    I'm 23 and I struggle with acne too. I find it comes from eating too much dairy product. I cut back and my skin is better but around that TOM, my face still breaks out. I think it'll get better as I get older as the hormones get more in control. I use Philosophy's On A Clear Day and Clearasil acne pads. Oh and Philosophy's Purity to take makeup off. And now I use Argon Oil based makeup to make myself look nice whenever I go out. It helps my complexion and keeps my skin soft without being too oily. Caring for one's skin is a full time job. Drink plenty of water too! :)

    This is the best NATURAL product to use for acne. I have told many friends about it and they love it.

    BAKING SODA BLACKHEAD REMOVER
    » Why It Works: This gentle, quick facial uses baking soda’s acid-neutralizing alkalinity and milk’s lactic acid to clear out pores and lightly exfoliate.
    » You’ve Been Warned: After years of store-bought lotions and potions, this seemed almost too simple to work — but it did.
    » You’ll Need:
    - 1 tbsp baking soda
    - 1/4 cup milk
    » What to Do: Mix all the ingredients together. Rub into blackhead-prone areas using a soft makeup sponge. Rinse and repeat if needed.

    Edit: Please if you do go to a doctor or specialist. Go to someone you feel comfortable with to ask them the side effects in the short term and long term. Also, do your own research.

    I used to have very severe acne and I went to an acne specialist.

    Here's what the clinic recommended:

    take birth control
    get an allergy test done
    don't use anything containing alcohol on your skin
    preferably only use hypo allergenic products on your skin.


    morning routine:

    a gentle cleanser containing salicylic acid
    non comedogenic moisturizer
    non comedogenic sunscreen SPF25+.


    evening routine:

    a gentle cleanser containing glycolic acid
    benzoyl peroxide 5%
    moisturizer containing retinol A.


    also have a black mud mask or exfoliating mask once a week (do not scrub if you still have pimples, they could burst open from the scrub and then you will end up rubbing the bacteria all over your face).


    I only have about one pimple a month now and I have gone from a face full of it.

    I have an oily T-zone and have very small porse which bloclk easily. This is what has previously worked for me:

    Birth control (though I'm against hormonal treatments now)
    MD Formulatiosn glycolic acid products (though they gave me hyperpigmentation)


    This is what i do now:

    Clarisonic with Clarins Cottonseed facewash cream
    Clarins Brightrning toner on gfreasy patches (AHA gel-liquid which really works)
    Clarins blemich pen (alcahol based but works too)
    Swimming in a chlorinated pool
    Clariins SPF 50 lotion

    I have just started doing facial peels- I did a TCA one from MUAC yesterday and within 10 mins every blemish I had had dried up or come to a head and could be extracted (I use a Tweeserman skin extractor). My skin looks perfect today and should start to peel soon hopefully.

    I'm doing the peel to lessen fine lines, decrease pigmentation and refine the texture of the skin on the T-zone where some pores are stretched.
