question on Retin-A

Tuesday, March 30th, 2004

I have to say I’m a bit surprised that your doctor didn’t tell you
about Retin-A more…Or at least it doesn’t sound like it. Depending
on what type of Retin-A you have (micro, gray, green, etc.) you need
to be really careful with it since it is so drying…
I used to use Retin-A and it was so strong that I could only use it
every two or three days, and gradually work up to where I could use
it everynight which took a good month or more.
Anyhow…I would suggest to quit using it until your face returns
back to where it is "normal" like you’re used to, then use a very
small amount of Retin-A just on the areas you want and then wait a
few days before using it again…

Hope this helps!!!

AKNE ZYME

Tuesday, March 30th, 2004

I have used these pills a bit…I noticed a slight change, but it
wasn’t real significant…I noticed I didn’t get as many
breakouts…I haven’t bought them in a while since they’re not
offered where I live (I’m at college)…But I would say keep taking
the pills until the bottle runs out…Sometimes that is what it
takes, but we tend to get rid of something after a couple weeks
because it isn’t our "miracle cure."

Horrible Experience

Tuesday, March 30th, 2004

Hi guys. Looking for sympathy really with the people who understand
acne. The most horrible thing happened to me last night.

I was out with 4 friends in a pub and a man approached us. I’ve know
of this man and he has been in prison for beating people up so I was
quite cautios around him. Any way he was pissed as as I got up to
leave he shouted ‘You can see the clearasil hasnt been working
Julia’ ‘It’s disgusting your covered in zits.. I bet your boyfrend
dosent like it’ ‘ unless he’s covered as well. I wouldn’t like it if
you were my girlfriend it would make me feel sick’ ‘Your always going
to be covered in spots. I might be fat but I can go to the gym to
lose weight your never going to get rid of your spots’ This was
shouted out in front of everybody if the pub. I walked out in
tears. He really humiliated me with his insensitivity to acne.

Hi, im not on the pill and I’ve never used it, but
what i hear from other people is that you have to take
the pill 6 months before it clears up your face. Good
luck.

Erin–

I am pretty sure that Proactiv offers a money-back guarantee
(probably less shipping and handling) so you can use the product for
the amount of time it takes to see results, and then decide if it’s
helping. Also, you can buy Proactiv on QVC, a television shopping
network. You can buy it on their website at qvc.com too. They offer
the system on Auto-Delivery (sending you new supplies when the others
have run out), and I know that they FOR SURE offer a money back
guarantee if you aren’t satisfied. I myself am a
medicine/dermatologist girl, but if this has helped anyone go out and
try Proactive, GOOD!

Take care,
Karyn

contraception and diane 35

Saturday, March 27th, 2004

hi, i’m on the birth control Diane 35 for my acne, and I’ve been
using it for four months now. So far, I’ve seen a reduction in oil,
but that’s pretty much about it. But I’m gonna keep trying it
because I’ve tried everything else and I’m so tired of trying new
stuff on my face! Is anyone else on this pill?
