Hello everyone! I have to say first that it's so refreshing, uplifting and inspiring to hear that I am not alone in this enigma called adult acne. Mine is of the cystic nature. Not one I ever had to deal with as a teenager or even young adult. But low and behold the 30's came and so did ugly,... Read more

With regret, I stopped taking spiro 5 days ago. I had been taking spiro (100mg) for 3 months. I am 36 and my skin has never looked better (most of my blackheads are gone and my skin looks generally so much better). I tried many treatments in the past 20 years (including accutane) and nothing... Read more

Indeed, an expensive procedure, but well worth it. I had fractional laser treatment and PRP focused on my cheeks and forehead areas. If you're worried about pain, do note it hurts less than waxing..hahahah..so I'm sure it's worth subjecting yourself to such a procedure to get those awful holes... Read more

So, in my endless struggle with acne I've finally decided to try Spironolactone. It was suggested to me by my dermatologist about a year ago, but when I did my research and found out it was a blood pressure medication being used off label for acne I said no way! Then...the I had a big increase... Read more

So I received 6 sessions of CoolBreeze, aka CoolTouch, during June 2012. At the time, my acne was blissful compared to the misery I suffer from now. I only had acne on my 'side-burn' area which was not responding to the Benzoyl Peroxide I was using. Furthermore, I wanted to help accelerate the... Read more

Figuring it was something easy to pretty much prevent, I started off with face washes and creams. If one didnt... Read more
