1. I use Panoxyl 10. nothing else i've ever used worked for my face for more than a couple days. I've heard that Oil of Olay anti-blemish anti wrinkle works pretty well for most skin types but it just dried my face out in the winters. I can't really help you with the cellulite thing. I've heard that pure shea butter can help with wrinkles and its really excellent as a night cream
2. 1) Work out several times a week for 1 hr. Do both cardio and weight training. 2)Drink lots of water. 3) Sleep at least 8-9 hrs per night - this will help your skin tremendously 4) Eat lots of veggies & lean meat 5) Avoid sugar & starch 6) Neutrogena Healthy Skin erased the wrinkles on my forehead and my crow's feet, in about 3 weeks, and cleared up a lot of acne. (I'm 30 and get asked for age ID regularly) Sleep is the best thing for your skin and for your health; regular exercise & shower at least once per day, esp after a workout. Five nine and 130 is probably a healthy weight - my guess is you're not sleeping enough. Exercise will help w/that. Hope this helps! Bon chance!!
3. I can't really help with the cellulite. I can however help with the acne problem. If you've tried minocycline, you could also try doxycycline. Give it time to work, and in a month you should be clear. Its better to try less harmful things rather than go straight to accutane. If doxycycline isn't working. Then the next step is to go for either birth control or accutane. I know accutane works well for back acne. It cleared me up for good. As for facial acne, it works too BUT its not a cure like everyone says unfortunately. It does however make it a lot milder each course of accutane you go through. I've been through accutane twice, but my back acne, after the first time, NEVER came back. For facial acne I find tazorac to be wonderful, but it takes 4 weeks to start working, and does make you peel and your face burn a little, but if you get past that, it really does work. Other options are to try a combo of bluelight & levulan treatment which is a laser treatment. It works apparently as well as accutane. So I would say go to your dermatologist, and see what they say and if you want to try a certain treatment ie. birth control, or go for the accutane, just ask. If they won't give you what you want, seek another dermatologist. I'd ask the dermatologist about the cellulite. Maybe try one of these procedures: http://www.tcclinic.com/endermologie-toronto.php As for the droopy eyelids. Check out this page: http://www.stlukeseye.com/Conditions/Ptosis.asp Consult your doctor. Find out why is this happening? Sadly the only treatment is corrective surgery called Blepharoplasty. Check out more info at: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/blepharoplasty/SN00023 But really consult your doctor to find out why this is happening. If you want more info about acne treatments and if they indeed do work, check out: www.acne.org They have a forum there and offer support and discuss treatments. Remember too, that what works for one person, doesn't work for everyone. Stay positive and remember that no matter what you are still beautiful. Don't let the things that bother you about yourself get to you too much. Remember you will get them treated, and soon before you know it, you'll be looking like you want to. I went through a similar phase. I was upset because I didn't like my acne, and had some scarring from it and was trying to figure out how to treat it. I kept my head high and knew I'd get through it, and despite those things bothering me guys still liked me, and now years later I got through it, scars gone, acne gone and I'm happy, so I wish you best of luck in getting through everything!
