How do I get a clear face? ACNE?!?

Question

I dont have like really bad acne, it just my face is not like clear, I just have some pimples here and there. I have used alot of acne products(mostly Neutrogena) but they just seem to make the problem worse. I think i have more pimples when i use those.

Is there a way i can get a CLEAR face without acne products like Proactive or anything..........

Answer 1

grow older

Answer 2

I dont know about anyone else, but i have tried almost everything you can buy over the counter and proactive and nothing has seamed to work. When i was in middle school i used that Differen Gel and that stuff worked, but it has to be prescribed to you by a doc.

Answer 3

this sounds crazy but only wash your face every other day, on top of when you wash it in the shower! I use to have acne really bad, and i tried everything clean and clear, proactive, everything worked then didn't work worked then didn't work...  your skin balances it self out eventually  

Answer 4

Like Oh My God Girl Like I Like had the same problem like like everyother teenager in the like world your fine like don't worry!  Oh and please dont use olive oil who ever told you that is very very wrong.

Answer 5

You can try lemons. They are always good for the skin. Also you can try something like Burts Bees skin lotion. Its all natural.

Answer 6

Answer 7

cetaphile cleanser and moisturizer, it's for sensitive skin

Answer 8

wash your face twice a day with a gentle antibacterial soap. Ask your pharmacist to recommend one for you. Don't wash more than twice a day as you can overstimulate your skin to produce more oil and it is the excess oil that causes spots and acne.Also don't scrub your face as you will irritate it. When you have finished washing apply a gentle toner with cotton wool balls. Choose an alcohol free toner to prevent your skin drying out. When your toner has dried apply a light moisturiser and use this twice a day. Gels and lotions are lighter than creams and you should also use one that is oil free. Once or twice a week you can try steaming your face to open the pores. A few other tips are to drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated and eat plenty of fresh fruit and veg. If you use make up try to buy oil free makeup and remove it before you go to bed. Don't be tempted  to squeeze your spots as you could spread the infection and cause scarring.    Hope this helps.

Answer 9

try eating healthier and drink LOTS of water . keep ur hands OFF ur face especially if its dirty. dirty hands r  full of bacteria so it'll only make acne worse. yea , olive oil does help, it helps me

Answer 10

i had the same reaction with commercial facial cleansers/toners; the acne stopped when i used herbal facial soap : try papaya soap. i'm not sure if there's one sold in your area though.

Answer 11

witch clear pore gel

orr just use a good exfoliating face wash

the trick is not to be too dirty and not to be too clean

and also when you get a blemish what ever you do DON'T touch it

very warm water and a cotton wool pad will get rid of the puss on spots

Answer 12

noxzema (the old fashioned kind that tingles - in the blue tub) i swear by it...i'm 33 and if i run out, i break out....it cured my teenage acne. use it everyday in the shower and scrub really good with a washcloth...i know, i know, they say thats a no no, but it works for me. also, if you wore make up that day, wash your face before you go to bed, no matter how tired you are. watch your diet, avoid greasy food and don't touch your face with dirty hands.

that works for me.

Answer 13

You should use severe acne treatment it totally works!! i use to have really bad acne last year and it really cleared up this year i use it twice a day here is a picture of it its about $30 but its worth it you can get it at walmart[ :

Answer 21

Here are some home remedies and natural treatments for acne.

Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil is a popular home remedy for acne. It is an essential oil that is diluted and applied topically to acne lesions.

How is tea tree oil believed to work? Tea tree oil contains a constituent called terpinen-4-ol that's thought to be responsible for most of tea tree oil's anti-bacterial activity. Because tea tree oil can kill bacteria, applying topical tea tree oil to acne lesions is believed to kill Propionibacterium acnes, the skin-dwelling bacteria involved in causing acne. Read more about tea tree oil and acne: Tea Tree Oil for Acne? and learn more about Tea Tree Oil

Zinc

Zinc is another popular home remedy for acne. A couple of research studies have found that zinc is somewhat effective. While it was more effective than a placebo, antibiotic medication was still more effective. In light of this, it may not be the best option when scarring is a possibility.

Side effects of zinc include digestive upset and a metallic taste in the mouth. At high doses, zinc may lead to copper deficiency, weakened immune function, anemia, and heart problems. There is some concern that higher doses may reduce levels of HDL ("good") chholesterol.

Zinc may also interfere with the absorption of magnesium and iron from food and supplements. It can interfere with the absorption of tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics and penicillamine. There is also some concern that a particular diuretic, amiloride, can reduce zinc excretion and lead to a toxic build-up in the body.

Answer 23

I have never heard that olive oil will make your skin clear.  Often fewer products are better.  People often make their acne worse by using too many products.  There is no quick fix for acne.  Your doctor may recommend some prescription medication.  Keep your face very clean.  Drink plenty of water.  Eat a nutritious diet and get enough sleep.  Try to reduce the stress in your life.  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.   Here are a few informative links with additional home treatment ideas.

Answer 24

lemons

Answer 25

artistry

Answer 26

Shrak, Works wonders..

Answer 27

Um...eat more fruits and vegetables.

Avoid drinking coke.

And DON"T overwash your face. You remove natural oils and it causes the bacteria to spread and then you will get more acne.

Answer 28

well proactiv works best for me and i did have the same type of skin as you. Now i have almost no pimples.  

Answer 29

You can try the cheaper face washes but I would probably sue Cetaphil, that is a real mild cleanser that actually a lot of run way models use because it is light and also the make-up remover takes off all that thick make-up.

Answer 30

You have to think of cleansers as a business.  If they cure your breakouts completely, you wont buy it anymore, right?

Try drinking more water, only washing your face in the AM and before bed, use an oil free moisturizer and eat alot of fruits and veggies. Alot of it may be you are just that age where hormones are raging (middle school - mid 20's).  Getting a little sun (not burnt) will clear you up too.

Answer 31

i went to the doctors and he gave me tablets and a gel to apply to the face, my skin has cleared tremendously and i wud definatley recommend it (:
