"I started getting acne all over my face, chest, back, and arms in eighth grade," Racine says. "I wore long sleeves in the summer and wished I could just get new skin." After seeing five dermatologists (!!!) and trying antibiotics, a retinoid, light therapy, and thousands of dollars' worth of topicals, Racine still had persistent acne. Finally, in her mid-30s, she met Dendy Engelman, MD, a derm at Shafer Clinic in New York City. "She gave me the right dose of antibiotics, plus topicals and AviClear-an in-office laser treatment," Racine says. Combining regular facials, a cleansing regimen, diet changes (she cut out dairy and swears by celery juice), and meditation to manage stress, she noticed big improvements in three months. "It's not flawless, but it's healthy, and I'm so happy where I am now."
