re. accutane. i'm just waiting until after i have a baby so that i can start. i'm really scared of it because it's so strong, but hearing your success stories gives me confidence. it's really my only option, as i took antibiotics so long that they stopped working.

re. make-up. when my skin started going from bad to worse, i invested a lot of $ into b. b. cosmetics. while i think it's a good, high-quality product, my acne didn't look any better because it seemed to break up and collect in my big pores when i tried to blend it - hence, no coverage. don't get me wrong, i'll probably use it again if my skin clears, but until then...

i've also tried stay clean foundation from almay, and i thought it was pretty good. since i can't find it here in germany, and am too lazy to order it, i'm going to give clinique a try.

my sister used prescriptives while she was dealing with acne, and has also recommended it to me.
