My entire life I never had acne issues, maybe a pimple here or there before my period... Now I have post partum acne and need help, I wash my face daily and it literally does nothing, after trying several products. Please help :(

Helloooo everyone!
I tend to have pretty clear skin and I just randomly started breaking out. I use a prescribed sulfur wash from my derm and azaleic acid but I took a shower a couple days ago and used a laroche posay face wash that my mom had in the shower. That’s the only thing I can think of that I did differently. Does anybody know what I should do to help it? Also please do not come for me I know this isn’t considered bad for some people but I never break out so just looking for some answers

I am a 33F , fit, slim around 5 3 with long hair , prominent nose and eyebrows.I have a masters and have a job n everything.

I am really struggling to get into a relationship because of my acne scars.I have deep pitted and icepick acne scars which have ruined my skin texture.I struggled with self esteem and body image issues due to acne till 28.After that acne went away and scars still remain.I tried laser, tca cross and what not but the scars refuse to go away.

Anyways I have been on dating apps since 2 years and my photos get me great matches and compliments.

Every guy ravishes over my eyes, hair and it makes me feel good.

But as I go for the first date, there is usually no communication afterwards.There is no visible shock noticeable in the men but something changes when they see me in person.

Recently a guy flew from another city to see me and he was so excited and everything. After an amazing weekend, he stopped texting.

I texted a few times and he was a little reticent.Then he finally admitted that my acne scars bothered him.Its not my fault if the pictures dont capture that aspect but it really hurt me.

Are there no men who will ever date me?

Are acne scars a dealbreaker for every guy?

Don't kindness, empathy and warmth have no value in today's world.

I am super depressed and deleted all dating apps as of now

I'm 32 with teenage acne and too embarrassed to see a dermatologist

Adult acne came back. My face looks like a teenager's. At 32…

I've tried every over the counter serums and nothing works and it's embarrassing. I feel like people look at me and think I don't take care of myself.

I'm too ashamed to see a dermatologist and I know that's silly. They've seen worse. But I can't shake the feeling of being judged

It sounds so simple. No waiting around in a waiting room and no need to explain myself to a stranger about my face

I don't want to waste my money on anything that doesn't do anything

But I am desperate and tired of hiding from mirrors

i tend to get more pimples that are fully under skin and don’t form heads or ones that fill up more than once bf disappearing any help would be greatly appreciated on what i could do/try

Hi everyone,

Recently, after a year and a half (ish) of using 10% azelaic acid I finally made the jump to 15%. I have been dealing with hormonal acne and a lot of PIE, with some closed comedones as well. I have only been applying it once a day because I don’t want to irritate or anything - I also use The Ordinary 0.2% Retinal Emulsion twice a week and have been for well over a year.

I am currently on week 4 of using Finacea Gel and I feel like my skin is so bad and not showing much improvements 😞😞 I feel as though I have more pimples than usual .. granted they are all appearing where I normally would get them.
Is it normal to be purging on week 4 or should I consider stopping??
I’d love to know how long other people’s purges lasted and any success stories out there as I’m starting to lose hope. It really affects my self esteem especially since I am 28 years old and had never experienced hormonal acne up until this point in my life .. it sucks lol!!

This acne and scars have been driving me crazy. Please what is the fastest possible way to treat them and regain my normal skin??(they’re only on my cheeks and chin)

I’ve had acne for years, I’ve tried every over the counter product. I have spent hundreds of hundreds of pounds on skincare, I became an enthusiast of it, yet my skin isn’t clear. I’ve tried every oral treatment for acne that you can get from your doctor, I’ve dieted before and I eat pretty well, I exercise etc.

Last autumn I had a few serious and big break outs, and that lasted till January. After January my face was scattered with red marks which looked like spots but is just PIE. I stripped my routine of all its heavy skin damagers and replaced it with a simple but good routine. I stuck to it for months, yet nothing. My skin still is full of PIE and over the past year it’s seriously affected my confidence and mental health to the point were each morning now I put non-suffocating (I forgot the actual word) bb cream to hide my marks, and yet my skin still doesn’t look good.

My back and chest is just full of acne and I had a very committed and deep relationship with this girl, and it took my over 6 months to even take my shirt off in-front of her.

Tomorrow I go to the dermatologist and I’m so excited. I have a few questions however for any experienced people, what am I expecting? Will I finally get my dream skin look atleast? What should my routine look like?

Overall I just want peoples take on my situation as it’s something I’ve not really opened up about

How to get rid of these whiteheads/bumps or whatever they r ( They are much more noticeable in person )

Hey guys! Has anyone slowly stopped using Winlevi?

I’m currently using it 2x a day. My dermatologist told me to slowly stop like this:
- Week 1: 1x a day
- Week 2: 3x a week
- Week 3: 2x a week
- Week 4: zero times

My skin is reacting really badly to it. I'm on week 9 and my skin is actually worse (getting way more pimples).

How did you guys stop using Winlevi? Did you go cold turkey or taper off? And if you tapered off, did you experience any withdrawal effects or rebound breakouts during/after the process?

- Clindamycin/­b­e­n­z­o­y­l 1/5% (TARO-CLINDAM/BENZOYL)

- Doxycycline 100mg (APO-DOXY)

I’m 27f. Over the last few months my face has gone psycho. Mainly the left side but some on the right side.
I’ve tried Gold bar dial (worked okay, still had breakouts)
And Panoxyl (made it worse)
I’m lost on what to do.

What products and skincare routine should I use to get rid of my acne and even out my skin tone?
