When did you start getting breakouts? I started getting them when I was 13...my skin was awful! It cleared up a little after my 15th birthday!

YES! 8th grade was the worst. All on my forehead..

Luckily, I have never really had bad acne. Just a random zit every now and then!

Yes! I vividly remember my first gross zit--it was in 6th grade and I was mortified. I still have pretty bad skin. Thanks, genetics. I want a Clarisonic for Christmas!

Ugh, yeah. All through my teenage years. My skin started to clear up towards the end of college, but at 28, I still don't have great skin (and at this point I doubt I will). So jealous of people with great skin!

Nope, I guess I lucked out! My older brother needed a prescription for his acne though, and he still has it in his late twenties!

Ugh! I started getting breakouts when I was in 6th grade. It has really only gotten worse as I've gotten older. I'm 27 now and still dealing with it.

No, I got lucky and always had pretty clear skin. I had the random zit here and there, but nothing too severe.

I had pimples here and there, but never acne. My breakouts are worse now at 26 (after going off of BC). So frustrating!!

My skin was pretty clear all through high school and college. Once I went off birth control a few years ago, it all went downhill

Oh yes. It got better after high school, but I still get pimples all the time.

I never had acne. I get more pimples now than I did then.

Oh geez... I hate my skin. I had it pretty bad beginning around 12, and it hit its peak of awfulness at around 16. My skin still sucks, but it's not anywhere near what it was. I'm just glad I'm a woman, and could always wear make up!

Ughhhh yes!! Probably from ages 10 - 24. And then I had a long time when my skin was good, but then it all went to hell 20 months ago when I went off birth control. My face (at age 32) looks like a high schoolers! Sad

I got full-force cystic acne when I was 13. It was 8th grade so pretty much nobody had pubescent acne yet. I went on Accutane, which cleared it up for a few years and then I've had to go on cycles of stuff every few years until I decide I don't want to anymore, skin gets terrible, go back on stuff. 19 years of ridiculous acne is so tiring.
