How do i get rid of all this!?

Question

I'm in 10th grade and i used to not get acne so badly. Usually like 1 or 2 blemishes every once in awhile, but now, for the past couple of months, it's like all over my face! I've never broken out so bad before! I currently have like, 7 or 8 on my face. I've been using proactiv for....probably 3 or so years, but honestly it never works for me. I do exactly how i'm supposed to, but it doesn't go away in 3 days, like it says. I haven't had a totally clear face in...i can't even remember the last time i did!

I've tried using that neutrogena wave thing, and i really can't tell if it's working or not. I don't think it does anything...

So, what's a good acne-control product i could try? What do you use? I'm desperate, please help!

Answer 1

the only thing that got rid of my acne was bareminerals foundation and now my skins clear apart 4rm a few scars!

good luck hun

Answer 2

to tell the truth, whenever i don't really use anything, but my sister uses Ivory soap because she has really oily skin and the soap dries it  out.  

Answer 3

my friend use to have horrible acne and his mom took him the the dermatologist and they gave him some kinda pill that drys his skin up. immediately it started getting better. he just has scares from his old acne only a matter of time till its all gone. he hardly ever takes them.

Answer 4

Try honey and lemon.

Warm your face with a hot wash cloth, then out a mix of honey and lemon on your face.  Leave on for 10 mins.  You should see a improvement in a week.

Another thing is basil.  Boil a little water then seep a couple teaspoons dried basil in the water. Strain and wipe on face, leave on.

Answer 5

i suggest you use a face wash with benzoly peroxide (at least 5% and no more than 10%). apply it to your face about 3-5 minutes after getting in a steamy shower. the steam will open your pores allowing the face wash to penetrate and more effectively do its job. also, make sure you are drinking plenty of water and green tea, girl! and lay off the caffine because your body processes caffine the same way it processes stress which makes you break out. if you have red spots, ice them to reduce redness and inflamation, then follow with a cortizone lotion (this has a steriod that calms and soothes redness) good luck and i hope this helps!
