Acne Woes- Nothing has worked!?
Ok. Here's my story. I have very sensitive skin. I started my fist major outbreak in 5th grade. It has been known to be hereditary in my family and was also stress induced. I am now 15 and have not had ONE moment of clear skin. My acne is almost cystic along my jaw, but everywhere else is just normal acne. I am at my wits end with this. Ive tried EVERY product, Pro-active, clearisal, arbonne, a ton of neutrogena products, oxy, and some spa treatments. All of these have gotten it somewhat under control, but none can break through that threshold and clear my skin up. I'm going to see the dermatologist soon, but am heavily doubting anything will work on me. I dont touch my face, i always wash, and take daily showers. I'm tired of my face hurting and always being the one with ugly skin. Please help!

that sounds exactly like me. but now i am acne free. wanna know why? cuz i used acutane. im serious. it works wonders. i tried EVERYTHING else but nothing worked. acutane does. you just have to get blood work done every month and take monthly surveys. it only lasts about 5 months and it makes your face clear forever. i honestly didn’t think it was gonna work but now my face is all clear and all my friends say i look SO much better w/o acne.

That was me! I had terrible skin since 5th grade and treid everything. I finally went to the dermatologist and they put me on accutane. Its painful and makes you dry but belive me its worth it. Its the only thing that has ever ever worked. It will work for you. Its hard to be on but when you see your beutiful clear face, its so worth it trust me!

you only tried OTC stuff. prescription stuff is much stronger, and if the topical prescriptions don’t help there is always accutane (or birth control if you are a girl)
