How do you get rid of acne??
Question:
Answers:
The products you are using, are they Salsylic Acid or Benzoyl peroxide? BP can be VERY drying. I personally like SA better. Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! Try finding a face lotion with SA in it. Clean and Clear has a good moisturizer with SA and it helps keep pimples at bay. It is only about $5 a bottle and lasts about 2 months and you can get it at your local store. I have used this in the past and it works well. Personally, I use Biore products (which you get over the counter. Their products range from $5-$10). They are harsh on pimples, but not on your face.
Personally, Proactive didn't work for me. I have been using Biore products for over a year and I hardly ever break out! Occasionally I will get one or two, but nothing bad. I use Biore Ice Cleanser for acne and Biore warming facial scrub every morning for blackheads (This stuff works. I notcied a DRASTIC difference in my blackheads being GONE within 2 weeks) . And then 3-4 day s a week I use Biore purging pore cream scrub. For body acne I use Neutrogena acne body wash I never break out on my body. It gets 110 in summer so sweat in inevitably, yet I never break out. Give it a try. All of it is cheap too. About $5-10 depending on what you buy! I think you will just need to experiment with products until you find what works for you. Remember, it can take 1 month for products to fully begin working! Good Luck!
Believe it or not proactive works really well.
Don't touch it and clean your face everyday.
I agree with Grumble, proactive.
chop your head off....
proactiv worked for me
ProActiv was the only thing that's worked for me. I've recently switched to the Wal-Mart brand (AcneFree), and it's worked petty good so far.
Proactive works but it really dries out your skin.
If you go to a spa and get a facial, the esthetician can recommend some good treatments specifically for your skin type. You can also go to a dermatologist and get a special prescription for you acne.
But in all honesty... drink lots of water, minimize fatty foods, and when you have breakouts... azulen paste works wonders!
wash your face everyday, dab it with alcohol before you go to bed, try avocado masks, use facial moisturizers, and avoid eating chocolate
Depends on how bad it is and how quick you want to get rid of it. Tea tree oil works well, as does toothpaste to each area, anything with sAs acid works well.
I know I can't use this forum to sell things, but I must tell you just from my personal experience with severe acne that even after accutane, proactive and retin A that NOTHING has worked better than my skin care regime I put together through Avon. I am acne free (well, for all intensive purposes - I mean there is no cure for acne, but NO ONE can tell I have it!!)
PS- Proactive may work for a little while, but it really does dry out your skin, and is expensive and the success WILL plateau after a while.
ok i know u might hate to hear this but wen i went on vacation i layed out but i never wore make up all week and all my pimples went away even the ones on my chest u just have to sometimes take a break from the make up and its amazing what it does but yea proactive also works
I would say go to a dermatologist, that would probely be your best bet. Instead of wasteing your money on ance products that may or may not help. Gooooood Luck!!
Don't laugh at this one as it really does help on the acne apply a little bit of toothepaste and rub in. I know this works as I have done this myself. I never have the problem anymore.
Ok take every other idea or product and throw it out the window i have the holy grail for getting rid of Acne..If you have mild to little acne then Proactive works decent but if your having a tough problem with acne then i recomend 3 things Minocycline this is a pill that you take once a day. then Diffren its a gel that you put on in the morning, and finally Benzclin which is a cream that you apply at night. Stick with those 3 things a day and your acne will be clearing up in 1-2 weeks. Just ask for these three things from your doctor it works wonder,
