  • Yes, I have acne. No, it doesn't define me.
    As someone who has personally dealt with Acne for around 6 years now, I thought it was about time I made a short film about it. It's something I've been insecure about for ages, but I'm slowly coming to terms with it, and I'm beginning to accept it. When people ask me things like, "do you wash your face?", or "have you tried x, y, z?" all the time, so this is my response to them: Yes and yes. Having acne doesn't make you any different, or ugly, or whatever the fk you wanna associate it with so fk whatever people think and know that you're an incredible human being.
    Thank you so much for watching!!

    Trying to cover it up makes it worse so I'm forced to leave it out for everyone to look at. Even if I do embrace it, most of society sees acne as ugly and gross. What am I supposed to do? It's not as simple as wearing a face mask or washing your face and I hate how people born with perfect skin don't get that. I'm so sick of the endless cycles. I just want answers..
    guess acne is next to cancer on the list of things that can't be cured...

      dude, I am in the exact same situation as you, I'm allergic to like EVERY makeup product out there, and i have terrible acne on my cheeks and chin, and I feel like thats all people see when they look at me. But in reality, most people are not absolute shitwads and will not just see you for your acne. What they will notice is if you are confident, keep your head up and smile. If you are seen as a happy outgoing person, people will be drawn to you no matter what. One of the most popular girls in my school has bright red cystic acne covering her forehead, and she can still get dates and have tons of friends because people enjoy her sense of humor and confidence. I know it will be hard (it has been for me) but trust me, you are not alone, people all over the place are going through a similar situation and understand.

      Girl, makeup does NOT make it worse if you know how to apply it :) covering up just a little bit with a concealer makes a huge difference, it really helpes if you are insecure. If you want to cover it, then cover it! It helpes boost your confidence!

    My acne makes my confidence so low. I feel like my boyfriend lost feelings once he realized what my acne looks like without makeup. I’m too insecure to even be under fluorescent lights. I look at every other girl and see how pretty her skin is. I cleanse tone and moisturize every morning and night. I drink two liters of water a day. Nothing I do helps.
    But seeing this comment section and knowing that there are so many people just like me, suffering the same thing, makes everything a little less scary. Thank you for this video. I’m happy to know that acne is slowly becoming a more accepted ordeal. Just know that your skin does not define who you are as a person.

    thank you for this video, acne needs to start being shared more in society and needs to be known as normal. if you’re watching this im guessing at least 80% of you have acne and that’s totally fucking normal. ive dealt with acne for so many years now and it’s so hard being the only person in your friend group who has to deal with it. believe me or not, not many people take notice of it as much as you think. no matter what your skin has to show don’t let it bring you down. we are no less beautiful than those who have clear skin. 💛 no i am not completely confident in my skin and like every person who suffers with acne, i have good and bad days. just remember to take time on healing yourself, because it really doesn’t matter. and remind yourself, if you are continuously bringing yourself down because of it you won’t rise above it, so keep trying to get better at feeling comfortable in your skin. and if your bestfriend had acne you wouldn’t bring them down and say all negative things about it to them, so why say it to yourself? you are just as important as anyone else. why can’t we be our own best friends? 💖💗💞💘 take care of yourself, not just your skin

      OfficiallyVia God thinks you’re beautiful and priceless. He made you unique and special. He created to be free and joyful. He created you to be victorious in life. He loves you soooo much. Even when you don’t feel good or loved Jesus adores you. God wants to help you but you gotta believe Jesus died for you and repent. Accept Jesus as your savior. Then he will help you. Even if you don’t, God loves you and will ALWAYS love you❤️❤️ I’m here if you wanna talk. I used to be insecure but Jesus helped me. I’m not perfect, but my Father in Heaven already is. He desires to be your Father too because He is the Perfect Father. He loves you and He cares about you. His love for you deeper than the ocean, wider than the sea, and stretches farther than the east to the west. Life won’t be perfect after you give your life to Christ. You’ll still have troubles but you’ll always get the victory in the end. Plus, you’ll have God to comfort you and to talk to. He will be with every step of the way!!❤️

    Anyways, if you have acne/pimples or bad skin you dont have to be ashamed, acne doesn’t make you ugly, just love yourself please and dont cover your acne for the people if you are gonna cover it, cover it bc of you💖💖💖

    I used to love talking to this boy I liked because he was funny but than he eventually started insulting my acne. I laughed along with him but it eventually started to hurt a lot. He would say things like “your ugly” and “no one would date you” and “your acne looks terrible” it started making me envy every girl with clear skin. He once told me to slit my wrists - apparently in a joking way. I shouldn’t be so sensitive but I can’t help it. I remember the feeling my heart just drop and it made me feel so much worse about myself.
    It doesn’t help when my mum always makes comments about my face like “none of your friends has acne like you do” or “your face looks disgusting” I literally don’t know what to do. It hurts a lot , even though I try so hard to clean my skin it doesn’t seem to work. I’m sorry for rambling.

    nowadays, everyone is talking about accepting other people beyond their difference and how we have to love each other despite how we look, and I mean, that's a great message for everyone, love someone not just by their looks. Now everyone accept anyone, even if they're fat, black, white, thin, short, tall or if they have scars; now we are accepting people with no worriers about their genres. But it has a problem, this is not what happens when we talk about the people who have acne or acne scars. I don't see people who try to cheer up the people with acne or even talking about them but instead portraying the "clear skin" as something everyone wants, and I mean, its true, but that just make the people with acne feel even worse and the majority of us (people with acne) have already a very low self esteem (obviously with exceptions), I just hope that in a near future, the acne stops being a tabu topic or a think for make less someone.

    The worst part is that my classmate said how hard is it to wash your face and walks up to the sink and wets his face with water and I was so sad and they laughed . And another time I got a note passed to me saying I was so ugly I ran out of the class crying and no one noticed but this nice girl that asked me what’s wrong so I showed her the note and she said it’s not true your beautiful and said there just jealous. But why do people have the time to tear people down for there own happiness. And there is so many more stories about how I get bullied for acne! But I gave a few examples. And considering that I’m the only person in my grade struggling with acne I feel alone with no one who understands how I feel. Just remember to love yourself I’m trying to to do that!

I went through it for 5 years and i could go on for more so don't give up. I still have the trauma of it since i still have it. I can't stand tall, look people in the eye and just find literally every single person around me beautiful and handsome except me. I have to get through that just cause I have lost all my confidence. So to the kids who are just starting please promise me you will keep your head up high

    I hate how people say “oh, you have a pimple there” ofc I know it and it’s not only on pimple. People who were born with clear skin won’t get it that having bad acne won’t go away with taking on mask or something. I’m sick of feeling uncomfortable around people it’s feels just weird and people often think it’s disgusting and you don’t take care of your skin like oml bad skin doesn’t came from “not caring well” it’s part of puberty and sometimes it won’t just go away and that drives me crazy
    I just wanna feel comfortable :(

    I feel this video so much. I take tons of vitamins that apparently improve skin and birth control. I use topicals that I’ve been prescribed or told to use by dermatologist. I drink only water, I had my first coke in so long today. I couldn’t even enjoy it, I regretted it by the first sip, worrying if it will affect my skin. I’m constantly looking at the back of food items, seeing if there’s dairy in it or tons of sugar. I’ve canceled something soooo important to me I had coming up because of my skin. People don’t understand how it is with acne unless they go through it. It hurts my self esteem.

    Thank you for showing how hurt a person can feel suffering from acne. It emotionally hurts me and I will never forget the things people have told me about my skin. People can be so rude and inconsiderate, they do not know the pain we feel. We are stronger than them for what we have gone through.

    I’ve been suffering with bad acne for 3 years now and it has taken a toll on my mental health. I’m so insecure about it that even my friends FRIENDS text me to FaceTime them, I have to quickly put on makeup because I will feel so uncomfortable in camera while my acne is in full view, meanwhile they have clear pretty skin. Sometimes when I’m doing my face skin routine I start crying because I have a whole cabinet full of expensive skin products and a whole skin routine and nothing works! I even tried going vegan ffs!!!! I thought that maybe meat and dairy was one the main reasons why I was breaking out. It did help but I started eating meat again and I broke out horribly again. I just don’t know what to do anymore honestly

    Hey Melissa, I just came from Brian's channel. You have no idea how much I relate with this video. I've had really bad acne all throughout my teen years and it got really bad from 17 onwards. I'm 19 now. It's not as bad as it used to be. But still pretty bad. I so relate with the drinking water thing. I so relate with the entire eat healthy thing. I've had suicidal thoughts because of acne in my darkest times and I sometimes still do feel like that. I just want to tell you, you're really pretty. From the outside and ESPECIALLY from the inside. Much love, take care :')

    It bothers me most when people think you just aren't trying enough. It's like okay, I've tried every combination of washing/moisturizing products, different diets, exercise, multiple different prescribed medications (oral and topical) Juices, oils, masks, you name it. It can take a LONG time to find something that works for you, *especially since you're supposed to try something continually for weeks to months before knowing if it will help. I'm 28 and still haven't found anything to keep it away. It is NOT for lack of trying

And If I knew I would've known the solution! , and I don't know why but whenever people talk about pimples or acne I just can't stand it, I cry alot but not in front of them, I prayed alot nothing helped and I wish whoever is going through such pain , honey you're beautiful ❤ no need to pressure yourself, and importantly your not alone😿
