I have pretty bad acne what is the best way to get rid of it?

You should use accutane, it is the best about it you can get information from here http://drug-treatment.notlong.com/?q=accutane%26amp;qid=20090611153838AA0wabCI have pretty bad acne what is the best way to get rid of it?
Assuming you are female, you should get Dianette from your GP as it clears up spots amazingly well. Or try Yasmin, which is not as powerful but works well too.I have pretty bad acne what is the best way to get rid of it?
You might find that your acne is caused by a gluten intolerance that you don't know you have. You could try going on a gluten free diet. Gluten is found in wheat, oats, barley and rye. You might need to do this for a while to see if your condition improves. Five minutes won't be enough!

i really want my skin to look healthy ans smooth but the big huge pimples in my face are stopping me. please help. I have REALLI bad acne, i always have scars from pimples that come up in my face what would you recommend?! ?
if it's really bad really your only option is to go to a dermatologist and have them prescribe medication that will work with the kind of acne you have


go as soon as you can because getting rid of acne is a lot easier than getting rid of acne scarsI have REALLI bad acne, i always have scars from pimples that come up in my face what would you recommend?! ?
dont buy any of the acne products no matter what theyll burn ur skin i take a pharmacy class and found out that the best thing for acne is guess what? CHAMOMILLE LOTION!!!


just use an artist brush to ';paint it on'; your face at bedtime and let your sleep with it and in the morning rub it off with a cloth soaked in soap and warm water your skin will be soft after the first try and youll start seeing results after a week or so

Your probably better going to a dermatology clinic. They will give you creams and tablets to help with it and if that fails they do some laser surgery thing to remove the acne.
I would suggest:





http://www.neutrogena.com/ProductsDetail鈥?/a>





http://www.zyporex.com/








I would NOT suggest:





Differin





Clearasil





I would chose the one called Zyporex, it works fast! Good Luck!
I have heard that Proactive solution works really good (from friends) maybe u could try that and they have a website to order from just type in proactive solution


good luck!

Acne trouble - I have bad acne ... I tried everything but they seem not to go away. Can you give me ideas!!!?

Acne is never fun and there are several sensible things you can do to help your situation. Always remember to eat clean healthy food and stay away from junk food as much as possible, and drink tons of pure water. If you have a severe case, go into your local guru in holistic medicine and see what solutions they can offer. There some tremendous natural remedies that can help and I have had great success with mine doing this. There are a couple of products I would recommend, one is Acnezine and another neat tool that I find helps get rid of nasty flare ups fast, is a little tool called a zit zapper.Acne trouble - I have bad acne ... I tried everything but they seem not to go away. Can you give me ideas!!!?
u put past of turmeric and sandal power ,add some rose water also ,this makes u feel better and it takes some time . but sure it cures , if not tell me i will help u .Acne trouble - I have bad acne ... I tried everything but they seem not to go away. Can you give me ideas!!!?
Have you looked into this natural acne cure?
You don't necessary need ance cream to get rid of acne. trust me i've tried heaps...i used to hav heaps of fat, ugly acne on my face but not anymore!!!


All you need to do is drink lots and lots of water everyday, sleep early and don't stay up too late, cleanse your face with any kind of cleanser like nitrogener and clean and clear, don't eat too many chocolates and sweets, but eat advocado and other fruit and veg.


(i'm not sure about the chocolate and fruit and veg part...that's wat my mum told me XD)
two words: paper bag
i dont usually get acne, but when i do i use mary kays velocity as soon as i notice and almost always by the next day it is gone. use it before bed and when you wake up. its only like 10$ and its worth every penny. and it smells good:)
Try using tea tree oil. Its about $5.00 at walmart. Its great for the whole body. Dont use it at full strength though, dilute it with water. You can also try washing your face with warm green tea bags and letting it stay on about 10 minutes and then washing it off with cool water. If you wear makeup, try not to fall asleep wearing it and wash it off every night. Also you can try a makeup called (sheer cover)that not only covers up the acne but helps clear up your skin. Proactive is ok but it tends to dry the skin out. Good Luck :)
try tetrocyclin. trust me. I thought I had tried every thing too, byut then my dermatologist triued one last thing, tetrocyclin. It's an antibotic pill that's a presciption though, so you'll need to get refills from your doctor. But don't be fooled by the pill appearance, this stuff works great!!!
yes! my favorite customer! lolz use clean and clear! omg it helped me even though i have little acne probs, i had this huge bump, and it went away in a matter of 2-4 days! not weeks and keep it on 4 a while!
There are many different types of acne treatment that people can use. Just about everyone you know has some kind of magical remedy. Log on to http://tipsfromruby-acne.blogspot.com/ for a few home made tips to heal acne .
try yogurt it soothes your skin. Also make masks of honey, lemon, milk, and almond oil this helps your skin, removes bacteria, scaring and it soothes and it will not burn your skin. it takes time but it works!!!! if you are allergic to any of the ingredients don't. don't touch your face, don't pop them, and most of all change your pillowcases at least twice a week if you have oily skin, if not try a dermatologist and a cosmetologist for facials those improve your skin!!! good luck honey!!!
Acne or pimples are usually a result of hormonal changes and an irregular and increased production of oil by the sebaceous glands. An excellent remedy for pimples or acne-prone skin can be made by mixing 1 teaspoon ground cloves with 2 tablespoons fullers earth and ice water. When you wash your face, use sugar to scrub it, at least once a day, for two weeks to rid yourself of acne. Check out http://useinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.

Is gelatin in a multivitamin bad for my acne?

ok so i take a multi vitamin but i also have mild acne, i heard that gelatin and iodine in vitamins can make acne worse, is this true? also i wanted to take a skin hair and nails vitamin but they have alot of gelatin so does anyone know if it really does cause acne? thanks so much!!!Is gelatin in a multivitamin bad for my acne?
No, it doesn't. Gelatin is just a protein. Basically, it's the clear outside of the pill, like really stiff Jell-O. It IS really stiff Jell-O when you get right down to it. It will not have any effect on your acne.

  • I have like REALLY REALLY bad acne and dont know wat to do!?

    I've tried everything from washing my face everyday to eating nothing but fruits and drinking 8 cups of water every day!!!!!I have like REALLY REALLY bad acne and dont know wat to do!?
    I think you should make an appointment with a dermatologist. There are different grades of acne, and what grade you have determines the course of treatment. Keep drinking the water (that can only help hydrate the skin), wash your face 2 times a day, and use a toner afterward. Try not to touch your face, and keep your hair off of it.





    Hope this helps I have like REALLY REALLY bad acne and dont know wat to do!?
    If you prefer not to seek professional help.


    Try working on the problem from the inside and out


    Consider a detox .. cleansing your system of the toxins in your body


    Vitamin C will help your immune system and drinking lots of clean water





    Try an acne wash, follow by an oil-free toner and cotton rounds to deep clean your pores as well as your skin, wipe your face with a cotton round that you applied the oil-free toner and you will see how dirty it is .. use another clean one until the used cotton round with toner comes clean





    Then use a acne cleansing pad, it's a personal preference if you use more than one or if you choose to use a maximum or sensitive one to go over your face (excluding the eye area)





    Then use the spot treatment for the acne





    Keep you hands out of your face, don't pop the zits as bad as they may look it creates acne scars and be patient, it takes time and you must be consistent and persistent when it comes to acne


    Good luck
    acne is a bacteria that affects everyone but with some it doesn't leave therefore usually soaps and products don't work..





    if you've had it for over 2 years or even a yr then see a dermatologist. he will most probably recommend vitamin A treatment.





    if you dont wanna do that, then try washing your face every hour. and use clinque products. use banana peel over your skin. it dries it too.
    you can look in the yellow pages to find a dermatologist near you. for now try not to touch them because it makes the infection go deeper into your skin. DO NOT wash your face more than twice a day because when you overwash you dry up your skin and it responds by making more oil making your acne worse. during the day you can use Clean and Clear Oil blotting sheets, which absorb oil. i used to have bad acne too but that seems to control it. hope that helps and good luck
    There is a lot of things you can do.





    1. Contact a dermatologist, he/she can prescribe acne medications


    Acne treatments have changed in the past years,





    2. You can go for Facials, depending on where you live,


    (I live in Chicago) , we have a Georgette Klinger salon and


    their facials are great





    3. You can try proactive or murad products, I have not tried them, I


    have heard they are good.








    I am 45, my skin has always been pretty good, I use, Clean and Clear, and witch hazel and exfoliate 3x a month, and I moisturize.





    Your best bet would be to contact a dermatologist though.





    Sorry for being long winded.






    You know what i used to have some really bad acne but you might not believe me but i used proactiv first i thought oo its not gonna work but then i bought for 25.95 if im not mastaking and it work after 2 weeks i couldnt believe it but trust me am a normal person and it helped me just keep using it okay
    Go to your normal doctor and get a referral to see a dermetologist. It'll be a prescription and it should be covered by insurance so no more money down the drain-They personalize it for you and you won't have any problems


    hope i helped ';)
    use a cleanser. i know most of them are very expensive. what happens is your pores get clogged which ae small hole in your skin which causes acne. cleaning it only will not help.try one cleanser and if it doesn't work try a new one.
    See a dermatologist. I had really bad acne myself until the doctor prescribed something for my skin type. Now I'm acne-free.
    seeing a dermatologist is your best bet. he/she can prescribe oral and topical medications for you which will do wonders for your acne
    BENZOIL PEROXIDE 10%
    remember to prevent scars.. don't pick!


    I know its hard though because they are gross!

    Is natural glucose in form of fruits bad for acne?

    Glucose doesn't cause or worsen acne.

    Is it bad if I substitute shaving cream with acne wash when shaving my legs?

    I heard this helps my ingrown hairs on my thighs and knees. and also what does exfoliate mean?Is it bad if I substitute shaving cream with acne wash when shaving my legs?
    its not bad at all, in fact it might help a little. exfoliating just helps remove dead skin and such, you can help the process by exfoliating with a lufa sponge or something of that sort. i exfoliate and use conditioner to shave my legs lol. i would apply lotion afterwards too...just to help with dryness since acne wash dries skin out (as does shaving).Is it bad if I substitute shaving cream with acne wash when shaving my legs?
    I would assume it would hurt, especially if it contains any type of alcohol. I suggest using Intuition, it works wonderfully. After wards, slap on the lotion, don't be stingy use lots, and paying extra attention to dry areas.
    You can shave your legs with baby lotion. You can use a facial mask on your legs it take off the excess skin. You have a problem when you shave in the wrong direction.
    I highly recomend using hair conditioner to shave with. I read this once when I was in like 8th grade in Cosmo and have been doing it ever since. Makes them SUPER smooth!
    Don't think it could hurt... I'd check a small part of your legs first to make sure you don't have a reaction. Another thought is that acne wash might be pretty expensive to use as a shaving cream!!
    do ur legs have acne? lol but just but some colgate and shave them of get them waxed
    Yes, that is fine, it worked good for me.


    Exfoliate means cleaning and taking off dead skin cells. By mildly abrading your skin with exfoliating agents, you will remove the surface layer of dead cells. Afterward, fine lines will be less visible and your complexion will glow.


    Hope I helped. (:
    I wouldn't do that. I have sensitive skin and just the thought of that makes me cringe with pain. I use an aveeno shaving cream for ingrown hairs. If you're going to use acne wash, use it on days that you aren't shaving. Maybe use it the day or two after, but don't replace it. Shaving cream is supposed to protect your skin and I don't think acne was will protect. If you want to exfoliate use a loofah on your legs before you shave and that should help with dead skin.
    The only possible side effect would be dry skin since most acne washes contain drying agents such as benzoil peroxide or salycilic acid. To exfoliate means to scrub off dry/dead skin cells to reveal the fresh skin underneath.
    No, it is fine. It won't hurt anything and the salicylic acid heals with ingrown hairs. To exfoliate means to remove the dead skin cells.
    that might be cool but aren't you a dude. why would a dude shave his legs???? or did you pick the wrong avatar picture dude. ???
    i dont think it would affect anything.


    except you wont be getting acne on you


    legs. which i dont think is possible anyway


    so your good to go. [=
    it is bad.
    it wont do bad unless ur allergic but to exfoliate means to remove dead skin cells, so its entirally ok, but as a heads up, some people who aren't allergic may have some unexpected reacton due to skin irritation thoughout the day and such


    Ana
    It's probably not a good idea since most acne washes dry your skin (especially when used on a part of the body that is not the face). Exfoliate means to remove dead skin cells and you can and should do this in the shower before you shave, and this will help prevent ingrown hairs. You can use a body scrub, or a loofah and moisturizing body wash, both of this work very well.
    there's a reason shaving cream is called shaving cream and acne wash is called acne wash - DUH
    try conditioner, it does the same thing, softens the hair for better shaving
    Teh ance wash is thicker.
    only if you are a guy...just kidding...exfoliate is where the dead layers of skin are chemically peeled away from the fresh live skin..
    exfoliate is a fancy word for hair removal.

    I have bad acne and bad scars, I need some help!?

    OK I've had acne for 4 years already and I've tried so many products, but nothing seems to work.It's so depressing when summer comes and I'm afraid to go swimming because of my face. I also have so many acne scars that makes it worse. I really need help, I'm tired of trying so many things and not find any solutions, can anybody help?I have bad acne and bad scars, I need some help!?
    aw i have the same problem just whatever u do dont pop them or pick on them.


    Trust me on this one......


    its not fun having a bunch of red spots on ur face. but go to ur Dr. If its that serious ask them to put you on accutane but thats pretty risky





    Good luck :]I have bad acne and bad scars, I need some help!?
    Well for acne get some honey and oat meal.. Mix it all together and spread it across your face. The honey moisturizes your face while the oat meal helps wipe away the dead skin. Then wash your face like you would normally and put on some lotion. It works really well for me.
    Wash your face thoroughly morning, noon and just before bed time, with warm, almost hot water and a mild soap. Change your pillow case each day. If you don't see an improvement in 9 days. You'll need to see a dermatologist.

    I have Bad acne on my left cheeks and alot of acne scars...?

    I have like 5 acne scars and a couple of acne.


    I really want to know what can i do to get rid of this.I have Bad acne on my left cheeks and alot of acne scars...?
    Mix nutmeg powder with a little unboiled milk and apply on acne and wash after an hour this remedy when done once or twice a week will not leave any acne marks on the skin . Check out http://usefulinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.

    I have quite bad acne scars on my forehead and they are driving me mad!?

    ive tried bio oil and clean and clear, neutragena all that but nothing seems to work! will they go by themselves?


    i cant take medication for themI have quite bad acne scars on my forehead and they are driving me mad!?
    use tea tree extract for instant treatment. As a preventive measure drink lots of water everyday(at least 8 glasses) in the morning in empty stomach(at least 4 glasses) and do some dynamic exercise everyday for five to seven minutes. U can even dance in ur favourite number for five minutes. if aloe vera is available, slice the outer skin and apply it to the skin. for long term treatment yogic pranayama might be of great helpI have quite bad acne scars on my forehead and they are driving me mad!?
    Do you pick at your acne? You definitely shouldn't pick or pop them, as that can aggravate your skin and cause the scars.





    As far as treating them, just use your regular face wash, and keep your skin hydrated every day, with a lotion that contains at least 15 spf. Over time, the scars will fade.





    Sunning your skin helps reduce the appearance of scars, but don't overdo it, and definitely don't let your skin burn!
    clean and clear doesn't work. I've heard so much people saying that it's crap and doesn't work. Clinque is really good. It's a bit pricey but its very good. They ask you questions like if your skin gets oily easily and than they'll give you the right things for your face. Why don't you try it? It works for me. Get the 3-step. It's cleanser toner and mosturiser but use it every morning and evening and you'll get results. And your face will look really healthy. I use it and i get compliments.





    Hope this helped!
    vitamin E!





    Palmers(the people with all that cocoa butter stuff) have a vitamin E serum, try that!





    i used to have acne on my shoulders, and it left really bad scars, i would lather on some palmers cocoa butter(the hard block kind, not the lotion) at night, and it really helped too!
    I had quite bad acne and mine was due to face wipes-


    I used to take my make up off with face wipes and also I shower on a night now and splash my face with warm water on a morning.. This helps as if you go to bed with all the dirt it just gets into your pores.. good luck
    You should talk to a dermatologist. No cleanser is going to get rid of scarring. They can advise you on what will work for you. There are a lot of treatments out there. I wouldn't try the bio oil, it will probably make you break out.
    try some toner with gylcolic acid, it will fade your scars by removing dead skin cells. or try retin-a, it is a prescription drug, but it fights acne and gets rid of acne scars. chemical peels are expensive, but they get rid of acne scars
    The best remedy is to take a capsule of Vitamin E, break it open and use the liquid inside and massage some on the scars before you go to bed.
    loreal renoviste glycolic acid face peel worked for me...it's a 4 or 8 week course depending on how u follow it...it really works!
    They will eventually go but it takes bloody ages. Has your acne cleared up because if it hasn't you may be getting new scars which will make you feel like the scars are never going. But that's because you ge new ones.
    i've heard that bio oil is good if you keep using it, so why not use it for about four weeks, then if no change seek a doctor they will help you
    Try garnier nutritioniste cream cleanser.
    If they are scars then the only thing that will get rid of them will be a chemical face peel.
    some of them dont go and have to let them go away by themselves which may take sometime but theyl go
    After a little while they will be less noticable, don't worry!
    drink a bunch of water and apply cocoa butter at night.. a stick not the lotion..a cocoa butter stick will work.. or fade cream.. Merry Christmas!
    The best thing is Principal Secret 4 in1 cleanser.


    It's great!
    try proactive it works on everyone i know who has acne

  • How do u get girls if u got bad acne and had a bad reputation filled with disgrace and humiliation?

    Go see a doctor for the acne and move to another state.How do u get girls if u got bad acne and had a bad reputation filled with disgrace and humiliation?
    First of all girls like confidence. If you hang your head down and walk like you are asking forgiveness for breathing no girl will want that. When you act otherwise it comes off as desperate.





    They have shots for acne and there are lots of things that can be done. Fix it but don't dwell on it mentally.





    Everyone--everyone has self doubts. Girls too. Talk to them and when I say talk that means you ask questions, be attentive and let them talk about themselves. The communication will either open up or it will close off. If it opens don't be in a rush. The longer they talk the better the situation is for you. I guarantee they will be thinking about their own acne and their nose and all their imperfections.





    You'll have to amplify what you mean by bad rep. I wish you defined that better. You need to fix it. Chances are it isn't serious. It is probably something you are worried about. Girls date bad guys all the time. Some are attracted to a bad rep. As corny as it sounds try being their friend first. You'll feel better about it all and your reputation will change.





    Above all keep your cool and think. We all go through this.How do u get girls if u got bad acne and had a bad reputation filled with disgrace and humiliation?
    dont move!! thats dumb get your rep up, stand up for yourself adventure off.. dont do the things that give u a bad rep, wash ur face in morning and at night...i have bad acne as well but when it is clean all the time the acne is just minimal.....disgrace? humiliation? is that an exhageration or did you really screw up that bad. trust me, you are probably harder on yourself. grow a pair and start talking to some one. you dont have to get close but just brake the barrier. i was like you without the humiliation or disgrace but ya im shy until i was pushed out of my shell. good luck!!
    Ok , I am going to have to speak to you on a level called ';Been there, done that!';





    I was in the same boat as you once! In fact I had bottle cap glasses to go with the whole thing. Here's what I did:





    1.) I DIDN';T move!


    2.) I kept my sassy perky personality %26amp; surprising intelligence


    3.) I washed my face in the AM/PM with Noxzema.


    4.) I made an appt by the time I was 20yo with a dermatologist , he put me on Doxycycline (an antibiotic for acne)


    5.) I watched a movie called ';She's All That';


    6.) I was able to regain keeping my cool and thinking process.


    7.) It helped me to gain some , if not all my self confidence all back!





    But who knows watch the movie ';She The Man'; and do some of the things mentioned above , and it might serve you welllll!





    But remember , I always thought that by have a high IQ was even more sexier!
    Move to another area - where your reputation doesn't go before you!





    And invest in some acne medication.


    Good luck
    move and start over
    Watch the movie Shes The Man, LOL, it'll teach you wonders.
    Make fun out of it like it doesn't bother you. yeah and don't let it bother you. use your sexy personality and suprising intelligence. Peronality and intelligence are things you can always make better.
    well these are two different conditions ur askin in one question....well definately not my say:)
    ooo dont know that one
    the acne will go away get a filter for your shower and drink filtered water and remember most people get acne and like penus size it all depends on genetics and nothing more. Make sure your personality is up to par.

    Iam fourteen years old and im taking Doxycycline to help get rid of my acne. is this medicine bad for me?

    i take one 50mg cap a day.


    will i get side effects? am i to young to be taking them?


    i only started on them yesterday and im already finding that its hard for me to swallow after i take one.Iam fourteen years old and im taking Doxycycline to help get rid of my acne. is this medicine bad for me?
    The dosage that you are on is not a large one and you are not too young to be taking them. Side effects can occur with any dosage, but usually the lower dosages don't cause many problems. Are you having problems swallowing the pill?





    Take this medication by mouth as directed. Doxycycline is best taken on an empty stomach with a full glass of water (8 ounces or 240 milliliters), 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals. Some manufacturers state it can be taken with food or milk if you develop an upset stomach, however doxycycline might be less effective if taken with food or milk (or other products high in calcium). Do not lie down for 30 minutes after taking this medication.Iam fourteen years old and im taking Doxycycline to help get rid of my acne. is this medicine bad for me?
    this might not work for everyone but.. after suffering real bad acne for 5 years, i researched into the underlying causes, and ame up with the conclusion that the hormones in cow's milk (that are meant for the calf) sometimes interfere with the hormones of humans, (really, it is not natural to drink from a cow!) so i cut out dairy, and guess what, i havent had a spot since. just try this for 2 weeks before you fill your blood stream with all sorts of man-made chemicals.
    it is an anti-biotic and it is not that bad but antibiotic abuse is not good and won't be that effective to treat your acne try these http://acnedestroyer.blogspot.com/2009/0鈥?/a>

    I have to agree that you do need to see a dermatologist. I have tried everything for acne and nothing really worked from OTC. It will just waste time that you could have spent going to see a dermatologist. He/She will probably prescribe you Differin (which really doesn't work AT ALL). If you do go to a dermatologist, ask him about doxycycline. It's a pill that kills the bacteria that causes the acne. You take it twice a day. The only side effect is that it increases your skin sensitivity. I went down south to Mississippi in February where it was chilly and I got terrible sunburn, even when it was 50 degrees outside! But it does work. After a while though, it stopped working (for me). I have an appt in November to get registered for Accutane. I can't wait to go on it. I am through with this battle. The best of luck to you! I Have Bad and i mean bad acne. What i should i use to clear it up. p.s I have even used Proactive.?
    I am a firm believer that milk causes many skin problems. When you drink milk you are drinking the mother cows hormones. If topical treatments, such as proactive don't work, then the problem is internal. I know cheese tastes good, but its full of hormones which may be causing your acne. The no milk, no acne diet may be tough, but it may be worth it.
    use a facial scrub everyday. 3 times a day.


    i had neutrogena facial scrub and a clearasil facial scrub. right now im using clearasil they both work. they keep your face clean, fresh and healthy looking and not oily. wash your face really good for at least a minute


    if your face is dirty that can cause pimples too.


    proactiv works not 100% though. i only used refining mask a couple months ago and it dries out of my skin and the pimples. but the dry skin was a problem so i stopped using it. try taking mecidine for acne.


    right now, im just using the scrub and a cream called equate hydrocortisone 1% cream. it's just a cream to heal bumps not specifically acne but it works for me and i was really surprised so now i use it everyday. =] and drink a lot of water. ;] good luckk.





    try watching this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOEzSb4iU鈥?/a>
    Acne forms when sebum (skin oil) and bacteria become trapped in follicles in the skin. Blemishes appear when these oils prevent the skin from naturally shedding which may be in the form of whiteheads, blackheads, pimples or cysts. Severe cases of acne will often leave indentations or scars on the skin.





    http://www.flawlessimageandhealth.com/la鈥?/a>
    well i was going to say Proactiv.


    but it doesn't work for everyone.


    so the next step would be to see a dermatologist.


    if you have severe acne, you could have scars for the rest of your life, if it isn't taken care of right away.


    they usually will prescribe some kind of pill of shot that will reduce them rapidly.
    You really need to see a dermatologist. You may need to have prescription medicine to treat yours since you say it's bad. Antibiotics or Accutane.

    I HAD acne but not that bad. How do I better my complexion?

    I'm not asking for an acne treatment Im asking how do you fix the after effects of acne ex: scars, blackheads, complexion (meaning discoloration in your skin due to previous condition of acne.)


    Any professional advice? or personal experience? Thanks so much!I HAD acne but not that bad. How do I better my complexion?
    Use a facial scrub twice a week, steam your face (boil a pot of water and position your face a few inches away), it's cheap and easy and aids in pushing out the dirt blackheads and toxins in your skin. Wash your face regularly (twice a day).I HAD acne but not that bad. How do I better my complexion?
    Consult with a dermatologist.





    Dermabrasion may help, done by a skilled dermatologist.
    buy a Complexion Extractor with Lance it takes out whiteheads and blackheads without harming your skin. the link to one at sephora but you can buy a cheaper one at cvs.





    also the tanning bed has helped even out my complexion because i has post acne marks. my skin looks so much more even i definitely recommend it.
    For the blackheads, a few times a week you should exfoliate your skin (this also helps get dead skin off). I would also try using a very light tinted moisturizer to help even out the colour,
    Personal. Use papaya kojic and licorice base soap and cream which are available online. These work wonders.


    Maybe it will work on you too.

    I have used murad, proactive, clean n clear, neutrogena, and seen a dermatologist but still have bad acne?

    help!!!! the dermatolagist gave me a months supply of some oral medication and topical medication while on the oral medication my acne started to go away but now that its gone he wont give me more but all my acne is coming back help!!!I have used murad, proactive, clean n clear, neutrogena, and seen a dermatologist but still have bad acne?
    The dermatologist wants you to come back in for a check-up before refilling the prescription. There are some meds that are so strong that you really need to be monitored closely by your doctor. Call him/her and make an appointment to go back in. The meds were working (yeah!), so go back, get the prescription filled again. The good news is that you found something that worked.





    What was it, BTW?I have used murad, proactive, clean n clear, neutrogena, and seen a dermatologist but still have bad acne?
    Take chelated zinc every single day. Start with 50 mg a day and work up to 100 mg a day. You'll notice a difference in two weeks. You have to take the zinc with a big meal or it can make you nauseous. Buy the big bottle at Costco.





    Don't forget to take before and after pictures so you can prove the zinc-for-zits theory to your friends. Peace!
    The dermatologist should give you more medicine. If not, ask him/her why. But...I suggest you to use one brand until you finish one or two sets (wash,repair,etc) then switch brands.
    stress can cause acne to come back.try to relax and take a good sleep.
    Most acne products only treat the symptoms and not the source. They even make your skin dry, sensitive. Prolonged use can even lead to premature aging and other health issues.





    The main causes of acne is toxins build up in the body and clogged pores caused by excessive oil and deadskin cells. These provide a fertile ground for acne to spread and thrive.





    The most effective acne products fight acne from inside the body as well as outside on the skin. They should also contains natural ingredients since they're more safer to use and has less side effects.





    There are also things you can do at home to get rid of acne. Take actions to detoxify your body and take care of your skin and soon, you will permanently end your acne and have clear, radiant, beautiful skin!





    For the next couple of weeks, stick to the regimen below:


    -Drink a glass of warm water with lemon and honey in the morning and evening


    -Drink lots of water throughout the day to flush out the toxins


    -Drink at least 3 cups of green tea a day - green tea contains antibacterial properties to kill the acne bacteria


    -Try to do some cardio exercise so you can sweat out all the toxins.


    -Do meditation and deep breathing for 15 minutes a day as these exercises help to relieve stress and eliminate toxins.


    -Eat as many apples as you can. Apples contains lots of fibers that help to flush out toxins from you colon. You should buy organic apples at Wholefood. Dont buy apples at local supermarket. Supermarket apples contain pesticides that can toxify your body


    -Eat oatmeal for breakfast. Oatmeal contains lots of fibers!


    -Eat 2 cups of yogurt a day - yogurt boost ur immune system and contain microbiotic organisms that help your digestive system and control the acid/yeast


    -Eat lots of green veggies (organic if possible)


    -Stay away from coffee, sugar, carbohydrates, fatty and fried food


    -Eat salmon and cantaloupe as much as possible


    -Wash your face in morning and evening with gentle cleanser, use natural toner, and follow up with oil-free moisturizer

  • How do u get rid of really bad acne?

    accutane.


    have your doctor start you off on a really small dose at first so your acne won`t get worse.


    make sure you do that,because it will get worse before it gets better.


    but with me my doctor started me off on such a low dose it didn`t get worse.


    been almost ten years without any major problems.

    Would anything bad happen if you put acne cleaner on a cut?

    I was just putting my Proactive on my face and before that I was shaving, and cut myslef. And when I put my acne cleaner on and it stung me.


    It concerned me a little bit.Would anything bad happen if you put acne cleaner on a cut?
    No. It's just that the alcohol in acne products burn your skin when you have a cut.Would anything bad happen if you put acne cleaner on a cut?
    It stung because of the benzoyl peroxide. Don't worry about it.

    Australias Next Top Model Caris Eves get acne from bad eating habits?

    Did caris get acne from eating junkfood?Australias Next Top Model Caris Eves get acne from bad eating habits?
    There's no telling whether or not eating junk food caused her to have bad acne. She certainly had bad acne when she started on the show, and she admitted she loves junk food. Although, she started eating so healthily, and cut out nearly all junk food apparently, but that didn't really help. There is no medically proven link between junkfood and acne, although it does seem to help with acne problems a bit if you stop eating junkfood. Maybe she inherited it, or has naturally very oily skin...

    I have really bad acne but i cant find anything that clears it. helpp?

    i have bad acne on my face on my t-zone and my forehead. i also get it on my hair line and it gross. i have chest and back acne too and that bad. i try everything. but i cant find anything that works. do you know anything that works? thankss xxI have really bad acne but i cant find anything that clears it. helpp?
    When regular store bought cleansers don't work for you I would recommend a trip to your dermatologist. They specialize in skin care and have seen it all which is great because that means they have the experience to help you find a solution.


    If your unable to go to the dermatologist I would try drinking more water, when i don't drink enough water I break out. Also have you tried ClearPores?


    Heres the website: http://www.clearpores.com/?a=105949








    but like I said I would go to the dermatologist.I have really bad acne but i cant find anything that clears it. helpp?
    Get Products in the clean and clear isle. Get a face wash for acne, and the acne spot treatment in the little silver tube.


    Go to the Neutrogena products and get the Acne Stress Control 3-in-1 Hydrating treatment. ---BEST PRODUCT EVER. Get a nice lotion for your face--i suggest Olay, for sensitive skin( in a blue box.)





    Wash face twice daily, applying the Acne Stress Treatment after every time. Then Apply Lotion. I usually applied the Acne Stress Hydrating Treatment throughout the day also. I love that product!
    Hey girl , I used to try powders ,creams and lotions what were useless , My sister got me a bottle from this site wwww.Stopmyacne.info


    and it worked , best thing about it was real cheap and worked pretty quick.





    Well good luck in whatever you choose , but that definitely worked for me
    I had stubborn acne too.


    You can ask your dermatologist if you can use Accutane, but that's a last resort kind of thing.


    Worked for me. (:


    Here's a link to learn more about it: http://www.aocd.org/skin/dermatologic_di鈥?/a>
    Have you been to see your doctor. He/she may be able to prescribe something, or at least offer some sound advice.

    Hope this helped ! x
    AcneFree worked great for me... it's like a knock off version of ProActive... and you can get it like at Walmart and stuff =]
    surprisingly, birth control worked for me.
    I switch between proactiv and clean and clear and it seems to work really well cause it doesnt dry out my skin

    i've gone to the dermaltologist and ill be using accutane but the waiting period is 2 months and i want to clear my face beofre my boyfriends prom in may. any help, its so upsetting.I have really bad acne on my face, one side stays clear and the other side is horrible. i tried everything!?
    I can relate to your bad acne problem. It never fails when I have a date or planning to attend a business meeting, my acne always breaks out the day before. It is more annoying than anything! I try putting a dab of toothpaste on pimples that are about to pop and the ingredients in the toothpaste helps to dry it up, though putting too much on it can burn.





    I found some useful information on AcneNet that you may want to check out: http://www.skincarephysicians.com/acnene鈥?/a> There鈥檚 lots of information on treatments for acne. Another thing I have read about to help clear up acne is green tea. You can read about green tea benefits here: http://www.womans-health.net/greentea/ar鈥?/a> Drinking green tea actually has been found to have a lot of health benefits, including combating acne and other various skin conditions.





    Hopefully you can get your face cleared up before your boyfriend鈥檚 prom!





    Good luck!I have really bad acne on my face, one side stays clear and the other side is horrible. i tried everything!?
    Eat less greasy food.
    I know where you are coming from, I had the same problem. Nothing worked for me. What helped was to drink lots of water, and eat more fruits and veggies, and lay off the chocolate and fried foods. That helped a little bit, but I was able to get rid of the rest when I went on the pill.

    I dont have bad acne but i keep getting one or two big red zits above my eyebrow how to get rid of it ?

    What is it from i wash my face daily how can i get rid of them and keep them goneI dont have bad acne but i keep getting one or two big red zits above my eyebrow how to get rid of it ?
    for one thing its not as bad as in the middle of your forehead but when that happened to me i used Noxzema it cost like $5 but it worked like REALLY good also get a towel then soak a tip or a part of the towel with STEAMING hot water from the sink (it won't hurt) and put it on the zit hope it helpsI dont have bad acne but i keep getting one or two big red zits above my eyebrow how to get rid of it ?
    it's probably an area that you touch or rub a lot. washing your face won't help this because throughout the day your hands get dirty and you continue to touch the area. just keep washing your face and try not to touch your face with dirty or oily hands, that should help.
    My advice is to just keep washing your face.


    To me the best acne treatment i used was Neutragena Advanced Soultions. Best of luck :)
    Human skin consists of many tiny pores. These pores are connected to oil glands. Once these oil glands are blocked by the sedum or dirt substance, pimples will break out. Doctors always use benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to kill bacteria in skin pores, and other pills are used to restrict hormone and oil secretion. Those all have some harmful effects on your body. In order to get ride of pimples, you must keep your face clean all times. You can try Chlorella Gel Cleanser. It is made of edible algae and contains vitamins, Carotene, chlorophyll, amine acids, proteins, SOD enzyme, alga polysaccharides . Chlorella Gel Cleanser can clean corneous cells, sebum, sweat, dust, and get ride of pimples quickly.
    OMG! You have to try Differin! With my insurance its only $15 like every 3 months! It's amazing!

  • Ok im 13 i have really bad acne i cant get it to go away please help!?

    school is about to start in about 3 weeks i want it to be gone i have tried evrything..... every kind of acne wash i can find bt it doesnt work so help me please!Ok im 13 i have really bad acne i cant get it to go away please help!?
    for acne, you should use:





    morning:


    clean %26amp; clear morning burst [cleanser]


    clean%26amp;clear cooling daily pore toner [toner]


    a moisturizer with spf 15 or higher. i use olay complete





    evening:


    clean%26amp;clear oxygenating fizzing cleanser


    [use every other day. switch with noxzema citrus scrub]


    same toner as morning


    moisturizer [doesnt have to have spf 15 cuhz you wont be in sun]





    once a week use: queen helene's mint julep masque, also can be used for spot treatment





    for spot treatment use: persa gel-10 or oxy lotion





    to even out skin tone and for acne scars, use tea tree oil. also can be used for spot treatment. reduces redness and size





    aloe vera juice and preparation h reduce redness


    ice reduce redness and size





    baking soda is good exfoliant for blackheads





    always have spf 15 or higher on ur acne before going into sun. sun darkens the pigment in the acne and can cause scarring, or make the scars darker





    if ur going out, use green concealer over it cuhz it cancels out the red.





    this should make ur acne disappear quicker than not doing anything hahaOk im 13 i have really bad acne i cant get it to go away please help!?
    hi- i've soooo been there! if you or your parents have health insurance, any dr can prescribe antibiotic pills and washes/creams that can definitely help! a lot of the time, the acne is coming from under your skin, so facewash might not be the most effective, but medication will be. if you can't afford that, try googling free clinics in your area. DONT wash your face a gazillion times a day or your skin will start to overproduce oil, making it worse!


    my other suggestion is to make sure you keep your phone clean (since it's always rubbing up against your face), and be careful not to touch your face if you're always touching your hair (since it has oil in it too). it's one of my bad habits, so i'm very conscious of it. good luck!!
    Go to a dermatologist and let him prescribe some good acne medication. You still have 3 weeks so it could make a huge difference if you go soon.


    Did you try Proactive?


    Wash your face frequently and drink tons of water and don't sleep in your make-up (ever).Until school don't wear make-up right now!!! Don't pop the pimples either, it'll cause scarring.


    Good luck to you --been where you are!
    you got to stick with one acne wash..you cant just go trying one acne wash for 2 days and if you dont see results throw it way.. i used to wash my face with neutrogena and i hardly had ance and the next days i found my self infected with ance under my chin i was really mad i thought it was going to prevent me from getting acne then i realized it was just probably pimples hiding under my skin. but if you really dont want to try acne wash, then grab a towel and pour hot water on it from the sink and just wash your face with it 5 times a day a read this is a book of common diseases its going to work if you are commiting to wash your face 5 times a day usually soaps or acne wash just irratates your skin and causes it to be worse untill your skin is sued to it. good luck
    i no what u mean i have that same problem but theres some things my mom told me that worked





    first you need to waas ur face atleast 2x a day





    this may sound weired but put honey and egg (not the yolk) on ur face for about 10 minutes


    trust me it works





    then buy the neutogena oil free mostirizer spf 15 or something lk tht


    it makes ur pimples less noticabel





    and try neutrogena oil free acne wash at night and right after tht or in the moring put mostirizr in ur face.





    and this one also sounds weired to but on a cotton ball put milk on it and just put it all over your face. for bout 10 minutes also





    anotherthing to do is put tootpaste on it for 15 minutes


    put the minty kind so it absorbs better





    and try not to use anymore face washes


    cuz those have alot of chemicals in it





    and if u have oily skin lk me use mositizer it helps alot





    and alot of ppl will say use proactive it works


    honestly it only works on certain ppls skins not on alot of em. to some it may even give more acne





    hope this helped if not email me for more help


    or tell me if it didnt work
    There are many things people are going to tell you about acne and your skin, and many of those will be incorrect.





    Alcohol and hot water are bad for acne. They can irritate your skin and aggravate the condition. Washing your face a million times a day can do the same.





    You want to treat it gently, with high quality products (not Clearasil) and you have to be dedicated to it. Get a facial, and your esthetician will be able to suggest the right regimen for you; the products will be more expensive than you're used to but they'll work. If for some reason they don't, a good salon will be happy to exchange them for you, but you should give any regimen at least 6 weeks to work.





    See a dermatologist after you've tried everything else. At your age, your acne is likely caused by hormones, and will be difficult to get rid of completely. Medications from dermatologists have side effects on your body and skin that are better avoided if you can.





    Wash your face two times a day (or after you've worked out or sweated a lot, or if you feel very oily) with an antibacterial cleanser such as Dermalogica's Anti-Bac Skin Wash. Use an alcohol free toner, or witch hazel, after cleansing. Wear an oil free moisturizer during the day, and use a 2.0% salicylic acid gel on problem areas overnight. Spot treat blemishes with a sulfur or benzoyl peroxide treatment. If you do all of that (even if you must use drugstore products), you should notice some improvement.





    Good luck!
    I'm 13 too!!and i have bad acne and I'm freaking out like you are except i have 4 days until school starts %26amp; i wanted my acne 2 be gone before i went back 2 school.so i tried Clean %26amp; Clear oil free cream cleanser it cleans deep down to the pores cool %26amp; refreshing tingle..it helps really good it dosen't get rid of acne to wear your face is super clear but it does clear up some of it...i learned if you use that and put some moisteriser on after you wash it, it helps your face %26amp; could possibly clear it up.
    Your best best is to get a facial at a spa. They have all types of facials for skin whether its exfoliating, anti-anging, or acne. Look up local spas, most spas have websites and they have the types of facials they provide as well as the price. Mos range from 25-65 dollars, but it depends on the spa you go to. I am 16 and have had face problems, I have gone to the dermatologist, and bought every product you can think of and nothing has worked to where my face stays prefectly clear the way it did when I was 10 But i did go have a facial and it made my face a lot better, my skin isn't horribly bad but, I get a few little ';presents'; on my face when i wake up sometimes and my skin isn't as smooth as it used to be because of ';womanhood'; but, facials help out a lot and also be sure to moisturize, i use aveeno daily moisturizing lotion-they sell it at walmart, target, and most drugstores/grocery stores, my skin is very senstive so this helps keep it from getting dry without irritating it or making me break out, it is also dermatologist recommended.








    DON'T DO WHAT THAT PERSON SAYS---don't wash your face 5 times a day. Only twice a day should you wash your face. Washing it too much will dry it out.
    that sucks.................. for you!!!!
    I had the same problem


    but it won't go away in 3 weeks no matter what you use. It can improve but not be gone, sorry.


    You can go see a dermatologist they will give you some products thatmight work but no matter what you use your face it will get worse before it gets better





    If you can't go see a one keep using products stick with one don't change them that could be your problem, also if you wear make-up only use oil free kind and wash it off before you go to bed i would suggest cover girls it's in a blue case it help acne and it won't break you out, and stay away from soda or anything with a large amount of sugar it breaks you out easy.





    Hope this helps!

    My acne is so bad I was curious what can I use that works?

    Proactive helped but I broke out with a bad rash any other ideas?My acne is so bad I was curious what can I use that works?
    go to a dermatologist. i had severe acne for years, trying tons of different creams and washes (including proactiv) and nothing worked. until i went to a dermatologist. they can evaluate your acne personally. everyone's acne is different and only a dermatologist can prescribe you what you really need, that'll work. good luck!My acne is so bad I was curious what can I use that works?
    Im a 27 year old male and had regular acne throughout high school and up to a few years ago, it went away. I went to a doctor and was given pills and lotions, which pretty much didnt really work. The past year, the worst Ive had were a few breakouts when I shaved. Eventually, I ran out of my prescriptions and just forgot to get refills....well, I actually started getting better. I simply used Neutrogena acne wash(its the gold colored soap in the clear bottle). For males: I shave with a razor every 3-4 days and just wash my face off with water, no soap before i go to bed, or before I take a shower, no soap either. The shaving cream I use is Neutrogena(its in a medium size black tube). The only presciption I use is, i think, Desowen lotion(for flakey, red skin/rash). Right now, im 90% clear, just a little on my neck, and that from shaving.


    basically, just using the face wash and water has been much better than medications. i would recommend that to anyone for a few weeks to try out.



    If you have an oily skin 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. If you have a dry skin honey is a great remedy for acne and pimples because the honey kills bacteria. If you have a combination skin when you wash your face, use sugar to scrub it, at least once a day, for two weeks to rid yourself of acne. More such solutions at http://solutionsforpimples.blogspot.com/






    I tried heaps of things too including proactive. But i went to see dermatologist, and he prescribed these 2 creams and little tablet to take. and now i rarely get pimples. Jus go see a dermatologist. Proactive is bs btw

    How do you get rid of acne?? I have really bad breakouts on my fore head and on my chin! ?

    I wash my face every night. But it doesn't seem to be helping at all! Any suggestions....How do you get rid of acne?? I have really bad breakouts on my fore head and on my chin! ?
    STOP popping the spots, also known as pimples and zits. This may make the pimple look worse due to inflammation and irritation. Popping a zit can spread infection under the skin and produce even more pimples than before. If you do pop a spot then immediately clean it with soap and water or rubbing alcohol in order to prevent infection. If a pimple erupts in a particularly bothersome place, learn how to target a single pimple. And if you're determined to pop, learn how to pop a pimple safely and properly.


    Remove any make-up you have on. Wearing make-up can clog pores, making them dirty and causing pimples.


    Use a mild soap for sensitive skin but it doesn't matter exactly what type of soap you use. It can be designed for acne-prone skin or not, but you will want to treat your skin gently. Harsh antibacterial soap may actually make your acne worse by irritating skin.


    Remove dead skin cells regularly by exfoliating. Use a gentle scrub with natural defoliants like ground walnut shells, or use an over-the-counter chemical defoliant like salicylic acid or glycolic acid. Adding ground walnut shell to a thick moisturizer like cocoa butter can be effective too. Take caution, because over-ex foliating can actually increase the likelihood of acne by irritating the skin. Pat dry, rather than rubbing, since rubbing can cause irritation to the fresh skin you've just revealed.


    Use a good toner. Spray onto face or wipe on with a cotton ball and wipe off with a clean, dry cotton ball. This gets rid of excess cleanser and tightens pores. Good, inexpensive choices include plain witch hazel for normal to dry skin, lemon juice, or 3% hydrogen peroxide for oily skin. 70% ethyl rubbing alcohol can also be used for severe oiliness, but it can really dry out your skin and irritate it more. Some toners are medicated, and this stage is the best for using a medicated product if you're only going to use one medication.


    Bacteria in pores is one cause of spots. Reduce the amount of bacteria by using toners containing anti-bacterial agents like alcohol, peroxide and benzalkonium chloride, and by using creams that contain benzoyl peroxide, which kill bacteria as well as cause the skin to regenerate faster.


    Maintain a routine. Most acne treatments take time to work. It usually takes between two and eight weeks before you see any significant improvement, so you are going to have to be patient. Once you've gotten your acne cleared up, it's important to continue with the treatment that's working so it does not return.


    Understand that if all else fails, contact a doctor. Mild antibiotics that are available only by prescription can help reduce acne. Keep in mind though, that the widespread overuse (taking antibiotics when you really don't need them or for something they don't treat) and misuse (not taking medication for the specified amount of time) of antibiotics has led to the development of multiple antibiotic resistant bacteria. That means that the antibiotics won't work for the things they used to (including your acne).


    Keep hair off of your face if at all possible. If you want to keep your bangs, then consider taking showers regularly or keeping your forehead clean with oil-dabbing cloths / clean tissues / etc.


    Get some good sleep. Stress increases your skin's oiliness, which, combined with sweat and dirt, can clog pores and cause pimples. (Change your pillowcase frequently.)


    Acne medications may cause your skin to initially break out worse than before because all FDA-approved acne medications (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and sulfur) are causing your skin to regenerate faster. This brings existing acne pimples already under your skin (but not visible yet) to the surface, which in turn causes a massive but fortunately temporary break out. Give the medications about one to two weeks and you will notice a big difference in the quality of your skin.


    See a dermatologist if over the counter remedies do not work. They specialize in skin care and can prescribe you medicines that help you improve it.


    Drink plenty of water. Staying well hydrated can help your condition improve, because the ';waste management'; control system in your body requires a lot of water to do its job. Without enough water, the body has difficulty removing some waste products efficiently.


    Look for face washes which contain the active ingredient benzoyl peroxide. This is the key ingredient in some of the best face washes. use a 5-10% benzoyl peroxide of mild to moderate acne and 10% for severe.


    Try smashing one tablet of aspirin in a small bowl, then adding lemon juice to the mixture. Aspirin is acetesalicylic acid, chemically related to salicylic acid. Apply to the affected areas overnight. It boosts the healing process while reducing redness.

    I have bad acne how do i get rid of it fast. [[dont say proactive it doesnt work on my skin!]]?

    Many times acne is caused my internal toxins in the body. Medications try to ease the symptoms, but do not solve the problem. The natural acne cure works to cure acne for good.I have bad acne how do i get rid of it fast. [[dont say proactive it doesnt work on my skin!]]?
    try getting a prescription for tetracycline It costs about $0.25 per pill and you can take them once a day. Also Retin-A-Micro cream works well if your skin is oilyI have bad acne how do i get rid of it fast. [[dont say proactive it doesnt work on my skin!]]?
    This mask should help, mix 1 tablespoon of dried or fresh yeast with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice; apply on face, wait until it gets hard (try not to move), peel or wash with warm water. Check out http://useinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.
    I use neutrogena soap for acne prone skin--- Walmart under 3 bucks!! Works great- and great price!!
    Take some tree tea oil ( you can buy it over the counter) and use a q-tip or cotten ball and put some of the oil on the acne parts, use it 2-3 times a day for a few days and you should see the acne fade away and clear up! tree tea oil really kinda stinks but it helps dry out the acne and pimples and blimishes i use it when ever i am getting one and it works awesome! 鈾?tara
    Everyone's skin is different - so what might work for someone might not work for you. If you are really serious about trying to fix acne you should have your skin assessed. There's different kinds of acne and skin types. There's also outside variables like environment. So before you go out and spend tons of money on products recommended to you, I would suggest a dermatologist or a trained specialist who's not going to be trying to sell you something!

    I have Bad Acne how do i get ride of it?

    I have really bad Acne!!! please help if you know the best way to get ride of it.. i am 23 years old and have really oily skin and need help with the acne what can i use..I have Bad Acne how do i get ride of it?
    Hmm... 23 is quite old to still be getting serious acne. I recommend you speak to your doctor - home treatment will not help. Your doctor will likely prescribe a course of antibiotics (vibramycin, minocin, erythromycin etc...). He may also prescribe a topical lotion that will dry the skin. In extreme cases he may prescribe ';roaccutane'; - this is very effective at clearing up extreme acne but it has can cause significant side effects.





    Also, avoid the face washes targetted at teenagers. My experience of them is that they make the problem far worse (and even create a problem where there was none previously!)





    Best of luck.I have Bad Acne how do i get ride of it?
    Try using exposed skin care its a product from the proactive line. I love it it works really well! Its a little expensive but it's definitely worth it. Its not a spot treatment its for your whole face so your not just doing the same thing over and over again with no results. Just go to Exposedskincare.com to check it out :) Good luck

    topical applications are not enough. go to a dermtalogists for some anti-biotics. if those dont work the doc might give u accutane or contracptive pills.


    this works for me- every night i wash my face and liberally dust a prickly heat powder on my face. it kills bacteria and absorbs excess oil.





    u could be milk intolerant. try avoiding it and c. sugar is another culprit.


    also never allow yourself to constipate. take castor oil if you cant go. because even one day of not 'going ' causes eruptions.








    but do go to a dermatologists. newer and better medicatons keep coming into the market that work on the most persistant acne!I Have bad acne and i need help getting rid if it :( help!?

  • Does eating bad have an impact on your acne?

    I heard on House that 30% of waste is excreted from your skin.





    So does eating bad with greasy food give you acne?Does eating bad have an impact on your acne?
    Myth: Diet and acne are related





    Reality: The bottom line is we need more research. We do know that people in some indigenous societies do not experience acne whatsoever across the entire population. This is in stark contrast to the widespread presence of acne throughout all modern society. It leaves us to ponder the question of whether the indigenous people's diet contributes to their acne-free skin.Does eating bad have an impact on your acne?
    nope...acne is abt hormones only.....nothing to do with foods








    Sweating:


    Areas of the skin that sweat more profusely than average is more likely to develop acne. Hot and humid weather can make acne worse, especially in the tropic. Acne is more common and very severe in most cases for people living in the tropics.


    Although inefficient face washing does not cause acne, soap and water will reduce the number of bacteria getting into the whiteheads and turning them black. Some evidence suggests that the lightly abrasive buffing pads may help.





    Medications: There are a few, very few, medications that make acne worse. If your acne gets worse when you start a new medications consult your doctor for a substitute medication if at all possible. It can take months to recover from a full blown acne flair up.


    Benzyl peroxide is an ingredient in most acne medicines that has been proven to help with mild to moderate cases of acne. The cheap ones are just as good as the expensive ones as long as they have benzyl peroxide in them.





    The pustule that gets bigger and bigger with no head in sight may require a prescription strength antibiotic lotion like clindamycin or erythromycin. If cysts and scars begin to form then you may need to take antibiotics by mouth. They must be taken everyday and exactly as prescribed.
    In theory, eating greasy food makes your acne worse. Like the first user said, I don't think that's really been proven.








    If nothing else, I can imagine that other aspects of a greasy diet might contribute. For example, when you walk into McDonald's or something, there are grease particles in the air. They get on your skin.





    When you eat fries or chicken nuggets, your fingers get greasy, even if you use a napkin. Then you touch your face.

    i dunno how well that works but i'm thinking to make it you just crush advil and then mix with a small amount of water until its like a paste, then i guess you would just put it on the acne.... i'm not sure if it will work though... you could also try using Clearasil (sp?) it works pretty good, works good on poison ivy too.
    Never heard of that, but try proactiv solution
    If you dont want to use proactive then get some clean and clear face scrub and astringent 2 times a day.
    I use:





    Aloe vera gel mixed with 2 drops of tea tree essential oil works really well and has been shown in studys to improve acne. Doing scrubs is not good for acne at all because it irritates acne so I use warm oatmeal with a little bit of honey to exfoliate which is more gently. A french ';green'; clay mask works very well also. It removes impurities from deep within and your acne may get worse before it gets better using the french clay. You should try an organic cleanser. (You can get them at a health food store.) I use a herbal astringent recipe from ';The herbal body book'; by Stephanie Tourles which you can get cheap on half.com. Works really good and is so soothing. Use a oil free moisturizer at might on your face, neck and chest. Try taking vitamins A, E, D, C, Bcomplex (or B5) vitamin %26amp; Zinc. Also eat healthy lean meats, fresh fruits and vegtables. Boxed foods and fast food will make it so much worse! Hope this helps!!
    Get some regular store bought yougart and use it as a facial mask like every night. Let it sit for like 5 min. It works soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo well/good!!!

    Here are some REALLY good, and very inexpensive ways to treat most acne at home. Try each method (unless you鈥檙e allergic to the ingredients) until you find one that works best for you. Good luck =) BTW, I know some of these may sound bizarre but try them鈥hat have you got to lose other than the acne!!





    1. Put toothpaste on your acne before going to bed. (Make sure it is paste not gel). It should reduce the swelling of acne noticeably.





    2. Dab egg whites on your acne and leave on for 20 minutes or overnight. It鈥檚 supposed to pull the infection out of the blemish.





    3. Wash acne infected areas twice a day with warm salt water. This reduces oils in the skin and helps to dry the acne up without further agitation.





    4. Use ice on acne before going to bed. This works best on pimples that have not yet formed a head. It reduces swelling and helps to prevent scarring.





    5. Wash and dab acne with cotton balls that have been soaked in vinegar. Let dry; do not wash off immediately.





    6. Place strawberries leaves over your acne and the alkalinity will help to reduce the swelling.I have bad acne on my back, any good suggestions?

    I've used everything from moisturisers to proactiv to even duct tape. HELP!!!!!I have something like 100! zits on my butt! is it arash or bad acne?
    It is probably a heat rash, or acne. Use facewash or acne bodywash. If it doesn't start going away I would contact your doctor or go to a dermatologist. How old are you? It could be your age going through puberty too. If it itches try some anti-itch cream like cortizone. Good Luck I hope it goes away! The proactive thing could work too, but i wouldn't splurge on that yet until you try some other thingsI have something like 100! zits on my butt! is it arash or bad acne?
    first off do you shave your butt?! it could be from that then rubbing against your clothing really irritates it





    or it could be a heat rash i get them all the time between my thighs its disgusting...but cortad really really helps TRUST ME got buy so cortaid cream rub it on before bed when u wake up it should be gone
    Umm, if it's that bad go to a DOCTOR!





    Try using another laundry detergent, benedryl spray, or anti-itch lotion like hydrocortisone
    duct tape? that will make it worse.. try washing your butt or putting proactiv on it...

    Why do i have such bad acne?

    ive tried going to a dermatologist and nothing worked.


    I tried several different things.


    i have large pores on my nose and cheeks and often break out.


    i sometimes break out on my upper arm chest and more commonly on my back


    i use soap everyday to wash myself but nothing seems to work.





    i dont drink much water but i drink alot of green tea and cranberry juice


    and i used to take teen advantage vitamins but they are too big





    any suggestions because i feel very self conscious in public....


    :(Why do i have such bad acne?
    i'd go to a different dermatologist and get acctutan


    it basicly the strongest acne treatment there is but believe me it works i had bad acne to and it was starting to leave scars on my back


    but i've been on it for a month and my skins already almost clear





    also your only suppose to have to be on it for 6 months and then its clear skin for the rest of your lifeWhy do i have such bad acne?
    your acne is so bad because of your over active hormones. my face was a mess for close to 15 yrs. i cried my eyes out. i was miserable. to make a long story short they found out i am bipolar, both parents. when the dr. started me on the right drugs my face started to clear up. i wonder if you were to go and have a blood test, if you couldn't straighten out your hormones by taking suppliments. a dr. would have to tell you what you would need to take and how much. you would get more energy, have a better mood, and a clearer skin. i would bet you it would work. there are special dr. that if you go to, can tell you if you are low on what vitimans or minerals. wash your face with clean and clear and then use witch hazel.
    It can be genetic, not necessarily your daily habits.





    Soaping yourself can make things worse, especially if it's harsh soap!





    try this site: acne.org try googling for other acne sites as well, because they have detailed answers to your questions as well as many solutions





    good luck
    Well, there can be a lot of reasons that your acne is so bad. Like you, I have tried many things in my pursuit to cure my acne, including things such as Proactive and Accutane (which I saw someone prefer, and I DO NOT recommend). It's also is not wise to look for one reason, since over the years you could have all kinds of allergens, out of control blood sugar levels, and all sorts of things, so trying to pinpoint one cause is not smart.





    Truth is you don't need any supplements or any topical to get clear. There's no miracle cure to clearing your acne, and medications such as Accutane can have harsh side effects (I personally experienced the worst headaches I've ever had the month I was on it, it also came back much worst after I decided to go off the regiment).





    I'm clear now, thanks to a great book called Clear For Life, which you can read more about here: http://findaremedy.com/clear-for-life-acne-ebook. To answer your question specifically, though, you must increase your intake of whole foods, such as organic, fruits, raw, ripe, etc.





    I can see that you don't drink much water which is also a big no-no; you must increase your water intake to around 10% of your total weight, or at the very least, 8 cups a day. Eating enough raw foods such as fruits and vegetables will help you out big time. You also need a bit of exercise and even sunlight.





    Anyway, after 7 years of having pretty bad acne I can say I'm clear using the methods thought in this book. I feel like the guy on that Clearasil commercial after going back to the ice cream shop, lol. Well, good luck on your pursuit to cure your acne. I can say after having spent maybe 1k+ on topicals, medications, and supplements, I wish I would have found this book earlier. It took about a good 3 months for it to fully clear with the occasional breakout every now and then for the first 4-5 months, but it worked. An added benefit was I lost weight have more energy and I'm much stronger -- I think of it as a bonus.

    I have bad acne whats the best treatment?

    i am realy shamed about my face i have spots everywhere ive tried everything but nothing seems to work for me. i cover my spots in makeup to try and hide them but i no makeup isnt very good for my spots and more keep coming please give me the best cure for spots :(


    best anser 10 points


    thanks


    xI have bad acne whats the best treatment?
    Just go to your doctor and they will give you a product like Accutane or something, but even better, go to a dermatolagist and they talk to you and look at your face (I mean they can face map it etc).I have bad acne whats the best treatment?
    Acne is a bacteria that needs to be killed. Witch Hazel is also works great.. it is a little smelly, but you can use a cotton ball or wash cloth. It will tke away the oiliness. `Tea Tree Oil will kill out the bacteria or weaken it enough not to bother you. Apply it to the effected areas with a q-tip or cotton ball after you have washed.





    You should get a good multivitamin(highly suggest) with vitamin a,c,e,d and zinc.. this should help tons! Eating carrots also helps.. there is beta-carotene (Vitamin A) in them which helps prevent acne and repair the skin. Take zinc, zinc is a antibacterial agent. Make sure to dink plenty of water and get good rest at night.





    Azelaic Acid is a great natural acid that reduces the growth of bacteria, restores the skins cells and reduces inflammation. Try using a topical with Azelaic Acid in it.. it is safe.





    Also, change/wash your pillow case and sheets every other day.





    There are ways to put moisture back into your skin and heal it, such as: drinking lots of water, making sure you are eating enough fat/omega-3 oils. Lotions with mineral oil can dry out the skin, use one with out it! Emu Oil ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_oil ) contains vitamin A and E, Sapogens ( makes skin softer), and Oleic acid (a skin cell regenerator, anti-wrinkel agent) - walgreens sells emu oil.. i would think walmart would as well.
    I've tried the normal Proactiv treatment and it didn't do a thing. What worked mostly for me was either Advantage (I believe that is what it is called) sold a CVS's for $20 or Cetaphil. Cetaphil is very gentle and worked very well for me. Advantage is a lot more harsh but did wonders.





    One thing about Proactiv that did work for me was the mask. Didn't clear the acne but took away all of the redness that covered my face. Worth it.
    well, my best friend had really bad acne, and she had alot of scars. So she went to her family doctor, and he prescribed her some medication. I forget what it was called, but she took two a day and it totally dried out her body. At first, it was really hard for her, because all (and i mean all) her body was dried out, so she had SUPER dry skin and all. But after two-three months, it wasn't as bad. She was on the pill for six months, I think. But anyways her acne is all gone now and she had super soft skin. And for the scars, she's using bio-oil. It's not the best, but her face is really starting to clear up. if you have scars, you can also go see a dermatologist and they can take care of that.


    Also, I had mild acne, and I got some prescribed cream. It's not as good as the pill (i had used a different kind of pill but i had a bad reaction to it..) but it still controls the acne.


    Hope I helped!!
    ive also suffered bad acne and there are lots of ways to cure it





    there is a pill called HR1 Clear Complexion from 拢2-拢4 u can get it from Holland %26amp;Barret or tescos and some chemists. that works really well.





    Garnier pure range, the washes work very well





    Sudocrem mainly known as nappy cream but is also a treatment for acne.





    use the creams and lotions on a rota cos ur skin gets used to certain treaments quickly so keep swapping





    if it still doesnt get better go to ur gp and they can prescribe you with special creams or even antibiotics.





    good luck





    XOXO
    Well i had somewhat bad acne and i bought Pro-activ .. its a little expensive around $50 i think but it did work for me.





    i had some results from things like oxy pads you can get them at rite aid or pretty much any store for about $6 i think...might help..it helped me just not 100%.


    proactiv is your best bet if you really want it gone...hope i helped.








    oh and i forgot you can get something i considered i think its called blue light treatment or something i forgot but you can have it done( unsure how much it costs) but doctors use a laser or something to get rid of them all..and i hink you can do it yourself if you get the stuff....don't know to much about that but maybe you can look it up and see


    Good luck.
    First, I would try Proactiv. It's a soap, toner, and cream that works for a lot of people. Clinique's acne treatment system is similar and really works for mine.





    Many people go to a dermatologist and get a prescription for accutane, which is a large dose of vitamin A. That should really get rid of it if nothing else works!
    I also had really bad acne! it is very embarrising!


    My mom took me to a dermatoligist and thay prescribed DIFFREN for me. it takes about 6 weeks for it to really start working but after the six weeks your skin looks perfect! depending on how bad your acne is they may prescribe Acutane. This is a very nasty drug that can cause birth effects if you get pregnant whi'll you are on it. you have to get blood drawn every month. and if you are a girl you have to take pregnancy test avery 2 weeks!


    I hope this helps!
    well I'm not gonna have the best answer b/c I don't know much about acne myself (I don't have acne..my face is nice and smooth) anyways people say you have zits/pimples if you eat lots of sweets and sugar and greasy food which results acne and pimples. I suggest you stay away from those kinds of food and DONT cover it up with make-up. IT WONT help. Make-up actually makes it worse....





    Instead, the only make-up I recommend for acne is foundation. My sister used it on her face and it worked like a charm. It barely showed any of her pimples. =)





    Uhmm..one last ting. IF none of this works, the only other way out is seeing a dermatologist who may help. Good luck!
    Most acne products only treat the symptoms and not the source. They even make your skin dry, sensitive. Prolonged use can even lead to premature aging and other health issues.





    The main causes of acne is toxins build up in the body and clogged pores caused by excessive oil and deadskin cells. THese provide a fertile ground for acne to spread and thrive.





    To effectively fight acne and prevent acne from coming back, you have to attack acne from inside the body as well as outside on the skin. So, look for an acne product that fights acne internally as well as externally. They should also contains natural ingredients since they're more safer to use and has less side effects.





    There are also things you can do at home to get rid of acne. Take actions to detoxify your body and take care of your skin and soon, you will permanently end your acne and have clear, radiant, beautiful skin!





    For the next couple of weeks, stick to the regimen below:


    -Drink a glass of warm water with lemon and honey in the morning and evening


    -Drink lots of water throughout the day to flush out the toxins


    -Drink at least 3 cups of green tea a day - green tea contains antibacterial properties to kill the bacteria


    -Try to do some exercise so you can sweat out all the toxins. Also, try to do meditation


    -Eat as many apples as you can. You should buy organic apples at Wholefood. Dont buy apples at local supermarket. Supermarket apples contain pesticides that can toxify your body


    -Eat oatmeal for breakfast


    -Eat 2 cups of yogurt a day - yogurt boost ur immune system and contain microbiotic organisms that help your digestive system and control the acid/yeast


    -Eat lots of green veggies (organic if possible)


    -Stay away from coffee, sugar, carbohydrates, fatty and fried food


    -Eat salmon and cantaloupe as much as possible


    -Wash your face in morning and evening with gentle cleanser, use natural toner, and follow up with oil-free moisturizer

    if your acne is really bad the best thing to do is see a doctor/dermatologist who can give you appropriate treatment. depending on severity you will get skin cream, anti-bacterial wash and/or a long course of antibiotics. the medications for severe acne can take a few weeks to work but are very effective.
    hey..i've had acne since 8th grade. now i'm a freshmen in college and they're just going away. you've just got to get used to them and be patient for them to go away. go see a dermatologist and they'll recommend you some medication for your face. i use differin and clindamycin. my acne got pretty severe over the summer. i have never covered up my acne, i'm sure it's better not to cover it or you'll just make it worse. but that's just my opinion. seeing a derm is the best thing you can do. i wish i would have sooner. good luck :]
    Hey!!!





    Don't use any creams are chemical products .I will tell you a natural remedy .Lime juice is a best treatment ,but don't apply pure lime on your face . Take gram flour powder and mix lemon juice ,little turmeric and honey ,mix well and apply it on your face ,you can wash it off after 30 min or one hours . and you can use cucumber juice too .
    It depends what kind of acne you have. If it is along the T-zone like mine, doctors prescribe Retin-A Micro, which works well. I'm not sure about Pro-Activ, but my cousin uses it and it reduced the redness and size of her pimples.


    I suggest get a doctors prescription, because the acne medicine they prescribe gets rid of acne very well.
    I am having probs in that area too, I never had acne as a teen, and when i turned 25 BAM... I think its hormones. I just recently went on Ortho-Tri-Cyclen birth control pills. These are supposed to be best for acne.





    I also just found out that dairy can trigger acne because of the hormones in it. And gluten, some ppl have unknown alergies to that causes acne also.





    Green tea's antioxidants have been shown to be highly beneficial to acne prevention.

    i have acne and i used proactive and my acne was almost gone in about a month once i was out of pro active i use nitrogena wave every day and when i get a pimple i put tooth paste on the pimple right before i go to bed i know it sounds crazy but the tooth paste dries out the pimple and it pops in a bout a day and i wash off the tooth paste when i wake up in the morning
    oohh... i probably have the same thing as u and maybe you can try something thats called..... AmLactin..... it would be a white bottle and has a yellow cap.... it works great for me....


    answer mine..

    Also drink lots of water and wash your face up to 3-5 times a day

    you may find this weird but me and my friend tried toothpaste.


    it helps reduce it.


    it really works.





    we just used normal colgate ;]


    it was fun we just did it at a sleepover, it kinda tingles.





    goodluck, hop it helps x
    I used to break-out and nothing would work. The only thing that ultimately worked was to go to a dermatologist. They gave me a perscription topical cream that worked wonders.
    Definitly NOT pro-active. Does not work.


    Clean %26amp; Clear is good...


    Any one answer mine!? I NEED help!

    try this webpage for some home remedies.
    Acne can have many different causes. See a dermatologist who can determine which kind of acne you have and how to treat it.









    well have you tried exfoliating or going to see your gp they would give you antibiotics and then it should clear don't drink to much milk because that makes them worse
    Your dermatologist should prescribe antibiotics.
    protactive
    ok right now im using neutrogena pink grapefruit relly works great
    do not put too much chemical products in your face and dont pick them. i garentee u your akne will be gone.
    Do you really want the best answer? you may not like this answer... but i deserve BEST ANSWER!!!





    The best treatment is a pill capsule called Roaccutane, it drys your skin %26amp; forces it to go away...





    However, it has a 2% side affects rate, it can cause permanant hair loss in some people, not me though, i have middle eastern skin %26amp; i'm furry guy like robin williams.. so i was willing to take the risk..





    i was sent by my local doctor to see a skin specialist in Burwood, Sydney, he explained the side affects, %26amp; told me that its quite safe, although this pill makes you very hungry, you need to watch your cholesterol levels every month, so the doctor needs to take blood tests once a month for the next 6 months.. i was fine with that, acne is awful so its worth it.





    Roaccutane makes you tired during the day sometimes, so like other medications, i think there was a sticker saying not to operate machinery, %26amp; to not take this with lime or lemon juice fluids, also your body may flake off some skin from dryness, i think you can use creams for that, %26amp; for dry lips.. Vasseline etc..





    Anyway, i ate my mothers home made cooked meals without even thinking about my cholesterol, %26amp; after my next blood test, the doctor said my levels were down %26amp; by alot.. :)





    The doctor first needs to ask you questions before perscribing Roaccutane, you may also receive pamphlets %26amp; a VHS video about other patients comments %26amp; how great the product is, (but they never show the 2% that suffered the side affects, if any.)





    a 6 month treatment of the Roaccutane pill, lasted me 5 years of no acne, Life is good...





    After the 5 years, you start to get normal acne, 1 or 2 spots here %26amp; there, but nothing that leaves scars...





    I wish someone told me about Roaccutane when i was in Highschool, because i have scars on my chest that look like Bypass heart operation scars... my face is perfect, my acne only broke out on my chest... i see many peoples facial scars, too late for them, they needed Roaccutane too..





    Acne is a disease, it is not caused by oily foods or chocolate as once believed.





    Anyway, mine is the best answer, your doctor agrees with me, just ask..





    If you need more info, email me.. dont be afraid, just try roaccutane if your doctor says its ok for your skin tone complexion.
