CAN WE FUCKING STOP THIS ACNE SHIT NOW? I'VE HAD IT FOR 7 YEARS. I AM SO FUCKING OVER THIS CHAPTER OF MY LIFE AND WANT TO MOVE ON.
I tried literally everything >accutane for 10 months >years of benzoyl peroxide, tried never using it too >nofap >no gluten >no dairy >no sugar >no processed food >anti-inflammation foods, fish oil and other supplements, high vitamin C dose >sun exposure, no sun exposure >washing face a lot, washing without soap >changing pillow case daily >exercise and walks daily >laser peels >sleeping more, sleeping less
FUCKING EVERYTHING. FFFFUCK CUNT FUCK
Only thing I haven't tried is literally being a soyboy >there are androgen receptors in the base of the oil gland and also in the cells that line the pores. If there are high levels of testosterone and DHT floating around the body, they are highly capable of binding onto these receptors. To put it simply, when these hormones attach to the oil glands (receptors) in the skin, they trigger the gland to produce more oil as well as feed the bacteria and then an inflamed acne lesion is well on its way to surfacing. So, by lowering androgen and testosterone levels in the body, the skin will not produce as much or no acne
Fuck this gay earth. So do I try to eat more alkaline food or some other meme or do i just become a qt trap with a huge jaw before taking a shotgun to the head
>accutane for 10 months What was your dosage? I guarantee you didn't take it twice a day, cause that's literally the end all solution, your skin will practically fucking fall off so theirs no acne to be had
Ian Gray
user, you seem stressed...
Evan Long
Just be confident bro
Evan Russell
Yeah. As if it wasn't hard enough getting laid with this dumbass shit on my face. Didn't help
Angel Taylor
I think it's acceptable to try makeup at this point.
Robert Perry
Dawn Dish soap worked for me, fuck I just use that stuff for shampoo and body wash now too.
Parker Green
I took it for 10 months straight with varying doses. 20mg per pill, have tried 1, 2, 3, 4 pills per day, both once a day and at varying times. This is around a year after I finished the treatment. First pimples started returning around 6 months after or so, maybe earlier. Can't remember
Logan Hughes
It's genetics, nothing you can do
I have eczema and allergies and it will never go away no matter how much I do
Doctors will tell you the same thing they told me, you can remediate it and lessen the damage but you can't permanently get rid of it
Just want to remind you thought a lot of skin based inflammation isbimpacted by stress, take a breather bud
Luke Bell
I hopped on it twice, first time worked but came back the next year, then went for round 2 and haven't have a breakout in more than a year.
John Diaz
some people are just fucked. I still have bad skin at 23, but my acne never got to that point. I just have oily skin and light red marks that seem to never go away, rarely get white pimples any more. But no matter what I do I can never seem to get clear, clean skin. I heard it's mostly hormones and eventually it'll just go away, but who knows when that will be user. You know those 40 year olds guys who have acne scars but no acne? I assume those are the people who had hormonal acne into their 20's. I know if you don't pop them you won't get scars but what are you supposed to do, walk around with white pimples on your face?
Jaxon Myers
A lot of people don't know how to properly wash their face 1. Wash your face daily, use a scrub twice a week or more depending on skin and how harsh the scrub is. 2. After rinsing your face, use a cotton pad to apply toner (water isn't good for most people's skin, toner helps) 3. Moisturize your face Step two is probably the most important, buy yourself some toner
Jace Gray
This shit is caused by staph bacteria. You also didn't literally try all of that stuff combined. If you did your skin would have cleared by then. Also try fasting for a few days. This thread is a bullshit copypasta anyways so fuck off.
Josiah Flores
Also try retinae instead
Luis Reed
>stress.
Idk. I think I'm chill generally because I don't give a fuck about anything in life that's not related to looksmaxxing and I'm progressing well enough. Sometimes I even manage a few days without having to put put acne cream on. Life seems good. And then a new pimple appears.
Otherwise I am sort of emotional and bipolar and anger is the only thing that drives me to work out and confront anxiety.
Speaking of anxiety, I still get it sometimes. I have learned a ton about being positive and alpha and chill and not even showing body language traits of anxiety, but if for example I'm walking on the street at night and I'm kinda distracted listening to music (plus I have ADHD) and then suddenly someone appears in front of me that I didn't expect, I get anxious. Like I can feel it physically, like these little pricks all over my face. Sometimes the pricks happen like during sweating, but the general anxiety pricks themselves lead to sweating and a huge raise in body temperature. Sometimes they happen at complete random and they actually physically hurt, like "ow fuck". Should I get on meds?
Dylan Gonzalez
Being emotional is stressful on your body, user. You cannot be having continuous emotional swings if you want to be free of acne. Practice mindfulness meditation, read some books, take some time away from the internet. Low dopamine activities would be good for you. You’re gonna make it
Landon Lewis
What the fuck is toner m8. Are you telling me I'm allergic to water? I tried different soaps and no soap. I use moisturizer when I suntan or when I'm feeling particularly inflamed.
How DO i wash my face?
Isaac Barnes
This image makes me anxious I want to pop those
Lincoln Reed
I tried it all. I did not get on the computer for over 5 months. Only use the phone and mostly for passive activities like music and audiobooks and podcasts and Art Bell and Howard Stern. I don't even get on Jow Forums unless I'm having a laugh. Whenever I see crab-barrel posts here I immediately roll my eyes and leave
Skin pH is about 5.5. Water is 7. You're not allergic but it's changing the composition of your face. Some people are more sensitive to the imbalance, your tap water could even be up to 8+ pH. Toner is supposed close your pores and help bring your face pH back to normal
Wash your face with warm water, then rinse with cold water. Once or twice a day depending on how oily your face gets. Use a scrub instead twice a week to get rid of dead skin, maybe more if your face can handle it. Apply toner with a cotton pad after every time you wash with water. Apply moisturizer if needed since some toners dry out the skin. I still get white heads sometimes but my bumpy skin is now pretty much smooth.
Henry Martin
I don't have staph and tried intermittent fasting. A normal fast for me is like 18 hours, max was 50, did NOT fucking help. I can't literally make my life revolve around acne 24/7 although I'm fucking close. And fuck you
Camden Myers
Also, don't leave your skin dry. It's bad in itself but it could trigger your body to over-produce oil to compensate. Moisturize your face and don't using fucking body/hand lotion.
Ryan Gray
Thanks for explaining but I thought a more alkaline diet and alkaline water is good for you because your body was at a higher pH level than neutral and therefore alkaline stuff on your face would also help?
I'm looking up toners and they're basically just alcohol and some meme ingredient. I learned from American Psycho not to use alcohol on the face, but should I just try it? Wash face, apply toner or some other diluted alcohol, wait for it to dry, moisturize?
Jonathan Walker
Same situation going on here. Try minocycline and vitamin A and zinc.
Your acne is caused by overactive sebum glands
Cameron Miller
ZINC + DIM
Brayden Bailey
Some people can handle alcohol-based toners, but since they dry out your skin that's why you moisturize after it. I use Thayer - Witch Hazel Toner, it's alcohol free. It's also my after-shave. My skin is already oily so I don't really moisturize after applying toner most days. But yes, apply moisturizer after the toner is dry
Nathan Butler
Dude I was on accutane 2 years before mine cleared
Charles Roberts
Ok thanks a bunch friend, never tried that before, seems kinda obvious now.
Bless
Logan Diaz
Consume anti-inflamminatory bacteria(raw milk) and god knows that you are an atheist
Isaac Allen
Look up DIY recipes. You can use diluted apple cider vinegar as a toner. Adding in some theatre oil might be good for you
You can even make your own face wash. A good gentle one would be olive oil with some castor oil in it. Whatever you use if only use it once in the morning, then just water wash at night.
If you don't want to make your own then you're probably going to have to spend some time experimenting with different wash/toner/moisturiser combinations. Also, don't just go for the dirt cheap shit from the supermarket. And ignore all the meme marketing around stuff for men, get whatever is right for your skin
Every time you wash your face should be wash-tone-moisturise.
Connor Thompson
You have been infected with nagalase
Aaron Rivera
Does DIM increase your Test levels?
Christian Sanchez
Does god know that I wanna kill him like Kratos? Anyway I'm chill now cuz of the supportive anons

Kevin Cruz
if you take hot showers you need to moisturize. wait about 15 minutes after you get out of the shower and then check your face. with mine i can visibly see how dry it is and moisturizing has helped me
There is your problem tard. You need to fast for days.
Lincoln Garcia
fasting lowers your T levels
Evan Brown
things you can try that helped me: do at least one week long (at least several days) water fast use retinol based product
Samuel Rivera
Drink fucking water for fucks sake
Benjamin Wilson
Better diet faggot. No dairy, no sugary shit, especially no soft drinks, test if you got intolerances. Voilá.
Julian Diaz
Drink more water
Jonathan King
I drink a fuckton of water, doesn't help.
Ryder Brooks
Oh yes lemme fast for days and lose all my muscle. I did it for 50 hours once, not willing to go longer. Fasting for more than 2-3 days is no bueno for muscle mass
Luke Brown
Mine cleared up after, I kid you not, Yi Jin Jing qigong.
Justin Gutierrez
Fermented foods work really well for me.
I also no coffee, no stims, more cardio, and NOT washing face with anything more than water.
Matthew Carter
TRY DOXYCYCLINE.
3 A DAY.
CHECK YOUR THYROID LEVELS AND STAY AWAY FROM ENERGY DRINKS.
SLEEP ON TOWELS
Jason Butler
Bump
Lincoln Cook
rub raw honey on it
Grayson Anderson
>23 >been drinking gallons of milk every week for years >haven't had acne since 21
Haven't got a new pimple since I started NoFap 3 months ago. Fasting now to heal scars.
Lucas Stewart
Drink more water
Henry Evans
>when acne stops my life can start
William Howard
I'm 27yo. Been fapping since elementary school and never had acne.
Nathan Hernandez
dont use cremes, moisturizers shit like that they will fuck your skin up. Companies care about profit and they will do anything to gain more money.
Hunter Torres
What is >water >no sugar intake >veggies every day Check your blood and see what you have low and high and take it from there. Acne is a meme and no creams will help you, its all about diet boyo.
have you tried daily cardio with heavy sweating? clean out those pores by using them. Give it a try for 6 weeks if that does not work try a 2 week water fast. Those who fast often say it has done wonders for their skin.
Landon Hill
I read a literature review that stated 87% of people relapse after finishing treatment, though the relapse % did have other factors, most notably being total dosage of medication and time on medication
Nathan Hernandez
Sorry I meant that 87% are successful with the rest going into relapse.
Ryan Bennett
If it's safe enough for baby ducks it's gotta be good for people
Samuel Ross
I use Johnson and Johnson baby wash. Non-drying, and so fucking safe we use on babies.
Levi Walker
>sister and brother were total pizza faces >they still occasionally break out even after college >mfw I've only had an occasional pimple on my ass >mfw my face is smooth and soft without a >mfw I have no face blemish except for a few freckles Sorry OP, some people just get fucked hard in the asshole by life.
