    Acne. Seriously, I get rid of some only to have more show up the instant I get rid of the last batch!! So infuriating!!! I just want nice skin like everyone else seems to have. Is that so much to ask? :(

    Adult acne is the worse for real. I struggle with breakouts too. I used proactive for years since my high school days but I recently cancelled it as it wasn't effective anymore. I've switched to some charcoal face wash and that seemed to help but I understand your struggle.

    It is maddening. I've had breakouts since I was 11 or so. Nothing so far has really improved it. Most doctors I've seen don't seem to think the breakouts are too bad, just annoying, but they haven't offered up anything that was really beneficial, either.

    My daughter had acne so badly at 14. I know how terrible it is because i had it so we tried everything topically we could and NOTHING worked. I took her to a dermatologist and he prescribed roacutane for 6 months (not sure if its called that elsewhere other than australia). 12 weeks and it was clear. Actually clear, not a spot skin! Its very potent, side effects are severly dry lips, sun sensitivity ect but it was so worth it. Shes now on a contraceptive pill specifically for problem skin and she only gets a few spots here and there now.

    (Edited for spelling error)

    I was hoping to find something that wasn't prescription, but I'll look into that and see if they think it's something I can do. I know the pill did absolutely nothing (one way or the other). Didn't make it worse, but definitely didn't improve it, either. Was on BC for about 10 years before I decided I'd had enough and switched to another method.

    And I think here in the U.S. it's just Accutane. Not sure if they still sell it, though.

    Did you see my post above about Cetaphil? I've used so many expensive products over the years and Cetaphil has made a huge difference for me

    Somehow I missed it, sorry! Cetaphil is a moisturizing lotion though, right? I was looking at it the other day and considering it. Part of my problem seems to be that some days my skin is oily and other days it is dry. It can't make up its mind! :neutral:

    I had the problem before I realized you have to moisturize. I would avoid it because I thought my skin was too oily but really it's dry (and I was drying it out with cleansers) so it over-produces oil to compensate. Moisturizing balances it out.

    If I called Science would you be one of the people that picked up the phone?

    Yes and I'd answer like this

    So the same way you answer your Emails?

    I gather they're ordering up something pricier and more prestigious?

    Nope...no ordering, I'm just trying to keep them out of prison, helps if they listen & then do what I tell them to do...sigh

    Not getting a good night's sleep and/or constantly being woken up at 6AM during holiday by a six year old. Bleh.
