adult acne

how I hate it so, my skin is super sensitive and oily, I break out all the time. On my back, chest and face...sigh

I tried everything, medications, herbal remedies, drinking lotts of water, green tea...

I guess I have to wait till I get older and my skin matures...?

I totally know your pain Michelle, it does suck!!! I have tried pretty much everything to, and although I do find some things help I am never fully "cured" of acne. Have you tried Calendula? Its a herbal remedy, you are supposed to water it down. I don't and although it doesn't cure me of acne, it does dry out a zit really quickly, so it heals faster.

I don't know about waiting. My mom and dad are just about fifty and they still have it. Dad's is worse, and I know I got his. I've lost hope of ever seeing clear skin... XP

whoa...so I'm not the only one who is 22 going on 23 and still has acne....wow...I get mine of my face...but nowhere else really...my back isn't so bad

okay...so...odd thing is...I haven't been on this website in awhile...but my boyfriend brought up my acne the other night (plus he has a dozen other reasons why I should change)...and we got in a fight and broke up because of it...because seriously...a guy should love you for who you are....

....so my point..it's sad that so many people in the world care SOOOO MUCH about looks...it's rediculous

...btw everyone I was told for some females your skin complextion changes once you have a child...I am hoping mine does.

My sister had acne on her back...I'm not sure if she still gets it or not...

but I have found that it helps if you have shorter hair...like my back seems so much more oily when my hair is long than shorter...and I think you have short hair...don't you michelle?

Michelle, you can get Calendula at a health supplements store. I got mine from a store called Natural Solutions, its sort of like a GNC but instead of bodybuilding supplements its all holistic stuff. You should be able to find a store like that pretty much anywhere...

I'm not really an adult yet but I'm 13 so hey I feell your pain! I hate breakouts...anyways, I used Noxema and it worked really well, I also got just some mask I don't know what it was called but it like...heated up on your face? Or something, but it really cleared up my breakouts.
