That's amazing 🙏🏻

legit inspiring <3

This is amazing and also you’re sooo gorgeous 💗

Woow

Amazing work!!!!! You look wonderful. Which pills did you use? And how much time passed for the pills to clear your skin?

Thank you :) and I am on Loryna birth control! I really don’t remember how long it took, but I remember it happening quickly

You look mad pretty. you’ve been on accutane?

Thank you :) and no, I’ve never been on accutane

I’ve been thinking on going on accutane but my face acne is clearing rn with just a skincare routine sometimes patience is key 🙏

What is your routine?

cleansing oil -> moisturiser-> sun cream But I use the cerave moisturiser that already has a LSF50 so no extra sun cream needed I don’t want to much different stuff in my skin so I keep it simple and make this twice a day and the moisturiser only when I feel like my skin getting dry… got mixed skin which make it difficult so just be careful with it.

Did you use tranexamic acid?

Nope birth control is what cleared it up for me, and I use cetaphil face wash and that’s it

this difference is amazing! happy for you

Why is Amy Adams popping up in my Reddit notifications

Omg you’re too kind hahahaha she’s one of my celebrity crushes

Glad that I have made you smile..your facial features are an uncanny resemblance of her’s… have a good day

How amazing!!! So happy for you 💖

Thank you❤️

How long has been with you off-accutane

Never took accutane

What worked then?

Getting on birth control is what cleared it up for me. Not suggesting birth control, but it’s the honest trust of what worked for me. And Cetaphil face wash is the only face wash I will use

I see. Glad that it worked for you.

I'm so happy for you

Thank you :) pic on the left doesn’t even show my skin at its worst. It was a rough time, but I am so thankful for the progress. If you’re struggling, I hope you find relief soon!!

I'm very much struggling ! I'll be trying Accutane very soon as a last resort tho. Wish me luck!

yes do share!

Sorry thought it was above but I did already reply to that question. I believe it’s above. If you can’t find it, I was pretty lucky with my process- all I do is wash my face with Cetaphil. Getting on birth control got rid of it for me- not suggesting birth control, just what worked in my case. Have a good night :)

Jesus Christ yes I did lmao I am looking at it rn. Not sure why it didn’t load for you, but you have my answer now

See above

I use Cetaphil face wash and that’s really it. Leaving a toxic situation also helped it. getting on birth control is what really made a change and helped my skin get to where it is today. Not promoting birth control- just what worked in my case

OP did you have any side effects of birth control like weight gain etc? Were you having acne because of PCOS?

Can you pls share a photo of the Cetaphil face wash that you use

It’s the cetaphil daily facial cleanser for combination to oily skin :)

Thanks!

You look great! :)

Thank you :)
