get proactive it is really working for me hope this helps :)

experience with product

I read a book by a native American Indian on wild, edible and medicinal plants, who claims that the wild plant New Jersey Tea (Zeniths America nus) works better than any over-the-counter medications. If you can acquire this plant through a wholesale supplier, you can make daily poultice's and apply them over the infected areas. He states that this application will clear up acne faster than anything on the market. But I would surmise that you'll need to apply this remedy until you grow out of the stage when this problem no longer persists

im not sure what accunate is but i have acne as well and i went to the doctors and he gave me antibiotics. They do work and im happy im on them. However after a while (maybe like 2 years, but im referring to the ones im on) your body builds up a resistance and so you need to change antibiotics. But i do recommend it.

try using Niapads they work really fast, they contain Vit B3 (niacinamide) and they are a natural and green product. your skin will clear up completely.

Wash your face twice a day with warm water and a good face wash.
You can buy good face washes just about anywhere, they're not too expensive.
I recommend a wash with salicylic acid. It will work just fine with less irritation.
* Benzoyl Peroxide is also effective at treating acne, but in my experience it causes a lot of dryness and redness.

After you wash, make sure you moisturize your skin within 5 minutes.
* It's important to use a non-comedogenic lotion. These kind of lotions do not irritate the skin.
* Keeping your face moisturized will reduce dryness and your face will be less oily. It's very important.

Never touch your face or pop your pimples. Popping them will only make them worse, and they'll spread.
- If you must pop them, wipe your face immediately after with alcohol. This will kill the bacteria so they won't spread.
* Alcohol will dry your face out really fast so I wouldn't do this very often.

*Lemon Juice is used as a homeopathic treatment for acne. Lemon juice also contains one of the AHAs or Alpha Hydroxy Acids and can be used to slough off dead skin, promoting skin elasticity, and enabling new skin cell growth rise from underneath.

Keep your pillow cases clean. Wash them often. Once a week if possible.

This isn't a one time thing, you have to continue this over time to see a difference. Once you get in the routine it will become natural and your face will be flawless!

* FOR SCARS *

Buy some vitamin E.
You can get it at any pharmacy. It's really cheap.
Get about 3 of them out. Use something sharp to puncture the gel coating. Squeeze the vitamin E on the whole effected area. Leave it on for about an hour.

Other benefits of vitamin E on the skin..
* Helps to remove wrinkles
* Moisturizes
* Reduces redness
* Generally makes your face more look and feel more youthful

Be careful with the vitamin E on your face.. If you get it on your pillow case you'll have to wash it. Possibly twice. It won't be sticky or anything.. But it will leave a dark spot.
