New kid on the block…
Hello everyone! I just wanted to drop a line introducing myself. My
name is Joanne, and I am happy to be here…even though this is not a
fun subject!! I am 32…soon to be 33 years old, and have had acne
for about 5 years. Really bad too. I believe that it is this cystic
acne that you all have been discussing.
I have tried Proactiv, and it seems like every other name brand
facial cleanser out there. I have not been impressed with any. I
also just cancelled my Bare Escentuals membership. I do agree that
the product covered the blemishes pretty well…but, it was so thick
and heavy on my face that I felt like I had a mask on. I (like many)
had absolutely no problems with my skin as a teenager. But, now it
is ridiculous. And, I would rather not have to wear ANY makeup!
There was something in the other posts that I wanted to touch base
on. And, maybe I should consult a doctor about it too…which I
will. I have heard many different stories about Accutane. I am not
sure if I want to take this or not. Sometimes , in desperation, I
want anything that will fix me right up! But, I need to know WHY
this is happening…and what the solution is FOR SURE! I don’t want
to be a guinnea pig for medical treatment. I just want a CURE!!
So, anyways….I will have to go back through the posts to respond
and ask about some of the different things we can do. I am
interested in what everyone has to say! And, you know…it is pretty
cool to have stumbled on a group that I can turn to for moral
support!
Hang in there group!!
Jo~
