When I eat healthy (keep sugar and processed food to a minimum), control stress level, get good sleep and use good quality natural oils (my favourite are from Herbivores and Prim Botanicals) I am able to keep my acne under control. Also, drinking adequate water helps with hydration. However, I am not always disciplined enough to stick to this lifestyle but I do try.. always keep trying again!!! When I get acne on my jaw, chin or basically anywhere else on my face I put body shop Himalayan charcoal purifying mask on the spot so that the zit comes to the surface faster and the mask does help a bit in controlling the pain. But this can be a bit drying so I only put the mask on and closely around the zit when I plan to leave it on for long hours. This really helps me a lot.

I'm so sorry. I've been dealing with acne for about 15 years too. I;m 29 years old. My cousins have beautiful skin, and I'm stuck with weight gain and acne. I got rid of acne when I started taking birth control. I had to stop taking it because I'm trying to conceive. My hormonal acne returned. It is frustrating! So I changed my diet to a KETO (no refined carbs, high fat, moderate protein) for weight loss. My skin cleared up, my nails are stronger, my hair is thicker. So now I know my acne is attributed to diet. I hope you find what is causing yours. It sucks, acne sucks because you cannot be your best self.

Honestly, I had bad hormonal acne as well as acne which I believe to be from some sort of digestion issue for about 7 years. I tried everything- from drugstore products to high end, prescription and over the counter. The BEST thing that I’ve ever done for my skin is stop eating dairy and refined or processed food, and drink a lot of water. I can’t even begin to explain the difference in my skin... I have model skin, or “glass skin” if you’re familiar with that term. I also had some congestion, but using a chemical exfoliant (lactic acid) fixed that up within a few days. Also, I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and have kept up my diet, and haven’t had ONE breakout. I drink kefir and will have some Greek yogurt to ensure my baby gets the calcium she needs. But seriously people... if you have skin problems, cut out dairy and watch your skin become perfect.

You reminded me to stop trying to fix my hormonal acne all on my own with OTC products and get back to the dermatologist. Isotretinoin has been tossed around as an idea and you actually hit close to home on my feelings about it and reminded me that if it's necessary...it's okay.

Many of them explain nothing and just write a prescription for the “usual” antibiotics which they probably know won’t work. If you get a demo like this then don’t put up with it. Shop around and get a good one. Ps the thing that finally worked amazingly well for me was Spiroloctane which was prescribed by a lovely dermatologist that took the time to listen to my history of the condition. Game changer!

Thank you Dr for a really clear explanation, I love it. I've tried lots of skincare products for three years. I had a moment that I have the least acne but after months,it start to grow again. May be due to stress and hormonal imbalance. I take Doxycycline right now. But I think it still not work. I still have inflammatory acnes at cheek and jawline areas with lots of tiny bumps. Hoping that one day I got a clearer skin. Seriously, my face is never clear from acne since I'm 12 year old. I thought it was normal but realising that my friends who face acne during teenagers had better skin when it comes to 20s ages,it make me wonder what happen to me actually. :( Day by day,it become worse and it spreads to ears and neck areas.

Sarah all I can tell you is what I read and know as a nurse. Dr. Lim can explain better I'm sure but it is made from grains and is a anti fungal. It also helps with inflammation and those hard bumps under the skin that you get with hormonal acne which is caused from inflammation deep under your skin. Its a natural antimicrobial.

I don't know what the Doc would say about my routine but I've been acne prone around the chin for over 10 years and that's how I got it under control before I also learned about retinoids, glycolic acid, niacinamide and vitamin c which I only started to incorporate in the last couple of years. I now have clear skin and still eat/Drink tons of dairy, I'm not giving it up! 😊 I just wanted to leave this here in case anyone else it is at the end of their tether, my skincare regimen is not expensive but it is strict and maybe it could help someone else.

Neutrogena light therapy acne spot pen is really good for those random pimples. It really does work without drying the skin of used as soon as you feel a pimple coming. I say it's meant for just the odd spot rather than a face full of spots. Also, some people notice that dairy causes their acne. The best ever was acupuncture for me and I literally tell anyone that has this type of acne to at least give it a go. I had tried everything and spent a fortune of products and treatments and salon treatments.

Warning graphic! I'm only a 20 year old female. I have horrible acne on my cheeks and jaw. I've had bad acne since freshman year of high school. It was deep cystic, big painful swollen bumps that would take up golf ball sizes on my face. Even if I didn't wear makeup. Good makeup actually helped dry it up most the time. Not really any problems with normal pimples and I had just a few average black heads. One of my cystic bumbs got infected with staph at 16 and formed a huge scab and a piece of my chin skin literally turned black and fell off and my lymph nodes swole up. I got staph over my whole body after that, probably also because I used to self harm and the infection spread. I had to go to the hospital icu and take liquid silver to get it cured. After that I went to a dermatologist and got put on a pill prescription and used lemon and baking soda scrub. Those were the only things that cleared my acne up. I had completely clean clear skin for a year. Now I'm an adult and it gradually started coming back. I dont wear make up at all anymore, I'm eating healthier and exercising more than I did and drink way more water so I didnt understand how it got worse! Not cystic anymore though. Its different! Black and white heads everywhere and little painful pimple bumbs all over my skin but mostly my cheeks. My skin feels like a braille book! I dont have the funds to continually get medication anymore nor do I want to have to take it to have clear skin. I don't know what to do! I changed my diet, I stopped drinking and smoking, I wash all my things even more regularly and keep my hair out of my face now. It hasn't changed a thing. If anything I think it's made my skin even more furious! Idk what to do. It makes me cry sometimes and I don't even feel like leaving the house anymore. I quit my job. It's made me really insecure. I started hiding purely just because I hate my face. If anyone has anything that will help please let me know.

This was so helpful!!! I’ve never struggled with acne even as a kid I would get a pimple here and there but nothing I would worry about. It wasn’t until I turned 21 ... but this year is when it got bad I believe it’s hormonal cystic acne it hurts I’ve recently started picking my face (i knooow I cant help it at this point) I’ve tried just about everything thinking I could find a cure.. I finally gave myself a good look in the mirror and called a my doctor I have a dermatology appointment Nov 7th. I live in Colorado so I’ve been on Defrrin for 3 months on my own I got it over the counter at my local target and it worked for a bit but it dried my skin but I didn’t care anything to get rid of this pain on my face. The doctors gave me Doxycycline 100 mg and clindamycin phosphate and benzoyl peroxide gel 1.2% / 5% it’s been 2 weeks and not much of a difference yet but I’m praying my face gets better. I’ve cut all dairy out and sugar and exercise 5x a week and taken off a lot of work load to keep me from stressing out. I hope I get someone helpful as you !

I’ve always had adult acne and refraining from makeup never improved my skin and I tried not wearing any foundation for a year here and there and it never helped. I went vegan and years later it never helped. Then this year, the only thing that miraculously cleared up my skin completely was birth control, now I don’t even wear foundation at all! I regret not starting it many years ago instead of constantly using topical skin systems with harsh chemicals. I absolutely love my skin now!

I love your channel. I used to have hormonal acne when I was younger. I was prescribed accutane, and found it really distressing and painful. My lips cracked and bled (as in blood running down my chin) whenever I smiled, my hands and feet swelled up and turned red, and my feet were too painful to walk on. All joints hurt when I was trying to sleep, and I had to slide out of bed very slowly and crawl to the bathroom on my hands and knees. When I rang the dermatologist he denied it had anything to do with the roaccutane, but told me to “stop it anyway”. As soon as I stopped, the symptoms resolved. I went to see another dermatologist who told me I was taking way to high a dose. I wish I had known the stuff can be taken 3 times a week instead of 3 times a day! Skin looked great, though, and the deep cysts never came back. However, any drug that can cause birth defects should only be used as a last resort, so I respect your advice to try everything else first. I wish KZbin and your channel had been around at the time.
