I was just wondering what ingredients were in the cranberry cream from face reality skincare.

Are there really cranberries in it? Lol! Sounds like it smells good haha

Haha that's so cool!

How is it working for you? Do you go to the face reality clinic?

Wish I had a good clinic like that here in PA!

I have a pustule on my chin, I popped it and then I put a band aid on it and slept with it on. It looks a lot better now. I have two other papules or cysts on the other side of my chin relatively close to each other and theyve been there a long while now.

No I had to order it on line because its too far from where I live and Im not a driver

 

Your skin's looking a lot better - the pimples on your chin (you made a thread about them once) seem to be completely gone. Do you suppose it's the Aczone that's clearing you?

Yes and my acne isnt gone. The amount I get though has been cut in half. Ive only been getting like two new pimples a day.

I have a zit on my lower lipline. Its making my lips puffy.

True, but the big ones on your chin seem to have healed nicely. I remember when you made that post - "what's happening to my chin?!" - and your skin has calmed down significantly. Would you recommend Aczone? I keep hearing mixed reviews about it.

I would only recommend it for mild or moderate acne. It doesnt burn or hurt my sensitive skin so yes Id recommend it. It wont help severe acne.

Did you have an IB from Aczone? IBs freak me out.

I dont know because I break out every single day

Oh crap! I found a whitehead on my chin very close to that cyst I had injected last month and it looked like it was begging to be popped. I popped it with a paper towel wrapped around each index finger until it bled. I applied ice and now its bulging out

I doubt it. I just fiddled with it for half an hour until I finally put olive oil on it and a band aid

Hey Molly, just a quick question... I just got prescribed Aczone too, what's your experience on it been like? Sounds like you're doing very well on it if it's halved your acne in just two weeks. Did you get an IB or anything like that, or did your acne start calming immediately? Thanks!

For me there is no such thing as an inital breakout. I get new breakouts every single day. I still am not happy about my skin being red. I feel so ugly

Even though I picked the hell out of one of my pimples the other day, it is not forming a scar.

Today, I see such a difference in my skin! My redmarks are fading because Ive gone back to my fave cleanser, SkinCeuticals Clarifying Cleanser and then when it gets to be winter again, I will use my MD Skincare cleanser. I also havent had a terrible reaction to jojoba oil like I did the last time. I think the reason I had problem last time is I didnt wash it off. I left it on over night. I use the jojoba oil to remove my make up, I wash my face and then I splash with water and I exfoliate a little bit with my shisheido exfoliating brush.

 

I finished my first tube of aczone today and I just ordered one from my pharmacy before my insurance changes on May 1st.

Hey Molly, I know you've seen improvement with Aczone - how exactly did your improvement progress? Did your pimples just sort of get smaller and drop off?

They are smaller and I dont get as many

lol Mollykins, my mom calls me that! I like being called that, its cute. If you were to know me in real life, I do not like the word interesting though because its a vague word, it doesnt tell me if its interesting in a positive way or a negative way.

You can compress the photo using some sort of editing program. - Microsoft Office Picture Manager does it.

I used "interesting" because I'm interested by its contents lol. (It was either Mollykins or Mollycakes but I don't know you well enough to use the latter).

That still doesnt tell me if you find the contents interesting in a negative or a positive way.

 

I still have this stupid zit under my chin. I tried popping it yesterday until blood came out and then I stopped. It a pustule that wont go away. I dont know why. I applied a sea salt compress to it about an hour ago. Hopefully it will go away. I got a new whitehead on my chin, fortunately its very small
