Nah, I'm thinking you're just retarded.
Severe acne is genetically linked to coffee/tea consumption. It's meant to signal that your ancestors worked long physical jobs which required caffeinated beverages, and thus are unfit in modern society now that we have moved to complex, nonphysical work. It's evolution before our eyes.
I used to have acne, not that bad though, maybe 1/4 that bad. Hormones play a role obviously and that can be affected somewhat by bad diet etc, but one of the major things to avoid doing is getting dirt on your face. If you need to touch your face then wash your hands properly first, and wash your face once a day, and change your pillow case every other day is important too and just avoid touching your face with anything. Sounds obvious I guess but I didn't really consciously try to do it until my late 20s but it helped a lot. Before that I might squeeze a pimple or something with dirty hands which just gave me more pimples in the surrounding area. I did manual labor work for a bit too and I noticed my acne got a fair bit worse during that time and I think it was because I was constantly touching my face throughout the day wiping away sweat and stuff with the back of my hand, what I should have done was take a clean handtowel or handkerchief to work every day and used that instead
Maybe yeah, but zits/pimples are caused by the oils of your skin or dirt etc getting trapped in the hair follicles which causes the surrounding area to become inflamed. If there was no oil or dirt or dead skin cells on your face you wouldn't get acne, though that is easier said than done
>If there was no oil or dirt or dead skin cells on your face you wouldn't get acne, though that is easier said than done
Yeah, pretty much. Nobody is trying to convince acne chuds to wash their faces with soap and water multiple times a day.
Instead they get told facewashing is bad. "It will dry your skin out and cause more acne!" "You have to pay for special creams or pills or whatever."
You are stupid. I had that exact experience. Washing my face once per day (twice if you count showers) was better than when I was washing it 4 times per day. The only acne products that helped were accutane and shea butter black soap. All the expensive bullshit is a scam

Depends on the person, but in general I think it is good practice to wash your face once a day, maybe in the evening as opposed to morning

>accutane
you might as well just microwave your testicles
Also look at suicide risks while on accutane, it’s no joke.
Layering more chemicals on top of a problem that is caused by exposure to harsh chemicals.
This solution sounds like it was invented by a businessman. Most stubborn acne is caused by hormonal imbalances (directly tied to poor diet, lack of proper exercise, and masturbating too much or too little) >muh ancient Egyptians recorded acne in Pharos
Mfw the Pharos were lazy unhealthy chronic masturbators
>they get told facewashing is bad.
yes it is bad. when i washed my face too much i'd get flaky dry patches around the T zone that would take forever to heal, and that i couldn't apply moisturizer either as that was still acne prone skin. thank god that shit is over, it feels really crippling to live like that.
Acne is autoimmune.
Allergy to substances produced by your own body.
It's caused by too much hygiene in formative years.

me too. i was forbid from eating what i liked during formative years, but now i have no acne anymore and i make my own food. i have steak everyday, smear the pan with butter, pan pizza every other day, fries every other day, soda every single day, i buy chocolate in large bulks (2kg or more) every month
It's like the mith about eating chocolate and fatty foods cousing pimples fore some people nothing helps. I washed my face 10 times a day before school, lunch break, free period after school every cream lotion tea , special diet, a butt lode of money with little or no resolt .dermatologist, The only thing that helped was antibiotics a little not anough to get a date or blend in with normal people fore a select few nothing help your fucked.
not randomly. it's not natural that this happens. must be what you're putting in your body. also all the creams and 'skincare' shit just fucks up your skin. skin should self-regulate. women need 'skincare' because of how makeup and the repeated removal of it already fucks up their skin.
coffee/tea was too expensive for people working long physical jobs. only in the late 19th century in england were working people drinking tea and it was still less than the upperclasses where the practice comes from.

No joke. Stop eating cheese. Cut down on all other dairy, but cheese caused me to have cystic acne.
Secondly put a clean towel on your pillow case every night.
Wash your face with basic soap and use oil free moisturizer.
Try and get benzoyl peroxide cream put on every night.
Combination of all these actions cleared up 98% of my acne.
>Stop eating cheese
That thing, I just cannot do it.
Cheese is my life. >Secondly put a clean towel on your pillow case every night.
Why not just change the pillowcase every night?
Seconding the recommendation to cut dairy. I also used to have cystic and cured it by cutting out dairy. Also, despite what people say, I'm convinced that acne is close to 90-95% hormonal unless maybe you're truly filthy. I've been able to go without showering for over a week at a time and not get a trace of acne, but if I fap more than occasionally, boom I get acne.
>random
There's clearly something wrong with you so an attempt to procreate would be detrimental to your group's survival. This is nature's way of warning your potential (lol) partners not to waste energy on you.
I don’t think acne is genetic for most people at all. It’s probably just environment and food (and being dirty). When I went to Iraq no one had acne and they thought I was weird for having the little I had. I mean I’ve been not taking care of myself recently and it’s coming back
no 10/10 would date a skin cripple at any serious capacity. you're relegated to people who look even worse than you, or people who will try to gaslight you and act like they don't mind it (they do). i'd definitely use the latter for sex though.
Stop eating shit food, anything that contains refined sugar, anything thats deep fried. Go get some sunlight and the radiation will kill the bacteria. Eating sugar feeds it.
I had pretty bad acne for a few years as a teenager, definitely caused by hormones. Anecdotally I think exercising in the sun helped get rid of it.
It does suck that people get it for such long periods of time. I still see those Morlocks around every now and then.
ive thought about taking accutane recently
im a 27 year old, have had acne since like 13
have it pretty bad especially on my back and ass, shoulders chest and face definitely has a lot too but honestly my face isnt that bad anymore (still definitely have mild acne and a bit of scarring)
not sure whether it's even worth it to try accutane anymore because of the sides, but im sort of tired of going through life with acne. Not even for the obvious aesthetic reasons, but it's mildly uncomfortable to have, almost like a constant itch.
i actually went on accutane when i was about 16 or 17 and went off it because i had a few auditory hallucinations. Basically just noises though, and maybe a couple times a year I still get them. It's weird, like a "whoosh" or "zoom" sound. I don't really know if it has to do with the accutane but it was way more frequent when I was on it and it was the first time I ever noticed them. I felt weird as hell in general. I think I might have had suicidal thoughts? Been a while anyway and I may have had those anyway.
Honestly acne is the reason I'm still a virgin. Otherwise I was a good looking kid. I've been tarting to lose my hair as of the last few months, I'm probably just going to stop giving a fuck about my appearance entirely.
It's pretty much always diet, whether that is commercial meat, dairy, sugar. It also can come from a weakened immune system (due to vaccines, not being breastfed, etc)
This shit is literally the best stuff I've ever used I've suffered from acne for atleast 20 years and I'm virtually zit free, have been for years. Use very little at first, apply before bed and upon waking after showering. Nothing I have used works as good.
historical people didn't get acne like this. it's something about modern society
I'm not sure about that. This se answer lists a number of instances from ancient sources

Pharaohs were inbred, dysgenic aristocrats who ate shitty diets for their era.

>>tfw don't shower more than monthly
no acne could penetrate your layer of smegma
I unironically look like this
It's so over
Are you a man?
By the time your 30 its okey. Woman like scars. Go to the gym, get some meat on your knuckles.
im so lucky i dont have any scars at some point it felt as if my face was going to melt off but everything healed back somehow
wearing make up to cover acne is nothing more than a cope if someone comes close to you they will instantly know whats underneath that mess
It's literally getting poisoned.
Egyptians ate lead and arsenics.
And we inject our children with:
>aluminium hydroxide, hydrated (Al(OH)3) (neurotoxin)
>aluminium phosphate (AlPO4) (neurotoxin)
>mannitol and sorbitol sugar alcohols (fucking up blood sugar levels)
>lactose (just sugar)
>neomycin, Neomycin sulphate and polymyxin (toxic antibiotics)
>toxic dye (Phenol Red, toxic)
>formaldehyde (toxic and carcinogenic)
>para-aminobenzoic acid (causes skin reactions, allergies and bronchspasm)
And they sometimes inject this crap specifically intradermal and not intramuskular.

Acne past the age of 17 is strange to me. It's like a random curse. I like most people haven't had more than 1 zit since I was in HS
Everyone has a little bit of acne
you can have acne and have social life lol
body positive retards dont count
yeah, even if you exclude them, 1/10 people with acne can still have social life
no 10/10 would date a skin cripple at any serious capacity. you're relegated to people who look even worse than you, or people who will try to gaslight you and act like they don't mind it (they do). i'd definitely use the latter for sex though.

Acne is 100% genetic and is caused by overactive sebaceous glands.

Should I just do nofap?
At that point just rub your face with cannabis oil (the THC kind, not seed-pressed) every night for 3 months. Also castor oil.
