really mya, you're SO strong, in this internet generation we dont see much influencers who show their tragetory like you do. Im so proud of how you managed all of this

I don't think anyone who hasn't experienced acne in their past can understand this physical and emotional pain… thank u so much for sharing this ❤️

It’s really great finally seeing an influencer be real & open about their acne! I have dealt with acne & random bumps on my face that wouldn’t go away. Every time I looked at myself in the mirror I would cry. It’s such a horrible feeling of not being comfortable in your own skin & it’s something that’s not talked about enough. I am still dealing with a bit but nothing major. You’re an influencer that I always looked up to since your high school vlogs! It makes me happy to see you share your journey!🤍☺️🫶🏼

the second video where she is crying really broke my heart in pieces! i love her so so much she’s been a rolemodel for me for almost 7 years now and it breaks my heart to see her like this

As a teenage girl struggling with acne these type of videos reassure me that I’m not alone Thankyou Mya ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for being so vulnerable and real. Acne is one of the worst things ever for my self confidence. And yes this is a good reminder that we are all still beautiful ❤️ throughout the whole video I thought how beautiful you are and how even with acne you were GLOWING

Girl I can’t even.. the bravery and vulnerability it must’ve taken to post this!! I’ve never resonated with a video more in my life. I could barely look people in the eyes for 4 years of my life because of my acne.. so many cancelled plans, so many tears, putting on full beat makeup every single day.. acne truly was the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through in my life (I know I’m privileged to say that, but still). You don’t know unless you’ve gone through it, but it truly is a BATTLE. If anyone’s reading this that hasn’t had acne before and doesn’t get it, the next time you notice someone with bad skin/acne, please know that this video is such an accurate depiction on how hard it can be to be the one struggling with it. Be kind. Be compassionate :)

Mya I’m so proud of you been watching for 5 years I’m so proud to watch you and your channel growww ❤❤❤❤❤

thank you so much for posting this. i struggle with acne and it really helps to know other people and especially influencers experience it to. this is so real and i’m thankful. you’re amazing

proud of you for being this brave and vulnerable!

i appreciate this more than you know, thank you for showing your journey ❤️

you look amazing, and this raw journey is much needed for lots! thank you for being true and honest its so encouraging!

I’m so proud of you! I’m so happy you shared your experience too. It will help so many others. 💖

You’re so real for sharing this ❤ so happy for where you are now with your skin being ✨clear✨

no because seeing real life and how brave you were to be so vulnerable by posting this is such an incredible inspiration for everyone going through this same problem or something similar. Love you for this you are stunning throughout this whole video❤

you’re so amazing mya! been watching you for years now and i couldn’t be more proud of how much you’ve grown! i love how real this video is, the world needs more influencers like you!

Mya thank you so much for posting this. I don’t think I’ve ever resonated with anything more. I’ve been going through the same thing for YEARS and to be able to hear someone else relate was such a good reminder that I’m not alone and not having perfect skin does not make us any less beautiful. I have literally cried with you watching this and I admire you for being so vulnerable💗💗💗

mya i love you and the intention of this video so much. it hits differently when girls that you used to compare yourself to talk about the same struggles , and how they dealt with them to spread more love to other. truly i love you and all your content; i’ve been watching since I was in about maybe fifth grade (10th now) and i remember just telling all my friends about you back i found your channel and we still all watch you to this day. you ate an icon mya. keep being you.

Thank you for making such a raw video! I've been struggling with my skin and I honestly took the biggest breath of relief when I saw I wasn't the only one struggling. Thank you for showing us what worked for you and I really appreciate you being so vulnerable to us seeing your progress💗

Thank you for sharing this with us , it makes me feel that I'm not alone

Mya girl! First off, you're so strong and so beautiful. Don't ever let "imperfections" that you see make you feel ugly. Secondly, thank you for sharing this vulnerable journey with us and always keeping it real. I've been having my own medical issue that's been ongoing for 2 years and have really struggled. Watching you go through your acne journey has really inspired me and gives me strength to go through what I'm dealing with as well. Always rooting for you! ❤

Mya is one of the KZreadrs I relate to so much because she is so REAL. This is the real life others choose to not show. I’m so happy you’ve gained your confidence back! You are glowing girl!!!

You are beautiful love I’ve been watching you for about 3 years I’m proud of you💕

I was waiting for this I know how hard it is you are so strong

i’m going through this right now, you posting this means so so much🩷🩷🩷

I literally relate so hard!! I’ve been struggling with acne ever since middle school ! You’re such an inspiration ! I love you and your videos ❤

Thank you so much for this video. I gave up many times on my skin journey, and seeing your growth and improvement really made me want to take care of my skin again. You made it all so real and relatable that I simply I’m thankful that I follow you. Thanks again ❤

I have always thought you were one of the prettiest people I’ve ever seen, with acne or not! You have literally always inspired me so much!! But I’m so happy you have gotten your skin to where you want it!! ❤️❤️❤️

So proud of you for being so open and vulnerable with yourself especially with the society we live in today. You are beautiful with and without acne. Thank you for taking us along this difficult but rewarding process we love you mya❤❤

My heart is going out for you so so so much right now. Your before is me right now. I love you and thank you for putting yourself in such a vulnerable position for us. Nobody is EVER alone ❤️

1, you are so stunning i love you. 2, i literally used to bawl my eyes out daily… so i understand this so hard. Having clear skin is the most amazing feeling after years of stuggling with acne!! you’re amazing and im so happy for you 🤍🤍

I understand. Acne issues can really affect your confidence and your day-to-day life. It's great to see you being so real and so open about it.

thank you so so much for this video!! you're so strong! ty for yor honesty it helps so much❣

Gosh even with acne maya is literally SOOO BEAUTIFUL

You are so beautiful and so strong for sharing just a valuable moment! love you keep being real because that is what we need in today's day

ive never related so much before. i have been struggling with bad acne for about over a year, and i started medication in december with also a prescribed facial cream. i have not seen much of an improvement lately and its quite discouraging. but watching this gives me hope that if i keep trying much harder then i have been, then i will probably see good results in the next 4-6 months. so thank you for just being so real and raw in this video. it gave me courage.

ughhh i wish this video came out when i was in high school because my acne was so horrible and i felt so alone and cried ALL THE TIME and thought that i was the only person in the world going through bad acne, love seeing this and you are and will always be beautiful and gorgeous no matter what! ❤️ u Mya! Thank you for sharing your journey so other girls/women don’t feel alone!

Mya, as someone who has and still is dealing with acne, you are not alone and you are still beautiful! In life, we go through phases, good and bad, and the hard parts force us to grow stronger and love ourselves even more 💕 thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this!

I went through this journey as well. I also had acne which was red, bloody and it took my skin more than 1 year to get back on track. This video made me feel so comfortable. Thank you so much mya❤.

You have ALWAYS BEEN GORGEOUS

You showing all of the emotions behind it is so important to me. I suffered from acne in 2020, cured it but got it back 3 months later. My dermatologist decided to put me on accutane for 5 months, and i was so grateful for the results, worth all of the process, seeing your skin getting worse and hurting touching it before getting better.. (and with the help of chemical peelings too). I had clear skin for a year and a half until 3 months ago… even if i don’t have a really active acne right now, in these months i got a lot of pimples slowly and i’m now full of acne scars again. It’s a journey, definitely emotionally hard. It’s like you never get cured completely, but we’ll get there i hope. Great video as always, lots of love❤

I just came across this video and it honestly couldn't have come at a better time. I am 17 and have had hormonal cystic acne since I was about 12. I felt like I tried everything under the sun, so I decided about 6 months ago to go see a dermatologist. At first we just started with some topical treatment but much like before it didn't work. I decided to start taking spironolactone about 4 months ago, and I have already seen so much change but it's not clear, especially after probably years worth of scars I now have to deal with on top of that. This type of content is so encouraging and I praise you for being so vulnerable online. Your worth is not defined by your skin, something I continue to remind myself.

You are so brave for posting this. I went through a really bad acne phase as well but I actually had to go on Claravis (isotretinoin/Accutane) for 8 months usually it's a 6-month treatment! I went through the same thing of just feeling so ugly and canceling plans. And something about acne that I think isn't talked about enough is that yes it's a vanity thing and yes it is temporary, but it fucking hurts! There was one point where it hurt to even splash water on it and I could not sleep on my side bc of how cystic/inflamed it was. It's been about 3 years since that phase and I am still dealing with the aftermath but thank you for sharing your journey, it is always nice to know you're not alone!

Also, I was going to school in Hawaii at the time so you can only imagine how awful it was bc I couldn't really enjoy Hawaii as I was so insecure! I would walk around campus in a hoodie with my hood up so it would help cover it... Bad times lol

mya being sad broke my heart , watching this was so hard

this video is everything!!!

You are so beautiful girl I’m so happy that your skin is better and your sharing the journey to help people

Ughhhh it hurts my heart this struggle is fcking REEAAL and I'm so so so soooo glad MYA got through it babe you DID IT ❤❤❤❤ WE GOT THIS 🤞🥺

I love this! Thank you for showing ur vulnerability as we all can relate

Dearest Mya ❤️ I’m so happy your happy now! I have had similar experiences, first when I was 16 and second time pretty recently (October 2022) but my acne also went on my back and chest… I got isotretinoin as a treatment medicin, and ate a strong amount for 10months.. they have changed my life and saved me from having extreme acne during my wedding this past summer.. now I’m also starting a crème medicine like yours 🙏 thank you for showing the true feelings and struggles with acne.. you are so beautiful and strong and I can’t wait for our glowing skins future 😎

Been watching since you were a senior in highschool and I’m finally a senior in highschool and I still watch You and I’m obsessed w your mindset and the way you live I strive to be similar

Thank you so much for your video. To be honest I cried a lot watching it because, to set the basics, I'm french and I'm going through the same problems with my skin. I'm currently on the french version of accutane. It's been 1 month. And my skin is completely breaking out. So it's been rough times. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It helps through the process

love you mya

This video gave me hope for my acne journey thank you Mya ❤️

i love you mya! you are so beautiful and strong women

All of you guys are beautiful no matter what insecurities you think you have ❤❤

I’ve had acne for as long as I can remember, starting from 11-12 and I’ll be 24 this year. I’ve tried everything the same as you, and my last resort will be to take medication. I have a new skincare routine that I’ve been doing for a month and I’m purging😭 but I know that 6 months is when I’ll start seeing change so I’m trying to stick out. Thanks for making this video for us girlies who struggle with acne.

Thank you for sharing this it really helps others

This was such a good video for me to see right now. How you felt at the beginning of this video is how I've been feeling this past week. I've always had moderately bad cystic acne and have been on the same birth control and acne bill as you. And I also was on and off of it. It's just good to see all this information that you shared because I've been struggling. I've been wanting to get into some skin peels and micro lading. I'm curious how much it cost for you for all the different sessions you did. Thank you for the hope 💕

Mya you are beautiful inside and out 🩷 love you girly

You are not alone. For several years I had to “cover” my acne with make up which just made it worse. I did finally get something that worked for me but my skin goes right back to how it was without it and I don’t have health insurance right now so I really want to find a long term solution…. Praying for all the girlies that feel like this. You’re not alone ❤

I was in the same boat for SO LONG I was a few days away from accurate when my spirilactone finally started working 4 MONTHS LATER! But thank you for sharing this, made me feel I wasn't alone

I relate to this literally I’ve been dealing with acne for 7years and I know how it feels to want to cancel plans and stay isolated. Thanks for sharing the reality of acne on social media I know it must have been hard

This is so amazing

Mya you are so brave for sharing this❤ I really struggle with KP on my legs and it’s really annoying and makes me feel gross. I think you are so beautiful and you sharing this makes me feel beautiful too

Thanks for showing your journey.

Omg you’re skin looks amazing! I’m an ap esthetician and we were literally just were talking about the side effects of tretinoin especially for women! So I recommend a retinol instead it’s a lot safer :)

this actually crazy but I just started new acne medicine today on valentines day a year from when you started your journey! this was really helpful for me, who is struggling with body image and also am now insecure about my skin. it is so reassuring seeing you make it out of this video with clear skin and so much happier and in a better overall mental state. I have never struggled with bad acne until september of 2023 and I started using tretinoin (its a topical cream) in october of 2023. I just went back to the derm though and now I'm on a clindamycin (another cream) for the morning and doxycycline (a pill for the morning and night at least for me) and a smaller percentage of tretinoin for night. I'm really hoping that within a year I'm in the same place as Mya is. I will update you guys if I have any serious growth or progress! ♥

hi mya! so proud of you for sharing your journey and being so vulnerable. question: was acutane brought up as option to you? and if so, what were your reasons for not going that route?

the way i have been through this exact moment in my life. I cried every day feeling so ugly from my acne. i am an esthetician and thought there’s no way my skin can be bad if i do it for a living but it happens to anybody !! it gets better and im so glad it got better for you too ❤ also this is just a thought but maybe your breast augmentation could be playing a part… your body is not used to a foreign object and could be reacting to it in the way of acne.

I remember your skin, but I always focus on your beauty because you’re so beautiful. With the make up or without your still beautiful person.

Thank you for this I go through the same thing and it’s just hell it’s not something that goes away over night thank you for sharing

You look amazing! I am in esthetician school and I graduate April 1st. I am so excited to help people with acne struggles. I am so happy for you and your skin looks amazing. If you would like tips on the redness and dark spots, I would recommend Vitamin C, BHA or AHA serums or toners, Lactic Acid, Azelaic Acid, Aloe Vera, Ceramides (only use if you have dry skin), Green Tea or Reinoids. Don't use any harsh skincare if you continue to use Tretinoin. It could lead to serious sensitivity. But please ask your esthetician if you are unsure about anything. I love you and keep up the great work with your skin❤

youre amazing

From an esthetician, thank you for Making this video!

I don’t wear any makeup out in public and don’t have that much time before school,but I love this process

As an aesthetician who has a similar skin journey as you, I love seeing peoples self confidence increase in the process 🫶🏼 it always hard trying to tell people to trust the process, but love seeing everyone come out on the other side!

Hi myaa i watched you since you lived in Minesoda.. love youu❤️

I did this same exact thing esthetician. We did something she provides called acne boot camp and she provided me with a list of acne triggers including hair products, foods, and makeup. As well as a list of acne safe products! She was so helpful. She also sells skincare and got me on skincare to do at home because 80% is what you do at home and 20% is in the treatment room!

I’m struggling with acne for 10 years now and nothing really helps. This video gives me hope

amazing vidoe i enjoy cheer up hugs for you. youa re strong pretty stunning queen❤

I dealt wirh same. First of all, you are beautiful all the time. Your face doesn't make you who you are . .but I know it feels uncomfortable . Mine is much better, but it's a working process, . I just use skincare day and night . No added anything, no peeks , no chemicals. I'm on antibiotic, no makeup..lots water . . Sometimes it just happens, roceasea, , sometimes my texture is soft , sometimes its not. It is annoying! but be patient , it will get better, I promise.

Acne is a full time job! I’m finally going on accutane at the end of this month. I’m currently on 100mg of spironolactone

This video was absolutely amazing! You have no idea how many young women this video will help! You are so strong and I am so glad you are feeling confident again! You are beautiful no matter what! 🩷

you are so beautiful

For anyone that takes spironolactone, there is a purging period that starts when you start taking it. For me it got worse before it got better and now my skin is clear.

Can you please do a skin care routine for morning and night!!!!

Woooww thank for share w/ us

got off birth control in july, have been having really bad hormonal acne! ive been getting my hormones tested and hoping to clear my acne up soon!

A b.e.a.utiful transformation Benway. 💃😊 I use adapalene to control my acne breakouts.

Hi Mya!!! I’m not sure if you’re a candidate for BBL/MOXI laser but I’ve seen such incredible skin transformations from it

I'm 14 and have worse acne and I feel ugly asf rn and for the past 10 months it sucks bc I was always so confident

Dairy can also play a big part I didn’t know I had a dairy intolerance which would cause breakouts diet is def worth looking into

❤

Just know U are also beautiful!

☺ thankyou.

I don’t know if you know, but Spironolactone is a water pill. I used to take it and even when I drank lots of water it made me very fatigued. Make sure you’re drinking lots of water while taking!

Thank you Mya for sharing. As someone going through bad acne and being insecure about even seeing my family and being in public. This video has definitely helped me seen that I am not the only one struggling alone. If you have any more tips for taking care of your skin please let me know because I definitely hate how I look right now and it feels like I can’t do anything but cover my face up. Thank you Mya.

I love you Mya🥺❤️❤️‍🩹🥺💓🫶🏻💅😩

❤❤

I wished you would’ve talked about supplements and your gut health because I know you mentioned you were tryna fix that too

Does the Dae hair shampoo and conditioner make your hair soft Mya? I'm currently looking for a new shampoo and conditioner and I was just wondering if the Dae hair shampoo and conditioner actually makes your hair super soft and not greasy. My current shampoo and conditioner that I'm using right now isn't working and makes my hair so greasy and oily so I need to know if Dae hair shampoo and conditioner actually makes your hair soft and not greasy or oily
