Today, I'm now able to put my acne cream on my face without having to look in the mirror, because I've memorized the crater and trench-filled war zone that is my acne-riddled face. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized my acne looks like star constellations. I've already found the Little Dipper on my left cheek. FML
Today, I noticed that my acne has gotten so bad, I can see it out of my peripheral vision. FML
Today, I found myself admiring my eyelids for being the only parts of my face not covered in acne. FML
Today, I decided to clean my face of unwanted visitors, and spent my shower popping the pimples on my cheeks. Twenty minutes later, I remembered that I was showering ahead of a date with my girlfriend. My cheeks now look like the crater-filled surface of Mars. FML
Today, I discovered the effect the cream has that my mom gave me. It was for my acne and it worked, in a way. Instead of having a lot of little pimples, I now just have a few gigantic ones. FML
Today, I realized that I can't shave my unibrow because I have too much acne on my forehead. FML
Today, I’m at that glorious age where I have to pull apart my wrinkles to get at the zits hiding inside. FML
Today, my new prescription medicine for my chronic acne did in fact work. It worked by inflaming the skin around my zits so that they blended in. FML
Today, I was applying some acne ointment. The directions said, "Apply a thin layer, covering the entire affected area." In other words, for me: My entire face. Lovely. FML
Today, the pimples on my face are finally clearing up. They seem to have migrated to my ass. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's a pretty good talent actually. If the power ever goes out and you need to put the acne cream on, you're all set:)

I don't have to look in the mirror to apply things to my face either. It's called, I know where my face is....

I will clear up, i battled with acne also using over the counter medications and i understand your frustration. However it will definitely clear up just see a dermatologist about the issue and get professional help which i did and my face is all cleared up. Products containing salicylic acid helped tremendously, hope your face is not too sensitive though.

Oh, I understand how you feel, been there! Like everyone says, it does get better, but you might need some help. I had to use medication, had to take really strong pills filled with A vitamin. It sucked at the time because of side effects, but I'm so happy with my skin now!

Sometimes certain cremes don't actually work they just make it worse :/

Aw OP, I'm sorry. I hope the acne gets better, but meanwhile, hang in there, we've all had bad acne during our teenage-till-midtwenties years, although I bet it's no consolation :/ Anyway, I wanted to suggest that if you're finding that the medication/creams you're using aren't working, try to find a natural alternative. If you can find something that has Shea butter, Coconut oil and Lavender essential oil, it'll make a tremendous difference. These natural ingredients all have very effective healing properties, and are best used for treating scars and burns and regenerating the skin. That's what I used on my cousin (she's now seventeen and acne free after years of bad skin) when she was going through this. If you could make it at home, it'll be even better! Good luck OP :)

Sleep 7 hours. Eat greens, fibers, and salads. Avoid shitty fried and oily food. Work out daily. And think nice thoughts. Poof goes the acne. Tried and tested.
