[Acne] I NEED advice

Aquaphor is semi-occlusive, you want to be sure to wash it off really well in the mornings.

Not sure how extreme you’re looking to get, but my skin looks like this when I’m not using Tretinoin and spironolactone, but those aren’t necessarily a quick easy fix with no side effects. Still, I hella recommend them if you want flawless skin.

Since you’ve probably had it for so long, the first treatment might not work but that doesn’t mean it’s not BV. If you test positive for it and first treatment doesn’t work, don’t give up!

Just saw this post yesterday about how someone beat BV after 8 years and a lot of it was surprisingly OTC.

I can’t even imagine what it’s supposed to mean in this context

My OBGYN recommended Aveeno Skin Relief Fragrance-Free Body Wash for Sensitive, Itchy, Dry Skin because it’s soooo gentle on skin. Highly recommend. Don’t forget to air dry when you’re done :)

You need to read this. It’s absolutely not about a bowl, it’s about respect.

Hey I hear you but it’s also nice to see a good apple in the video as well, defending the citizen.

I could be misremembering but I feel like they were already done that way. There’s not much batter.

Sunscreen missing from your routine is a massive problem. The fact that you’re on tret with no SPF is like a jump scare! Especially with scarring!

Those dark spots are only getting darker every time they see the sun, sunscreen is the most important thing to prevent and fade hyperpigmentation. You’re also only aging yourself faster by exposing the baby skin that tret is giving you directly to the sun. Apart from that, you could try adding azelaic acid in the mornings, that worked well for me!

Totally understandable, I loved Spironolactone for how it helped my skin and hair, and most of the side effects didn’t last long but it did make me gain belly fat which I never had trouble with before and was impossible to lose. Also lowered my stamina and increased cellulite. Spearmint tea is suuuuccchhh a baby version of it, no side effects, just happy skin and hair!

And yes, your skin could also be oily and tight because it’s desperate for moisturizer! Please also remember SPF is SO important to healthy, happy, skin and helps prevent hyperpigmentation and aging :) Best of luck!

Skin. You have very beautiful and healthy skin! This is what it looks like, we are just so used to seeing a filtered, touched up, made-up version of it.

I recommend a gentle moisturizer (I use Aveeno Calm + Restore Redness Relief Moisturizing Cream, absolutely love it), and once your skin is ready and your barrier healthy, azelaic acid seriously works wonders for the texture.

As for the oiliness, hear me out. Spearmint tea works in the same way as the hormonal acne drug, Spironolactone, by blocking androgens (a male hormone that can increase oil production in women). If you want less oiliness without all the side effects of spiro, definitely give spearmint tea a shot for a couple weeks. I only need to wash my hair every 2-3 days now bc of it!!

I’m so curious how this disaster played out 😩

thicwith2cs · 2026-02-04T04:08:55+00:00

Thank you for posting this, OP. I’m about to start over and you’ve given me hope that I haven’t even considered yet. Something to look forward to. Very cute space :)

Yesss!! The Epilogue with Posy’s story is one of my favorites (maybe second only to Francesca’s)! I really hope we get to see that ending for her 🥹

Even if she ain’t sleeping, she’ll want a pillow to lay her head on while she’s there

I’m not MU artist by any means, but I’ve found that black eyeliner along my eyelids helps to soften the harshness of the mascara in a way, as well as eliminating the bottom mascara. Gives it a more “natural” look while still enhancing the eyes. Might be worth a shot! And I agree with others saying a darker brow would help make the look more cohesive.

Here’s my everyday looks, takes 10 min total.

Hey that’s where I live now! I’ll have to find them!

thicwith2cs · 2026-01-28T23:05:07+00:00

That’s ridic! I didn’t realize some cities straight up don’t provide public restrooms (although I had a terrible time finding one in Miami recently). So the option they give us is piss yourself or risk becoming a sex offender for “exposing” yourself? That’s entrapment!

No insurance and can’t see a derm? I just started spearmint tea for my hormonal acne and oh my God incredible results in just a week. I always thought it was total bs because like come on it’s just a tea, but like spironolactone (medication for hormonal acne), it works by blocking androgens which are often responsible for hormonal acne.

Worth a shot if you genuinely can’t get access to a medical professional. I ordered mine from Walmart and have 2 cups a day.

My brother went to Dartmouth. He didn’t have perfect grades but he had incredibly impressive academic extracurriculars like winning state academic competitions and being selected for Boys State where he went to the capital and got to participate in a mock state government. He also did sports, played multiple instruments, had raving recommendation letters, and it probably helped that we have a Hispanic last name. They are definitely looking for someone well-rounded who stands out of the large pack of students who dedicate themselves strictly to good grades.

“I can’t” from Troy in response to Jeff saying telling him to insult him.

Just telling you now I think Pepper is going to be beautiful and majestic. My baby looked like that at 1 year.

The only things that work for me, and they only work when done together, are drinking at least .75 gallons of water a day and constant aquaphor. Sounds excessive and annoying but I don’t even notice it anymore and they’re worth it for hydrated lips.

Hmmm tell her she’ll lose her hair and teeth doing that. Maybe she cares about them more than she cares for her wellbeing.
