Has anyone else had facial break outs after quitting? I look like a teenager and it's making me insane. I still wash my face the same.

Since the Quit Zits are quite a famed adjustment period side effect, I figure I should balance it out a bit with my experience. I'm 34, and always seem to have that one pretty bad spot, basically all my life. Had bad skin as a child, and generally look quite oily. All that stopped as soon as I stopped smoking and started vaping. Now my skin is never oily and I don't think I've had a noticeable spot for at least 4 months. That may well be the longest stint in the last 15 years. This occured to me at Christmas when I smiled for the obligatory holiday picture and realized there wasn't any spot I had to hide from the camera. 
Hoorah for the drying effects of PG.

I had some breaking out issues when I started vaping but it all cleared up in a couple of months. I did however increase my water intake to help flush toxins and washed my face several times a day. All clear for me now!
For the first 6 months, I always had one giant, painful red zit, somewhere. I'm 36. I'm not vain but it bugged the crap out of me.
It was just a phase though, been clear for at least the last 6 months.
Just wait it out.

When I started vaping, I came down with the worst case of zitty-scalp and greasy dandruff I'd had since high school. My skin looked like I'd been snacking all day on lard straight from the can.
These charming side effects went away after a couple of months.

I only had occasional minor blemishes throughout my life. I'm 32 and smoked for 17 years a ppd. I have now been vaping for a little over a month, and I did experience some of the quit zits in the first two weeks. They have since went away by using my normal skin care and drinking LOTS of water! Flushing the toxins out helps I think. Haven't had any blemishes in about 2 weeks Hope it improves for you. Good luck!

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one! I also got the occasional pimple in the most inaccessible locations within my nose...
These issues lasted for over six months and are almost non-existent now. I just figured it's my body extruding some of the trash it's accumulated in the 46 years I smoked.
Fortunately, I've had a great complexion, so no facial zits for me. Now, if I could only get rid of this growing population of these day-um aging spots...
I am breaking out also. Sadly I have never had acne. I have more zits on my face now then in my entire life :

When does it go away

My chin is breaking out like crazy, and I'm too old for zits! I am carrying around Clearacil (sp?) Pads .... easy to use and cuts the grease.

Those are the worst...maybe not as bad as the ones you get in the crevice of your ear though.
My acne flared up for about 9 months after I quit smoking. I just was noticing that I hadn't had any break outs in the last few months so hopefully my body as stablelized. My body rebelled when I quit smoking.
