Today, I looked at my face to see if my new age-defying lotion was working. My skin does look younger, it's covered in pimples like a teenager's. 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 that at 20 years old I already have noticeable wrinkles around my eyes. But to balance it out, my chronic acne keeps me looking youthful. 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, I realized that the tingly feeling on my face when I put a new combination of acne wash, acne medication, and my usual moisturizer on was not, in fact, "it working." It was slowly peeling away the top layer of skin. I look and feel sunburned. I also still have acne and oily skin. 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've got so many pimples in my face, I could actually fill a bucket with my own pus. I'm 25. FML
Today, the pimples on my face are finally clearing up. They seem to have migrated to my ass. FML
Today, I was excited that my new skin care regimen seemed to be paying off. I told my husband of 35 years about it and asked him if I "looked good". He looked me over as if I were a stalled engine and said, "You look less stressed. That's good, but I mean… You still look like yourself." 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 putting on cream and my son asked what it was for. I told him it was to keep the wrinkles away. He looked at me closely and replied, "I don't think it's working." FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Doesn't it say on the label to apply in small sections first before fully using it? Some people are allergic to certain products. Always try a new product before using it often.

Okay, so take these comments and realize you need to get out more! Otherwise..."Gee I wish I would have someone other than this FML to speak to!" FYL for posting when you should get a mobile app (perhaps motivation to leave home) and hit the street! Come out of your shell or at least come to reality over it and get used to the lonely moments. Otherwise it's gonna be you and Snickerdoodle...then you'll be writing FML's cause the medical insurance you have doesn't cover suicide attempts.

if it has SPF in it, that may be the culprit. I use Garnier, and they have it in both formats- one with and one without SPF. I accidentally bought the one with SPF in it when I went back after loving the first bottle I had because the packages are the same and it only has a tiny little yellow thing on it to say it has SPF, and I broke out after using it once.

that's what you get for trying to change your skin.

Seedlessme, I have the same problem at age 31. They're not real bad, only a handful of pimples. But the ones I have keep recurring and my insurance won't cover dermatologists unless it's considered an "Emergency". It's frustrating, but my mom's thinking is that it keeps me from being vain and drawing attention to my face with make up instead of letting my character speak for me She said the same thing when my sister complained of stubborn arm/thigh fat (despite healthy eating and exercise) "then don't dress in clothes that show that area, you're too old for that anyway." Both have good points.

Age-defying lotion? That's sure to clog up your pores. If you really want to look younger, there's always botox. You won't be able to move your face, but it's worth it, right?
