Acne is so brutal and depressing

[AsGoodAsItGets]

so the trick is to not do the same routine over and over but rather do a mix and increase strength over time?

+i dont understand how you mean your example. i cant mix clinda/bp after putting on tret because they are opposites.

Should/Can i just:
a.m.
face wash + moisturizer, eye cream + 1% Cinda mixed with bp 5% + sunscreen
(with variation every week)

p.m.
face wash + Vit C serum + Tretinol 0.25 + moisturizer

idk if i should exfoliate at all?

—-> what would you change or correct?

Ans I dont remember of Vit C interferes with Tretinoin or causes irritation so have a look at that.

 

[AsGoodAsItGets]

is hq even availabe in austria? and holy fuck this shit is expensive

Its worth it though...

6 months it took me to completely change my skin.

I noticed that those cystic acne really throw off your facial ratios and make you look bloated and red.

source confuses me. one says yes the other says it should be used to diffrent times.

should i just stop using vit c because i cant use it with bp, and apperantly it shouldnt be used with retinol aswell

Yes just stop it till you clear your acne.

Iirc you can use it in the AM while you use Tret in the PM.

So once you clear your acne, you replace Clinda + bp in the AM with Vit C and continue using Tret in the PM for even better skin cell turnover.

By the way, tretinoin is not retinol.

They both + adapalene are part of a group of chemicals called retinoids, just different generations with different purposes.

isotret is stronger than tret? should i go for the strongest or would that melt my skin off?

Isotret is accutane

HQ 4% for pigmentation.

Laser for scars. (+ other methods)

And never say IF, say ( WHEN I clear my acne...)

Use language carefully. It imprints your mind to expect success or failure and thereby influences your actions and will to follow through in times of doubt

(for eg, your mind will say:

is this working? This is BS

vs.

I just have to keep going, follow the program, i will be clear of acne...)

Visualize your skin clear when you go to sleep.

Be positive.

Inshallah, you will have clear skin and improve your self esteem...

Tretinoin saved my skin

Tretinoin saved my skin

explain how you used it, how long it took, side effects, where you buyed it, cost, strength

 

[Kamui]

explain how you used it, how long it took, side effects, where you buyed it, cost, strength

Every other night I put a pea sized drop on every part of my face, my forehead, cheeks, chin, and nose

It took me about 8 months of using it for my skin to get really clear

The only side effect I got after using it was that my acne started breaking out more as an attempt to purge all the bad acne but that only lasted a few months, after that my skin cleared up really fast

I got it prescribed from my dermatologist

Idk how much it costs but I think it’s not that expensive

I use 0.025% strength

makes sense tbh, @AsGoodAsItGets recommended me .25%, you used 0.025%.
how big is the diffrence between these two or was he meaning that all along?

Idk I’ve only ever used 0.025%, tbh if I were you I’d stay on accutane since it’s way stronger than tretinoin, your skin will eventually get better dude trust

i cant take isotret (accutane) bc i‘ve got surgery planned in 4 months and you must stay off of these for a minimum of 6months

 

[Allornothing]

For me post acne hyperpigmentation basically cucked me throughout my whole sixth form since it literally began at the same time and I still have it today.

Also if I’m too lazy to wash my face for a few days then I have acne for the next month or two. Might just start water fasting.

 

[Deleted member 16220]

Use accutane dude.

Trust me.

 

[nevermind2]

I heard urine works well too against acne

But fr I was coping with skincare do everything blah blah jfl. I eat now only animal based and I don't get new acne anymore except after I go to gym a few small pimple. I don't anymore change pillowcase, apply cleanser, apply moisture, apply BP and clynda, tret. Often I forget to even wash face. Yet I have less acne and almost no inflammation of it.

 

[alphaChadpeasant911]

Go on Low dose/microdose bruh

What surgery you having? I'm getting ptosis surgery next month and i had no choice but to go back extreme on low dose (10mg 2x/week) to control my raging acne and seb derm. its literally the only thing that works for my fucked up skin

 

[depressionmaxxing]

trimax, i have to wait until next year to start accutane

 

[GnomePilledSigma]

I would start taking ciscutan (accutane) but i‘ve got surgery in 4months and i heard its not allowed to do anything surgical while being on accutane treatment.

Im 18 and im still coping with my open growth plates and was wishing for an last inch. people on here say it closes the growth plates.

skincare is fucking cope. no 0.5 retinol, bp, clean diet works. (maybe its because of dairy tho)

Should i start trying tretinol?

30 mg zinc a day worked for me

 

[depressionmaxxing]

i‘ve read about that. you mean applying zink pasta on your skin or taking it oraly as a supplement?

oraly

 

[alphaChadpeasant911]

Mate trimax is actually very ideal for accutane, because the scars will be on the inside of your mouth, so no one will see them even if the accutane causes the scars to not heal properly, which is the main reason why you don't want to be on accutane if you're geting surgery.

Plus if you only use super low dose accutane it won't even affect the healing. All the studies that talk about accutane affecting wound healing were using standard/high dosages, micro dose accutane would probably not cause any bad effects.

But ultimately it is up to you. If you can tolerate your skin being bad then wait until after your surgery. If its driving you crazy and u can't look at yourself then maybe go on microdose accutane. Thats what i'm doing, and i'll update here if my healing process is affected or not.

 

[House Lannister]

I can get it to finish my acne but still in my parents insurance and they think I will die because of the 1 in a billion side effects I’m gonna have to wage slave and buy it myself

 

[Deleted member 16220]

Dude just use it despite surgery.

I was on accutane when I got a surgery for a hernia and was fine.

The only "issue" (part of the way accutane works) is by increasing skin cell turnover (replication and apoptosis). As a result a surgery wound might take longer to heal. Same with tattoos.

If you're suffering negative mental health from acne take the fucking medication. Just hop off when you get surgery. You'll be fine. Ive been using accutane for years.

 

[autistic_tendencies]

Fuck accutane got micro wrinkles after every cycle

true, but consider swelling aswell.
Whats a microdose for accutane? How often and how much mg should i take?

 

[depressionmaxxing]

Fuck accutane got micro wrinkles after every cycle

where do you get them?

 

[autistic_tendencies]

where do you get them?

Forehead , more plates more dates got it too I think dries out your skin so much

 

[alphaChadpeasant911]

Accutane doesn't affect swelling AFAIK, it only slightly slows the healing process of skin, which could cause scars not to heal properly. But that shouldn't be a issue if your scars are hidden anyways like with trimax.

Microdose is an extremely low dose, like 10mg 3x/week, or 20mg once a week. It is actually used amongst celebrities and actors to maintain perfect skin for acting and photoshoots etc. At that dose there is virtually no negative side effects, it is much safer than regular dose, and you will be able to enjoy clear skin without doing anything else.

[Deleted member 20370]

Stick to what the dermatologist suggests. A lot of people are walking around with hormonally boosted acne and don't know one trip to a derm will solve all of that.

too bad derma nowadays have no fucking clue what tf they are doing
