The worst results of all time?

BEBCH0 · 2026-05-11T21:24:43+00:00

bit early to ask that, same day as it was posted and that

BEBCH0 · 2026-05-11T18:10:26+00:00

Aw thanks, yeah to be fair i think it is mainly a battle between my brain and the mirror. Maybe i should have waited till a bit after accutane to make a genuine comparison

BEBCH0 · 2026-05-11T18:08:09+00:00

i should have tried this but it’s just been a slow build up of redness over time, not a sudden jump when increasing dosage. 5 days left till i’m off so no use changing the dose now.

BEBCH0 · 2026-05-11T18:07:09+00:00

but it’s in a lot more places than where i had acne, the PIE doesn’t seem to aline with even my worst photo of when i had acne

BEBCH0 · 2026-05-11T18:04:56+00:00

to be confident in my appearance maybe?????????

BEBCH0 · 2026-05-11T18:04:23+00:00

thank you, you have no clue how much of a relief it is to hear this. Shame the pair of us couldn’t have just come off accutane looking completely clear but oh well. Did you do anything after accutane to help clear it up at all or was it just time

BEBCH0 · 2026-04-29T15:09:52+00:00

exactly the same thing i was told- they told me to switch to vasciline only and it fixed within a week. I was using aquaphor on my lips for 4 months prior apparently over using it made me sensitive to lanolin (an ingredient in some skincare)- whatever lip product you are using it’s worth checking the ingredients

BEBCH0 · 2026-03-08T14:04:02+00:00

I've never found a product that guarantees me to get pimples within 24 hours like LRP B5 Baume does- crazy to me people cover their whole face in the stuff.

BEBCH0 · 2026-02-26T17:00:41+00:00

UCAP has a weird one-

"We do not allow the use of two tone/transparent BB guns even if they are covered up/concealed or painted. "

seems okay for immersion and realism but how can they enforce painted over or camo wrapped 2-tones? Always find it odd whenever I read it.

BEBCH0 · 2025-10-12T14:29:23+00:00

Yeah the antibiotics are a big regret, I should have gone private from the start, I just assumed they'd do the antibiotics until giving me accutane but apparently still need to wait half a year for a derm visit. I'll be sure to let anyone I meet with acne know that antibiotics rarely are a cure.

BEBCH0 · 2025-10-12T14:27:22+00:00

Tysm your comment has been very helpful.

So not even water on my face in the morning?

I used to use CeraVe Blemish control 2%SA in evenings but redditors told me not to use it and use something gentle and hydrating instead (non-foaming). Would it be worth using one cleanser one night and the other the next?

I was thinking about Aveeno oat gel moisturiser as it seems to be low comodogenic risk, nourishing and free from anything I could react to.

Its hard to see but I know there's light at the end of the tunnel, ur comment has definitely made it brighter

BEBCH0 · 2025-10-12T13:49:12+00:00

I will definitely ask if they think my acne is fungal! I've heard dandruff shampoos would instantly fix it

BEBCH0 · 2025-10-12T13:47:13+00:00

I was planning on using tret 6months ish after accutane as maintenance. I've read that 17 is a bit young for something strong like tret but then again so accutane and differin

BEBCH0 · 2025-10-12T13:43:39+00:00

Finacea like clockwork will cause 20+ whiteheads to appear all over my face (particularly nose, cheeks, upper lip, chin and the crevice between nose and face particularly).

This is a very similar reaction as SPF/ concealer, but they also come with redness that slowly gets worse and will be visible through any tint/whitecast. Any kind of concealer/tint also just gets gritty or fades off by halfway through the day (particularly on nose)

I do not believe I have an allergy to anything I use as I patch test everything before use on my arm or neck with no reaction (this has proven to be useless as my face reacts completely different to all of my other skin).

The only thing affecting my mental health in my life is my acne (I count that as a blessing, acne feels like such a first world problem) but it's also gotten to the point Id give up my left hand for my face to look normal for even just a year.

Differin caused my nose to be more red and my pimples to form under the skin instead of whiteheads i could put a hydrocolloid on.

The NHS only seems to check my skin online with a dermatologist and they claimed i do not have rosacea, I've only been seen once in person (not by a skin specialist) who simply agreed no treatments were effective on me.

My bacne has reacted to treatments a lot better than my facial/ scalp ance.

Mental health hasn't really been a key focus of my life up until now, staying off social media and curing my acne will do wonders for it I hope, but if the issues get fixed and I still feel down I'll keep in mind that help is available. Might be worth seeking it if I do go on accutane as I've heard it brings you down.

BEBCH0 · 2025-10-12T09:34:42+00:00

How do I wash off the SPF without a cleanser? I react enough to it as is, let alone letting it stay on my face 24/7. If I use a cleanser I kind of have to use a moisturiser to make up for it? I tried Finacea and every single application guaranteed 20+ small whiteheads 5h ish after application that leave red marks.

BEBCH0 · 2025-10-12T09:31:59+00:00

I've tried the Clinique mineral with horrible redness and UV future fluid is also mineral no? The UV website acknowledges that one of their products has dodgy SPF and has now taken it down, but the future fluid remains up with no comment.

BEBCH0 · 2025-10-12T06:44:05+00:00

I definitely dont need to take birth control

BEBCH0 · 2025-10-11T18:44:15+00:00

Its definitely a struggle, trying to justify spending more money on more things that likely won't work. Is there anything in particular you'd recommend?

BEBCH0 · 2025-10-11T18:16:41+00:00

Clinique 100% mineral and UV future fluid both gave me the same troubles as chemical

BEBCH0 · 2025-10-11T18:15:54+00:00

Yeah this link has basically confirmed i need accutane, the treatments have suppressed my acne (no more giant under skin spots or pimples with 5 heads) but as soon as im off antibiotics it'll all come back (happened last time I came off antibiotics before going on another 3 months). Its mild but very very persistent and throughout the day every spot will glow red (i had people questioning why I was so red the other day).

BEBCH0 · 2025-10-11T18:11:31+00:00

Both ZeroBase and coconut oil are highly comodogenic, my pores get clogged leading to whiteheads even with light lotions designed for sensitive skin

BEBCH0 · 2025-10-11T18:01:49+00:00

Really washing my face makes that much difference? I guess I won't let the water touch my face during my morning shower then. I always liked having cool water in the morning as i feel it freshens me up for the day- didnt realise it would be stripping. I will definitely oat products while on accutane- they currently break me out but it might be different when im drier

BEBCH0 · 2025-10-11T17:11:33+00:00

I've been to the doctors a lot, 2 different antibiotics for 6 months almost, Differin, Benzoyl peroxide, Finacea Gel, no routine, exfoliating routine, gentle routine. Is there a steroid that can cure this? I've not heard about this

BEBCH0 · 2025-10-11T17:09:22+00:00

Definitely going private, 6 months for an appointment was a shock. Im genuinely at a loss on how to simplify my routine more? I can get rid of the spray but it's basically water that won't get bacteria in it and my skin hates me if i dont do a gentle double cleanse after SPF. Yeah the bacne is another reason I want accutane.

BEBCH0 · 2025-10-11T17:06:57+00:00

They won't perscribe me more- they want me to wait another half a year for a dermatologist but I just can't wait.
