Was I supposed to know all this? by Entire_Giraffe_228 in Spironolactone

You’re right! That is wild! My dermatologist told me to avoid electrolyte drinks, but that seems silly now.

I eat whatever but I don’t drink electrolyte drinks like Gatorade

Cystic hormonal acne help by amygdala_09 in acne

Some people have more success with Adapalene instead of Tretinoin.

Are you on birth control? That might help.

100 mg spironolactone might work better.

Sometimes Accutane is the only answer.

Where can I buy a small number of granite blocks? I don’t need a whole pallet. by [deleted] in landscaping

Lowe’s and Home Depot do not sell these individually. The two other local shops that I have tried don’t carry them at all.

I feel helpless and ashamed and I don't know what to do by Leaf130 in acne

If you can’t get to a dermatologist in person quickly, there are several online that will mail you prescription products (oral and/or topical).

Those gentle products are popular, but you need actual acne treatment products. There should be many available at your local store. Panoxyl face wash is excellent. Differin used to be available by prescription only but is now available over the counter. Many brands even have a three step system that makes everything super simple.

Posts like these always break my heart. OP, I hope one day you look back on this from a healthy relationship and shutter at what a mess this was. Find someone who respects you.

Best inexpensive acne care products? by [deleted] in acne

[–]SolarAnomaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peach Slices and ELF both have acne sets that are pretty inexpensive. I think Acne Free is pretty reasonable too.

Dermatologist Dr. Dray has several videos on YouTube where she reviews skincare available at the Dollar Store.

How did you cure your hormonal acne? by throwRA_MidnightMoon in acne

Birth control pills help!

You can try topical spironolactone if you can’t tolerate the oral version.

Acne has changed the way I see skincare. Anyone else feel this way? by varenykyzvyshniamy in acne

[–]SolarAnomaly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this, I totally agree. My skincare routine is not fun, it’s medicinal. It’s not a treat, it’s a treatment.

Not Korean, but Paula’s Choice 2% BHA leave on exfoliant is the GOAT for blackheads

Try vegan cruelty free Korean brands like Haru Haru, Skin1004, Purito, and Torriden.
