I've tried everything from changing cleansers, moisturisers, diet, vitamins etc.<br /><br />Have recently been to the doctors about it and they gave me a benzoyl peroxide cream called Duac and it's gone within a few weeks. I didn't want to go at all as I'm not one for taking pills etc but it's worked and my skin *touch wood* is near perfect now!<br /><br />http://cosmeticsshoppingandintoxication.blogspot.co.uk/The CSI girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12531917398363641319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4639764858099441182.post-74538138727691580352013-01-26T22:31:30.962+00:002013-01-26T22:31:30.962+00:00great products )

I agree with Beetourist - for me it's what I eat, not what I put on my face. Skin care products only help the symptoms for me (helping the acne heal, fading acne scares), but if I have even the tiniest bit of soybean oil, I breakout all over my chin. Soy sauce is okay, and a tiny bit of soy lecithin seems to be alright as well, but I've been too scared to try any other soy (tofu, tempeh, edamame) since figuring this out. I had a hunch I had a soy problem, but the way I actually figured it out was to track my diet (in a giant spreadsheet with columns for common foods that cause intolerance - wheat, dairy, egg, soy, nightshade vegetables, etc.) and my amount of acne and I was able to see a link. So, if you're still struggling with acne, it may be worthwhile for you to try an elimination diet where you take out all these common triggers and see if your skin clears up. Then try adding them back in one by one and maybe you'd be able to target the culprit (if it is food). You can also get bloodwork done to test for food intolerances, though I haven't tried this (a friend has though, and she found out eggs were causing her migraines).<br />I know that probably sounds like a big hassle, but it could be worth it for you. Funnily enough, I had my first and only facial a few weeks ago, and the facialist saw my pattern of acne scars and acne and immediately asked if I had digestive issues. I explained my finding about the soy, and she said she wasn't surprised at all. She said there are 6 main inflammatory foods - soy, peanuts, wheat, dairy, beef, and corn - that are common acne triggers which usually cause acne around the mouth and chin. So maybe those would be a good place to start? Or maybe you should treat yourself to a facial with someone who has a holistic approach to skin care and they might be able to give you some guidance?

She put me on differin (kind of like a retinol), clindatech (a topical antibiotic) and switched me to a new pill for hormonal reasons. My acne cleared up within two weeks and I haven't had a spot since. Maybe you don't need to go to a dermatologist, your GP may be able to offer you a cheap and easy fix. Obviously everyone's skin is different but it is worth a shot.

I think it is unlikely that several hundred pounds worth of facial treatments can offer long term help for what is a hormonal skin condition.<br /><br />I think you might have more luck changing what you put in your skin than what you put on it. If you are taking hormones, try stopping or changing your prescription, if you are not, some kinds of hormonal birth control are known for being effective in treating acne. <br /><br />Stepping away from hormone medications entirely, it could be a food intolerance which is making your skin flare up, common culprits are dairy, artificial sweeteners, some meats. It might be worth trying excluding possible culprits one at a time from your diet for a few weeks at a time to see if there is improvement.<br /><br />Vitamin B is often taken for skin problems but it doesn't work for everyone. I'm sensitive to vitamin B so I get initially fewer, then many many more spots when I take it. I'm especially sensitive to nicotinamide (vit B3) spot cream like freederm gel which works for a couple of days then brings me out in enormous breakouts. <br /><br />I really hope you find out what it is and your skin recovers!

I was put on Accutane at a young age, as my mother had terrible skin her whole life and didn't want the same for me. Still it was a harsh medication, and completely changed my once young oily skin. Now I am combatting with adult/hormonal acne as well, and I rely on my own research than the dermatologist because any topical treatments I got from the doctor ended up losing its efficacy after a couple months use. The process is so frustrating, but I am grateful that I realized doing my own research has taught me so much about skin. It's an ongoing struggle though -- I wish the perfect remedy existed but unfortunately...I don't think it does. xLindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16104335569975338230noreply@blogger.com
