My mom is bullying me through this phase and is telling me that my skin looks worse and that what I’m doing is not worth it. But using tretinoin Is my only hope. And I just started, it’s supposed to be like this.

Hi friend, thank you for sharing your experience. 💕 I'm so sorry your mom is treating you this way. Your skin does not define you and I hope you remember this. And yes as you said, your skin gets worse before it gets better on Tret. Good skin is on the way, but no matter what you are a beautiful person. 💜

It absolutely sucks when you’re surrounded by family and friends who have perfect, clear skin. I sometimes catch myself thinking how much happier I would be if only I had their skin. I’ve finally built up the courage to go see a dermatologist next week and ask if Tretinoin is right for me. I wish I could have started much earlier into quarantine to have purged peacefully, but I first wanted to try everything else to see if that would help before seeking professional help. I’m moving to a new city this upcoming January into an apartment with my friends and a new job, and sad to say, but I’m scared of showing them my face without makeup. And knowing that the purge is REAL, I’m trying to mentally prepare myself for reality. Thank you for all the support and information you’ve given to this community. I truly appreciate all your words. I feel like a have a friend who I can relate (lol even though we don’t really know each other), but you have definitely given me comfort. When I feel bad about my skin, I rewatch your videos for words of encouragement, and I feel better every time. So again thank you for sharing your experience.

Thought about quitting multiple times, can barely stand looking at myself in the mirror these days. Almost did quit last week, until my sister-in-law pointed out how much my skin looks smoother and glowy(besides the breakouts). We have a tendency to focus on the negatives so much that we completely disregard any positive aspects about ourselves. Sometimes all we need is a wake up call.

I obsessively check my skin in the mirror and take pictures and find myself wasting hours thinking about my skin. I often wonder how much more productive I could be if I just didn't worry about my skin!! I often think- when my skin is clear I'll do X and wear Y and try Z, but I really do need to live for today.

I felt like I was putting so much mental and emotional energy into the pictures that it made my skin worse... but it cause me to stress about it.

Can I just say that your openness and acceptance that acne will always be part of your life has been like an “aha” moment for me? I’ve always believed my acne and PIH issues would never go away and it filled me utter dread, but your kindness toward yourself that it’s something you will likely have for life has helped shift my own mentality. It’s a part of me (has been for over half my life), and this is just what it is. It’s a skin condition that I can only manage as best as I can. Acne can be debilitating and heartbreaking and downright stressful. I still wonder if I’ll ever get to a point when it calms down completely and my PIH just fades because it’s just been _so_ long I’ve lived with both. Whenever I see another acne-sufferer in public, I feel such a deep compassion and understanding of what they must be feeling emotionally. I’ve had acne flare-ups (and I’ve been dealing with breakouts recently) and because I don’t wear makeup (always afraid it would make my acne worse), I, too, have braved it bare face when my skin was very angry and painful, and the whole time wanting to disappear from conversations because I was so embarrassed about the state of my skin. Basically, thanks for being so honest about the invisible part of acne. No, your family and friends won’t understand, but online community can be so uplifting and encouraging.

Aquaphor is a great thing to have as well if you want to layer that over your moisturizer. For face wash and moisturizer I used the CeraVe hydrating cleanser bar and daily moisturizing lotion and for sunscreen I recommend CeraVe, La Roche Posay, and Elta MD. But yeah as of right now I still break out with hormonal acne and I'm not on any kind of medication for it.

This video couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m about a month and a half into tret and the purge is just so hard. Everyday I think about how I could just stop and settle with the acne I had prior, but I’m holding onto the promise that it will get better! Thank you for speaking about this and talking about the emotional aspect that is very real!

Thank you so much for speaking about it in insta life everyone with perfect skin perfect body. I felt soo alone and wanted to be alone all the time. I stopped going out with my friends and family. I lost my self confidence 😣, I just wanted to hide my face. I was lost but somewhere I found myself. I started taking care of what I'm eating, what I'm putting on my face. I'm glad I past it. 😁 Lots of love for everyone. ACNE IS TEMPORARY IT WILL GO AWAY. 💯

I've been through this for 6 years and right now I'm on my benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin treatment. I'm at my 3rd week now and purging so bad. Thank you for your encouragement. I really relate to the family-related conversations. They really can't understand unless they've been through it. Hope to have that clear skin one day. Much love from Philippines. 🇵🇭❤

THanks for this video. I totally understand how the purge can affect us emotionally having gone through the tree purge myself. I found out I had fungal acne which tret did not help a whole lot. I used tret for a year straight and it did not help my fungal acne. I stopped using tret and began using acne meds that targets fungal acne and my acne was gone in literally a week!

Funny, my name is also Victoria and I’m going through the exact same thing right now. I’m 34 and purging like crazy after having years of clear skin. Maskne has done a number on my skin the last few months so I started Tretnoin. I knew I’d purge, I just didn’t realize how much it would effect me mentally. I get depressed every time I see my reflection. This video popped up at the perfect time.

Yeah I’ve have the occasional zits but now I’m 25 and within the last year I started getting little white bumps all over my chin and cheeks. The dermatologist recommended I get extractions because the bumps were tiny milia. I got the extractions last week and my skin is still trying to recover and I’m starting my third week on tretinoin so it’s tough. And mentally I was not prepared 😭 but seeing other people’s journey with it really helps

I'm turning 20 in a week and I've been on Tret and Spironolactone for almost two months now. My senior year of high school was when I first started getting consistent acne. It's almost always under the skin pimples that turn into bad scabs and compared to others it wasn't even that bad. I got put on birth control for my skin issues in 2018, it did clear up my back acne but didn't help with my face. Two years into college and I had to do something else about it. The texture was driving me insane and I was finding makeup only made it look worse. I went to the derm in November 2020 and here we are now. Currently still going through the purge and honestly my skin looked a lot better before going on these antibiotics. I have been getting lots of pimples near my jaw and chin and I have the texturing on my forehead as well. Waking up each morning and running to the bathroom to look in the mirror has become a new routine. I have been trying to stop the picking also. As you said in this video family and friends have a hard time understanding and I can definitely relate. My family and my boyfriend just don't get it some days. It makes me sad that I pass up life memories because I don't want to leave the house some days. It sucks when you're surrounded by people with such nice skin. This video helped me out so much. I loved hearing about your journey and your insightful advice gave me comfort. I will continue to push through and keep your words in the back of my head. Thank you Rudi

I started Epiduo which is adapelene and bp about a month ago. My derm said to wait 12 weeks before deciding if it works or not, so I just a put a sticky note on the mirror with the numbers 1 to 12 and every week, I cross a number so I know I have x numbers of weeks left. And I don’t allow myself to feel discouraged or question the process until I reach the end of the sticky note. Works for me
