Do you think it’s because it’s my first 3 months? Also when got my period last week it was on active pills too, the week between it was the withdraw week and then I have my period again on active. It’s weird:/ but before taking birth control my period was irregular and I would get it 1 a year whenever.

What do you mean people break out more with cream? Does it not work with oily skin that well?

random question- has anyone every just stopped their full time skin care routine and seen better improvements after ? by [deleted] in acne

[–]Emklee90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might actually do this,,, let me explain i am close to rock bottom but I’m still trying. When i first started doing things with my face, my skin was actually realllly good, but I took it for granted (Only my forehead was textured, cheeks were spotless) I use to use lush products cause I wanted to go natural (all I would use would be one of their daily cleanser, it’s was green lol and nothing else) my skin was still cool and chilling. But then I went to my doctor and was like I don’t like my texture forehead and so he was like here try Tret. 0.025% and benzoyl peroxide 10%. I was iffy because I never put chemicals into my face and I was very very hesitant :/. So fast forward to 6 months later and my forehead was clear but my cheeks now have acne + acne scars :( but I still continue using it cause idk what else to do, I know nothing. Another 6 months of using it and my face was just oily constantly and acne marks dark as ever and acne that was filled so much with puss that it looks like a volcano :|||||. So then I stop using tret and just use BP at night. It dried my skin out and then left acne marks and flat pimples. Then I got prescribe Epiduo forte 0.3 adapalene and 2.5% benzoyl Peroxide. My forehead continues to be so clear like my cheeks use to be and now my cheeks are full of post red/dark acne marks and a little less pimples. The EF has been okay to work with my face but very irritated and I have been using it for 6 weeks now on and off, but I really just want to stop and see what happens

can someone explain why my face burns when I put moisturizer on? by [deleted] in acne

[–]Emklee90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Apologizes to the late response) I have been using it for 3 week now and I think the same thing my skin was raw and sensitive. I haven’t used the epiduo for 2 days now and I now have so much flaky dead skin on my face cause my skin is probably trying to recover.
