11 Famous People Who Have Been Totally Candid About Struggling With Acne, And It’s So Refreshing To Hear

“I’m not sure if or when I’ll be able to accept my skin as it is. It’s problematic. It scars easily, it’s painful. But I am hoping that someday I can feel beautiful even if I’m having a breakout.”

1. Maude Apatow opened up about struggling with her skin while working on Euphoria. “When I started working and wearing more makeup, my skin got a lot worse,” she explained during Vogue’s Beauty Secrets series. She added that her breakouts got so bad that she asked Euphoria creator Sam Levinson to “be careful with the lighting.”

2. Keke Palmer previously shared that she struggles with acne because of her polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In an Instagram post, she explained that after years of being dismissed by doctors, she took it upon herself to look into her symptoms. She said, “My acne has been so bad that people in my field offered to pay for me to get it fixed. I tried EVERYTHING. I did Accutane TWICE. People say drink water, have a better diet, but I did all that, I ate all the ‘right’ things, my blood tests were fine.”

3. Throughout the years, Lili Reinhart has been very open about managing her breakouts. “I’ve had cystic acne since I was 12. And it has caused major self-esteem issues ever since,” she wrote in an Instagram story. “I always text my mom when I have a bad breakout. I tell her how ugly I feel and how these breakouts shatter my confidence every time they appear.”

4. Justin Bieber spoke openly about his experience with adult acne and said that he’s tried a ton of different products, but none of them have worked. “I think at some point it’s preference and opinion, not factual,” he said on his Facebook Watch series The Biebers on Watch. “Because some things work on certain skin, and some skin reacts bad to certain products and some skin reacts nice to certain products.”

5. Millie Bobby Brown has also been very open about her acne, often posting selfies without makeup and wearing pimple patches. “My journey with acne is something very personal to me,” she wrote on Instagram. “We all deserve to feel confident & comfortable in our own skin & I hope by sharing my experience, you feel inspired to embrace your skin & love it no matter what stage it’s in!”

6. Selena Gomez spoke about managing her breakouts during her Beauty Secrets video with Vogue. “I’ve for sure had acne, and usually it’s kind of all in the T-zone. I try not to pick at anything. Sometimes that’s hard,” she said. “When you are taking care of your skin you are taking care of your body and your mind and your soul just because I think it’s all connected.”

7. SZA revealed that before she became famous, she worked in Sephora’s skincare department and that knowledge has helped her with her own skin struggles. “Don’t get discouraged with your skin when it doesn’t do what you want it to do and you feel like, fuck this product. Give it some time. Some of that shit takes a month to break through,” she said. “Touring fucked my skin up on a whole ‘nother level. 200 meet-and-greets a day. Cheek to cheek. Sweating, hair on my face, mic on my face…”

8. In an interview with PopSugar, Emma Chamberlain spoke about how dealing with acne has been the “most difficult thing” she’s ever experienced. “I fully understand that no matter what anybody says it’s really, really tough and there’s nothing that anybody can say or do to make it any easier. It would be, in a way, punching my younger self in the face to be like, ‘Oh, having acne, well, it goes away one day. You’ll be OK.’ No, it’s one of the most difficult things I’ve personally ever dealt with self-esteem-wise and just in general, in life,” she said.

9. Rachel Bloom posted a selfie rocking a breakout and encouraged Crazy Ex-Girlfriend fans to see if they could spot it when the episode aired. “The middle of shooting the season (around episode 8) is peak time for my hormones to run amok due to a hectic schedule,” she wrote on Instagram. “Try to spot the bloating, fatigue and zits and win a prize! (But hopefully you won’t thanks to [makeup artist] @srollertaylor).

10. In a series of Instagram videos, Lorde spoke candidly about her acne struggles and how exhausting the skincare discourse can be. “For real though, acne sucks. You know what also sucks? When you’ve had acne for years and years and years. Tried all the drugs, done all the things, and people are still like, ‘You know what worked for me? Moisturizing,'” she said. “The very worst one, of course, is when people think you’re just dirty. ‘Do you wash your face?’ It’s like, yes I wash my face, I’m just genetically cursed.”

11. Finally, Charli D’Amelio opened up about her choice not to edit out her acne in photos and videos she posts online. Replying to a fan comment praising her she said, “It’s taken me a long time to feel comfortable in my skin but this is how I look and makeup only helps so much. I have to be confident and learn to love every ‘imperfection’ that I have [because] each one makes me unique and special in my own way.”
