Iam a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.

In my experience of 12 years alot of commercial store bought products DO NOT WORK! They contain way too much benzoyl peroxide which over dries your skin and causes irritations. Often they contain too much of what you dont need, or too little of what you do need!

PLEASE READ THIS WITH YOUR MOM if you are under 18, I have a great solution for you!

Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I will explain why it's a broad question!

Your age plays a role! Do you always have breakouts?

However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.

Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.

However, using make-up sponges that are not changed or washed often can contaminate the pores with bacteria which may develop into acneic breakouts.

If you are a teenager ( which I assume that you are) your hormones play a definite role in your breakouts.

If you have severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are many factors.

The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.

The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples' needs.

Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?

Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:

www.aboutyourskincare.com

You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.

Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.

They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that's great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it's gone. It's truely magic in a bottle.

A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you're a young girl you will need fewer products than this):

Night time:

1. Exfoliate the skin

2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).

4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts

5. Moisturizer

Morning:

1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

2. Moisturizing cream

The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com

Good Luck to you,

Answer 2

yes in fact i have! i've used it twice now. it works great. it takes about 10-14 days for it all to peel of though so don't be fooled by the 6 days claim. but when you take it all off you will be MUCH happier with your skin. it gets rid of the scars.it will clear your acne for about a month and your skin will be very dry but after that it has come back again. I'm a girl so i use birth control now to control my acne. try yasmin if you are also

it looks like you may have to wait till xmas hols to use it now but dont worry. its still 'normal' to have acne at your age.

edit: why dont you try lemon on cottom wool before school starts. wash your face with a MILD cleanser (not one that makes your face too tight and dry). squeeze lemon juice onto cotton wool and wipe onto whole face. it may sting or burn slightly. leave on overnight. skin should improve after 2 weeks of doing this. your face will look generally cleaner in a couple of days

edit; if you want to try the products below do so, but she may just be trying to sell you stuff. be aware of this

try the lemon like i said and if your acne is not too inflamed try a sugar scrub every other day or as your skin can take it. after washing with a mild cleanser. grab some sugar and apply some water (i do it this way) or other people use honey or EXTRA virgin olive oil (the only good oil you can use on your face) and scrub your face GENTLY with it. wash off with cold water thoroughly. your skin will feel amazing trust me! apply the lemon after. do this every night. just try it
