That is so mean.

Wow! could you take it anymore personal? My acne isn't even that bad and i'd still be stoked to get proactive! lol. She was just trying to be nice I'm sure and that stuff does wonders! just look at the bright side of it!! :)

Your poor boyfriend. He sounds like one of those guys who're dopey about helping in such situations. It's endearing from the outside, not so much on the inside. Don't be too harsh on him, he tried. His mother on the other hand sounds like she needs a good slap.

that shit doesn't work it's bleaches your skin and your towels and makes your face burn/peel like hell. if you wanna see an actual difference maybe go to the dermatologist and get roaccutane

That was rude of her :( Getting rid of acne isn't as easy as, "oh hey, i'll go wash my face." I take very good care of my skin, but acne runs in my family. Trying ProActiv made me break out even more, so I started seeing a dermatologist. The first medication I was put on turned my acne from mild to severe. After trial and error my skin has improved, but it's still nowhere close to perfect. So please don't assume that people with acne don't take care of themselves. Everyone's skin is different, so what works for one person won't work for everyone.

First!

Ughh, the uncouth BF's mom and dreaded acne! Suck it up mom, it can be an ongoing battle. OP, sometimes they both can be out of your control.

myfriend_youfail, what's your profile pic? it looks really pretty!!

I'm appaled by how many sympathetic retards this FML brings. Even going so far as to call us filthy, and wishing death upon us! I think the OP is lucky. He/she just got a FREE ticket to acne removal. And you ignorant fools are saying **** his/her life? If anything their life just got better. OP: get over yourself and use the damn cream. If I haven't made it abundantly clear by now, YDI FOR NOT USING IT!

Oh, holy crap, someone has the natural and common occurrence known as acne, big whoop. It's not that big of a deal. FYL, some people can't understand that acne is something people have and something some people just can't get rid of.
