Home remedy-for acne?!


Question: I'm almost 30 years old and am suffering from acne worse now than when I was a teen. I've tried Biore, Noxema, and spent lots of $$ on stuff like AcneFree or ProActive, and it clears up for a while, but w/ in a day or 2 I have new breakouts. Anyone have any home-remedies. I've heard urine works, and am getting SO despearate, I'd almost consider it! Any tips?

Acne is a result of an imbalance of two or several factors in skin condition relating to the duct system and sebaceous gland.Log on to http://tipsfromruby-acne.blogspot.com/ for a few home made tips to heal acne .

lol dont rub pee all over your face please! lol phisoderm works really good for washing your face day and night. and sometimes if i feel a bad zit coming on i dab a little toothpaste on it and by the morning its gone. its ghetto but it works. i wouldn't suggest rubbing it all over ur face tho.

the best natural way to help your skin is tea tree oil. it's excellent!

You should try colloidal silver. You can make your own generator out of a battery wired to 2 rods of pure silver. Silver kills bacteria. You can wash your face with it and drink it.

its true about the pee. i know its gross but when i was a teen, i used that for a while and it does help, yet its a bit gross. i wouldnt recommend it, i used to have th worst acne...my skin cleared up quite a bit now that i am almost 21. right before my period it gets kinda bad. here are other things i hvae used in the past and still do today, dependeing on wha tkinda job u have, i am a CNA and sweat like crazy, so in between breaks i go to the bathroom and rinse off my face with water, that way the sweat doesnt start clogging up my pores...which will eventually turn into zits...another thing i hvae used in the past that makes ur skin feel reall good is buy yeast, get a bowl stir about 3 tablesppons in or more, add a bit i think cold water, but it could be warm, stir it gently til u have this cream like texture and apply it over ur face and leave it on for a good 15 minutes..do that 2 daily, it should get better..i did that and that worked real well for me. good luck! oh and to put toothpaste on an actual zit works real good for me as well.

Hi, I've heard that putting a dab of toothpaste on individual spots helps, but I've never tried it.

I'm 36 and have had problem skin since I was a teen. It's improved a lot since I stopped using soap or any other 'washes', lotions, creams, etc. Try going for a couple of weeks using nothing but neat water to clean your face. I like to soak a flannel in water that's as hot as I can stand it, then place it over my face for about 10-15 seconds. I figure that makes the excess oils easier to wipe away.

I've also improved my diet recently and eat more fruit and veg and drink more fruit juice, so that might have helped.

The only other thing I do that may benefit my skin is I get a lot more fresh air and sunshine. I used to be stuck inside at work, but since I started working for myself I can fit my hours around new outdoor hobbies.

Sounds like maybe you didn't stick with something that might have worked if you had used it longer and had appropriate expectations for what it could do.

I don't think Noxzema is actually an acne product. It's got lots of oils in it, and nothing with oil in it is going to be a good acne cure. I can't speak to Biore, or AcneFree, because I haven't used those. But I have used ProActive, and it sounds like (1) you don't understand the lifecycle of an acne blemish, and (2) you didn't use the product long enough.

Acne has three stages, and the three basic products in the ProActive line address each of the three stages. You have to use them together (meaning on the same day, one right after the other) for the product line to be effective, and since many blemishes are in their infant stage under your skin when you start the program, you will have some that will continue to erupt for a little while, until the program has stopped them from forming under your skin.

If it was me, I'd go back and redo the ProActive before rubbing piss on my face.

Hi it might not be acne it might be rosacea. But in any case go to www.clearandsmoothskin.com. I use it for my rosacea (I'm 52 and have had problems for 5 years with my face). my teen son uses it for acne. I have been using for 1yr. and my face looks fantastic. Go to the sight and they will tell you everything you need to know. And it's all natural ingredients. It' s the best product out there that I happened to come across.
