blasphamy grrrrl its as pure as you were exiting the womb.
pure what i dont know but it is all i use because my skin is sensitive to perfumes, dyes and certain moisterizers and since ivory has very little of those it works best for me. my wife just got ne a $12 bar of some stuff called nu skin that has little fragerence and dyes

Depends where your at.. on cycle or off.. I usually take some arimadex for a week or two during my cycle if my acne gets bad, and when I'm off and I still have it then I take the arimadex for a week.. been my bread and butter.. just drink lots of water and try to hit the tanning bed..

Yeah, you have to have a prescription in the States.

look at ab for isotretinoin $40... sides can be horrible though.. You would probably be better off w/ a topical... ziana (clindamycin phosphate 1.2% and tretinoin .025%) works awesome but is pricey.. It's topical, so if dryness occurs u quit using, where as pill form is in your sysmen and drys out entire body including spinal fluids and joints/sockets... It is commonly prescribed to women, but i hope u have insurance. Smile

i have boxes of that stuff. all samples that get dropped at the derm. i just did some quick research and the company that founded it stopped because of lawsuits but you can still get it other ways. "through pharmacies" the article said. but yea i still canget it locally.

Looks like Accutane is just a trade name for isotretinoin. Isotretinoin is heavily regulated by the FDA. Dermatologists can still prescribe it, but it looks like they have to "register" their patients.

I went to the derma about two weeks ago and the first option we talked about was Accutane. Weird...are there different types of Accutane?

other then going to the dermatologist is there any other way to get Accutane or something similar? I have just used cetaphil and went tanning in the past but god damn test is kicking up my body acne

For over the counter, you want to look for something with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid as active ingredients in it. My skin has always responded better to benzoyl peroxide but you may want to try both. Avoid stuff with "exfoliating" crap in it because that can actually irritate your skin even more.

I just bit the bullet and went to the dermatologist and got some prescriptions. I was clear in a few days. Also, if they do prescribe you Accutane (probably won't unless your acne is pretty hardcore), they'll do regular blood work to make sure you're not getting fucked up. I tried it and my cholesterol shot through the roof so I had to discontinue.

I'm only a few years behind you and have had it all my life; increased while on.

Have never thought that the wheat or dairy could be behind it (I don't eat soy). Giving up dairy would be a bitch for me :(
