Does acne medicine promote wrinkles?

Acne, Wrinkles, and I'm only 19 Extended....?

  • I haven't been tanning for very long and I don't intentionally tan my face. I feel like these wrinkles just appeared one day out of nowhere. I don't feel that the amount of tanning I have endured should have caused these wrinkles to start appearing, but I could be wrong. My face is also very dry from my acne medication. I'm afraid if I stop using the medication my face will get worse, but I may try it. I'm wondering if my face being dry would make it look like I have wrinkles? Besides tanning I smoke as well, which I know is a huge contributing factor to these wrinkles and the acne. I don't understand what is making these things happen to my body. I use to have clear skin and now I have breakouts everywhere and wrinkles on top of it. So if I stop tanning and smoking will they get better? I have worked with my dermatologist for the acne and nothing has helped much yet. I could also just be freaking out about this. haha. I could use some confidence and reassurance with this please. And if there are any reasonably priced products that anyone knows of, let me know! This is for wrinkles and acne on my face and body. Oh and for those who feel the need to be rude, I shower daily and you should go find somewhere else to express your naive comments. :) Thanks for the help!

  • Answer:

    it could be your genetic code. look at your mom or gramaw and see if they have the same reaction that your haveing. you could use proactive,clean&clear,max clairety,or neautrogena for your acne. for your wrinkles you can maybe find some wrinkle cream or use olive oil or mayo.

I would check up with your dermatologist one more time and tell him that its not working and if not you should try a new product or continue using the one you have but also put on face lotion. I use a neutrogena face wash/acne cleaner and it helps and makes my skin soft. I also advise you to quit smoking, its obviously a bad thing. Tanning might cause some bad skin problems also. So yeah, I hope everything turns out fine!

Natural acne control protocol: 1/ Never, ever touch your face. 3/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day. 3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal 4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal. Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing. 5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again. 6/ Do this for 90 days. Source: A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat and oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin A causes skin to remove dermatophytes. I never have had acne, a few pimples on my left chin where I am most likely to rest my hand.

Your looking too close and too much at your face. Your skin is dry from acne preparations. And your probably slightly dehydrated so drink extra fluids.
