26 and Fed Up with Acne! - Tallahassee, FL

8 years later.... VI Peel Scheduled
WORTH IT$1,200
I am finally planning to address my acne scars and uneven skin. I looked into and I have continued interest in VI Peel... I might start a new thread or a YouTube channel to chronicle the journey. Either way. Here's my updates. I still get some pimples during ovulation and on my period week. I just have really bad craters from years of acne along with just unsavory skin. Hoping to replenish good skin with a few peels and pray they come out how I envision them. This is 8 years in the making so I haven't conformed to any regimen and probably am guilty of neglecting my skin, but after being mistaken for being older and a burn victim it's about that time I put more into my skin journey. Accurate was truly and will forever be the best start so I pray that this peel makes it a full circle for me.

Wow omg !!! I still want to work on my scars... I have a beautiful newborn and had no issues with acne in pregnancy. Here are some photos. Since my last update so many things have changed and I don’t know if anyone still follows my journey as I had a few inbox messages I totally never checked along with some replies. I wish someone would pro bono a surgery for my scars lol but that’s wishful thinking at best

Nice to hear from you! Your cycle breakouts, are they not as severe as before Accutane?

I just wanted to say Thank-YOU for sharing your story! I'm 37 and going to finally start Accutane in a few weeks. Hearing stories like yours give me huge hope that clear skin may some day be possible. So thank you!! ❤

That was my main reason for the journey bc I felt as though maybe just maybe someone would benefit from it and if I could inspire just 1 person by being vulnerable I feel it was worth it. Definitely didn't think I would be this far honestly from first pill until now but I am happy to think of some after accutane therapy for scars bc I allowed acne to damage my skin

Thanks for posting the updates I hadn't checked on you since 2015. I did accutane not to long after you started and I also had similar results. No more active cystic acne , but I still get blackheads and oily skin. I feel like you, in that it was the best thing I could have done for myself. My only improvement would be to not get these stubborn blackheads, but I have resolved that I will never have perfect skin. At least I don't get those huge pus filled pimples that killed my confidence Every time I passed a mirror. The worst part was when I was asked if I used drugs because my skin was so bad. Now that is a far distant memory. Thank you for your story.

Hello, did you finally address the scarring? You were my inspiration for this drug and now am one month post last pill, but i have similar scarring to yours. I would like to know the kind of scar treatments you have used and if they have helped.

I never addressed it ... I went to the derm who wanted to do some meds and dermabrasion but summer 2018 I got pregnant and this spring had a healthy baby girl. My skin remained acne free all pregnancy. I still want my scars gone
