I want clear skin more than anything in my life

[Peachy]

I fucking envy every guy I see. Literally all of them don't have acne and I'm sitting here at the age of 21 with a pepperoni pizza face....

retin-a bro

I've been using adapalene .3% for more than a month now and I'm still purging. I have so many tiny bumps that you can only see when I stretch my skin and look at it up close. Basically, all the crap that's been under my skin for ages is coming up. If I were using retin-A instead, it would had been twice as worse. Once I clear up, I'll switch to retin-A for youtmaxxing purposes.

What's your diet like?

 

[Peachy]

What's your diet like?

A mix of Russian/Romanian/Italian/German cuisine. Dairy is kept to a minimum. I'm also trying to eat less white bread.

 

[Mr_Norwood]

You need to be eating Low GI food. Food that doesn't spike your blood sugar and insulin.
Insulin sends your sebum glands into overdrive.

No white bread, pasta, sugar, booze etc

I've cut down on all sugar. Not sure if orange juice counts, but it has the daily dose of vitamin C. Pasta is not triggering any breakouts for me.

Yep orange juice, natural or not is sugar.

Fruit juice is bad for us actually, we're supposed to eat the fruit with the fiber slowing down the sugar absorbsion.. not drinking the juice.

I'm a really picky eater. If I eat something I don't like, it will instantly make me puke.

You mean collagen filled skin

An oldcel can have clear skin but still look like shit

Accutane was the only thing that helped my teenage acne. If I get some pimples today I just wash my face in the evening and the morning everything’s gone

I don't think I have issues with collagen at 21 but adapalene purged the shit out of me. This Wednesday I was at my worst, but this Saturday I'm almost clear. My clearing up process went up exponentially these last 3 days for some reason. Maybe this is the finish line, idk.

 

[NiBBaCel]

just go to ur doctor mine helped me out tbh

 

[SikKunt]

Just cut out all carbs, when I did my skin cleared up.
I also use a cleanser and moisturizer day + night so that helps as well.

What am I supposed to eat if no carbs? How am I supposed to get my calories other way?

Through animal products.
Are you underweight?

No, I'm 183lbs at 6'2. I'd have to eat a shit ton of chicken to get to my TDEE

Why chicken?
Lamb, beef, pig, fish etc... Eggs as well + Dairy if you tolerate it.
At least cut carbs to a minimum.
In my opinion you should only eat carbs + fat if you're underweight and have difficulty gaining weight but you don't seem to struggle with that.
Skincare also greatly helps though.

If was only eating animal products, I'd probably be getting something around 1500 calories a day.

I am skinmaxxing, have you not read this thread?

How do you know?
Fat adds up a lot throughout the day, butter also adds lots of calories if you combine it with another fatty meal.

Very good advice. Damn. Please don't look further into insulin because I don't want everyone finding out everything involved in clear skin. But yeah since you said it. Keep your blood sugars low. Would like your post twice if I could.

This is a 10 egg omelet. For the record, I feel full after eating a 4 egg omelet.

I'll count my calories as well to see how many I'm getting in a day...

 

[Peachy]

I'm gymcelling 3 times a week, so I need carbs anyway. Pretty much all carbs I'm getting are complex carbs and there's literally 0 "added sugars" in my diet.

The most depressing suicide-inducing part about it is the purge. I've been at my worst this Wednesday, but it's been getting exponentially better since then.
