Sticking with it!
I just wanted to say that I am sticking with my normal regimen. I am using panoxyl benzoyl perozide 5% and Kiss My Face Alpha and Aloe, fragrence free, oil free moisturizer, which is 5% Alpha Hydroxy Acids. This works okay for me. I am also going to start eating more fruits, foods, and supplements with natural plant estrogens to counteract some of those androgens. Hey, its not as bad as it was when I turned 18, which is when male sex hormones peak in males. I am about to turn 20, so it should be over by the time I turn 22. It could be a lot worse. My uncle had it bad when he turned 18, and I mean everywhere bad. Every area of his face had pimples on it, cheeks, head, chin and all. It got better when he turned 20 and by the time he was about to turn 21 it was over. My acne is definetly hormone related, so I will treat it skin wise, and use diet to counteract the androgens, but I am going to stop stressing over it, and just wait it out.
