What can i do to treat my acne??!!?!?

Question

ive always had some acne but over the years its gotten worse and worse...i tried proactiv, i used it for a year and at first it worked but then it didnt help at all (i actually think it made my skin worse)..

it used to only be near my nose and my chin, but its now spread to my forehead and cheeks along w/ my nose and chin

is there anything i can do to treat my acne??? i was thinking of getting "the wave" by nuetrogena, does it work???

Answer 1

The combination of Tea Tree Oil soap and the Clindamycin cream is the best for Acne and pimple.

For acne scars and blemishes my wife lighten them up using  papaya kojic and licorice base soap and cream which are available online. These work wonders. Maybe it will work on you too. Try searching it through Google 'shopaholic's bargains'

Answer 2

I know when i drink soda pop i breakout like crazy. Eat and drink less sugar high foods. If all of the simple methods fail, go to a dermotologist and they can give you medications.  

Answer 3

eat less less sugary foods and don't drink soft drinks. Sugars increases your blood sugar levels which causes certain hormones to be released such as the ones that increase sebum production making your skin oiler and blocking pores thus causing pimples. Now i know why adults don't eat soo much sugar!!

Use Clean and Clear active clearing gel every night before you go to bed after washing your face. I've been using Neutrogena Cream Cleanser and its pretty good. And every three days get a face cloth and put some of your facial cleanser and rub your face gently- i find it makes as a better exfoliator and your skin 's very soft and smooth after.

And stick to one cleansing product coz if you keep changing your face will keep trying to adapt to the different products and you'll keep breaking out.

Answer 4

i suggest you should try CLEARASIL. :-)

it's mild and dermatologically-tested..

my face also used to be oily but after using it for a month, all my pimples dried up, acne just disappeared :-)

another product you could try is POND'S perfect matte oil control cleansing foam..

it would help in preventing your face from oil-related problems ;-)

and..another tip.don't use moisturizers yet..it would just make your face more oilier..use them when you're done with your problem..

that's all ;-)

Answer 5

I'd stop using commercial products all together...I did that and I rarely break out anymore. Try using a very gentle anti-bacterial soap twice a day. a few times a week use lemon juice and sea salt to exfoliate.

Make sure you eat a balanced diet. how healthy you are on the inside will reflect on your skin. Drinking lots of water definitely helps, as does green tea. Also, take plenty of vitamins..especially vitamins c, e, b6&12 and fish oil.  

Answer 6

Murad Acne Complex.

Answer 7

my sister used proactiv as well and it didn't help at all. it's better if you consult a dermatologist first...

Answer 8

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.

water won't help you ,ur just stuffin yourself up ,Here's the thing cut down on the fatty foods and use something with oatmeal .yardley is the best product for you and for the meantime before you manage getting it just use an aqua soap bar or aqueous cream for washing your face and use the cream again to moisturize it or any other moisturizer .

just remember that if you do not moisturize your face it secretes oil by itself  so that the face is not too dry .

you need the pore wash, toner

and moisturizer and you're set to go (takes under  5 mins to do every thing )
