What is the best acne treatment or product?

I have used proactive, neutrogena, gels, and other useless products that just didn't cure my acnes. my skin is very oily and sensitive. I use make up every time I get out of home, like powder stuff. o and yeah I'm 18 yrs old and have acne since i was about 13 years old. anyways, have you tried any acne product or treatment that actually worked for u? Thank You

Responses:

First, you should wash you're face 2x a day. morning and night exfoliate 2x a week. Usually you should talk to your doctor about this because I did with mine and they helped me alot. and now i have no more acne!
The sun is a natural way of clearing acne up. Oily hair from hair products usually break teenagers out and sweets, everyones different. If its that bad of acne, try going to the doctor and see what they recommend
i use proactiv and it works a wonder
a good diet, is the first step. along with a lot of water. buy one of those large containers of water and drink as much a day as you can. as for face wash, you say you have oily skin. i do too, use biore it really worked for me. my skin was like. bleh, a lot a lot better now. = and make sure to wash your face with a cloth. avoid touching your face with your hands, fingers, altogether. the oil on your hands makes it worse. also, before you go to sleep at night either put some rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and rub it all over your face. but not too much. or take powder and cover your face with it like a mask. it keeps your pores dry, and doesn't allow pimples to grow. or, steam your face, and then close the pores with ice. i know that;s a lot, but it helps = at least it helped me
Try this simple remedy. Wash your face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave your face oil free without aggravating the pimples like soap. The secret of keeping the skin clear is to keep it oil - free and clean. More such solutions at solutionsforpimples. blogspot.com /
i feel for you. I have had acne for a while and i can not find the right thing to use. You might get some good tips here but since everyone has different skin, you're probably better off going to a dermatologist and finding out exactly what is most effective for you. Good luck
differen for sure
Unfortunately from my own experience I found most products did not work. One brand I found that helped was called Dermologica. Helpful tips that I used helped in time to clear up my skin was:Getting older; Don't wear to much makeup, makeup only clogs ur pores the skin can not breathe, do not pick your face only makes them worse - they will clear up quicker if you leave them alone. I found many products containing peroxide burnt my face, try to use products that derived from natural plant extracts. Last resort talk to ur local GP there are other alternatives out there. Good Luck! ;
try changing some of the foods you eat a lot of. like fried, oil, greasy foods. a lot of sweets too. when i break out a lot i know its from a lot of sweets happens with in a day of eating a lof of sweets. Otherwise my skin is very clear and healthy, i also use neutrogena though. try asking the dr. for something. try making sure you get the makeup off b4 bed never use soap and water though. try washing a daily basis and getting something for oily skin. i think best try would be the dr though
Proactive. lol
My sister used to use Noxzema. it worked really well. you can get it at any drug store
I have been a pharmacist for 22 years and the only over the counter med that works is anything made with at least 5% benzoyl peroxide i. e. Oxy 5
differin is so great. but you need a prescription for it so see a dermatologist and they will tell you what's best for your skin. also, a lot of my friends who had horrible acne took certain acne and their skin is so clear now
if you are willing to spend some money, get clinique! it is amazing, like seriously. the spot clearing gel works OVER NIGHT! its about $13 but a bottle lasts about 6 months. i can not explain how good it is
Ima 16 year old teen male, and have had mild acne since the 7th grade. You should def. try Morning burst by clean and clear. It will come in a green bottle and will have these beads inside. I use this product everyday 3 - 4 times a day along with the Acne spot treatment 10%. I hope this helps! ;
I have heard gypsy tears do the trick quite well
I was just at my doctor today, and he said to use things that have Benzyl Peroxide as the first ingredient in the ingredients list. Benzyl Peroxide is antibacterial
acutane is a medicine that can be prescribed to you by a dermatologist. It has clinically been proven to be the best cure for acne, with reductions in scarring. Use of neutrogena face washes throughout, as well as exposure to sunlight can help. Be careful while on acutane, your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight
Grind mint or tulsi leaves and add a little water to get a thick paste. Apply this on acne / pimple area Applying papaya paste also good. Add a little water to cinnamon powder and apply
Hi, Well I myself had acne, I started breaking out when I started running in the track team. I lost confidence, and was embarr ed to speak to people. What I did was go to the doctor, and he prescribed me Oral medication, and a face gel. The Oral medication Minocycline fought the skin infection which you might have, and the gel made me peel which causes my face to grow newer, and brighter skin. At first it was pretty gross, and my face irritated with the sun. So sun screen had to be used. And now I do not have any acne problems. But all this was prescribed by a doctor. Some people are different. You could also watch what you eat. Fatty foods make me break out. Hope this helps. Try the site I gave you, and ask a doctor. GOOD LUCK! =
I personally use Benzaclyn, keeps my face grease - free all day long!
I stopped using acne products because it dried my skin out, which made my pores make excessive amounts of oil causing more acne. I started drinking the recommended 8 cups of water a day and stopped eating fatty / junky foods and myskin cleared up within 2 weeks also, clean your ow case every few days, a dirty ow contributes a lot to acne
zap zit, proactive. Trust me hun My face was full of zits but now I is beautiful
it really depends on the person. I have heard ProActive worked for a lot of people, then again my two best friends uesd it and hated it. it dried out their faces. try going to skinID.com or a dermatologist for a more personalized skin treatment
proactive is the best, I dk why it did not work for you
I sympathize with you. I have bought all the same treatments for my son and daughter. Ultimately, I put my son on accutaine but not my daughter because it can cause birth defects - my logic was that men continually make sperm whereas women are born with all their eggs. Check out this site under skin care, there is a treatment that may help. your - health - remedies.com
I had it since 4th or 5th grade. used stupid proactive, acne free, . everything. Made my skin worse, some worked 4 a moth and stoped. I finally went to a dermatologist. and yay! here comes "Epiduo", and "Finacea". The only things that cleared my severe acne and scars. but its perscription and a lot of money, but its worth it. i promise you it will work

omg its so sad. that there are millions and millions of people suffering from acne = there are so many things out there i do not know where to start. i tried Proactiv. it worked but it irritated my skin. = my friends have acne. and they have used so many things. they have used clean and clear. nuetrogena and so and so. try proactiv. if you do not like it. return it. i know its frustruating. but you have to be patient. and when you try something new. you have to use it for weeks to see real results. do not switch to different things often because it will only make your skin worse. = good luck
I have tried a lot of those things and they do not work for me either. But from what I have read, using honey as a mask for about 30 minutes helps. Also, using a cotton ball, dab it into some egg whites then add it to your face. I have used this method and it works after a few days. You could also use tomatoes instead of egg whites. Those were home remedies, for actual medication, Neutrogena works wonders
proactive
mustard on the face srsly
I use Evoclin foam, expensive but it really clears up your face. Although it may sting a little when you first put it on, it is gentler than some. And if you have any breakouts on your back or anything like that, it works anywhere, so it's worth the price
First, I understand where you're coming from. I grew up with really bad acne, not only on my face but on my body as well. It was embarr ing and I tried everything including cleansers, creams, prescription medications, antibiotics, over the counter medications, and even shots from the dermatologist ouch! to get rid of it. I never did until many years later when it did not matter as much. topsecretacnevolution. blogspot.com / Here's what I found out after lots of research and trial and error, the hard way. It's not a topical issue, it doesn't help much to treat it from the outside, it's an inside job. When you treat it from the outside it's like treating the symptoms, not the cause. You will hear from many people that's not the case, and it's usually because they want you to buy their creams or lotions, and keep buying them month after month after month or they haven't experienced the truth. Of course, when you stop using it as you have experienced your blemishes come back. because you're not treating the cause. And the costs for all of these routines / drugs add up month after month. If you think about it logically, it makes sense. Why do we get rashes, breakouts, or other skin irritations? It's usually because of something we ate, something that was not meant to be put on our skin, something that caused us stress and our body reacts to all those things. Bottom line is that most every cause of acne is related to what you eat, how you feel and how you take care of yourself. Your skin is a reflection of what's on the inside. We have lots of toxins building up in our systems and they have to be cleaned out on the inside and that will reflect on the outside. The blemishes, rashes, acne, etc are indications that your body is reacting to what you're eating, to stress, toxins, chemicals, hormones. literally a great number of things. Basically what I did in a nutshell was clean out my system by taking out the processed and junk foods, and added as much fresh fruits and vegetables to my diet as possible. This part is key. I also started drinking a lot of water daily, starting with 3 or 4 gl es when I wake up adding a squeeze of fresh lemon at times. I also got more active every day, walking, running, sports, jumping, whatever, just getting active. It not only gave me more energy, it help flush out the toxins that were clogging up my system.

i have tried so many acne treatments also, . nothing seemed to work and all it did was just dry out my skin, especially proactive. im currently using an acne treatment called exposed and my skin is finally CLEAR ! :p lol, exposed rly works and fast too, you will see big changes in only 2 weeks and it will not dry out your skin one bit ! it works great on all skin types because its SO strong but also very very gentle. anything you need to know is on its website, exposedskincare.com / cgi - bin / category. cgi?category=landerv4&gclid=CIf2nrP3qJkCFQ0NDQodIhXbpA just know that your skin might get slightly worse as your skin gets use to it but you should have crazy results in 2 weeks and perfectly clear skin in just 1 month. also beware its slightly on the expensive side but the bottles last two months ! hope it helps : p. s. if it doesn't work for some odd reason, go to your doctor or dermatologist and ask him what acne care is best for your skin
