Acne Support Group
Having a bad skin day? Year? Life? Join the club. The most common form of acne is known as "acne vulgaris", meaning "common acne."

Hi Everyone,
I just joined the group a few minutes ago, and it is good to know that I am not alone. I am 53, and, up until approximately one month ago, I had clear skin. Then I had my first breakout, which I suspect might be related to hormonal changes -- at least in part. Anyway, my doctor started me on Differin, and I would be interested to hear from anyone who has used this medication. Thanks!
In the last year or so my acne has worsened. I get large bumps and when I try to get toxins out (squeezing) it leaves red marks all around bump, that is overly noticeable to begin with.
I think it is hormones.
It is difficult having a professional career and the first thing people notice is my acne; which makes me think that that person looking at me doesn't take my professionalism seriously. Maybe wrong, none the less
acne is devastating to those that have it - on many levels.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I have tried everything, including prescriptions. There has to be an old remedy from someone's great-grandmother that works. Thank you for reading. Grateful for any recommendations.
'Differin Reviews' and read several posts. Nothing but praise for this product. I am going to try it. Hope this helps.
