Sup fellas, I'm gonna be starting a course of Roaccutane on Thursday if my blood tests are okay. There are a few nasty side effects (to the point where it is no longer available in the US because legal fees exceeded profits), but it seems like many are pretty rare and the more hyped ones like depression are not proven.

Does anyone have any experiences with this drug, or want to know more? Are there any other treatments that have worked out for you?

This sounds like an advertisement.

My advice. Don't shave with a 2000 blade razor(fewer is better). Use aftershave. Wash your pillowcase and bedsheets regularly, make sure to wash your face daily, and don't eat greasy shit.

I used to get acne pretty bad. But I never needed medication and it went away with lifestyle changes.

Also don't eat greasy food like chips, drink water more.

I don't use anything but I don't have clearly visible acnes.

At the end of my hot shower, I put the shower to the coldest setting and point it at my face, only my face and it seems to absolutely destroy spots. I keep it on my face for a minute or more.

This is a personal anecdote by the way, don't know if there is anything supporting this or if it will even work for you but if you're desperate and want to try things out, you should try this out.

Benzoyl Peroxide has helped me greatly.

I started by getting a soap specifically for the cleaning of oily skins and a tube of the peroxide. Regular soaps may actually clog your pores more, so it needs to be one specifically for that.

The process was as follows:
After the washing my face with cold water I gently cleaned my face with the soap and let it dry for a few minutes, using a towel very lightly. Then I applied a thin layer of the peroxide. I did this twice a day for a little over a month until I reached a point where there would be no more progress. After that I just started using the peroxide once a day after the shower for maintenance.

Take a pic of your face now and a few weeks from now. Then post results.

Used to have moderate acne. Face, chest and back. No good. These four small things make it almost gone.

>vitamin A with every meal
>no hot showers. cold or lukewarm
>Sleep with clean pillowcases every night. It's a pain in the ass to wash sheets so often, so wear a clean shirt when you sleep
>eat clean. meats, veggies and fruits

On top of that, using some sort of acne moisturizer helps a lot. So many people try to fuck over the acne with assloads of hygiene products but in the end that shit dries you out. Your body responds by producing more oil than before, which is what the acne bacteria feeds on. A vicious cycle.

People just don't take in enough sulphur these days. For centuries, folk knew eggs and / or 'brimstone and treacle' was a sure cure for spots.

No teenager need get a single spot. But try telling that to the spot cream \ pill companies. They've rather ridicule nature's cure and keep the goyim stupid and chasing their their expensive snake skin oils instead getting the right food.

2 eggs, or 2 egg tarts a day should work. If you have bad ache to start with and want a quick start might want actually acquire some raw sulphur and nibble it a bit. Seriously, its what people did for centuries.

btw if you go for this, you'll also need to eat a few pots of yogurt a day, otherwise you'll fart bad.

If your pharmaceutical medicine is working, check the ingredients, chances are its got sulphur in it.

I have acne. I consume a minimum of 2 eggs a day, and additional dietary phosphorus. I've improved greatly from a topical with zinc and vit a in it. Phosphorous may contribute to some cases, but in my case it does not help. I have high levels of androgen hormones causing my problems.
