Hey I want some help too. O don't have acne anymore except for some occasional zits if not showering for a few days but my skin complection is very nasty. My skin is not smooth, discolored with reddish parts, looks like zits but under the skin, a lot of little yellow or white bumps on forehead and chin. It's not so noticeable unless looking closer but I want perfect smooh white skin. Also some zits and those red parts on my shoulders back and chest. Is it a diet thing? I don't eat fruits and vegetables.

>>718392575
Bump. Please /b/ros, I need help.

>>718393401
By skin complexion I refer to my face's not my hands, arms or legs

Shave it.

>>718392575

Do they still use Accutaine? That shit fuckin WORKED. Just don't get pregger.

>>718393832
They do. Ducks you up for a little while but after that free & clear for good son

Some people have shit genes. Go to a dermatologist and they'll fix it

Try lemon juice once you get out of the shower.

>>718392575
Let me break it down for you before all the fucking retards start to chime in: acne isn't caused by diet, lack of exercise or poor hygiene. However, washing your face with soap containing benzoyle peroxide or salicylic acid can help for mild acne.

For most people, all they need is time to grow out of it. For some people, though, they deal with acne their entire lives. If it's really a concern, see a dermatologist. They'll start by prescribing something like an oral antibiotics or topical ointments like Differen Gel or maybe Tretinoin Cream. And if it's really bad and/or doesn't get better with the aforementioned medications, they MIGHT prescribe Accutane, which is pretty much guaranteed to clear up your acne, but even then, it could still come back in time.

>>718392575
It may be stress induced. Your diet could also be an issue, especially if you drink a lot of sugary stuff. Consider trying accutane.

It's as simple as wrapping your pillow in a clean towel every night. It exfoliates your skin as you sleep. Take care of your liver too. Clogging that fucker don't help none son.

>>718393832
Accutane is still a thing, yes but I'm currently on a tight budget and probably wouldn't be able to afford it but I'll talk to my doctor about it.
>>718393942
I do feel like I've got shit genes, I'm almost 20 and still have this shit.
>>718393956
I'll continue with my current routine until the next time I see my doctor and see if he could prescribe something or refer me to a dermatologist.
>>718394103
I've been stressed a lot lately but I've had acne since I was 12, 19 now and almost 20.
>>718394137
I'll talk to my doctor about seeing a dermatologist.
>>718394348
I already do that and I've stopped drinking.

don't use accutane.

don't use anything too toxic. look into colon cleansing but get it done by a professional.

my acne finally went away except for the occasional pimple which i treat with hot epsome salt compress to the affected area. after repeating the hot compress as much as possible the pimple will usually go away in a "few days". you just have to get in control first.

and stop eating sugar.

Honestly, just ease your stress, eat relatively healthy, wash your face twice a day with soap/cleaning shit and change your pillowcases weekly. You can get these Equate antiacne wipes from Walmart that are ridiculously cheap and work wonders. Use them before bed and after you eat a greasy meal and you'll be golden.

>>718393401
use face masks

drink only water. herbal tea if you want but nothing else.

>>718392575
Advance beyond the age of 16. B&

>>718394808
It'll be hard to ease my stress and I already wash my face twice a day with a cleanser and moisturizer and I wash my bedding every week.
>>718395596
I'll cut out coffee then and see if that helps.

>>718395772
I'm 19 going on 20, anon. Pls no bully.

put coconut oil, thats for face and hair, all over your face, for 15-30 minutes at first. Then if you want to keep on overnight use only a thin layer and wash off after. youll see results in 2-3 days of acne clearing up. its not for all skin types, but id just go for it cause your not getting any younger.

Use RETIN A. Miraculous.

Source - personal experience.

Minocycline. It is a miracle drug. A miracle

>>718392575
runs might not help with acne but they will probably make you healthier anyway...

>>718392575
Wash your face literally every living second.
Wash before you leave the house and after you get back to the house.
At someone's else's house? Wash your face before you get there and when you get there.
Wash before you eat and after you eat.
If you feel even a little sweaty, wash your face.
Carry a water bottle around with you wherever you go. When no ones looking splash some water on your face and wipe the grease away.
Wash your face before bed and after bed, if possible wash your face in the middle of the night.
But remember never to wipe the water off, or you risk having dry skin, always dab and try and leave a little moisture on your face.

I'm 19 and my acne still hasn't gone anywhere. It's just as bad as when I was in middle school. Every year I hoped this would be the year I'd grow out of it.

I eat well, wash my face, sleep in a clean bed, have a daily face routine but my acne is just as bad as if I were to nothing about my acne at all. The only thing is that I've been depressed ever since I was a kid and I don't know if that has something to do with it, I've never not been depressed.

People say diet doesn't have an affect but that's bullshit.

If I eat dairy my face explodes, so no milk, cheese, whey, butter, heavy cream, etc.

Drooling in my sleep also causes my acne around my chin/ mouth area.

Also, if i let my hair hang on my forehead I get some up there as well.

I recommend taking a break from dairy, find out if you drool in your sleep, and keep your hair off your face.

It's good that you already have a basic routine. Check out the skincareaddiction subreddit, it saved my skin.

Stop eating a fuck ton of sugar

>>718396529
Also chips and shit like that, basically cut down on bullshit food

Personally, I used Accutane from July to November last year, and it worked wonders on my skin. Didn't need to change my lifestyle whatsoever. Only downside is REALLY chapped lips, but trust me, it's worth it.

>>718392575
Rinse in cold cold water for a minute before you get out of the shower it will close your pores back up.

Drink a gallon of water a day, cut almost all sugar out of your diet, wash your face like 2-5 times a day depending on how oily your face gets. Wash wish hot water then wash again with cold water. Worked for me. Still drink as much water as I can a day and try to have very little sugar and my face isn't as shitty as it used to be

Buy this from ebay.

I had acne so bad I wanted to an hero. I cut out sugar from my diet and started the retinol.

Check this site out if you haven't already
http://www.acne.org/

Some people have such bad acne at least it might make you feel a little bit better, but Retin A. The cream not gel.

>>718392575
Lay off the shelve food and go for fresh fruits, vegetables, roots, leaves, meats and dairy (raw milk from a bitch/female animal).

Just my two cents, probably won't work for you.

I had acne all through-out my teen years and early twenties. I found out what the culprit was for me: Milk.

I had started doing a Keto diet around my mid twenties and noticed my acne disappearing. When I went back to drinking milk (I used to eat lots of cereal), my cystic acne came back.

Either way, I can now eat whatever I want and not see a single pimple. If I begin drinking milk on a regular basis, I'll start breaking out.

Hope this helps for someone out there. If you have bad acne and are big milk drinker, what do you have to lose? Drop it for a couple of months.

I had the same problem years ago, tried with almost everything, then with Isotretinoin, 100% efective

Yes, but also go see a dermatologist and get him to perscribe you minocyclin and various topicals. My parents got me into it during my acne heavy H.S days and they really saved my ass. Not gonna be a one day cure but over the course of a few months, you'll see drastic improvement. God speed OP.

>>718396111
I'll still give cardio a shot then. Never know, it could help.
>>718395940
>>718395973
>>718396181
Are these available over the counter or do I have to get a prescription?
>>718396406
I know how you feel anon.
>>718396446
I'll try to steer away from dairy and yeah, I lurk that subreddit.
>>718396676
>>718396529
I don't eat a fuck ton of sugar and I don't eat junk food.
>>718396717
A lot of anons are recommending it. I'll talk to my doctor about it.
>>718396740
I'll start doing that. Thanks!
>>718396826
I'll start drinking more water and cut out any sugar that I typically have which is in my coffee and I'll start doing the hot water and cold water thing.
>>718396974
Sugar will be gone, I just need to resist the urge of my morning coffee.
>>718397081
I'll see what I can do, I do need more fruits and vegetables in my diet.
>>718397221
Only time I ever have dairy is when it's in my coffee, which I'll be getting rid of now.
>>718397590
Yeah, I'll see about that stuff.
>>718397656
I'll talk to my doctor and see if he can refer me to a dermatologist or just give me a prescription. Thanks.

1) Drink TONS of water, like 2x a 1.5 litre bottle every day.

2) wash your face with ONLY water, no cleansers, soaps etc. All of that is BS. The clogged pores come from inside not out, so scrubbing/soaping is useless. This product industry is 100% bullshit

3) Get enough sleep

4) Wank -- releases off stress

5) Exercise -- you wont stick to cardio, so just try to go for a 1 hour walk everyday, you can even look at your phone the whole time. Just walk for an hour around wherever.

>>718392575
don't fuckin moisturize you idiot lmao

>>718397927
I'm in the UK and Retin A was discontinued, so I have to buy it online now. People bring it over from India where it's dirt cheap and sell it for something like a 80% mark up.

I know that in the US it wasn't an over the counter thing, but you could get it on prescription. I just looked on ebay.com and there's a listing on thre http://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-20g-Acne-Treatment-Anti-Aging-A-Retinol-Cream-05-Anti-Wrinkle-Cream-/182416170015?hash=item2a78d9dc1f:g:AKkAAOSwEzxYcOjO
It sells quick.
>>718398641
Everyone needs to moisturise.

Take Accutane, talk to your doctor about it. It worked for me.

>>718398578
More water. I'm going to continue using cleansers though anon. I get plenty of sleep. I jack off about once a day. I'll start doing some exercise before my morning shower.
>>718398641
There are non oil based moisturizers anon. It's an important step to skincare.
>>718398952
I'm from Canada so I'll look into it. Thanks anon.
>>718399232
A lot of people are recommending it. I'll see what I can do.

This, moisturizing will only make it worse

Cleaning will not help cystic acne. Cystic acne is a genetic condition causing oil production deep under the skin where it cannot escape, causing bad acne regardless of your diet or how clean your your face and pillow are.

You need to pop them with needles or take accutane to reduce the oil production.

I had pizza face for years, tried all the hygiene remedies to no avail. Six months on accutane cleared it all with no scarring.

>>718398578
This shit only works if you have normalfag surface acne. I wish all these fucking retards understood that bad acne is genetic condition that creates cystic pockets far deeper in the skin than what's normal.

Hurr duurrrr just shower and stop eating chocolate, that's what made the two small pimples on the edge of my forehead go away.

>>718399391
It's important to moisturize.
>>718399467
Yes, I'll be talking about Accutane and other options with my doctor soon.
>>718400048
Yeah, I wish it were that simple honestly.

>>718396446
Correlation does not equal causation. Do you realize the steps you'd have to take in order to scientifically PROVE that dairy causes a breakout!? You people are fucking retarded.

>>718400266
Not for you, in your case you will only make it worse. Just give it a try and you will see for yourself. And people do not moisturize and they are not dead, so just stop being so stubborn about it and try it, if you were right about moisturizing you would not be asking for advice here

>>718399391
No it won't you fucking idiot.

>>718394348
this anons this shit got me through school and I haven't had bad acne since

>>718400602
It will for him at least, the guy is so stubborn about it and he clearly moisturizes the fuck out of his face, and that only seems to make it worse for him

>>718400684
Top kek, he should give it a try

What's in your diet? Is there lots of greasy shit in ur diet

>>718395596
This right fucking here, went from 5 zits a week to 1 maybe a month, I'm happier, I'm stronger, and I gotta brita that I carry everywhere.

>>718400558
>>718400740
I may be stubborn but I never said it was making it worse the current routine I've got going on is kind of helping I just wanted recommendations to add to my current one like exercising, what to eat, what not to eat, what products I should try etc, etc. I'm not going to drop an important part to skincare.
>>718400684
I'll try it out. :^)
>>718400717
I already responded to that one, I already do the towel thing and I don't drink alcohol anymore.
>>718400904
No, not really. I eat maybe once a day and sometimes not at all.
>>718401167
I'll be drinking more water but if you were only getting 5 zits a week then that's nothing compared to me. So your case was pretty mild.

not worth it. just fucking grow a beard to cover that shit up and live with it. i would grow a beard but i can't now

>>718401993
Thanks.

Seriously though, go for Accutane. Had a friend that used it and he was clear within a week.

Also, I eat like shit, I'm sitting here right now practically swallowing sour candy and I've never had acne. The diet thing is 100% a myth.

>>718402199
