Look, here is my story :
This acne thing has been hunting for like 5 years and more. I'm 21 years old but I'm still having acne problem. I tried lots of way to solve it but none of them works!
When i was 15 years old, I got a real big acne on my face and ended up taking an injection and some pills from Dr.Ting (a famous Doctor in Jalan Imbi). I reached a part when those pills are useless against my acne and I started to consume Accutane for 2 months. After 2 months i decided to stop consuming it due to serious dryness problem and my mom started to give me lecture on How Bad is WESTERN MEDICATION.
When i was 19 years old, I went to Columbia, Seremban due to my serious acne problem again and the Doctor (I forgot the name) gave me some Antibiotic pills. It was really good when i was consuming it for like 6-7 months but right after i stopped it, the acne problem came back again. I lost my trust on the doctor so I went to another Doctor in Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman who gave me some Occutane (He said it's the same like Accutane) and some antibiotic pills but i stopped it right after 2 weeks due to my mom's lecture again! I thought my acne problem was solved but then after a week, it came back again.
Few months ago, I went to see this doctor in Columbia, Seremban. He gave me the antibiotic pills again and i consumed them but the effect was not so good. While i was consuming these pills, I applied Retin-A on my face as well. Last week, my doctor gave me some Roaccutane 20mg, which had to be consumed once in 2 days.
Now, My acne problem is a little bit worse compare to last week, I got them on my face, my neck, and my back. I'm still consuming Roaccutane and also applying Retin-A only on my face. What should i do now? Should i just continue to consume Roaccutane? The doctor said it's a 6-12 months program, what if my problem still cannot be solved? I really, really, REALLY want to get rid of my acne and pimple. The roaccutane is really making me suffer due to dryness.
I really need some advice here. I'm so self low esteem due to my acne problem. Is there any food should i stop eating to help on this? such as Carbs, etc. I know i shouldn't eat oily food.
I have been using Proactiv Solution for my acne problem and it's just marvelous. It works like magic. I have no more severe acne problem. I am still using Proactiv Solution for my daily cleansing & moisturing face needs. You can still continue to use the facial cleanser, toner & mask from Proactiv Solution once you're totally cured from acne. Just stop using the Repairing Lotion.
Should you be afraid that the product does not suit your skin type, try to buy a single loose item & not the whole pack at first.
