix this shit.

[Anonymous No.8199995]

>>8199941
I'm the guy further up asking about accutane^. Here's my quick guide to getting prescribed it.

- Sort your eye shit out first.
- Ask your GP if you can talk to him about something else
- Talk about how your skin issues are having an effect on your life. he needs to know it's affecting you mentally.
- Tell him you've tried topicals with no progress.
- he will most likely refer you to a derm.
- See derm, tell them the same things.

This is basically how I got onto it. be patient though, i had to do ~1.5 months of some other shit medication that did nothing. your skin actually looks fine though, might be a bit tricker for you since it's basically clear anyway.

[Anonymous No.8200012]

>>8199992
Not as bad as some I know, check out acne.org and they have pics of people riddled with it, makes you wanna be sick

>>8199995
Thanks man, that's really helpful.
It does affect me mentally I think, I feel like absolute shit with it.
I went out the house once when my skin was falling off all over the place and it was all dried up, I could see people staring and it just made me wanna hide.
Acne is shit (especially their derbies).

[Anonymous No.8200372]

I've been using a method for the last six months that has worked well

If the root of your acne problem is excess oil you can take megadoses of Vitamin B5, also called Pantothentic Acid. It does the same thing Accutane does but it's way safer. Accutane works by permanently shrinking your oil glands with huge doses of Vitamin A, but it doesn't just shrink your oil glands, it also affects your joints, tear ducts, and other moisture producing membranes, and huge doses of Vitamin A are horrible for your liver. Vitamin B5 works by reducing the amount of oil your body produces. Not only has my acne been significantly reduced, by my skin is nowhere near as oily as it once was, and even my hair gets way less greasy and I can go for multiple days without washing it now. I still have pimples here and there but I'd say my acne is 95% better than it has ever been in the past 8 years.

The only con is that you have to talk ALOT. I buy the 500 milligram capsules in bottles of 100, and I take 16 pills a day (4 grams). It's kind of a pain to take all of these pills but I spread it out to 4 pills four times a day. You might need more or less depending on how it works for you.

[Anonymous No.8200513]

>>8200372
that much vitamin b sounds just as dangerous as vitamin a. bit isn't water soluble either

[Anonymous No.8200528]

>>8200513

It's not, I've done plenty of research on it. I've been doing it for 6 months with absolutely no negative side effects, and it doesn't have any permanent effects
