Holy Shit
I just started taking skinphoria and I can’t even. I have had adult acne since I was nineteen. I had regular normal teen break outs before that, but that was the age where I started to get cystic acne that never went away and permanently scarring my face. I’ve tried a ton of stuff. No luck with antibiotics. My skin is really sensitive so topical stuff causes my skin physical pain after a few days. The only thing that has ever helped was long term birth control. But I have to take it every day and it takes a year to really get it under control. When I tried a implant for birth control my face went to hell (an implant can make acne worse. I ended up taking it out, though I loved it otherwise). I’ve been trying for nearly 3 years to get back under control, while also struggling with depression that made my pill taking very unreliable.
My mother has been very frustrated by this in general. I have to but I had just kind of given up hope. Then one of my mom’s doctors mentioned Skinphoria and my mom picked it up for me.
And now after three doses- THREE- (that’s a day and a half) my face is like i’ve been on birth control for a year. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. And it’s suppose to help with scarring too. I hate the scars on my face and I’ve never really even bothered to try and treat them because I was still getting new ones. I have hope for that for the first time ever.
There is this flush side effect that sucks, if you take the pill on an empty or near empty stomach you feel like you are on FIRE and your skin turns pick. Even my knees were bright pick which was weird. I made the mistake of not having eaten enough last night when I took the pill and it was terrible. But it makes me kind of feel like it was a metaphorical cleansing fire when I wake up like this. (Too be clear I am only ever taking these after a meal again because that was a half hour/45 mins of pure hell).
