Girl I feel your pain. You are not alone. I’m acne prone too. Accutane did wonders for my skin. I thought about microneedling for scars, but after watching this video I’m a bit hesitant. Anyone else have bad experiences with microneedling?
I did 3 sessions and they really helped my skin and especially my deep acne marks you just have to trust the process. but we all have different skin types and it may not work for everyone but it did for me! i’ve also done chemical peels and I don’t really see a difference just makes my skin baby smooth after I peel! i’ve gotten microdermabrasion as well and that just helps to get rid of the top layer of the skin also making my skin feel soft !
@@vanessagalvez7604 glad it worked out for you! I have deep textured acne scars so I wanted to try it. Just scared that I’ll have sun sensitivity, even thought about doing it during winter months. But I really want to see an improvement with my large pores so I guess it’s worth a try
I’m on the same antibiotic and skin routine. The only downside is as soon as you skip a dose or two you start breaking out immediately. Good luck on your journey!! Certain makeup breaks me out as well. Keep us updated!! 🩷
I struggled with the the same thing. Went to dermatologist and tried creams and treatments. It worked for some time and went back to were I started. I then decided to use chlorophyll (add to my water) and drink carrot juice. This is what saved my face. You might not ever see my comment, but I hope you do and give it a try. ❤️❤️
I PRAY YOU SEE THIA COMMENT!!!! Girllllllll I STRUGGLED with acne for YEARS I tried all the home remedies, the vitamins, drinking more water anything you could think of I tried lol. Until I went to my amazing dermatologist, he gave me the same exact treatment you were given unfortunately for me it wasn’t enough I was SCARED to try accurate because just like you I’ve herd really bad things but I was so over living with my acne. I got on accurate and was on it for a year and thank god I did because it is something that I would recommend to anyone with cystic acne. My face has never been so clear! I am left with some acne scars since the acne was so deep in my skin but no breakouts nothing, I hope this current routine works for you and if not I 100% trying accutane. You got this girl! Good luck ❤️❤️
i love how she sharing this! very brave of her i know it’s hard to show ur flaws online especially coming from a instagram baddie she’s the prettiest person ever and struggling with real skin problems hope you actually get ur skin acne remove or notice huge change soon don’t give up ! you will see results soon ! i’m currently struggling with a rash between my breast that i can’t get rid off 😢 it ruins the beauty of my tits i get insecure being shirtless cuz of it
I had the exact same treatment from my dermatologist. Same antibiotics and topicals you got and was also recommended to keep skincare simple and use gentle cleansers only. I personally went with cetaphil. And Girllll let me give you hope bc it was the solution to my skin problems. I was suffering from the same type of acne after pregnancy about a couple years ago. Just stay consistent with the treatment, wear SPF and eat healthy, drink plenty of water and cut out sugars and alcohol as much as possible. You will see results within a couple weeks. I promise you it will get better. Stay positive 🌤️
Aww Elsy I never really comment on videos but I had to. I totally get you. I’ve been dealing with acne for 10+ years and I know exactly how frustrated you feel! Don’t give up, there’s always hope. Luckily my skin is much better now but I remember how insecure it made me 😢stay positive and don’t lose hope ❤
@@vannemedfor like surface level acne scars and dark spots i really recommend derma e scar gel and good molecules discoloration serum. but specifically the scar gel worked wonders for my scars. it’s a bit pricey in my opinion but one bottle lasts me more than a year so it’s so worth it.
I know many of the times we feel insecure about ourselves , we went through alot having a baby is not easy but its the most beautiful feeling there could ever be in this worls and we should feel proud of ourselves , just think about the journey behind the acne . Im just happy to know you dont give up easily , but never feel insecure about you your carried a gorgeus little mini you , for many months , and now you are the best mother you could ever be , there a story behind everything we had to go through ❤️ but soon you will find the cure it not bad to feel good about ourselves either , we are art , and we paint ourselves the way we want to to show up for us . ❤️
I’m on the same routine !!!!! Omg I’ve had acne since I was 11 🫠 and I understand the struggle . I’ve been on this routine since October , I’ve notice a slight difference, I still break out but not as bad & the acne scars are still there but it looks way better 🥹 then it was in October !!! I go back in January, for a checkup & if it’s not making progress she’ll prescribe me for accutane . I’ve cried so much over my skin , not wanting to go out in public settings and hiding behind makeup and pimple patches , I understand the pain that it can bring to your self confidence. I hope this routine helps both of us elsy!!!
Omg elsy I feel you, adult acne is the worst. I cut out a lot of dairy in my diet and some breads and I try to limit my chocolate. I refused to take medication as well and jumped on curology for about 3 months and it helped soooo much, what people don’t tell you is that on curology or anything new your skin purges for about 2 months before it clears so trust the process. Another big bonus for me that I seen was when I took out my birth control! My acne completely went away, I’m just dealing with my scars right now. I hope this info can help a bit. Praying for a fast healing for your skin❤
Oh and another one lol if you’re going to the gym be careful with pre workouts & creatine alot of them that build up a lot of water messes up your skin. Research what kinds of products are safe to take that won’t break you out.
You’re not alone ! I just started clindamycin and retin-a about 2 weeks ago now , for the same problem . EXACTLY the same thing. I felt so down because I legit felt so ugly and also got emotional but trust the process and be patient !!♥️
Im 40 years old and had flawless skin my whole life. After going through something drastic my skin went crazy. It's been 3 years and I still have not found a solution. I have to say that you are inspiring and no matter how your skin looks, you are beautiful! Time heals all wounds and God bless your baby girl she is so adorable. Look forward to seeing more of your journey🥰
you are beautiful no matter what elsy! however i love that your brining awareness to young girls and letting everyone know that this is NORMAL to have acne! all women are beautiful with or without acne!🩷
MY BEAUTIFUL REINA!! YOU'RE BEAUTY & YOUR BODY & YOUR SKIN & YOUR LOVABLE PERSONALITY IS 1 OF A KIND! I KNOW YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR ACNE BUT TRUE BEAUTY COMES FROM YOUR BIG LOVABE HEART, THAT IS FULL OF LOVE TO GIVE & AND TO SHARE WITH OTHERS. ❤💯💯
I used to SUFFER with acne… I did complete a year of accurate and now use dermalogica active cleanser and cerave night cream at night and ponds ponds in the morning.. chefs kiss but skin has a lot of scars from previous years but smooth asf now. No active breakouts just the normal hormonal one when it’s that time of the month. Keep fighting girly!! EVERYONES SKIN IS DIFFERENT!! ❤
Omg elsy thank you for posting this ! I’m 22 and I took doxy when I was 15-17. My skin literally messed up my life, I used to break out so bad to the point where I would skip school because I felt so ugly. I’m older now and now have decent skin. Dox worked sooo good for me, the only downside that WAS MY fault, was that it made my hair fall out because I took it for almost 2 years straight. Now I stick to taking vitamin b5 for my acne and stick to a gentle moisturizing skin care routine my acne hasn’t been the same since!!
I love the Purpose face wash! Its so gentle, it claims to be as gentle as water. It takes some getting used to because youll feel like your skin isnt "clean" but it's because we're so used to harsh stripping face washes
I went through this in 2020. Saw a dermatologist and tried 2 diff antibiotics but I couldn’t handle them. I felt so nauseous all the time I had to stop. I started using PanOxyl face wash and Differin acne gel . These both helped me so much. Fast forward to now, I’m back in the same spot. I have acne laser treatments scheduled , I’m hoping those work. Same type of acne, under the skin painful and scarring again. 😢 no diet change, same stress level, nothing different. It’s so depressing. Hoping the meds work for you Elsy! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. ❤
Thank you for sharing Elsy ❤ I have had cystic acne since middle school & im now 22. Every time i get put on medication, my skin clears but when i get off, it goes back to the way it was 🥲 But something that has been helping is cutting out or decreasing dairy/gluten consumption!
Omg I went through the same thing my acne made me feel super insecure and depressed 😭 I literally thought I was never going to find a solution and I didn’t want to take oral medication due to the side effects and future health but I gave in and was given accutane ! Thank god my skin didn’t worsen before getting better I instantly started seeing results within 3-4 weeks! Best decision I’ve ever made 🙏🏻 but you’re beautiful the way you are ❤️
I feel you elsy! I had acne in high school and I would feel so sad, embarrassed, So self conscious about myself. To the point that I asked my parents to take me out of school 😢 but you are absolutely beautiful ❤
“Period, he said what he said “ 😂😂😂 awww makes me miss the videos with you and Alo. Wish y’all lived closer to each other 😢 . You’re so beautiful Elsy!!
I’ve been on accutane for 6 months and it’s changed my life!!!! I got on it for my bacne and I’m so impressed Drink lots of water wear tons of sunscreen and don’t drink much
u make me feel so much better about my acne🥺 i seen a dermatologist and i got the answers i didn’t expect, my pimples are literally like urs!! i think it’s a sign i need to go on a lookout for a dermatologist. good luck w your medications it’s not easy but u are beautiful inside and out🥲🫶🏻
Giiirlll I’m also acne prone I still wear a mask at work becuz I’m embarrassed. You’re not alone. Please update us if your new skin regimen works!!!! You’re even is not even as bad as I’ve seen or experienced post pandemic so don’t worry!
It will work wonders!! I’ve been on and off with doxy for years. But keep in mind your body will want it and the more you take it, the less it helps your acne because your body gets used to it. It sucks. It’s definitely a root problem and I wish they would give us a solution 💔
Elsy, I was on doxycycline too also was prescribed tretinoin and GIRLLL my skin was baby soft and clear!!! It’s been over 2 years since I was on it but my skin is soft since I’ve been using tretinoin ever since while maintaining a good skin care routine!!! And it’s clear too which is a DREAM 🙏
GIRL!!! you need to try Spironolactone! I was going to go on accutane and they recommended me that instead. And it has helped so much! I’ve been on it for 2 1/2 months. They say it takes 3 months for the full effect and my skin looks so much better. I had got crazy acne out of no where. I thought it was just stress, I never had clear skin, but I never had it bad like that! It took maybe 2 weeks to see a change. But no side effects or anything negative to say about it. Also they put me on adapalene gel which is better than tretinoin because there is no purging or risk of side effects besides getting dry skin. So try those two things if the ones prescribed don’t work out! Good luck ❤
Love the video and happy your getting treatment!! I am medical assistant in dermatology and since you haven’t been on any oral medication doxycycline is a good first option, but should not be taken for months 😭 common misconception is that accutane is not safe- which in my opinion is safer than antibiotics. Accutane is just a very high dose of vitamin A. We love accutane and have soooo many patients on it. Almost all patients only experience dry and sensitive skin as their side effects. Can’t wait to see your progress 😁
Hey girl, my son was on every med u just talked about for months with minimal improvement. His face dried out really bad but kept getting flare-ups. He is now unfortunately on Accutane. Big difference with that med but hoping he can get off it soon just due to side effects. He is much happier. Looking forward to your videos on this. Stay beautiful!
I used clindamycin+ tretnoin with the cerave cleanser and it works like MAGIC. I had the worst inflammatory acne as well and I have PCOS and its literally gone. Just stick to it. Your skin will dry up, just make sure to use a no oil based moisturizer to keep it from cracking your skin because the tretnoin is strong. But I guarantee it works.
Yes doxycycline worked for me too but temporarily. The moment I’m off it, I get breakouts again D; I wish I can be on it forever but you can’t . It’s antibioticS and not really good for you :( What I learned it could be hormonal acne . Search for holistic .. your vitals , what you’re low on vitamins minerals and those doctors give you supplement that supports your body inside . I don’t have insurance so I stopped but I believe that’s the best route. Healing yourself inside 💖✨🦋 I’ve been on acne journey for a long time sis, yes it sucks and hurts but we got this 💪
Girl try the Vivant Skin Care line after your done with your medication treatment, It helped me a few years back when I had horrible acne breakouts from stress! I also was getting many facials and treatments which was flaring up my acne
I struggled with skin issues after having my first son. My skin was always so clear and after my son my skin was so horrible. Went to the dermatologist and I developed rosacea after my son. It was a struggle to find what worked for my skin. Best of luck to you!
You are beautiful no matter what !!! ❤ You have the best personality!!! ❤ Dealing with acne isn't easy BUT we just have to embrace it and believe that we are GORGEOUS!!!❤ Much Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
You will definitely see progresss. I have the same acne and same as you did everything(chemical peels, facials, eliminated dairy, etc). These 3 medications together are AMAZING. i did purge for about 2 weeks but now i no longer have active acne (jaw acne gone too). just be patient with it. it gets worse before its gets better.
i forgot to mention i first took this medication 3 years ago and stopped about 2 years ago. i recently starting breaking out again three months ago and just started the medication again about a month and a half. during the month and a half my skin improved significantly.
Girl that tretinoin by it self is going to do wonders 🙏🏼💗, I remember commenting on one of your videos recommending that! I’ve been on it for a year now and it has changed my life 🙏🏼
My brother used to take those pills for acne and it helped him out so much bc his acne were under his skin too ! Looking forward with an update even though your skin and you are completely beautiful without the medicines 🫶🏻💗
My skin started breaking out all over my jawline after getting off the pill. My dermatologist got me started on Doxycycline, Clyndamicin, and Tretinoin. Once I stopped taking Doxycycline, I started noticing my skin was starting to clear up surprisingly. I was prescribed for more antibiotics, but didn’t want to continue taking anymore so she recommended Accutane but heard some scary stories. I was like oh hell nah since I’m not on the pill. I did not want to risk it. 6 months later, my skin is back to normal but I’m still using the topical medication. It takes time, hand in there momma. Your skin will thank you before you know it ✨
Aw elsy after everything you ben through your still shinning & glowing girl 🥰 im so happy your doing good & being the same bad b.. you always ben . 🙏🏼💙 time heal baby 😘
Good luck mama!!!! I'm sure you're acne will clear up, I've had acne all my life since I got my period however now I just have like the scars I don't break out, however I never had cystic acne only break outs however they were all over my face. I do take care of my skin and I think age has helped.
Elsy, you’re still beautiful inside and out. Acne or no acne!!💗 My skin used to be like yours too after I had my son and I started exfoliating/lightly scrubbing my skin with a body scrubber and just water. Then I use my face cleanser and it has been working for me!
Aww I went through all those prescriptions sadly 😢 but it turned out to be very helpful! Although at times I did experience burning and dryness, don’t give up! You got this girl😁 You are beautiful ❤️
Hi Elsy!! I actually am prescribed to those medications as well. I’ve been using those products for years now. I would just recommend to use only a small amount (pea size) of the tretinoin cream during the night since it can be drying for the skin. Good luck in your treatments only someone with acne knows the struggle.
Try to stay away from makeup and extra cleansers for the 6 weeks I been only washing face with warm water and not wearing makeup I havent broke out with acne in months but good luck queen you got this 💖🙏
Girl I’m going through the same thing. I felt like it was my makeup but I believe it’s my diet. I feel so embarrassed now when before I felt so comfortable with my own skin. I look at myself in the mirror and I cry. I feel disgusted and I’m like you I want to rush the treatment but everything takes time but it’s so hard when it’s your face that is what catches the eye 😭😭😭😭
I have the same acne from a birth control IUD called Liletta. With a dermatologist and oby-gn we figured out the right medication after trying different ones. The tretinonin can bleach wash cloths or clothes be careful. Yes that medication is strong and may cause burn sensation on health skin.
I took Doxycycline for 5-6 months and honestly helped my Cystic acne ALOTTTT. But really make sure you take them with food bc I made the mistake once of taking them without food and threw up and felt so nauseous for like 4 hours 😭
Elsy, you are so beautiful inside & out! 🩷 I used to have really bad acne & cry everyday about it & avoid going out because I was so embarrassed, but I’ve found what works for me & keeps me clear! I was on those antibiotics for years (I always had a stomach ache from them :( ) & when my skin started to clear up they lowered the dose little by little & eventually I stopped taking them. I currently use la roche posay acne wash, clarifying solution, & double repair moisturizer it keeps my skin clear. I also use special towels that are only for my face when I wash my face & wash my pillow cases every week. To keep inflammation down I take turmeric shots everyday & avoid the top 3 inflammatory food (dairy, gluten, & sugar). Hope this helps! 🩷🩷🩷🩷
Elsy you are not alone. Trust me😭 I had hormonal acne and i had acne scars just like you have right now but I drank celery juice (put oranges, apples, celery, and cucumbers into a juicer & drink it every day) & it helped clear my acne in just a few months! I also tried doing laser treatment on my acne but didn’t see any differences. I also got the same micro needle facial & noticed that it made my acne WORSE💔 But I also started using Panoxyl & it helped clear my acne! So I recommend trying Panoxyl and drinking celery juice!! I have acne prone skin but my acne cleared in less than a year! Hope your skin gets better soon!
Amiga, thx for sharing your acne journey. Everybody has different results with these Medications. Will be waiting for updates. Please be careful with the Sun .❤️🌹
I’m so glad you’re talking about this 🥹 it makes me feel like I’m not alone 😢 I have been struggling with cystic acne it’s the worst 😭I’m actually taking the same medicine right now 😭.I hope it gets better for us 🫶🏻🤍
I used to have really extreme acne when I was in my early 20’s and I tried everything. The only thing that worked for me was washing my face with Cetaphil face wash and COOLA Sunscreen Moisturizer. Been using for years since and my acne cleared up tremendously!
Girl I feel you with this acne journey, nothing is helping and I do not want to touch accutane. Learn to love it because I am pretty sure acne on the cheeks is hormonal. I have it on my cheeks severely. I love you don’t let this bring you down pretty🤍
Something that really helped me was 100% tea tree oil! How you described ur acne sounds similar to mine too. Also on my cheeks. I would get it from Trader Joe’s and w a qtip just dab some on. Out of everything I used for acne that helped the most. With scarring too! I also just strictly stick to my basic cerave face wash and moisturizer, that’s it. Being acne prone is so hard mentally, But you got this girl! Hopefully this ones it!
Yes I’m on the same topical medication I take spirolactone pills twice a day. Please do an update ? Make sure the tretinoin you’re very careful Not to put too much only a pea size & try to go twice a week & then work your way up to everyday so you don’t purge
When using the Tretinion make sure to only use it in the night and slather your face with moisturizer because it will make your face dry and peel and make sure to wear sunscreen the next morning and a little goes a long way! I hope you skin clears up🤍
Guuuuuuuurl, Yazzzzzz. Motherhood Kills Our Mexican Melanine & Malasma. I too got acne after delivery. Diet & skin care are my savior. Dermatologist 100%%%%%
My personal experience with doxy was.. eh. My skin completely cleared up and when I got off it my acne came back. Long story short, antibiotics are short term. They mess up your gut which leads to more skin problems. I will be trying tret next. Hopefully it all works out for you ❤
I have the same problem with my acne. I have very sensitive skin that anything breaks me out. I have been using Cetaphil Gentle Foaming Cleanser for Dry to normal sensitive skin. I love it it does not strips my skin. Then I also use their daily moisturizer for dry skin with 15spf. This has been working out for me.
My daughter got on the IUD she got acne like you. Ones she switched it went away. Also she washed her face obviously. But for me her family. I use the nutrogena acne stress the liquid. Every time you clean your face wipe it with a cotton swab. It does miracles. I family tried what you’re saying.Only that help. You should try it
I started having acne nearing 30!!! I get a little on my shoulders sometimes but mainly my cheeks and chin. My naturopath is who helped me but all that’s been done is that I have less acne, still have the acne.
I suffered from cystic acne (definitely the pimples under the skin) and after 2 years I finally went to a dermatologist and got prescribed that whole routine. For MY skin it worked, I have no active acne just a bit of scarring! I stopped the antibiotics I think 6 months after. My skin didn’t react when I got off it and I didn’t even have to be on anything topical after either, however my dermatologist did say I can stay on the clindamycin for morning & tretinoin for nights. Just to feel good about having a skincare routine. I only switched my routine up, once when I was pregnant which was switch to azelaic acid cream at night. But after I was back to tret, and no breakouts. Every skin of course is different, but don’t be afraid to try it. If it doesn’t work for you, there’s always something that will! It’s a journey, but you got this love! You’re beautiful 🤍🤍.
I love natural remedies. I wet my face with water, and then i apply baking soda, Wait until it dries, then rinse it off. If you need more natural facials let me know. Hope this helps. Stay blessed!
Omg this was so damn helpful finally i dont feel alone in this world . Me too , i mever had bad skin before my pregnancy and after i had my child lord it is so hard to keep a clear skin , it could be stress as well and diet but also like if you are going to menstruate . But hormones are also adjusting and it takes a long time for them to adjust . And if you are on a birth control maybe your body is reacting to it . Me myself have never gotten on birth control . But lord i hope things get better for you 🥹❤️i love you watching your videos , ❤️🥹
My skin was so bad with acne it seemed to get worse over the years. I didn’t know how, but these 2 products helped me. Neutrogena rapid clear facial wash & panoxyl face wash. I recommend u give it a try
As I was about to say it’s your food you mentioned diet. I’ve had really bad acne for as long as I can remember and my face is only clear when I steer away from fast food and junk like chips .
Are you changing your pillow cases everyday? Are you drying your face with the same towel everyday? That makes a difference. Change your pillowcase and when you cleanse your face use paper towels. Also try taking probiotics to help your digestion. I was on accutane for 1 month and it fucked me up! They had to get me off emergency because it was messing with my insides. I started probiotic vitamins and started using niacinamide serum which helps kill bacteria and its anti aging and im grateful i cleared up. I had acne all over my face. Like every spot
You are beautiful just the way you are ❤️ I’m acne prone and I’ve learned the hard way to embrace my acne when it breaks out..
Tysm 🥺🫶🏼🫶🏼
Girl I feel your pain. You are not alone. I’m acne prone too. Accutane did wonders for my skin. I thought about microneedling for scars, but after watching this video I’m a bit hesitant. Anyone else have bad experiences with microneedling?

No active breakouts just the normal hormonal one when it’s that time of the month.
Keep fighting girly!! EVERYONES SKIN IS DIFFERENT!! ❤
Omg elsy thank you for posting this ! I’m 22 and I took doxy when I was 15-17. My skin literally messed up my life, I used to break out so bad to the point where I would skip school because I felt so ugly. I’m older now and now have decent skin. Dox worked sooo good for me, the only downside that WAS MY fault, was that it made my hair fall out because I took it for almost 2 years straight. Now I stick to taking vitamin b5 for my acne and stick to a gentle moisturizing skin care routine my acne hasn’t been the same since!!
I love the Purpose face wash! Its so gentle, it claims to be as gentle as water. It takes some getting used to because youll feel like your skin isnt "clean" but it's because we're so used to harsh stripping face washes
I went through this in 2020. Saw a dermatologist and tried 2 diff antibiotics but I couldn’t handle them. I felt so nauseous all the time I had to stop. I started using PanOxyl face wash and Differin acne gel . These both helped me so much. Fast forward to now, I’m back in the same spot. I have acne laser treatments scheduled , I’m hoping those work. Same type of acne, under the skin painful and scarring again. 😢 no diet change, same stress level, nothing different. It’s so depressing. Hoping the meds work for you Elsy! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. ❤

Thank you for sharing Elsy ❤ I have had cystic acne since middle school & im now 22. Every time i get put on medication, my skin clears but when i get off, it goes back to the way it was 🥲 But something that has been helping is cutting out or decreasing dairy/gluten consumption!
Omg I went through the same thing my acne made me feel super insecure and depressed 😭 I literally thought I was never going to find a solution and I didn’t want to take oral medication due to the side effects and future health but I gave in and was given accutane ! Thank god my skin didn’t worsen before getting better I instantly started seeing results within 3-4 weeks! Best decision I’ve ever made 🙏🏻 but you’re beautiful the way you are ❤️
I feel you elsy! I had acne in high school and I would feel so sad, embarrassed,
So self conscious about myself. To the point that I asked my parents to take me out of school 😢 but you are absolutely beautiful ❤
“Period, he said what he said “ 😂😂😂 awww makes me miss the videos with you and Alo. Wish y’all lived closer to each other 😢 . You’re so beautiful Elsy!!
I’ve been on accutane for 6 months and it’s changed my life!!!! I got on it for my bacne and I’m so impressed
Drink lots of water wear tons of sunscreen and don’t drink much
u make me feel so much better about my acne🥺 i seen a dermatologist and i got the answers i didn’t expect, my pimples are literally like urs!! i think it’s a sign i need to go on a lookout for a dermatologist. good luck w your medications it’s not easy but u are beautiful inside and out🥲🫶🏻
Giiirlll I’m also acne prone I still wear a mask at work becuz I’m embarrassed. You’re not alone. Please update us if your new skin regimen works!!!! You’re even is not even as bad as I’ve seen or experienced post pandemic so don’t worry!
It will work wonders!! I’ve been on and off with doxy for years. But keep in mind your body will want it and the more you take it, the less it helps your acne because your body gets used to it. It sucks. It’s definitely a root problem and I wish they would give us a solution 💔
Girl I got on the same thing and it worked amazingly. I had new pimples everyday and this cleared up my skin . Your gonna love it 🎉
Hey girl did you purge?
@@Karla-mu2fg no I actually did not.
Currently just started doxycycline girl first week, i was so hesitant just like you. Cant wait to see the difference in my acne
Elsy, I was on doxycycline too also was prescribed tretinoin and GIRLLL my skin was baby soft and clear!!! It’s been over 2 years since I was on it but my skin is soft since I’ve been using tretinoin ever since while maintaining a good skin care routine!!! And it’s clear too which is a DREAM 🙏
GIRL!!! you need to try Spironolactone! I was going to go on accutane and they recommended me that instead. And it has helped so much! I’ve been on it for 2 1/2 months. They say it takes 3 months for the full effect and my skin looks so much better. I had got crazy acne out of no where. I thought it was just stress, I never had clear skin, but I never had it bad like that! It took maybe 2 weeks to see a change. But no side effects or anything negative to say about it. Also they put me on adapalene gel which is better than tretinoin because there is no purging or risk of side effects besides getting dry skin. So try those two things if the ones prescribed don’t work out! Good luck ❤
Love the video and happy your getting treatment!! I am medical assistant in dermatology and since you haven’t been on any oral medication doxycycline is a good first option, but should not be taken for months 😭 common misconception is that accutane is not safe- which in my opinion is safer than antibiotics. Accutane is just a very high dose of vitamin A. We love accutane and have soooo many patients on it. Almost all patients only experience dry and sensitive skin as their side effects. Can’t wait to see your progress 😁
Hey girl, my son was on every med u just talked about for months with minimal improvement. His face dried out really bad but kept getting flare-ups. He is now unfortunately on Accutane. Big difference with that med but hoping he can get off it soon just due to side effects. He is much happier. Looking forward to your videos on this. Stay beautiful!
I used clindamycin+ tretnoin with the cerave cleanser and it works like MAGIC. I had the worst inflammatory acne as well and I have PCOS and its literally gone. Just stick to it. Your skin will dry up, just make sure to use a no oil based moisturizer to keep it from cracking your skin because the tretnoin is strong. But I guarantee it works.
Yes doxycycline worked for me too but temporarily. The moment I’m off it, I get breakouts again D;
I wish I can be on it forever but you can’t . It’s antibioticS and not really good for you :(
What I learned it could be hormonal acne . Search for holistic .. your vitals , what you’re low on vitamins minerals and those doctors give you supplement that supports your body inside .
I don’t have insurance so I stopped but I believe that’s the best route. Healing yourself inside 💖✨🦋
I’ve been on acne journey for a long time sis, yes it sucks and hurts but we got this 💪
Girl try the Vivant Skin Care line after your done with your medication treatment, It helped me a few years back when I had horrible acne breakouts from stress! I also was getting many facials and treatments which was flaring up my acne
Honestly struggling with the same ! This helps me a lot with my confidence! Thanks love and I pray it heals and helps! ❤
I struggle the same until now, you are not alone. We lovee youuu!! ❤️
I struggled with skin issues after having my first son. My skin was always so clear and after my son my skin was so horrible. Went to the dermatologist and I developed rosacea after my son. It was a struggle to find what worked for my skin. Best of luck to you!
You are beautiful no matter what !!! ❤
You have the best personality!!! ❤
Dealing with acne isn't easy BUT we just have to embrace it and believe that we are GORGEOUS!!!❤
Much Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
You will definitely see progresss. I have the same acne and same as you did everything(chemical peels, facials, eliminated dairy, etc). These 3 medications together are AMAZING. i did purge for about 2 weeks but now i no longer have active acne (jaw acne gone too). just be patient with it. it gets worse before its gets better.
i forgot to mention i first took this medication 3 years ago and stopped about 2 years ago. i recently starting breaking out again three months ago and just started the medication again about a month and a half. during the month and a half my skin improved significantly.
Girl that tretinoin by it self is going to do wonders 🙏🏼💗, I remember commenting on one of your videos recommending that! I’ve been on it for a year now and it has changed my life 🙏🏼
My brother used to take those pills for acne and it helped him out so much bc his acne were under his skin too ! Looking forward with an update even though your skin and you are completely beautiful without the medicines 🫶🏻💗
Elsyy!! I wish you posted more but when you do it’s always good to see you and baby Ehlani ❤
I know exactly how you feel, I went through the same thing. Don’t ever give up!! It will clear, wishing you the best!!
You’re gorgeous! It was so nice meeting you last night at the holiday party. You’re so sweet and kind. 🤍
I used all 3 of these and they worked wonders for me 1000% recommend
i never noticed how much ehlani looks like you with your hair pulled back!😍
My skin started breaking out all over my jawline after getting off the pill. My dermatologist got me started on Doxycycline, Clyndamicin, and Tretinoin. Once I stopped taking Doxycycline, I started noticing my skin was starting to clear up surprisingly. I was prescribed for more antibiotics, but didn’t want to continue taking anymore so she recommended Accutane but heard some scary stories. I was like oh hell nah since I’m not on the pill. I did not want to risk it. 6 months later, my skin is back to normal but I’m still using the topical medication. It takes time, hand in there momma. Your skin will thank you before you know it ✨
Aw elsy after everything you ben through your still shinning & glowing girl 🥰 im so happy your doing good & being the same bad b.. you always ben . 🙏🏼💙 time heal baby 😘
Good luck mama!!!! I'm sure you're acne will clear up, I've had acne all my life since I got my period however now I just have like the scars I don't break out, however I never had cystic acne only break outs however they were all over my face. I do take care of my skin and I think age has helped.
You’ll be fine just don’t stress yourself out and listen to the doctor 💕
Always love watching your videos girly and ehlani on them too she’s cutest
Elsy, you’re still beautiful inside and out. Acne or no acne!!💗 My skin used to be like yours too after I had my son and I started exfoliating/lightly scrubbing my skin with a body scrubber and just water. Then I use my face cleanser and it has been working for me!
Aww I went through all those prescriptions sadly 😢 but it turned out to be very helpful! Although at times I did experience burning and dryness, don’t give up! You got this girl😁 You are beautiful ❤️
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!! 🫶🫶❤️
Hi Elsy!! I actually am prescribed to those medications as well. I’ve been using those products for years now. I would just recommend to use only a small amount (pea size) of the tretinoin cream during the night since it can be drying for the skin. Good luck in your treatments only someone with acne knows the struggle.

Try to stay away from makeup and extra cleansers for the 6 weeks I been only washing face with warm water and not wearing makeup I havent broke out with acne in months but good luck queen you got this 💖🙏
Girl I’m going through the same thing. I felt like it was my makeup but I believe it’s my diet. I feel so embarrassed now when before I felt so comfortable with my own skin. I look at myself in the mirror and I cry. I feel disgusted and I’m like you I want to rush the treatment but everything takes time but it’s so hard when it’s your face that is what catches the eye 😭😭😭😭
I tried all antibiotics before finally doing accutane for mild acne and have been acne free ever since highly recommend
Acutane is amazing! You need it, you’ll love it!!!!
Love all your and your baby girls video!Happy videos helps my anxiety lol 😅❤🫶🏽love ya girls!
Every video feels like I’m there with you !!! 😊❤
I have the same acne from a birth control IUD called Liletta. With a dermatologist and oby-gn we figured out the right medication after trying different ones. The tretinonin can bleach wash cloths or clothes be careful. Yes that medication is strong and may cause burn sensation on health skin.
I took Doxycycline for 5-6 months and honestly helped my Cystic acne ALOTTTT. But really make sure you take them with food bc I made the mistake once of taking them without food and threw up and felt so nauseous for like 4 hours 😭
Elsy, you are so beautiful inside & out! 🩷 I used to have really bad acne & cry everyday about it & avoid going out because I was so embarrassed, but I’ve found what works for me & keeps me clear!
I was on those antibiotics for years (I always had a stomach ache from them :( ) & when my skin started to clear up they lowered the dose little by little & eventually I stopped taking them.
I currently use la roche posay acne wash, clarifying solution, & double repair moisturizer it keeps my skin clear.
I also use special towels that are only for my face when I wash my face & wash my pillow cases every week.
To keep inflammation down I take turmeric shots everyday & avoid the top 3 inflammatory food (dairy, gluten, & sugar).
Hope this helps! 🩷🩷🩷🩷
Good luck on your journey!! ❤
mahsiii for the info! love you girl.
Yes I need to find a replacement for Starbucks aww you and your daughter are so cute reminds me of me and my daughter 💞
Elsy you are not alone. Trust me😭 I had hormonal acne and i had acne scars just like you have right now but I drank celery juice (put oranges, apples, celery, and cucumbers into a juicer & drink it every day) & it helped clear my acne in just a few months! I also tried doing laser treatment on my acne but didn’t see any differences. I also got the same micro needle facial & noticed that it made my acne WORSE💔 But I also started using Panoxyl & it helped clear my acne! So I recommend trying Panoxyl and drinking celery juice!! I have acne prone skin but my acne cleared in less than a year! Hope your skin gets better soon!
Micorneedling is to minimize pores not acne 🥴 bc the needles are poking you to make new skin & it help collagen so helps with wrinkles too.
$kareeeeenn I swear you’re the only TH-camr I still keep up with! From your whispering days with Alo till now❤️ I love how you keep it 100!!
That derm gave you a solid routine I have used all those products before and Tret has been my all time fav🫶🏻
" Hey Siri How Do You Pronounce Chlamydia" 😂😂😂😂
You got this mama 💕my friend was on accutane . She had really dry skin. But hey it worked!
You got this 💕
Dandelion tea & clear complexion Blemish buster tincture helped me so much
Is it weird for me to say that you rock acne like you look good with it honestly
Amiga, thx for sharing your acne journey. Everybody has different results with these Medications. Will be waiting for updates. Please be careful with the Sun .❤️🌹
Hey girl, I actually work with a dermatologist and those are what we would normally prescribe. Hopefully you see results in the next few weeks 🫶🏻
I’m so glad you’re talking about this 🥹 it makes me feel like I’m not alone 😢 I have been struggling with cystic acne it’s the worst 😭I’m actually taking the same medicine right now 😭.I hope it gets better for us 🫶🏻🤍
I used to have really extreme acne when I was in my early 20’s and I tried everything. The only thing that worked for me was washing my face with Cetaphil face wash and COOLA Sunscreen Moisturizer. Been using for years since and my acne cleared up tremendously!
Girl I feel you with this acne journey, nothing is helping and I do not want to touch accutane.
Learn to love it because I am pretty sure acne on the cheeks is hormonal. I have it on my cheeks severely.
I love you don’t let this bring you down pretty🤍
Something that really helped me was 100% tea tree oil! How you described ur acne sounds similar to mine too. Also on my cheeks. I would get it from Trader Joe’s and w a qtip just dab some on. Out of everything I used for acne that helped the most. With scarring too! I also just strictly stick to my basic cerave face wash and moisturizer, that’s it. Being acne prone is so hard mentally, But you got this girl! Hopefully this ones it!
Yes I’m on the same topical medication I take spirolactone pills twice a day. Please do an update ? Make sure the tretinoin you’re very careful
Not to put too much only a pea size & try to go twice a week & then work your way up to everyday so you don’t purge
When using the Tretinion make sure to only use it in the night and slather your face with moisturizer because it will make your face dry and peel and make sure to wear sunscreen the next morning and a little goes a long way! I hope you skin clears up🤍
Guuuuuuuurl, Yazzzzzz. Motherhood Kills Our Mexican Melanine & Malasma. I too got acne after delivery. Diet & skin care are my savior. Dermatologist 100%%%%%
My personal experience with doxy was.. eh. My skin completely cleared up and when I got off it my acne came back. Long story short, antibiotics are short term. They mess up your gut which leads to more skin problems. I will be trying tret next. Hopefully it all works out for you ❤
I have the same problem with my acne. I have very sensitive skin that anything breaks me out. I have been using Cetaphil Gentle Foaming Cleanser for Dry to normal sensitive skin. I love it it does not strips my skin. Then I also use their daily moisturizer for dry skin with 15spf. This has been working out for me.
My daughter got on the IUD she got acne like you. Ones she switched it went away. Also she washed her face obviously. But for me her family. I use the nutrogena acne stress the liquid. Every time you clean your face wipe it with a cotton swab. It does miracles. I family tried what you’re saying.Only that help. You should try it
I started having acne nearing 30!!! I get a little on my shoulders sometimes but mainly my cheeks and chin. My naturopath is who helped me but all that’s been done is that I have less acne, still have the acne.
I suffered from cystic acne (definitely the pimples under the skin) and after 2 years I finally went to a dermatologist and got prescribed that whole routine. For MY skin it worked, I have no active acne just a bit of scarring! I stopped the antibiotics I think 6 months after. My skin didn’t react when I got off it and I didn’t even have to be on anything topical after either, however my dermatologist did say I can stay on the clindamycin for morning & tretinoin for nights. Just to feel good about having a skincare routine. I only switched my routine up, once when I was pregnant which was switch to azelaic acid cream at night. But after I was back to tret, and no breakouts. Every skin of course is different, but don’t be afraid to try it. If it doesn’t work for you, there’s always something that will! It’s a journey, but you got this love! You’re beautiful 🤍🤍.
I love natural remedies. I wet my face with water, and then i apply baking soda, Wait until it dries, then rinse it off. If you need more natural facials let me know. Hope this helps. Stay blessed!
Omg this was so damn helpful finally i dont feel alone in this world . Me too , i mever had bad skin before my pregnancy and after i had my child lord it is so hard to keep a clear skin , it could be stress as well and diet but also like if you are going to menstruate . But hormones are also adjusting and it takes a long time for them to adjust . And if you are on a birth control maybe your body is reacting to it . Me myself have never gotten on birth control . But lord i hope things get better for you 🥹❤️i love you watching your videos , ❤️🥹
My skin was so bad with acne it seemed to get worse over the years. I didn’t know how, but these 2 products helped me. Neutrogena rapid clear facial wash & panoxyl face wash. I recommend u give it a try
Love you girl !!! You super beautiful & doing great your an amazing mom ❤️
As I was about to say it’s your food you mentioned diet. I’ve had really bad acne for as long as I can remember and my face is only clear when I steer away from fast food and junk like chips .
Are you changing your pillow cases everyday? Are you drying your face with the same towel everyday? That makes a difference. Change your pillowcase and when you cleanse your face use paper towels. Also try taking probiotics to help your digestion.
I was on accutane for 1 month and it fucked me up! They had to get me off emergency because it was messing with my insides. I started probiotic vitamins and started using niacinamide serum which helps kill bacteria and its anti aging and im grateful i cleared up. I had acne all over my face. Like every spot
