No dairy, no red meat, know what foods irritate your gut and avoids those, include prebiotic (fiber) and probiotics, eat lots of veggies and/or take vitamins supplements, and LOTS OF WATER!!
@@xw591 avoiding red meat is terrible advice. It's the most nutritious meat that you can eat and more nutrient dense than any plant. Come on now. Be fucking for real. And drinking tons of water will only create electrolyte imbalances. You have to add in coconut water, teas, and or add your minerals to your water
Google "diet for insulin resistance". Also, even more important than diet, is the daily calories you consume, your body fat percentage, and how often you workout.
whenever I eat oily, heavy, cheesy food my acne flairs up so yeah food is definitely important. It reduced drastically during covid cuz I couldn't eat fast food like usual.
What’s wild is for me, milk has always been good. Which is the opposite of like everyone else I know. Including my own family. But when I started eating more cheese, for example, my skin often cleared up a bit more. Lately, I’ve been eating/drinking a bit more dairy products and my skin is so clear (with the help of a good routine and all of course)
@@AllThoseChickens it's actually a huge misconception that dairy is the problem. high fat good quality dairy is great for your skin and health, but most people eat the highly processed low fat versions and blame the dairy on their problems instead of the inflammatory ingredients
It's not really about not doing anything it's just about being more aware of your surroundings, heres what helped me trust me i been thru it all (i smoke everyday) I tried to included as many details as possible because I know how dense some people can be, this is the ultimate guide to clear skin step by step. its possible you just have to be aware that you have sensitive skin. step 1: check what kind of deodorant and body wash u use. If it's not sensitive kind and you're breaking out, try switching to dove sensitive or the secret sensitive (if u are a girl with long hair make sure u wash ur hair more often with a sulfate free shampoo) my favorite is the rosemary shampoo by loreal. also try not to shower in extreme hot water as much. step 2: do the same for laundry. it could be possible your sensitive to the dyes in laundry detergent, so try using a sensitive skin laundry detergent rewash bedding and clothes. all free and clear or tide is my favorite. (also make sure u are washing ur bedding at least 1 times a week) ... (continue to be aware of products with "fragrance" in the ingredients or smells strong with heavy perfume. avoid these. )(also only use a small amount of detergent like a tide pod amount if you arent already getting those) if u keep breaking out after all this. then try this: be very cautious of eating alot of dairy or sugary foods and drinks as this can cause break out overnight for some people. even doing sugar free dairy free diet for a few days can help alot. also drink 3 bottles water daily step 4 if u KEEP breaking out after this. start icing the area (i used to put ice in a ziploc over a washcloth so its not direct) and use a 10% benzoyl peroxide Persa gel ONLY TO AFFECTED AREAS (only use a little). I have tried Neutrogena, clean and clear , target brand they all work really good. I would also try instead of using dove soap switch to the Neutrogena fragrance free bar soap. (its like a clear orange bar) i also use the loofa gloves and its helped alot. btw this will then cause your skin to dry out a lot so you will need to get a moisturizer. My favorite is the cerave blue one. if all else fails. and you have done all of this then u must make drastic changes to your life. look around in your life and see who brings you negative energy... makes u stressed, angry etc. and stay away from them.

It is scientifically factual that greasy/oily food does not cause acne because of its greasiness/oiliness. It’s generally because foods like that are often highly processed or just generally non-nutritious (fast food)
Here are a couple of things I do that helped me attain skin without acne and glowing all day. - Use a gentle face cleanser that eliminates excess oil and cleanses your skin well. I suggest littlleextra rriiceberry face cleanser only as it balances the skin pH as well. - Eat a healthy diet. Stay away from oily, junk, and spicy foods. Choose vegetables, fruits, and foods rich in vitamins C, E, A, antioxidants, and minerals. - Exercise helps purify impurities, so make sure to exercise regularly to cleanse your whole body. - Avoid touching your face often because our hands are generally full of germs that can cause pimples when they touch the face. - Weekly, use an oil or serum for a facial massage to improve circulation. - Once or twice a week, do a cleanup routine: cleansing, steam, scrubbing, apply a mask, and rub 2-3 ice cubes. - Clean your brushes and other items you use because they can harbor germs that can cause acne when they come into contact with your skin.
Upon washing face with the riceberry facial wash, I noticed that the face appears brighter. It is effective for all skin. The fragrance free formula is refreshing for the skin complexion. It lightens the skin as complexion becomes brighter with each use.
Whoever’s reading this: They are lying. It’s bots. Usually upon commented by Indian women and men. I do not know why, but every comment section about skincare, acne, clear skin: there’s this exact comment, exact wording. I’ve seen multiple videos on how it’s a scam and it has a bad smell, breaks you out. And damages your skin barrier. Please RESEARCH!! ❤
The medications she mentioned are last resort. People need to understand that finding what works for you takes time...and the right health professional as well. Education about your body and also maturity helps you know your body and what works for you
So I’m guessing you went on a low glycemic index diet to regulate blood sugar, reduced stress levels to regulate cortisol, and eliminated any foods that were hard for you to break down in order to prevent gut bacteria and digestive issues?
One thing thats often missed for good gut health is to eat 30 plants a week. Plants doesnt mean just vegetables but any fruits, beans$ legumes, seeds, nuts, spices, herbs etc
ISTG. Have been suffering and doing same for decades ..only thing that helped me is no stress, good food...lots of water and no outside food and yes a Lil excercises. Just be happy no matter what. That really helps

@@Disneymovieclips TYSM for your detailed list. It’s difficult to make changes, but, reading your list is a great reminder. Most people don’t follow these advices from doctors. It’s about time I commit to such a list.
No stress is one of the biggest resolvers of chronic problems because stress is a root problem. Chronic stress can literally cause illnesses, hormone imbalances, vitamin and mineral draining, early menopause, premature aging, autoimmune disorders, and even cancer and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Um, yeah, this isn’t about everyone else’s skin, this is what worked for her personally. Just because some people can eat bad and clear their skin doesn’t make her experience wrong, because everyone’s skin is different and everyone reacts differently to different things. Some people are highly sensitive to inflammatory foods so please don’t try to invalidate a useful solution for many just to lobby for a poor diet. Millions of women have had amazing results with cleaning up their diet. Your anecdotal evidence to the contrary doesn’t eliminate millions of other women’s results. You should already understand this if you’re an adult. If you’re not, do more research before making statements that haven’t been thoroughly thought out.
Some people have extremely oily skin like me that gets really oily again after just one minute in the sun after scrubbing your face super hard to get the oil out and using makeup wipes to help as well as wipes to take away oil from your face, some are lucky to have balanced skin while others have skin that is extremely dry, it’s a spectrum
I’m really glad you found your cure! Unfortunately, food related acne diets or food related approaches to acne are not a one size fits all. The pathology of acne is complex and many don’t end up benefiting from a change in diet. But I’m glad it worked for you!
If a change in diet doesn't help, then the root cause is almost always poor gut health in which a change in diet over a long turn period will eventually resolve the issue as long as there are no hidden allergies in the foods you're eating
Honestly, I wish people understood this more. For me it’s dairy and other inflammatory foods. The second I eat them I know I’m due a volcanic eruption on my face. Took me 10 years to pinpoint and trail specific diets to get it under control. That and porefavor supplements and tretinoin keeps me 90-95% clear
Quitting dairy didn't do shit Used a salicylic acid cleanser Following with adapalene at night with a salicylic acid moisturizer Morning: Gentle hydrating cleanser Duac (clindaymycin and benzoyl peroxide) And a hydrating moisturising sunscreen My face went from a cystic magherita to clear Now I'm waiting for the scars to fade They get dim by the day Didn't understand how important sunscreen was
@@anotherpotterhead1201 heads and shoulder gives me crazy dandruff Bullshit product I started drinking matcha tea everyday Barely any pimples 1 pimple a week :p From 2pimples everyday
@@anotherpotterhead1201 that could be because you have fungal acne, but using head and shoulders might damage your skin barrier in the long run because it's a stronger antifungal meant for scalp not sensitive skin of face. try a topical antifungal cream from the pharmacy
I did an allergy test and it came out that basically most of the things that I was eating daily I was allergic to them, it was so strange to me because helloooo I was eating them daily and they never caused me issues?The highest on the list where: wheat, rye, nuts, egg yolks and cod fish. I couldn’t belive it they are all literally my favorite foods ever😩 As soon as I’ve remove them my skin got better, also from my bloodwork I came out very deficient in vitamin D and that also causes acne. For 4 years I’ve been struggling whit what seemed like hormonal acne but in reality it was digestive allergies and vitamin deficiencies. So for those of you who are suffering please get your tests done they do indeed help a lot. I also started looking at my products and I mean all of them, from clothes detergents, shampoos, shower gels, make up, creams etc, I got rid of all of the oil based, comodogenic, allergy, acne causing products. When addressing stubborn acne we have to look at everything. Get the Yuka app and scan your products you’ll be amazed what’s in most of them 💀
If you’re suffering cut out dairy completely. My skin was as bad if not worse. It started clearing immediately when I entirely cut out dairy aged 31 while waiting to go on accutane. Within 2 weeks existing spots and hyperpigmentation scars were gone. If you’re at your wit’s end like I was give it a try. There so many delicious healthy and also junky plant based foods now including cheese, desserts, sauces. I resisted until my 30s because I didn’t want to be without cheese. How I wish I’d tried when young. My confidence levels and life choices would have been more positive
it’s so sad when you go to dermatologist to get help and they’re telling you that the food is not a problem for your acnee and you just need to get some pills and some skin care products, only to help pharmacies with so much money
That happened to me ....... i asked my dermatologist what to eat and what to not ..? he told me eat everything , food can't cause pimples .... then i ate eggs and sugar and dairy foods ...... pimples :💀👋Hi👋
Exactly. I started getting really bad acne in middle school and my parents took me to doctor and they prescribed medicated cream. Did absolutely nothing. My parents pushed me to drink a lot of milk when I was young. I had really bad acne all the way into adulthood. When I found out milk was the culprit and too much sugar too, I stopped eating those products and literally my acne stopped within a few weeks, my skin healed within a few months. Doctors and derms are only taught what the board of medicine/derm and government want them to learn. And we all know those entities get lots of political donations from large food corporations. They’re all in cahoots with each other just to make money from people suffering
I eliminated a lot of my acne with diet change, too, and managed migraines by only eating meat, veggies, some dairy/berries, very sparingly eat grains/cane sugar, change pillowcase at least every other night, wash makeup brushes (need to do that more, but like try to do it every 2 weeks, I don't wear makeup often, WFH), electrolyte water (no sugar), prenatal vitamins, oh and protein shake helped my hair stop thinning.
I mean there is also also a real chance that as this woman aged her hormone levels changed to the level where she didnt have cystic acne anymore and all the eating better was just a coincidence that occurred at the same time. I used to get SEVERE cystic acne on my face and body but it went away as i aged without any lifestyle changes....
Most helpful video I've seen so far, my wife has hormonal acne but she doesn't listen to me, im gonna show her this video. She is taking medication for ger acne on and off for the past 5 years but it didn't seem to go away. She doesn't drink enough water, most of her diet consists of Carbohydrates with little to no protein at all, oily foods. I always tell her to exercise and about her diet.
I cut out dairy products (milk, cheese, hidden dairy like milk powder in cookies etc.). The reason was that I have endometriosis and read that dairy can cause flare ups resulting in more pain and inflammation. My back and face acne disappeared. Whenever I allow myself to eat an ice cream... booom... it comes back. Also worked for my cousin. Maybe that's also something to consider :) I hate diet based solutions and never took them seriously. But this actually worked wonders for me.
@SandraP4123 thank you 😊 🙏, going to screenshot it and show it my wife. She never believes me but when her friends says the same things that I've been telling her over and over again, she is like ohhh I'll definitely try this.
I have been aware that my acne is hormonal since 2007/2008. I also knew I needed to get on spironalactone, based on the small amount of info I could find on the internet back then. Dr. wouldn't prescribe it for me. Acne continued and flared up when I was stressed. I did more years of research, and in 2017 I asked my new primary care Dr. for a referral to a dermatologist and begged her to do some reading and get back to me about whether or not she agrees with me and would prescribe spironalactone. She said that she would need to get approval through my state insurance (it was a no) and she laughed at me and said that you can't diagnose yourself and just start taking random meds based on what you saw online, and then asked me if I'm positive that I'm not abusing methamphetamine... Fast forward to this year, my acne was worse than ever due to stress and I found out my trans gf is on spiro! And she had TONS extra she could give me! I've been taking it every day for 5 mos. and although the "purging phase" has been quite frightening, it's almost over and already my skin is clearer, healthier, less oily and less sore to the touch than it's ever been! I'm overjoyed! I don't even have to shave my mustache any more bc it's gone - it disappeared! Now all I have to do is try to convince a doctor to keep me on it for life! I highly recommend trying a course of spironalactone. The key is to stay on it for at least 6 months to give it a chance to work, and be aware that it will get worse before it gets better, but I am a living, breathing success story! Good luck! ❤
@@SandraP4123 i ate way too much icecream in february and suddenly got the biggest breakout one month later. can this still be the result of the icecream or is 1 month later too late? i hope it is.. i stopped eating dairy and limited sugar/carbs 2 weeks after i got the breakout. after two weeks i can still see no difference, unfortunately but i hope it just takes some time. its often really hard to find out why you broke out especially if it seems to be delayed
Yes!!! I’m so glad you figured this out. Skincare is important and effective but it is only a band aid to a much bigger problem. Our gut health is EVERYTHING to our overall health.
Amen! I developed adult acne and tried products (except tretinoin at that time) but none worked. Until I started taking care of my gut and took care of my stress levels. I take probiotic and prebiotics for gut health, lemon balm to lower my cortisol, and consumed more fruits and vegetables. In 2 weeks, I was less bloated (belly and face), my energy was better, and new acne stopped from forming. Now, I decided to start on tretinoin and I can finally say that my skin is a lot better. In my case, topical products didn’t work until I complemented it with other changes. I hope everyone finds what works with them too. ❤
Agreed, food and what’s happening inside the body is a major factor in acne and all skin issues. Although, I’m at a bad crossroads with this and I hope someone can help.. i cut out eggs and dairy a few years ago, I can’t remember the last time I ate a dish with eggs. I DO NOT touch McDonald’s and most fast food, I get in lots of fruits and veggies a day and cook clean. I take a shit ton of supplements, I drink herbal medicinal teas, cut out all perfumes and fragrances in my house/all products that I use, don’t wear much makeup, aka I do just about everything right. So.. what exactly am I missing here because my skin has never been worse than it is right now. It’s been years of watching the life style I live only for it to feel like it’s doing absolutely nothing..
It could be your skin care routine, how you’re sleeping at night ( like if you’re sleeping on your face ), you might have to wash your pillows and towels often and keep from touching your face. Find a GOOD cleanser something simple because once I discovered this cerave face wash, I cut out all my other skincare products and now I only use a simple moisturizer and cleanser in the morning and at night and my skin is the best it’s been in years. it could also be the way you season your foods too ( too much can cause you to break out ) you might have to cut back to just simple ingredients, all homemade and fresh and lots of water and exercise. And when I mean fresh I mean like no frozen instant meals. I ate some simple frozen crinkle cut French fries the other day and it caused me to break out a little bit. you might have to watch your skin like a hawk when it’s clear to find out what’s causing it. But you definitely might need a good cleanser ( like a aha/bha ) no harsh exfoliants with the beads, just the chemical exfoliants ( aha/bha ), they penetrate your pores and skin to remove all the dirt and oil from your skin. AHA’s and BHA’s are gentle on the skin too so they can be used as a cleanser
I relate to this! I've also tried what you've described. Cut out all dairy, eggs, alcohol, no fast foods, and cook clean at home. Switch to making my own simple products or use products with very simple ingredients. No fragrances and less plastics. Living less stressed life. Drink herbal teas and eat healthy veg/fruits. Etc, etc! But! My hormonal acne is worse and more painful than before. I think it's now time to find a hormone specialist and blood work panels.
Omg, same. I went thru the same thing, so glad I stumbled upon your channel.Doctors do not really have the answers sometimes it almost feels you tried everything & it is a dead end still. I can relate so much to what you went through. It is taunting & self draining having to deal with acne this long 😅.If you can drop the food routine, it would be great 😊.
I eat very healthily, I cut out refined sugar, processed products, dairy products and gluten. I eat a lot of seeds like chia, linseed, nuts like walnuts, almonds and Brazil nuts, I eat vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, also lentils and chickpeas, sometimes a sweet potato, some peanut butter, a piece of fruit. I have been eating there for 2 years, last year my skin was so clear, but this year, despite eating the same thing, my skin breaks out terribly and I can't get rid of it, it's really frustrating. For vitamins, I take probiotics, vomplex B, vitamin A, d3k2, zinc and inositol. I drink mint, licorice and matcha, I exercise 4 times a week because if I exercise more it increases my testosterone, which is already very high. I wash my skin with coconut oil and ceramide gel, apply serum with niacinamide, tonic with vitamin C, and serum with retinol in macadamia oil. I don't know what I could change anymore, because my diet suits me, I eat at specific times, I never skip meals, I don't snack, I don't eat anything processed, my meals are properly balanced so as not to cause large insulin spikes, I drink a lot of water, I drink tea herbal medicines, I take vitamins, I exercise, I take care of my skin from the outside, I feel good, my weight is 45 kg, when I found out about my pcos I lost 55 kg, and at the peak moment I reached 41.5 kg, I decided to gain weight because I didn't feel the best being excessively slim, but I gain weight very gradually and with my diet, and yet I have terrible acne 😢
Exact same experience. Nothing worked until i started using all raw natural products without any additives, oils, or chemicals. Raw shea butter, tallow, African soap or goat milk soap. My cystic acne and hormonal acne is almost gone with no new ones in sight. I’m starting to learn to make my own skin products as i realized some of the added ingredients are actually just for consistency and texture. But those exact same ingredients had made my skin extremely sensitive and prone to acne. I then realized my cystic acne was due to inflammation from the over-the-counter products I was using.
100% true. I've never had skin problems, I naturally gravitate towards intermittent fasting, I don't eat sugar or many carbs. Last year because of hormonal changes I started to eat gluten and dairy (I'd been 15 years without) and after a year of that my skin broke out. It's not massively bad but blackheads are a lot for me as I've had such good skin. So now I'm regulating my diet and also caring for my skin.
You are absolutely correct,some people don't realise that just by applying product on the outside won't give them results the most important thing is to eat good food and avoid junk, What you put in reflects on the skin.

People will get angry and offended , but it's just true 🤷🏼♀️ esspecially nowadays. If you can afford it good for you! But no need to be mad that people are understandably frustrated cause no matter how hard they work or how responsible they are, they can't ever afford essentials or just decent house items like healthy food. Even frozen food is ridiculous priced
Probably the best and quickest acne video ever to help solve the underlining issue. I think this is my issue. It’s just hard because I’m currently 3 months pregnant so I’m limited on using certain skin care products and my cravings are hard to resist. So I believe I need to clean up my diet but it also can be my hormones due to pregnancy.
Getting off of birth control after 7 years helped my depression and my acne. Now the only time I break out is when I fall asleep without washing my face for a couple of days lol. I don’t eat healthy like I should but I know once I start doing it my skin will look even better and I’ll be in an even better mood and that makes me excited to start eating healthy. It’s just going the work that’s hard lol
I had such crystal clear skin and all my family members did too till I turned 18 and got the worst acne on my cheeks, my diet is super healthy I get my veggies, fruits and super good meats, fish, nuts, and drink plenty of water, so I did a hormone test, my hormones were 100% normal, now I'm using anti bacterial and anti fungal treatments and my acne is healing, if u have bad acne definitely do a hormone test, it'll tell u if it's Ur hormones causing it or if Ur skin has transmitted some bad bacterial or fungal infection
Yep totally agree as a young teen I get small breakouts some times, and I’ll notice what I’m doing wrong with my diet. Buying poptarts and ice cream at school, eating junk food and candy when I shouldn’t be, and then I’ll get to eating healthy, and my skin will clear up. This also just has to do with my menstrual cycle, it sucks, but the lady week or before I start will break me out, can’t always help it besides drinking enough water, making good food choices to take care of my body, getting enough exercise, and of course some skincare helps. ❤ Also for skincare make sure you’re not overdoing it especially if you’re younger like me. You don’t need a 10 step skincare routine. That will certainly probably make it worse, only getting what your skin needs helps. I like to stick to a cleanser, toner to get off dirt oil and extra soap off of my face, a moisturizer, sunscreen during the day, and for extra, maybe one hydrating serum or a salicylic acid serum or something like that, just for extra..like one thing that you don’t necessarily need but it may help your skin. And ofc besides that any acne product like a gel, patches, (and salicylic acid clears blemishes and heals acne by the way), or even a blemish prevention product or a cleanser meant for acne prone skin. And you can’t forget lip balm or I like Vaseline lol. But if you stick to something simple, necessary, and a useful routine it should help clear your skin along with the things I mentioned earlier, and if you stick to that you should be good to go. Please don’t feel like you’re ugly or anything if there is absolutely nothing you can do abt it or if it’s hormonal and it just won’t go away, you’ll get over it and ppl don’t see you as someone with acne, they see you as a beautiful sweet caring person. ❤❤
As someone who suffered from cystic acne from teens to 20s, everything you say is 100% facts. Low carb, high quality fats diet changed everything. Also, some other weird things that actually help. 1. Train yourself to never touch your face. Your hands can trigger spots. I didn't believe it until I tried it. 2. Change your pillowcase at least twice a week. 3. Wear a silk hair bonnet at night, sometimes hair on your face can trigger flare ups.
I suffered from really bad acne. the thing that helped me was pantothenic acid supplements! I ran into it by reading studies about acne. It’s totally safe for your body (its an ingredient in baby food), and it healed my acne completely
I took about 2500 mg 3 times a day. That’s 7500 mg per day. I would suggest to start in a lower amount and see how it affects you, and change your dose if you feel like you need to. Anyway, this vitamin absorbs in water so anything that your body doesn’t need will go out in your pee (so your pee might be yellow). Feel free to ask more questions :) And I will elaborate on my acne journey: It started when I was about 13. Really bad cystic acne all over the face. I tried everything - from over the counter ointments, to diet changes, to everything else I could find online. At 17 yo my dermatologist said that the only solution would be accutane. But I wanted to avoid it at any cost because of the scary side effects. So at 19 I started taking the pantothenic acid and in about a month I saw some improvement. After a few months my face was completely clear from acne :)
I avoid dairy gluten and sugar (even fruit) and my hormonal acne still won't go away. I'm literally so lost right now, because I've tried everything and all those perscriptions are like she said just temporary fixes:(
You may have MTHFR mutation. Try avoiding everything that is “enriched” with folic acid and instead take methylfolate supplement. Dont cut out fruits, you need the antioxidants and fiber. Eat anti-inflammatory diet.
Im not lactose intolerant whatsoever but when I stopped drinking milk with lactose in it and replaced it with the fair life milk and I’ve also done some other changes to my diet I’ve noticed how much better my skin is getting and how less frequent it is breaking out. I suffered from so much acne I still have ice pick scars and hyperpigmentation. The food one eats is definitely correlated to the acne one gets. I didn’t even mean to change my diet for my acne I did it for my health and ultimately it’s helped my acne 😊
I had adult acne for almost two decades. Went on Diane (contraceptive pill) for my painful periods, and my breakouts stopped by the end of 2nd month. Never looked back, never came back even after I stopped 1.5 years ago after 15-16 years on Diane. So it works for some women.
Guys,the only changes you have to do in your diet is Cut all sorts of sugar such jaggery,honey,maple syrup,agave syrup,anything sweet must be avoided and also limit fruits to only one per day and fruits juice with or without should be avoided at any cost,no dairy products except for butter and ghee in limited quantity. Avoid all sorts of processed, refined grains,deep fried food Foods that you must eat is Eggs Chicken Fish Bone broth Non starchy Vegetables Eat 3 whole meals per day,if your hungry have nuts in limited quantity its better if you soak nuts,except for peanuts(as it may cause allergy for some)for example Breakfast-3 whole eggs(no eggs doesn't cause acne),avoid,cereals,dairy products of any kind,anything savoury and not sweet. Lunch- little rice,non starchy vegetable ( cabbage, cauliflower, cucumbers etc,) and also fish(salmon, sardine,mackrel),chicken. Dinner:same as lunch or bone broth is recommended. This is my diet i follow this and my acne as improved a lott😊 Please follow these recommendations and let me know if it helps and share your experience.
I have cystic hormonal acne, and I quit dairy for the most part 7 years ago (i still have some occasionally like butter) and my skin has been wayy better since. Like within the first couple months is when i saw the biggest difference. I still struggle with some breakouts but def not as bad as it used to be.
@@AmberLichtenberghi!! Thank you so much for your question. Im sorry to answer so late. When i tell you i had acne all my life, its the truth -- i developed deep, cystic, nodular acne at the age of 9 (!!!!). I had so much acne that not a single spot on my forehead or nose was clear. I had blackheads on my nose the size of a pencil eraser, and people often mistook me as much older than 9 (they would tell me i look 15 or 16). It shattered me. My severe acne and oily skin lasted until i was 17, when a dermatologist i visited put me on accutane 2x a day for 6 months. He was my Angel. I had purging after starting accutane for 4 months. It was almost like my body was expelling all its toxins, and oil, right onto my face. At first i admitted defeat -- because if the worlds best medication could not cure me, i had no hope. Then suddenly, literally out of no where, after the 4th month mark of being on accutane, i woke up with a DRAMATICALLY clear face. Bright, smooth, and dry..dry!!! Even my scalp felt amazing! I couldnt believe it. From mid 4th month to the end of the 6th month, i continued to improve dramatically. Even my scars cleared. Not only that, but even after i stopped the treatment, i continued to see vast improvement. Now more than a decade later my skin is still near perfect. No scars, nothing. When i tell people about my acne past they think im lying until i show pictures lol and they cant believe it. I have recently had some pimples after 30 along the jaw, but that is due to hormonal changes and nothing close to what i had. If you are on the fence about it, i would strongly urge u to take it. I did not experience any weird psychological effects (i do not drink at all (muslim) and neither have ever done any type of drug) which in my opinion could alter how the drug metabolisez. Indeed it is powerful at killing acne, it dries u from the inside, so naturally it can have stronger side effects. Plz let me know if u take it and ur experience. I wish u the best only❤❤❤❤😊
@@AmberLichtenberg it took 6 months! I got worse before i got better! The purging was 100× worse than what i had! But i stuck with it. And by end of month 4 is when i suddenly started seeing results and rapidly so. I wish u ALL the best it is truly worth it!!❤❤
I'm about to get prescribed Accutane next month for my backs and I'm gonna be on it for 5-6 months and so I was hoping it would help but this is bringing my hopes down :(
True, I had severe inflammatory acne and extreme oiliness since I hit puberty. I had accutane courses TWICE in my life, tried every topical money can buy and COC birth control. Birth control helped a bit but my skin was still oily and inflamed for no reason. I was recently diagnosed with PCOS, even if I was normal weight (PCOS is connected to insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia which triggers androgen production). Recently I started semaglutide, and for the first time in my life my skin is not oily. Like, at all, even my nose which was ALWAYS oily. I heard metformin can also help, or any diabetes drug that can lower insulin in the blood and insulin resistance. Diet and exercise also help a lot, but you might need to be closer to "underweight" in order to see actual results.
Retinoids, cyproterone, spironactone and OCPs work great for acne. But unless you are consistent with your skincare routine, doing regular workouts and eating healthy, these drugs won't give lasting results.
