LPT: Certain foods can trigger severe acne, even bananas. Thought I would pass along a kernel of knowledge gained through much suffering in hopes that it may help someone struggling with cystic acne. For years as a teenager and into my 20s, I would get deep cystic pimples in my upper cheeks under my eyes. I had tried everything short of Accutane including various creams, vitamins like Pantothenic Acid,…

I have looked at so many, I have very acne prone skin and I can’t find one that is the consistency I’m looking for while being acne safe.

Any alternatives for Clinique Acne Solutions foundation post-formulation? Has anyone else found that the reformulated Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup is not the same color it was before? I have been wearing CN 10 as my Winter foundation for years now (with slight modifications for summer). For the last few weeks, I’ve been wondering why my new bottle didn’t look quite right on my skin. Then I found a nearly empty bottle …

Thicker foundation or even concealer like Fenty Pro Filt’r for acne coverage? Hey, I have acne prone skin that needs coverage – my normal routine is to layer Tarte shape tape concealer under my foundation to give me more coverage for areas where I have acne. I really like Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r, for some reason it’s thicker and I know it dries into a different shade but the coverage is really smooth and nothing like I’ve…

Best way to hide acne? submitted by /u/No-Substance-976

Why do they always feel the need to point out my acne? For example in Sephora or any other makeup shop. But I’ve had a worker in Sephora touch my face and point out my acne too. No shit, you think I didn’t wake up this morning and see the acne on my face? You literally have 20 years worth of wrinkles on your face that not even the newest primer or foundation can cover, so why do you feel the need to…

Can makeup make acne scars look worse than they actually are? I’ve read that if your atrophic acne scars look worse with makeup then you’re not doing it right, which I admit I’m not good at makeup. I feel like the more my makeup sits on my face, the more it sinks into my pores and exaggerates my problem areas. It also is a mind fuck bc I have no idea what my skin texture actually looks like. Without makeu…

Seriously considering launching a skincare (acne treatment) brand. Looking for criticism. I have a business idea and I would like others to really criticize my idea / ground me to reality because I’m not sure if my idea is crazy or not. When I was a teen, like many teens I used to suffer from acne. I tried products like Proactiv and found them to be expensive, tedious (too many products/routines to follow), and results were ok but no…

LPT: Struggling with acne still? Use a fresh and clean face cloth (every time) to dry your face after you wash it/shower Idk if this is common knowledge tbh. I always see people talking about changing pillow cases or sleeping with a clean towel over their pillow to prevent acne but I feel like I never see anyone talk about their towels? Towels harbor soooo much bacteria and ever since I’ve started using a clean towel every single time I wash my face (Just got a pa…

Best concealer & foundation for cystic acne?? I’m currently using the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation and while it is one of the best foundations I’ve tried, I find that it completely slides off any cystic acne that I have and I have to very carefully cake it on to get any coverage on my acne. Does anyone have any good foundation/concealer recommendations for those with cystic acne? …
