Answer 2

Uhm all you really need to do is establish a regular routine every morning and night. Then drink LOTS OF WATER. Thats how mine went away. I had a lot of acne once and I moved to Texas and started doing what I just told you. I move back to California and everyone was like, what the h**l? My skin was finally clear!

Answer 3

I am a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.

Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I will explain why it's a broad question!

Your age plays a role! How old are you? Do you always have breakouts?

However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.

Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.

However, using make-up sponges that are not changed or washed often can contaminate the pores with bacteria which may develop into acneic breakouts.

If you are a teenager ( which I assume that you are) your hormones play a definite role in your breakouts.

If you have severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are many factors.

The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.

The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples' needs.

Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?

Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:

www.aboutyourskincare.com

You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.

Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.

They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that's great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it's gone. It's truely magic in a bottle.

A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you're a young girl you will need fewer products than this):

Night time:

1. Exfoliate the skin

2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).

4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts

5. Moisturizer

Morning:

1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

2. Moisturizing cream

The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com

Good Luck to you,

Michelle

Answer 5

I am a consultant for Mary Kay.  I can send you a sample of a velocity skin care treatment.  I personally never had to use it but a fellow representative of mine did try all the above products you mentioned and finally out of desperation tried the Mary Kay velocity for her daughter who struggled with severe acne for many years through high school.  It was amazing.  please visit www.marykay.com/i-lwalwyn

Answer 6

Well, I heard Proactive works extremely well, and there's also a new Nuetragena product that just came out where you take an online test and they find out your stress level and they give you the acne solution you need. What else that also works really well is the Nuetragena Wave. I've tried it, and it's really good!

Answer 7

Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser, comes in a blue and white pump bottle for like 5 bucks.  And I love it.  Nothing else makes my skin so soft and smooth.  Good luck!

Answer 8

Umm well can you at least tell me how long you are on the acne regiments? Usually takes at least 2-3 months before you see significant changes not the ridiculous advertised 2-3 days. Most of those products are Benzoyl Peroxide based, you can try Salicylic Acid which another common active ingredient in acne medications. I believe Clean and Clear uses it as a base.
