Checking in. Still loving the oil cleansing method. I may switch some of my oils around, just to change things up a bit.

I am so FED UP with my skin.
I can't take it any more! I've been crying for hours because it's just horrible.
It clears up, then I break out. Again and again and again!
I've tried mychelle, raw honey, lemons, black soap, chagrin valley soaps, etc.

Nothing works! Even the stuff that normally works (raw honey & lemons) aren't doing ANYTHING. I have a lot of acne, black heads all over my cheeks, hyper pigmentation. I hate it! I can't leave the house without makeup.

I wanted to stick with natural stuff but it's just not working. I'm going to college in a few months and I refuse to be depressed about my skin.

Looking into different things now, idc if it's not natural, I just want something that WORKS.
lookin into proactive, SKII, some organic honey line I can't remember the name of, aquamoist, missha, naruko.

I have given up trying to keep adult acne away there is honestly nothing that I can do naturally or with other products that work. I have the kind of breakouts that are due to hormonal imbalances, I break out before and after my cycle. I form big static acne that is worse than what I had as a teen. So the dermatologist will see me more often this summer.

I get the bad period breakouts too. It sucks. I've just been trying to de-stress and drink more water. That seems to be helping a little. I also used this stuff called Tazorac (might've spelled it wrong) its a steroid cream. I only use it on my breakouts as a spot treatment. It works pretty well.

Aww I've been there before. Tried proactiv, black soap, a heap of natural stuff, and I almost did accutane. Acne is really frustrating but you have to be patient. Maybe you should start slow and see a dermatologist. They can put you on a plan and cut down on the number of products you use. It seems like you've used a lot. Hope this helps.

Thank you. I was thinking of seeing a dermatologist, but got scared away after hearing horror stories about certain things they prescribed.

I don't know. I've wanted to try Naruko products for some time now, so I think I'll try their tea tree line.

If it doesn't work out, I will definitely see a dermatologist.

Okie dokie

I just realized that the Olay reginerist serum is causing my blackheads (everywhere, aside from my nose).
I tried using it AFTER my skin got used to other products, and I just realized that I only get blackheads the day after using that serum.

That's unfortunate, but at least I know. I'll let my sister or mom try it, it might work better for them.

And I settled on Naruko's Tea tree line & a Sibu day cream.
Plan on ordering them soon.

Ok I normally only get eczema on the back of my neck during the summer. But this year I have on my neck ave around my mouth. It's not very noticeable on either spot. But the spots around my mouth feel very tight and dry. Does anybody have any product recommendations?
