Best treatment for acne and pimples?

Question

I've been told by a few people that proactive isnt very effective, or doesn't work. Is this true? What are some good acne treatments or precautions or any help really?

Answer 1

Know what, I've heard that applying toothpaste (original only) does work for pimples. Haven't try it yet (don't get pimples at the moment). Maybe worth trying.

Or visit your local pharmacy and shop for the best acne medicine. Medicine are not all the same, it's the matter of trying it, and see if it works for you.

Answer 2

apply benzoyl peroxide 2.5 or cream that contains or salicylic acid its very effective for acne and pimples…

drink 8-10 glasses of water

Crush mint leaves to extract the juices. Apply the juice to your face every night. This acne home remedy also the tooth paste works too. To remove the redness apply the eye drops which reduces the redness I think its called Visine it instantly removes the redness.

apply ice to your face regularly it closes the pores so that would definitely reduce the acne breakout

I have been using proactiv for about 6 months now and I love it!  You have to give it a chance because at first you break out, but that is normal.  All of the clogged pores need to release before your skin can clear up.  Of course you will always get a few blemishes here and there but nothing like before.  I highly recommend it.  If your skin is really bad then I would see a doctor to make sure it isn't cystic or doesn't require taking pill for medicine.   Another really good skin care is Dr. Hauschka.  All of their stuff is byodynamic and organic.  I switch sometimes between the 2, but mostly stick with tthe proactiv.  Good luck, and don't be discouraged when you break out before you get better.  :)

Answer 5

What i did was i got 4 teaspoons of apple cider vinager and mixed it with 2 cups of water and put it in an empty water bottle. Everyday i take a cotton ball and put some on my face. It really does work. I only get an occasional break out on my cheeks but they completely stopped on my forehead. And even when one comes its a really small one. You just hae to put it on everyday, whenever you get the chance too. It really does help me. (My mom found the recipe in some book with 100's of health issues you can use apple cider vinager for)lol..(it doesnt have a great smell but it fades away quickly)

Proactive isnt for everyone, I would suggest neutrogena [ Foam type]acne solution. Its great [ Gte it from a department store]. Or if you fee like being cheap. Get some dish detergant , one that cuts grease and get some cocoa butter or some type of face conditioner. It works.

Answer 7

i have only known 2 people that used proactive and it worked great for them. They used it everyday just like they were supposed to and it cleared them up. Perhaps different people, different results.

Answer 9

I had a very bad experience with proactive. I went on a Caribbean cruise while I was using it and my skin turned grey. I did use sunscreen as I was told to, but still ended up with grey skin in all my vacation pictures.

I would suggest washing your face twice a day and using an oil free moisturizer. This will help your skin to look its best.
