Answer 1

Beware of using too many products for acne.  People make all kinds of suggestions about the best thing to do to cure acne.  Some cures I’ve heard include putting oatmeal, honey, lemon juice, tea tree oil, cucumber, vinegar, milk of magnesia or toothpaste on your face.  Practically every cosmetics company and company that makes personal care products makes something that is a “sure cure” for acne.  If we think about this, and use some common sense, we have to come to the conclusion that there is no quick or easy cure for acne, because if there was it would be well known and doctors would be telling everyone about it.  

Numerous companies make a lot of money persuading people to buy products that at worst will make the acne worse, and at best may help some people a little.  Often fewer products are better.  People often make their acne much worse by using too many products.  There really is no quick fix for acne.  Don’t spend a lot of money on products just because their ads say that they will cure acne.  Your doctor is the best person to ask for help, and he or she may recommend some prescription medication or non-prescription treatment that may be suitable for you..  

There are some very simple and basic things you can do that cost nothing.  Keep your face or any other area affected by acne very clean.  Any mild antibacterial soap will help with that.  Rinse the area well to remove all soap residue.   Drink plenty of water – it really does help to clear up acne.  Eat a nutritious diet and get enough sleep.  A healthy life style will make a difference.  Try to reduce the stress in your life – stress contributes to acne, so also probably the more you worry about the acne and focus on it, the worse it will be.  

Probably the most useful and effective things you can do are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer.

Just cause one thing works on one person doesn't mean it works for everyone. It depends on your skin. Everyone has a different skin type. You need to just keep geussing things that you think might work. This product is one of the first things I've tried and it didn't work for me.

I would suggest going to a doctor or skin specialist (Determalogist). They'll know what to do and they'll give you something that's right for your skin.That's what I did, and it's helping me perfectly.

I hope I helped. Feel free to ask me if you have any more questions.

oh you must try on The Body Shop's Tea Tree regimen coz tea tree is specially made up for skin with blemishes, whiteheads ,blackheads and oily skin. it really worked on my skin whre my skin will float with oil. but now no more coz i'm using the body shop's tea tree regimen. they have concealers made up by tea tree to prevent your skin from being worsening.

good Luck. their product X contains too much chemicals and skin tolerance.it don't dry up your precious skin too.

This Himalaya Herbs Neem Face Pack is also ideal for acne and blemish skin. Specially formulated for acne-prone skin, it prevents outbreak and recurrence of pimples. Rejuvenates and firms up the skin. Imparts natural glow.

Neem well known for its antibacterial properties, helps in controlling acne and pimples, by regulating excess oil secretion and clearing clogged pores. Turmeric acts as an antiseptic and improves complexion. Fuller's earth cools and soothes the skin.

Answer 6

To tell you the truth Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne wash doesn't work. Or it at least didn't work for me. There's a possibility that it could work for you. Proactiv is one of the best! I usually find their ads in magazines, such as CosmoGirl, TeenVogue and Family Circle. It'll cost you about $25.00. And if it doesn't work for you, you can always return the Proactiv bottles, even if they are empty and get your money back.

Hoped that helped.
