I'm 24 and I've had acne since I was 11. If anything it's gotten worse as the years went on. Not only do I have acne but I have very sensitive skin. Because of this Salcylic Acid breaks me out even more. Proactive did the same thing. Benzyl Peroxide sorta works but it has never cleared up my skin. When the dermatologist gave me oral medications I would get so sick on them I could't give them time to work. Then I had a doctor give me some creams and such that ended up costing over 200 dollars. Still no luck.
I suppose it doesn't help that I'm obssessive about popping my zits. If I didn't have them I wouldn't pick so much.
Another problem is that my skin is flakey all of the sudden but it's flakey AND oily.
Please tell me someone somewhere out there has this problem or has had this problem and knows how to fix it. I'm going to be getting married soon. I don't need acne. I've heard about blushing brides but not zitty brides.
 
After dealing with skin issues for a looooooooong time. You get ance or you don't, you have good skin or you don't. And all the cremes, lotions, acne fighting treatments etc... Are for acne management. At the end of day if you were stuck on a desert island with 10 people and had nothing around but ocean water to wash your face with, Some of those people are going to break out and some of them no matter what they do just won't. Your skin is your skin that's the conclusion I have come to after dealing with skin issues for a long time.
 
ok stop picking. try pure tea tree oil for breakouts. witch hazel to calm the redness. i love the st.ives apricot scrub for sensative skin, the dead sea etre brand, or olay for sensative skin wash, and aveeno moituriser. these are awesome.:wave:
 
One thing that really makes a difference for me is not drinking soda. If I drink a soda, I will break out! It happens every time, and I know it's going to happen. So if you drink soda regularly, try stopping and see if that helps.
