What helps/helped you get rid of acne or pimples?

Question

I was wondering have you used anything that works? Do you use Neutrogena, Proactive? Home remedies? What helped you get rid of them?

I use a few things, but all they do is clear your face a bit, then make your face smooth. I also have scars from when a pimple went away or something, so something that removes that? I was wondering if there such thing that actually REMOVES skin imperfections. I get alot of stuff that makes my skin smoother but, doesn't remove imperfections.

And please keep the suggestions under 40$.

Thanks!

Answer 1

go to the dermatologist. it may be pricey sometimes, but strong medicine that they can prescribe you will erase acne more effective than just drug store products. i had bad acne& pimples last summer, but my dermatoglogist gave me Retain-A and also a sulfur lotion for the daytime. it cleared my skin right up, and also faded the acne scars i had. that's my advice, hope i could help =]

Answer 2

if pimples are your only problem, id suggest benzoyl peroxide.

i bought clean and clear persa gel 5 and my pimples went down to like 10 to 5, in about 3-4 days. that was about 10$ too.

then i bought a tea tree exfoliator at the body shop but the deal was you can take any two tea tree products for 18 dollars!

major save

ive been using this for about a weekish, and my skin is ALOT better.

i also had a moisturizer i had at home, if you dont have that, i suggest getting an exfoliator and a moisturizer (VERY needed, even with oily skin, can make it WORSE) for the 18 dollar deal.

Well, I use Oxy face cleaner, and I really like it. All my blemishes are going away, but not too quickly. My friend uses Proactive, and I tried it at her house once. I noticed, after about 5 hours, that some of my blemishes were already gone. So, I would highly suggest Proactive. I'm not sure about the scar question, though.

Answer 4

1) Cook oatmeal and apply on face for fifteen minutes and wash.

2) Make a warm bath with blanch of nettle and rosemary.

3) Apply equal amount of lemon juice and rose water with a cotton ball and wash it after haif an hour for 15 to 20 days.

Answer 6

clean and clear. Anything that has 10% on the bottle is the highest and nothing can get better than that percent. I had a lot of acne and I just started using it a week ago and am totally clear. But anything with 10% is awesome and the highest!
