Do You Suffer From Acne?

Hi Janey, Right now i am having breakouts. I am wondering why this is happening to me. i am 40 and only now that i've been having bad pimples and even acne. i had my medication but it's not working. i am planning to go to another derm clinic for this matter. i am using moisturizer too and refrain from using make up only foundation by mary kay. i hope my next derma will give me the right treatment for my pimples/acne.

I have been suffering from acne for the past 4 years now, and I'm pretty disgusted and lost any hope of curing it. I tried herbal, cosmetic etc. I got my face cleared up by just following a green diet and drinking 15 full glasses of water each day for a month. But I couldn't get rid of the acne on my upper back. It's reduced quite a lot but hasn't gone completely.

I use to have very bad acne starting at age 12 and tried everything. First thing I was washing my face with warm water and soap and then I went on to a bunch of the popular zit zappers only to find out putting soap and some of those things was the cause of my problem. Now I only take a wash cloth and cool water to cleanse my face and then I put on an appropriate lotion and I don't break out that way any more. I can't say too much about make ups because I only use a little eyeliner, mascara and maybe balm if I have chapped lips

I understand yo a lot, having acne is so hard and embarrassing at the same time. I also suffered from it until now and it get worst because I am pregnant right now. I hope that after i gave birth my body will be cleansed and I will not have acne again. I am living in a tropical country so it really triggers my skin disease.

Hi! I had big acne problems until a year ago. People who says that acne is only a teenage problem is because they haven't suffered of it in their adulthood, and they're really lucky. I tried all kind of products and soaps with no results, until I decided that maybe hormones would help me. You might have guessed what I'm talking about. I went to my doctor to get a prescription in contraconceptive pills -in many cases adult acne is a hormonal problem, so they're known to help reducing it-. The ones I'm taking are really strong to be used as contraconceptives, as they have many secondary effects, but, they're recommended for severe acne, and in my case it completely dissapeared. Ask your doctor about it, maybe it can be your solution too

I've always had mild acne, that usually only affects my forehead. I've tried a lot of over the counter products, but never foudn anything that really helps. These days, I just wash my face with gentle soap every night, and it seems to keep the zits at bay, lol.

I still get a few zits every month. Usually more when I am stressed out. It can be a little annoying, but I try not to let it get to me. I usually use Clearasil on my acne. It seems to work better than anything. I would probably get more acne if I wore makeup, because I know that I would have a problem remembering to wash it off of my face every night. LOL Have a great day!

Hi, Janey1966! I have suffered from mild acne. I will have acne that will come and then within that same week it will clear up. I don't have severe acne it is just mild. It comes when I am about to have my monthly female cycle. And it comes when I am very stressed out. I don't like having acne at all. I use Queen Helene's Cocoa Butter Scrub and it keeps my skin from breaking out with acne. When I was a teenager, I used to get acne frequently because of my hormones. I still get acne as an adult but it is not as much as I used to get when I was a teenager.

I'm lucky, as I never really suffered from acne. I have had a bit of skin problems, but when I went to see doctors about these problems, I was told that it didn't have anything to do with acne. I can remember exactly what was the problem, but I can remember that it was acne.

Yes I suffer form acne and I think that still being in my teenage years definitely doesn't do anything to help me get rid of the annoying pimples and zits from coming back out. I work in a Mexican restaurant and it's always so hot in there that you are sweating even if you are standing there doing nothing. I mainly just wash my face with face wash when I take a shower and then use some astringent or something like that to really get the dirt out of my pores. Still I have acne though so you probably shouldn't follow my methods of treatment. Lol.

I suffer from acne too and have since I was about 11. I am 20 now and I still struggle with it. I even have some scars that are left behind. Have you ever tried using Mary Kay products? I am a new beauty consultant and with that comes cleansers, moisterisers, day and night solutions, micro dermabrasion, all for samples to use at facials. But I use them daily for myself and I have noticed a huge difference in my skin. And Mary Kay has special cleansers which I havent used personally yet, but it is meant for acne and all of Mary Kay products are built for every type of skin. Especially the micro dermabrasion (I know I spelled that wrong). It is actually a process that people pay hundreds of dollars at the dermatologist every two months or so and you can buy the set at $54 which, by the way, is completely refundable if you use it and dont like it. All of my Mary Kay products come with that guarantee. Soo I am not trying to sell you, because if you are interested I would definitely suggest going to Marykay.com and look for a beauty consultant in your area. You can get a free facial and then see if these products may help. It has really helped me so far. And I have been using it of a little over a month. and I havent even tried the acne treatment yet either, that is just the basic cleanser and moisterisers. I hope this information might help you find what you need to get the right products that will help fight acne plus signs of aging and all of that :)

Hi Janey, My acne problem is black heads. I have had them since I was 13 years old. I'm now over 30 and still have them. I've tried proactive solution before I got married and it helped considerably. Now that I'm married and we have 4 kids the budget has gotten tighter so I've stopped using proactive and I'm now using Clean-N-Clear Black head treatment and it seems to be working just as good, just not as fast as the proactive. As far as make-up is concerned, I to use Clinque's foundation. I just love it, it doesnt cake-up and it does last a long time.
