Risks of Prescriptions
Ziana is the hot new acne medication on the market, but it can cause some serious side effects such as bloody diarrhea and peeling of skin in the area being treated. You can also have itching, skin discoloration, and cold symptoms. Why go through those problems when you can find great OTC products that will take care of the problem?
Anti Prescription Treatments
I just wanted a commercial for a new prescription strength acne medication. The person they showed didn’t even have severe acne! It bothers me that so many drugs are being manufactured for things like acne treatment that can have serious side effects when all people really need to do is find the right over-the-counter acne treatments.
Confidence & Skin
My friend’s situation got me thinking about confidence. When my acne was really bad, I felt bad about how I looked and I didn’t like to talk to people or even look them in the eye. I was ashamed of what I looked like! Now that it’s improving and the oiliness is getting under control, I don’t feel that way as much.
Dry Skin & Acne?

Here’s something I didn’t know: dry skin can lead to acne, too. Now I haven’t experienced this myself – everything is still good here. But one of my co-workers and I were discussing acne and she told me that she has outbreaks all the time but she doesn’t have oily skin. So I asked her how that could possibly be the case.
My Friend & Her Acne
My old friend is really going through a rough time and acne is probably the last thing she wants to be dealing with on top of everything else. That’s why I went ahead and suggested that she pick up this acne kit
that I got. Apparently, it’s done wonders for my oily skin and that’s helped prevent me from having more outbreaks. And that has made me happy.
Fighting Acne
I’ve been under a lot of stress lately and that always makes me breakout worse than anything. Supposedly, the stress can trigger some type of hormonal change which causes more oil to be produced by the follicles. All I know is that I really could use some type of effective acne treatment right about now.
The Myth of Teenage Acne
I watched a commercial today that implied acne was only something teenagers had to worry about. I care to differ. Sometimes when I hear women complaining about dry skin I think, “They don’t know how lucky they are!” To be less oily and acne prone would definitely be a blessing.
