Question

iv tried so many products ranging from 1-30 $'s.

nothing works iv tried proactive,skinclear,and etc's.

i am 16 and have oily skin.what should i do that pratical?

Answer 1

Have you tried Skin ID from Neutrogena? I was thinking in checking it out, not that I have bad acne I just want to avoid any. I like how online it asks you about your skin and they pick the right stuff to take for you since everybody is different. You may want to check that out = )  

Answer 2

i heard that you can control it too...by umm changing your pillow covers every 3 days or something like that because all the oil in your hair gets in the pillow and by that it goes to your face...ooh and to not let hair in your face too much...and not touch your face too much because of bacteria and that causes acne...i heard that in a radio station a long time ago...thats why i dont remember the exact days you have to change your pillow covers.but i hope this helps... :]

Answer 3

I use Proactiv and it has worked great. I would suggest trying Proactiv again but try different products. There Deep Cleansing Wash is great to use in the morning with the Oil free Moisturizer and the Repairing Cleanser at night with the night cream also morning and night use the toner. You have to give products time to work also drink lots of water and eat fruits and veggies and make sure you get exercise. Don't touch your face of pick at it. Otherwise I would see a Dermatoligst

Answer 4

I had the same problem. I've tried products from L'oreal, Clarins, St. Ives, Estee Lauder, Demalogica etc etc...

Stop using products. Seriously they just make the problem worse. Wash your face with TEPID water AM and PM and towel dry. Exfoliate twice a week with an exfoliating facial sponge to remove clogging dead skin cells (try body shop). Drink water daily. This worked for me, good luck.

Answer 5

Diet, lots of water, fruits, vegetables. NO FAST FOOD.

You can try toothpaste, it dries up the acne. Apply it on the acne

I know what you mean when you say the products don't work. Same with me. It's because acne is caused by internal proccesses and hormones. You can't control the hormones, but you can eat healthy AND keep your face clean, dirt on the facial skin is also a cause of acne. (wash your face a few times a day)

You can also try various soaps for the facial skin, i think they help.

Good luck with those zits, give em' h**l   :)))

Answer 6

go to your doctor and get him to prescribe you a week to two weeks worth of "cloxicillin sodium 500 mg" take that 4 times a day on an empty stomach for about a week or so, you should clear up totally within 3-5 days. dont stay on this drug longer than 2 weeks.

this should only be used in emergency situations or for more moderate-severe acne.  

Answer 7

Visit a dermatologist?  I would recommend that....
