Today, at my job in a chemists, I had a customer ask me which acne cream I would recommend. I picked up the brand I use and told her that I've been using it for a year now. After pausing to stare at my face for a second, she thanked me and picked up the competing brand instead. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a lady come up to me in a store just to tell me how bad my acne was and what remedies I should use. I got so embarrassed, all I could say was, "OK" and, "Thank you" until she left me alone. FML
Today, a woman at the crowded mall stopped me and told me loudly that if I bought her product it would get rid of my acne. FML
Today, I got in line at the grocery store. The woman in front of me looked right at me, turned to her friend, and said "That reminds me, I forgot to get acne cream." FML
Today, I was shopping with my friends and I got asked by a man if I could be in one of his commercials. I obviously said yes without thinking twice. I then found out that he wanted me to be the before picture for an acne control moisturizer. FML
Today, after lifting a 20 pound box of oranges for a woman at work, she turned around to say, "Your acne needs help." I still had to tell her to have a good day. FML
Today, I found out that what I thought was "acne" is actually an allergic reaction to a cream I've been using for years. I thought the cream was helping me with the breakouts but my doctor says the real acne probably went away naturally years ago. FML
Today, I found out that my intense acne is actually an allergic reaction to the "deep clean" product I've been using to reduce it. I've been using this product for the past ten years. Ten years of suffering through "acne" could have been easily avoided. FML
Today, my teenage daughter asked me to buy her the morning after pill, saying, "It's for my acne." FML
Today, the clerk at Walmart asked me if the stretch mark cream I was buying was for my wife. I wish I could've said yes. FML
Today, at work as an optician, I gave a little girl a new pair of glasses and asked her if she could see better with them. She replied, "Oh, yeah, you've got two big zits on your nose!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

agree to #3. Your skin gets used to it and it stops working, thats why you have to frequently change acne medicines. And i feel for you, i have horrible acne and i know its nobody's fault and sometimes you just cant beat it. And for all of you who are going to comment saying that its his fault for having acne YOUR WRONG. On a lot of people no medicine can get their acne away. I was my face 3 times a day with some of the most expensive acne medicine in the US and it barely works. Ive used proactiv, cleannclear, and abogi. None of them worked that well

0.o thats such an idiotic response, i dont even know what to say about that. Apparently youve never been to Junior High or Highschool. Everyone in my school has atleast a bit of acne. 0.o idiot.

I've heard stuff like this happen before. That's really insulting although I'm sure it wasn't intentional.

#15, im a teen, lol its not like its permanent, the reason it doesnt work on me is because i have horrible mean hormones. I was just stating a point that for a LOT Of people it doesnt work. No biggy. And i know it works for some people. Im just saying.

FYI, getting regular sleep and washing your face with water daily helps fight acne more than any of the anti-acne creams and washes do. Eating healthy helps a lot too. If all else fails, Doxycycline helps suppress it very effectively. Ask your doctor. FYL though

agree completely. I used to have horrible acne that resisted almost any treatment; then I started eating healthy (ie: vegetables at every meal, very little fried food) and exercising daily and I haven't had any new pimples since. Swimming pool water also seems to be way more effective than anything specifically targeting acne, so you could just go swimming (or soak in the pool for awhile) then slather on moisturizer afterwards.

Wow, you must have low confidence. You mineaswell go dress up in a mini skirt, hoochee heels, and a crop top with a thong clear and showing. Get a life and gain some confidence. Maybe YOU need to use some clense in clear

Maybe YOU need to use some ******* spell-check. Your post is all kinds of atrocious.
