sure i dont see why not, but it might make your skin look really oily (while you can wear vit. E cream in the day and no one will notice). idk though, ive never used the oil

OP, you can always use cosmetics! I have a mild acne but a lot of scars/redness too, and I use BB cream + concealer + powder + matte finish everyday.

Fucking dumb shit you deserve acne for being so stupid.

BP is the VERY FIRST thing you ever get put on for acne and isn't terrible effective unless used excessively (acne.org regimen style). The pill I'm guessing was an anti-biotic, again not the most effective but can help a bit.

If you stuck with it you could've seen results, or alternatively gone back to try the next logical step of AHA/BHA cleansing, retinoids / tazoratene gels and creams, as well as the only actual cure for acne, accutane.

Since you lack such basic knowledge I'm guessing you also never once in your life bothered to soruce out scientifically-backed ways of reducing acne by both medication and lifestyle habits.

You laziness literally scarred your face for life. Good job and I hope it reminds you not to be a lazy cunt in future.

As for teh scarring you do have lasers do an exceptional job at fixing that. Another alternative as mentioned is the retin-a/tazorac. Finally, dermarolling followed by copper peptides are another decent solution.

i got prescribed tertralysal for mild active acne

the isotrexin contains 0.05% of isotretinoin which is the active ingredient for accutane

redness and all active acne is pretty much gone but the scarring isnt being helped despite isotrexin

would it be okay if i incorporated vitamin E and D tabs in this regimen?

I had had severe (and I mean SEVERE) acne for 10 years. I was much worse than the photo, I rarely left my house because how horrible my face looked. Now I don't have acne and almost got rid of the scars. I look OK (still noticeable scars, but nothing too serious, girls even find my face attractive now). Let me tell about my experience. Hope this helps you.

I tried all type of homemade solutions, no more than two or three of them were useful, I later asked a dermatologist and she confirmed me these actually worked:
- Mask made with lemon pulp and a little water (itches as hell)
- Mask made of natural clay (this one even makes your face feel better)
- Mask made of milk a little gelatin (didn't work for me)

And now the important thing: I didn't manage to cure my acne util I visited an esthetic dermatologist. She is a very well known one where I live and taught me a lot.

First of all, chronic acne is the consequence of years of a vicious cycle repeating itself on and on. You need some sort of shock treatment to break the chain. In my case, I had to take antibiotics for 3 months. Btw the "red scars" in the photo are not scars, they're a form of chronic inflamatory acne that can last for years (I don't know the name in english, sorry).

You also must make some changes in your lifestyle if you don't want to end where you first started:
- Diet: it's not a myth, bad food can fuck up your face (ie: chocolate, butter, dairy, fried and greasy stuff). Fish and shellfish gives you better skin. Also, be sure you take the right amount of protein.
- Exercise: sweating from exercise is a perfect skin cleaning treatment and can help. Also, saunas are not ok if you have acne.
- Solar exposition: if you live in a sunny place, wear facial sunscreen. UV rays are really really bad for the face, not to talk if you have acne.

8401657

(continues from)
>>8401648

And for the last, you must start a cleaning routine (1-2 times a day). Discipline is a must:
- Wash your face with COLD water (this is important) and a face cleanser (in my case, it was glycolic acid foam, it worked as a charm).
- Wip your face with disposable paper towels (important).
- Put on hydrating cream (one of the causes of chronic acne is that the skin is dry and it tries to moisturize itself by producing more fatty stuff). I used niacinamide + vit C.

Also there're some supplements that can help:
- Vit. A
- Vit. E
- Zinc (if you don't eat shellfish)
- Fish oil (if you don´t eat fish)
- Protein shakes (if you aren't sure about your diet's aminoacid profile)

I take capsules with vit A + zinc daily.

Once you get rid of the acne (this can take months), it's time to work on the scars. You can remove them yourself of have them removed by a dermatologist.

By yourself:
- Glicolic acid (>20%) gel. Apply daily, you must stay home and don't expose youself to solar light for a couple of hours after applying it. Itches as hell (AS HELL!!!).
- Strong exfoliating agents, etc. Can help, but are more agressive.

By a dermatologist:
- Chemical peelings. I used these. There are a lot of types and the number of sessions vary. I needed three glycolic acid (80%) peelings. Remember that 20% glycolic acid itched as hell? Well, try to imagine 80%. They're chemically burning your face skin, so no wonder. Despite that, the results are amazing,
- Roller. Same concept. They destroy part of the skin so it can grow again without the scars, but this time mecanically (pic related). Hurts less than the peelings

Hope this helps.

Guis.

Guis listen.

No home remedies will help you with redness and/or scars, because even with mild acne, those are permanent changes.

My dermatologist prescribed me Hascoderm, but the main ingredient that you are looking for is azaleic acid; it worked like a charm, for blackheads too, but it takes some time, weeks at least. Your skin needs to be peeled down in a slow pace to make any changes at all; that said, stay away from any mechanical scrubs because they will fuck up you face and cause drying and irritation.

Also throw out any cosmetics that claim to "clean 99% of your acne/redness/blackheads in one week", because this is straight up bullshit and doesn't work.

Besides that, to prevent futher breakouts - fresh towel on the pillow every night, keep you dirty hands away from your face during the day. DON'T wash you face more than 3 times a day - after waking up, after coming home from work/school, before going to sleep. Azaleic acid will help you with that, because it greatly reduces sweating. Use moisturizer when your face gets dry, it won't interfere with the med. I have never ate totall shit like fast food three times a day, but improving your diet can help you skin greatly.

Save this pls, won't write that shit second time.

The most important thing to keep in mind when worrying about acne scarring is STAYING AWAY FROM THE FUCKING SUN and using oil-free sunscreen whenever you are outside
in the short term, this will make your scarring 100x more noticeable as the scars will get much darker. the scarred skin is more susceptible to radiation and this will impede the natural recovery of your skin.

Is there any recommended multivitamin? Right now I'm just taking vitamin A, Zinc and fish oil.

>As of now, the only diet related cause of acne is from vitamin deficiencies
Ok that's really good to know, I'm pretty sure that's my problem, with all the frozen, instant and fast food I eat I'm getting far less vitamins than my body needs. Which would explain not only why my skin looks like shit, but why I feel like shit all the time.

There is no perfect multivitamin. Most like to overdose vitamin c, underdose zinc, selenium.. the list goes on. But a good multi for someone who can't be bothered to buy the vitamins individually and take a handful of pills regularly (ie most people) this is a good compromise:

And it is interesting that you would mention your mood, since that is the first thing people notice improve once they start taking these multivitamins.

Not too sure on scaring but I do know that these are a good remedy for acne in general as I have been using them for just over a month and I am clearing up nicely in combination with soap made of salt from the dead sea. They contain a crazy percent of your RDA of most vitamins and are rather cheap for such a product, I can get as little as four hours sleep and feel great. Side effects are luminous green piss and you will most likely feel the need to sleep earlier.

Cortisone cream, breh.
I don't have acne, but I occasionally get really annoying deep pimples that hurt like hell and get really red. I also pick at my face, so I have permanent red marks from old battles with skin shit.
Cortisone takes the redness off within minutes and keeps it down for the day, and helps the tissues heal. I just dab a thin layer on in the morning on the trouble areas.
It's also really good for speeding blister/scab healing.
I buy the non-prescription topical cream. You have to ask the pharmacist for it, since it's not on shelves.

I was prescribed Epiduo 0.1% / 2.5% and it seems to be working, I just apply it to my nose after a shower and massage it in. Good luck.

Does anyone know how to deal with red bags under eyes? I've had them for years now and I hate them. People think I'm addicted to something hard. Anyone got any advice?

do cycle until it clears up and continue zinc use after cycle

Apply apple cider vinegar on your face every night. After a while, your face will get used to it and it will be less effective. That's when you start using lemon, dilute it with water if it's too harsh. Apply that every night after you shower, but for only 10 minutes.


EVERY ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK, EXFOLIATE GENTLY WITH DAMP BAKING SODA FOR 20 SECONDS, MOISTURIZE WITH COCONUT OIL.

Vitamin E Oil is garbage don't use it.
