I’ve never had perfect skin since puberty

[Deleted member 616]

Pre puberty was the last time I could see my face with smooth glowing skin. Since I started middle school my face has been riddled with disgusting inflammatory acne. Unfortunately I was coping with books / academics so I neglected my skin for so long, I just, consciously or subconsciously, avoided looking into the mirror whenever I washed my hands, failing to realize my problems and deal with them effectively. Till 2017 I never cared about my skin and scars have been left, collagen has also collapsed bit by bit.

Now after 1 year of skincare routine and 6 months of accutane my face finally looks somewhat “human”, but it’s still far from the perfect condition that a genuine chad is supposed to have. In some lightings the remaining scars and the big pores really look like shit. Now I’m only coping with salicylic acid and vitamin c cream to prevent further breakout. Haven’t got a breakout for 2 months but I want perfection. In November I gonna start a chemical peeling course at my surgeons’. But I’m 27 so I’ll probably never regain a youthful perfectly glowing skin. Fuck life honestly I fucking envy those who have flawless skin. Collagen = youth, and youth is priceless.

Did accutane leave you with dry skin ?

Only for a short period of time

I want to try it but i am afraid i'll have dry skin forever and thus premature wrinkles

You won't. It only regulates oil production whilst in your system. My acne came back when I stopped taking it.

Just moisturize and you’ll be fine (my skin is kind oily naturally which probably helped too)

How long and how much did you took

20mg a day for 6 months

Good for you. If I had flawless skin I’d gain 1 psl to my looks no joke tbh ngl. Skin halo is powerful

Skin is so insanely genetic that it’s a huge uphill battle to get where you need to be if u were cursed with bad skin genes

However it’s more easily fixable than being a manlet so you have that

my skin is woeful!! Always has been.

Yes, good skin is easily one of the most important features since it is the main health indicator of current health. You can have chad bones and it can leave you ruined when you have spots, scars and your face looks inflamed.

Skinmaxxing is easily my biggest PSL boost. I know how I used to look like with bad skin (even though at the time I thought it looked ok), now my skin is smooth, glowing and has a healthy under tone. The difference is really night and day, If I even get 1 pimple or inflammation mark now, I get paranoid af.

Yes, I’m cursed with bad skin which was worsened by my bad lifestyle (eating whole package of chocolate and drinking 2-3 bottle of high sugar drinks per day when I was at university)
