Acne help??!


Question: I have occasional breakouts, especially right before my period starts. I heard proactive isn't very good because it stops working when you stop using it or something. plus, it's too pricey.

any ideas on what to do??? and if you're going to suggest a creme, is it actually effectable? is it affordable? and does it smell good? cuz I tried an acne creme, and it smelled awful.

ew I hate Proactive it peels off your skin, Try Nuetrogena oil free acne wash, it comes in a yellow tube that lasts a long time and pretty cheap too, plus you can just buy it from the store instead of waiting two weeks for proactive, which I hate, it burns your skin off and doesnt do anything, wash your face everyday with Nuetrogina oil free acne wash, do it for a month and your acne will dissappear, then just use soap and water after your acne is gone and they wont come back again. Good luck

What the skin needs is a product that clears pores and kills bacteria, thus preventing hair follicles from clogging and turning into acne. This is what you should be looking for if you want to get rid of those ugly acne.

Before trying any treatment, I suggest you read this informational source that listed the most effective acne treatments available:

P.S. I also know someone who used to suffer from severe acne for 14 YEARS and finally got rid of it completely. She's sharing her story at her site:

prescriptions work best

You might want to try birth control pills....they help regulate your hormones so you won't get outbreaks before your period.

I use proactive. It is only 50 a mo. and you get the whole supply. It works well for me.

Try taking a poop and whiping it all over your face. It does miracles

Go to the dermatologist! Seriously they helped my skin better than any drugstore or infomercial creams.

Well, i wouldnt no about the whole period thing, but if you just wash your face everyday and you try to eat healthy food everyday than it'l just dissapear

ALL U NEED!

ignore the other stuff- u cant be using prescription meds all the time , proactiv is just too expensive

2 things cheap!

1) Oxy 10% facewash- use daily as soap morning and night

2) Neutrogena healthy Skin face lotion - use daily apply to early pimples before they erupt, apply every night!

if no help, ur problem is hormone related, see ur doctor u might need a birth controll pill to regularize ur hormones!

Try J&J clean and clear acne wash...once a day...i have it in my shower....works all day,,,worth a try.

To get rid of acne. Try a gentle cleanser. One that is glycerin or sorbitol based will be good and it does not need to be expensive. Cetaphil and Neutrogena has some pretty good ones. Try Cetaphil? Gentle Skin Cleanser.

Wash your face at least twice a day and everytime after you perspire. If your skin is the oily kind, you do not need to apply any moisturizer, your skin oils are enough to keep it hydrated. If you really must apply a gentle light oil free one. Cetaphil? Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 or Cetaphil? Moisturizing Lotion is quite good

Apply pimple cream to the acne area. Try benzoyl peroxide low strength(2.5%) first. You can try oxy, panoxyl or Neutrogena brands. Neutrogena on-the-spot is pretty good. Don't pick poke scrub or pop your pimples unless you want scars which are really ugly. Scrubbing cleansers or washes are also no-nos because it equals picking and poking and makes acne worse Treated pimples gently.

Eat healthy. Make sure you drink plenty of water. Cut down on sugar and carb intake. Foods like chocolates, coffee, soda drinks, bread, rice potatoes or anything starchy and sugary are no-nos. Cut down on oily and fried foods also. Go for grilled, steamed or baked food. Make sure you eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Ensure that your diet is rich in vitamin A, B5, C, E and Omega-3 which are important for the skin. Less stress and sleeping enough is also important. Not having enough sleep is like putting stress on your body. Makes sure you sleep at least 8 hours a day.

Visit a dermatologist if it doesn't work or worsen. Products can only help that much. You may need to tackle the problem internally with medication.

There is a new product called gennie salve you can order it off their website of the same name. I gave it to my son who has always had bad acne he tried it and saw a difference in just a few days. Its all natural and smells like peppermint. Try it I dont think youll be disappointed. www.genniesalve.com

use benzoyl peroxide and homemade topical niacinamide.
check out http://www.acnetreatmentlab.com for information. they work best when combined because benzoyl peroxide kills the bacteria while niacinamide prevents inflammation and promotes healing.
