Acne

I have had acne since i was 13 or so. I was out on accutane when i was 17 and it cleared up everything beautifully!!! Needless to say my acne came back and it's killing me!!! I HAVE tried every prescription under the sun along with OTC treatments, I've spent way to much money in my face for me to still have acne. I'm tempted to ask my dermatologist if she can put me back on accutane.

Anyone else have a hard time clearing up their acne??

I've heard that works for a while, but ends up making their acne worse.

I've never heard of that, what exactly is it?

Three words: Dif Fer In

J/k, I wanted to go along with the 1st two posters. Seriously though, Differin is the only thing (that I've tried) that has ever helped my acne.

I've considered accutane...

Currently, I've been getting glycolic acid peels every two weeks. 6 treatments in, my skin is doing great.
I'm also taking an oral antibiotic and using Aczone.

I've been using it for a month and my skin looks amazing. The only time I break out now is when I use facewash.

Really?? I have 2 tubes and I never saw a difference. Maybe because i wasn't consistent. What cleanser do you use?

As kk already knows, I just started trying this and I have had really quick results.  I was using proactiv before.
