My Experience of Acne Reviews

Being 16, Im still in the midst of my acne years. Like almost every other teenager, I hate acne and get hugely destressed when I have a breakout of any kind. For the past 4 years or so I have had spots appearing all over my face, neck, back and chest. I wouldn't say that I have really bad acne or anything, but still bad enough for me ...  Read the complete review

Ok, well i'm going to put an entry in this long forgotten category. It's a subject that's close to my heart and if i can help one other person by telling them my experience then this will have been worthwhile. I'll start from the start. When i was a teenager i had the most beautiful soft smooth skin. While my friends were ...  Read the complete review

Well where do I start? I surpose this is a really hard subjet for me, and I'm sure any other person who has had acne or still suffers from it would feel the same. It takes over your life. Well I found it did any way.Let me begin so you can understand. It all started at the age of about 14, I started to get afew spots here and there ...  Read the complete review

Acne, depressing and embarrassing yes, but try being a teenager at the same time! DISASTER. I am writing this op with my good friend Sarah: We are both 14 and suffering from acne, admittedly it is not as bad as it could be, but it is bad enough to bring us down and lower our confidence (which could be a good thing because we were already ...  Read the complete review

This is a subject which I am somewhat familiar with. I have never been a sufferer of Acne as such, but over the past two years I have been prone to spots. All through my teenage years I had lovely clear skin, with not a blemish or blackhead or white head or bluehead or whatever to be seen. I revelled in the knowledge that while everyone else was ...  Read the complete review

I'm only going to keep the moaning to a bare minimum, as i don't want to burden you all with it, that's what my lovely music teacher's for! (bless 'er)! So, acne, how was it for me? How IS it, i still have it, I wash more than any of my friends, they call me bugs, because i eat so healthily (like a rabbit!) and yet, i still; ...  Read the complete review

Aaargh. This is something I find really hard to talk about. You know when people say that all teenagers get spots? Well it isn't true. At least from where I am standing and look around and see crowds of unblemished skin. Or one of my friends will complain "oh I've got a spot", when all they have is one minute red pimple on an ...  Read the complete review

My husband is 37 and he has suffered with skin problems since he was a teenager. As a result he has been taking medication continuously for several years. Periodically he tries to reduce the amount of tablets he takes, but this only causes his acne to flare up. He goes to his GP regularly and has been prescribed various tablets, creams ...  Read the complete review

This section already contains some personal accounts of members who have coped with skin complaints; I’d like to use the opportunity of this article to put ...  Read the complete review

Unfortunately, I would call myself somewhat of an expert on acne. I used to hate that word. ACNE. As a teenager I found it a lot easier to say 'spots' or 'bad skin'. I hated the bits in cartoons when they showed a box with the similar word 'Acme' (some US manufacturer's name, I think) on it, and I would cringe inwardly thinking that everyone ...  Read the complete review

Look around you when you're next on a bus or train. What do you see? Chances are you'll see a couple of people with acne spots. They might be teenagers but they could even be people in their forties and fifties. In fact more people than ever are seeking acne treatment well beyond adolescence. When I was fourteen I started to get ...  Read the complete review
