Yes, the horrible, horrible acne. I'm posting this here because I'm curious to see if anyone has any methods I haven't heard of yet.
That said, I've been suffering from this horrible disease since a rather young age. (5th grade?) It's always up and down, no idea why. Sometimes it disappears almost completely, but sometimes it's so horrible that well..it's bad. I usually regulate it by using one thing or another. I've used numerous products, including proactiv, to really no avail. Proactiv regulates it (on good days) but doesn't even eliminate most of it. Gone to dermatologist, got products that didn't work. My brother used to suffer form acne as well, and his dermatologist gave him this cream to put on. It made the pimples go away but causes a horrible side effect (Skin darkening in random places, including face).
A little info about me:
I'm sort of a health freak so eat very healthy. I have a very balanced diet. Excluding dairy products does nothing..
I wash, tone, moisturize my face twice daily.
I used to not drink a lot of water (definitely nowhere near what I should have). But very recently, I've started to drink quite a bit. How many glasses should I drink anyway?
I don't wear makeup or anything, mostly because it causes my face to break out more.
My skin's really oily (of course).
No one in my family has the issue besides me, and my brother who used to. Everyone else has perfectly clear skin (:[)
So. :P Anyone got any advice?
