I’m 23 years old, and when I was in my teen years I never had an acne problem, ever. I always had really clear skin. Now though I’m finding that my skin gets very dry easily, and almost like a dull pasty look to it. I’ve also been breaking out in a few spots, and my face looks more reddish and splotchy. I don’t understand why this is happening now, what can I do about it? Also, if it helps, I recently went off birth control pills, so could the uneven skin tone have something to do with hormones? what can I do to make my skin more clear and even?

The Secret Course

I’m in my teen years right now, and my acne is getting the better of me. I’ve had it since grade 7. At first I didn’t care. But, now, in high school (grade 11), its really limiting me. I”m more to myself, self-esteem is a rollercoaster ride daily, and I can’t ask the girl I really like out. I know that even though the over the counter drugs and medication work, only for short term,and the acne will rebound after. So, anyone got any tips or suggestions, i’m willing to consider everything, except Accutane, Proactive, or anything in this area. THnx

They’re just like a bunch of little dark dips in my skin that covers my nose, but I’m not quite sure exactly how to describe them. I’m a teen, so I think it might be a result of the acne that I’ve had in the past (I’m clear now, thanks to ProActive, but that doesn’t seem to be helping here). My friends have them, too, so I know it’s not a really unique thing. Any suggestions?

I’ve never had acne in my life, all of a sudden i’m starting to have so much. i’ve been drinking a lot of water and it seems to be going away, buttttt it leaves a lot of scars. what are some ways to get rid of scars?

Hi there,
Ive had acne troubles since I was twelve and I tried countless different soaps and treatments with no positive result. Unfortanutly i’ve been cursed with the dreaded excema.. so that dosent help either. I’ve tried switching to Organic Types of soaps hoping i just had sesitive skin.. and that didnt help either! So im stuck with pimples, blackheads, and everytime I touch my face that spot turns red!! I dont know what in the heck is going on here with my skin but i could use a few tips. Im getting older and its getting embaressing ya know!
Thanks all

I got 3-4 big acnes after eating chocolate and I tried many Anti-Blemish creams from Clinique, Guerlain, Shiseido but my acnes are still there and they look veeeery ugly. I want a cream that dries out acne in one day! Now I have been using these creams for 2 days 10 times and nothing’s changed in my face. Has anyone tried Chanel blemish control? I will be happy to get many alternatives since I can not find all brands here.

I’m starting to get random pimples and small pimples that clump together. I wear makeup, but I wear a protective primer so the makeup doesn’t sink into my skin. I want a good acne medicine that prevents pimples and scars and cures the ones that I have too. My older sister used proactive and she said that once she stopped acne started piling and it did the same for her friends, so I’m wondering if that happens to everyone if so is there other medicine that does not do that. I want to use this medicine only if I need it, so when I stop using I don’t want acne piling up, I want my skin to stay clear. I know there’s a lot of choices like proactive, Mondrad, Klear Action, AcneFree, Biore, and many more but what’s so far the best?
I know I’m asking for a lot, but I would gladly appreciate it.
Please and Thank You

I’ve got all these post-acne marks on my face. Dark red spots that just won’t go away. What can I eat to support healthy regeneration of my skin so that these spots can fade?

Should I try to meet other teens on the internet and tell them I am ugly before they come meet me so they won’t be surprised? I want a BF so bad bc I am starting high school and I dont want to be an ugly loser anymore.

im only 16 and my acne is almost over!! now im stuck with enlarged pores can a dermatalogist help reduce the apperance of my pores, is it expensive does medical cover any cargers&private insurance?

I never had a problem with acne when I was a teen and now I’m 27 I have adult acne it is terrible even if I don’t pick it scares. I am so sick and tired I have tried everything from over the counter to doctors, plastic surgeons you name it even chemical peels and nothing!!! Does anyone know of something good I don’t care if it is a product from a different country. I need something a solution.

I used accutane about 7 years ago and don’t really want to resort to that again.

Hey guys
I have never had any problem with acne in the past but now, in my early 20s, acne has appeared around my chin ad cheek area. Does anyone who has mild acne, know which tinted moisturiser is the best to cover mild acne yet is oil free and stays on all day.
Thanks for all the comments
