Amy Schumer just shared a glowing selfie, revealing she used “no filter” and “no filler.”
The actress, 43, posted the fresh-faced photo via her Instagram Stories and page on Saturday, January 25, writing, “What can I say It was a good night.”
When asked by a follower what made it such a good evening, Schumer responded in the comments section, “Good family time then got to perform with people I love and respect.”
Her post comes after Schumer opened up about her Cushing syndrome diagnosis during a “Call Her Daddy” podcast episode on Wednesday, January 22. (Cushing syndrome is a disorder caused by elevated cortisol in the blood, and leads to a swollen, red, round face.)
Schumer said she found out she had the disease after internet trolls pointed out her “puffy” face during a press tour last year. Some medical professionals chimed in, however, and that’s when she realized the puffiness might be a serious side effect.

Amy Schumer actually has online trolls to thank for leading her to Cushing Syndrome diagnosis. Schumer, 43, opened up about “the internet coming for her” swollen face in 2024 press appearances during a “Call Her Daddy” podcast episode on Wednesday, January 22. At first, she tried to brush off the insults until “doctors [started] chiming […]
She told host Alex Cooper, “They were, like, ‘No, no … something’s really up. Your face looks so crazy that we think something’s up.’”
Turns out she had Cushing, which she was diagnosed with in February 2024 — right before she started filming Kinda Pregnant, hitting Netflix on February 5.
“I was getting these steroid injections, and so it gave me this thing called Cushing syndrome; which I wouldn’t have known if the internet hadn’t come for me so hard,” she added. “I learned that I had something called ‘moon face,’ and I’m starring in a movie and there’s a camera in my face, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God.’ I was feeling really down on myself before I started filming this movie.”
Schumer said director Lorraine Caffery “amp[ed] me up” and reassured her that she looked “f—ing great.” Turns out, her system “just had to work itself out” and her face is now, as seen in her latest selfie, radiant.
“Happy for you. You also look great,” Cheyenne Jackson commented, with Olivia Munn adding, “Pretttyyyy.”

After social media users insulted her appearance last year, Schumer told journalist Jessica Yellin for Substack’s News Not Noise column that diagnosing Cushing was no easy task and she feared for her future, as well as her son, Gene, 5, whom she shares with husband Chris Fischer.
“The shaming and criticism of our ever-changing bodies is something I have dealt with and witnessed for a long time,” she added. “I want so much for women to love themselves and be relentless when fighting for their own health in a system that usually doesn’t believe them.”
