If your skin has fallen prey to the Acne Struggle…
Then you probably already understand what I’m talking about when I admit I’d pretend to be sick to miss school when my acne was flaring bright, and red, and everywhere.
I could feel a bad one coming on the night before…. That painful lump starts to form a vibrant red. Itchy, painful, and all over my chin, cheeks, and forehead.
And it wasn’t like I wasn’t trying…
I felt like everyone else looked at me and judged me for not properly taking care of my skin. But I was doing everything I could to keep my acne from coming back, over and over.
I tried all the topicals, acne gels, creams, prescription face washes, 5 step cleansing routines, antibiotics, and then…
Isotretinoin.
Which only served to wreck my gut and severely dry me out.
No matter what I tried, the acne. Kept. Returning.
My bathroom counters were a mess of product and pill packets. I didn’t like to look in the mirror.
