throw away that neutrogena moisturizer, its trash, i mean i used it too before, but spf 15 isnt enought and the oither ingredients arent skin repairing, its a ok moisturizer

im like 135 lbs

this is weird, gettin on accutane for that.

shit man i wanted to get back waxing soon too, lol idk if i feel like it anymore

im already taking ativan , its a benzo, doesnt seem to do much effects or maybe i just dont notice it

i have anxiety around new people in general, and i try to avoid lot of social situation when i can , plus i kinda have obssessive compulsive disorder , shit fuckin suck.

anxiety thing is weird, some week im good, other im very anxious ugh

edit; took that in private message

dude believe me i was well informed ahah, ive read every fucking thing everywhere for 2-3 straight months

you dont understand lol

the 40mg first course worked fine i was clear crystal for 3-4 months.



i just had a couple zits reapparing and i was scared for a comeback, i took the second round myself and asked the derm, it was my own fault, cause the first treatment was perfect !  when i mean oil return i dont mean acne.... you can have oily face and dont have acne at all dude lol. but mostly all peoples get oil return, not as but still have oily skin

and in that second round i went 40mg again since i had a superb first course, but heeeh after a month of 40mg, flushing and other redness thing. thats why i stopped.

actually a lot of doctors prescribe 10mg even 5mg, that call low dose accutane, its pretty much safer then big dose. and less side effects.

do your research ahah

Thought it would be worth mentioning my experience with accutane. I'm on month 3, results are finally kicking in after a dosage increase; my face is the clearest it's ever been for the past 6 years. I use to have a very oil face but no longer. I know people harp on how serious of a drug it is (and it definitely is) but I would agree that it's dangers have been vastly exaggerated by the media. The only real side effects I've had are dry lips and minor rashes, and occasionally nose bleeds due to dryness (fixed by a humidifier). 

 

I actually get a lot of shit from people asking me why I would put something as toxic as accutane into my body. My acne is not SEVERE but it's bad enough that people recommend I do something about it; but most people only recommend accutane as a last resort effort. But the problem is, over the last 6 years I've gone through multiple other treatments and routines and the results are always the same. A few weeks after finishing a treatment, or a few days of skipping my routine, and the acne is back. Got really tired of it tbh and I was looking for a more permanent solution. It's a PITA to have to think that if I skip out on even a day or two of cleansing+moisturizing, I'll break out while I know there are people out there who haven't showered in days and don't have a single pimple. 

 

Definitely not for everyone, but if you do your research right and are considering it I would recommend it. Only shitty part for me is not being able to drink while on it. 

lol chill you are on month 3, normally the bad things come after.

i did a 40mg 4 months course, 40mg was way too much, i had barely any acne just persistent, all went good, and dont worry

YOUR OIL WILL RETURN, maybe not as bad but will return for sure lol.

i went on a second course cause i was scaring of zits coming back / that shit make you paranoiac when you see just a single little zit , after one month i stopped, i was dead red sunburn face.

stopped gradually to 10mg a day, was stil too much.

2 months after stopping i still have sometime the flushing which can occur but its rare, but one month after i stopped was the worst my face would turn beat red like rosacea if i was stressed and with the hot heat. it would happen every single day.

pretty sure its a sign of my body telling me it was enough.

enough to say that these flushing left  me with some kind of permanent redness on the cheeks. hopefully they will fade with time and proper care.

yeah exactly !

i smoke too tho, i dont think it affect my skin like zits and all, just probably wrinkles over long time. theres no relation of smoking and bad skin acne and all.

laser is so tricky, can leave you even more bad sometime

skins been VERY clear for 6 months, following the daily regimen:

 

-malin goetz grapefruit face cleanser

-malin goetz vitamin e face moisturizer (or m+g spf moisturizer mixed in, but not too much because its oily)

 

In addition to those, I consume 2 large spoonfuls of vitamineral green every day (with water or tea), 1 spoonful of coconut oil, and drink at least 5 glasses of water (including tea w/ no sweeteners) 

 

As long as I make sure to wash my face daily, don't touch it (easy to do when stressed) and eat relatively healthy (low sugar, less carbs, less red meats) I get away with pretty darn clear skin

 

I also tend to get oily in my t-zone but don't break out. Pretty sure it's just genetic or hormonal. Face wipes tend to do the trick. 

same here, oily t zone but no breakout, and if i eat good and drank water i stay clear,

except i just use cetaphil cleanser and cerave moisturizer,

still looking for some exfoliant or mask that will improve the redness i have on one side of face 

im not too big on fancy skincare product, like aesop and all those things, seem to be way overated, they got so much bad reviews on paulaschoice and other website

anyone can id these ? i like that they are kinda variation of aviator

Update, 

bought cerave moisturizer and its pretty great, if you find acne.org or cetaphil to be too greasy, cerave is perfect and have lot of good ingredients that repair the skin which are normally found in overpriced $$ moisturizer cool brands.


also i dont really have breakout anymore since long but i had some weird flushing episode in december which are now gone after a month , thanks god,

but that left me with redness on one side of my face, mostly on the cheek and temples, any product you guys know that repair the skin and fade redness ? ive been reading about AHA and BHA exfoliant on paulaschoice. seem like a good option
