Longlisted for the 2019 PEN Open Book Award "Devastating and lyrical." --The New York Times "Suspenseful and affecting." --The New Yorker From the celebrated poet behind bone, a lyrical memoir--part poetry, part prose--about coming-of-age, uncovering the cruelty and beauty of the wider world, and redemption through self-discovery and the bonds of family "You may not run away from the thing that you arebecause it comes and comes and comes as sure as you breathe." This is the story of Yrsa Daley-Ward, and all the things that happened--"even the terrible things. And God, there were terrible things." It's about her childhood in the northwest of England with her beautiful, careworn mother Marcia; the man formerly known as Dad (half fun, half frightening); and her little brother Roo, who sees things written in the stars. It's also about the surreal magic of adolescence, about growing up and discovering the power and fear of sexuality, about pitch-gray days of pills and powder and connection. It's about damage and pain, but also joy. Told with raw intensity and shocking honesty, The Terrible is a memoir of going under, losing yourself, and finding your voice.

GOOD
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This wash is excellent. It provides powerful cleansing, helps reduce acne effectively, and leaves the skin feeling fresh. The foaming formula is easy to use and works quickly without being overly harsh. Overall, a very good product and highly recommended for acne-prone skin.

Clears breakout without playing around
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This face wash means business. It lathers up nicely and you can actually feel it working on your skin. After a few uses, my breakouts looked calmer and less angry, and my skin felt way cleaner overall.
It can be a little drying if you overdo it, so moisturizer is a must, but if you’re dealing with stubborn acne, this one gets straight to the point. No fluff, just results.

Gave me hope again for my back acne
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’ve been struggling with acne on my back since I was a teen and I’m now in my 30s and still struggling. I had taken accutane (several times) and it was the only thing that has cleared me but it always came back. I decided that I’m not gonna risk potentially hurting myself over that medication again and consistently (no matter if I didn’t feel like it!) started washing my back with this every night (even if I didn’t wash my hair). I would leave it on for at least 5 minutes and then rinse it off, then moisturize. After a month this has been the CLOSEST to clear my skin has ever gotten besides accutane. I’ve tried virtually everything. I was honestly surprised, and although it’s not perfectly clear, it’s made a significantttttt difference. It’s worth a try if you plan to be serious about it. I wish I would have taken a before picture, I just didn’t have high expectations at first!!

Can do wonders but also can completely strip your healthy skin barrier
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Awesome product ONLY IF YOU HAVE SEVERE BREAKOUTS AND OILY SKIN. STAY AWAY IF YOU HAVE SLIGHTLY DRY SKIN AND/OR MINOR BREAKOUTS- not worth the risk.
I used it for back acne and it really helped. DO NOT MIX WITH OTHER ACNE PRODUCTS.
But HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE WARNING!!!!!——
This is NOT a great play for your face or truly anyone who doesn’t have severe acne and oily skin. Yes, it eliminates acne. If your face is extremely oil and acne prone, every few days would be fine.
I, myself, always thought my face was a mix of oily and dry- but I had a lot of hormonal acne from birth control. At first, I would use this every few days (every other, every 3, depending), and I noticed it improving my facial acne as well. I used it for 3+ months. THEN *TRIGGER WARNING* I suddenly one day broke out in HIVES. It completely STRIPS YOUR SKIN BARRIER IF YOU OVERUSE IT OR IF YOUR SKIN IS NOT SEVERELY BROKEN OUT. Red, swollen, bumps, all over my face for a week straight. My face burned so bad I couldn’t even cry it hurt. I couldn’t sleep good. Couldn’t touch my face. Couldn’t even put on moisturizer. Not even an ice pack helped. I had to stop hot showers and every single facial product/makeup for multiple weeks to heal my face. I noticed after I stopped using it, it almost made my acne better on my face- like it truly did strip my skin barrier. I will no longer be putting this on my face UNLESS I have severe acne breakouts, and if that is the case it would be a ONE TIME use. I also DO NOT use it everyday on my back or chest, it’s more of an every other- every few days type of deal.
BE ADVISED- does the job, but can also make things worse.
