Question by Jack: Ladies: How much of a turn-off is acne to women?
Specifically college-aged girls? I’m 19 and I still have a considerable amount of acne. I’m really self-conscious about it even though I am actually a good-looking guy on the rare occasion that my acne takes a break.

Pretty big turn off, at least for me. You can take prescription meds for it that work WONDERS. Speak with your doctor.

How much is my Retin-A doing for my skin?

samlord — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 00:17:05 +0000

I have been using Retin-A Micro and, before that, Tazorac retinoids on my skin to control my acne. They do a pretty good job of that, but I’m hoping they pull double-duty with aging prevention. I know they’re used to correct skin that’s already wrinkled, but is it also a preventive measure? I’m only 22 and am religious about sunblock, but it would be nice to know the retinoids are also staving off wrinkling.

do i use too much acne medicine?

samlord — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 13:37:54 +0000

what i use…

1) in the shower i use a neutrogena black/whitehead prevention soap (orange one)
2) neutrogena WAVE thingy after shower
3) dermalogica “clean start” all over clear spray
4) demalogica “clean start” PM overnight acne eliminator
5) neutrogena on the spot acne medicine

i use these in pretty large amounts. i still have some acne, like 2 or 3 pimples. but they annoy the hell outta me. also, i have a lot of little, acne scars. i use all these products all over my face (on the spots are ALL over t-zone), and it seems to stop most of it. do i use too much? am i drying out my skin?

i know washing face too much causes more acne, but should i be concerned?

ok there is this MASSIVE red sit on my cheek.. impossible to pop, ive tried everything. it doesnt want to go away. so i took this Clean&Clear stuff i have that dries up oil on your face and held it in this spot. it stung a little and now looks white so im assuming it dried it up, but since it wasnt on my whole face, should i worry about more acne appearing?

Also, do I have to order this product, or is it available in stores?
And if you’ve tried it, does it work well?

What kind of acne medication should I try for mild acne? About how much will this cost?

samlord — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 12:14:31 +0000

I have a few big zits here and there, a lot of blackheads on my forehead, on my nose, and a few on my chin, plus my skin gets really red. My friend recently got acne medication and it’s helped her skin so much, she hardly has any pimples at all. However, I’m worried about his cost. About how much would an acne med. cost that would cure the things I listed above?
