Anyone knows solutions to acne problems? Options

[Julia11]

I have been suffering from acne problems and sometimes they really get worse. I have tried many of the anti-acne products available but I am not satisfied with them as I feel that the results they give are just a matter of time. Can anyone suggest me a good remedy for this?

[weed]

^ have you tried pro-active?

[Tung]

steam your face. stay inside the house and don't sweat. stop touching your face.

actually you're hopeless.

pro-activ only works on some people. not everybody. but its a good try.

[Just_Dream]

^ wait, how do you go about steaming your face? QUE?



Get your ass on accutane! It helps, but there are sever side effects for some people (smal percentage).

[Tung]

uh run the sink with hot boiled water. and place your face over the hot water in the sink, and the pores on your face will be released then you can wash your face with maybe proactiv.

[weed]

i never had ACNE or a sever pimple problem but i use proactive everyday and my face looks ok. I also have friends who have had acne issues and proactive was their highschool savior.

Proactiv sucks. No offense Trish, cause I heard you use it.

or, take a nice hot shower and do it in there.

I suggest the next time you go to your doctor, you can ask them if they can prescribe some type of cream for you. I have this wonderful cream that works wonders for me when I apply it on my pimples. Try washing your face twice a day (don't over wash it) and also, DO NOT POP THEM! It just spreads the oil and bacteria (hence, you will get even more pimples). If this helps out, there's a thread about how to get rid of zits here. Proactiv doesn't seem to work for some. I heard it just makes all of your pimples come out at one time, and then after it's all out, it treats it then. :P My only suggestion that I used is asked for a prescribed cream or this type of bottle with a sponge on it. Ask your doctors to prescribe it for you the next time you go, or whenever you're available.

[carolannexbh]

Ask about benzaclin next time you go to the doctor.

[TaraConner]

This is just one of the most basic problems that most people encounter. I too had been through this and I am really happy to say that it was just a passing affair. I had tried a lot of remedies unless I used Clearly Gone. This product definitely suits your problem as you can see the results as you use it. This is just my opinion as I can feel your pain of being troubled by acne problems and would be happy that someone is relieved by the problem which had troubled me.

[Teesa]

i've been using differin since middle school and it's worked pretty well for me. i still use it every night.

but you should DEFINITELY talk to a dermatologist because that's the best way to come up with some sort of a solution.

in the meantime, you can look through these topics:

Proactiv didn't so shit for me. Dermatologists are pretty hesistant about putting people on acutane, though. So make sure you're seeing one, and they'll probably try you on a bunch of ointments and antibacterials, but if your acne is actually really bad, acutane is the way to go. I've had a few friends ask me for advice on acutance, and nearly all of them have gone to the dermatologist and been told that their acne wasn't severe enough. Basically, the best thing you can do it just to see a dermatologist, and try out what they've prescribed, because it's going to do more than anything you can get over the counter.

[swishersweet]

try proactiv..
it works really well.
and try changing your diet.
sometimes the food you eat can cause oils to grow

[RoyalSwagger]

proactive works, its pretty much the best thing in life

[ohBrian]

sleep early, don't stress too much, be healthy, as in play sports outsides, sweat once a day, and wash your face everyday and do not let it dry

[krissyfrancisco]

its hard to recommend acne treatment for anyone because we do have different type of skin and each product or remedy will react differently with each of us.

[moorepocket]

i just read this in June 08 "maire claire", they talk about isolaz. Isolaz is powered by a breakthrough technology called Photopneumatics (Photo = light-based, Pneumatics = vacuum) which is the only therapy in the world that combines a vacuum with a painless laser to deep cleanse and purify your pores from the inside out.

2 words. benzoyle peroxide.
its the only thing that kills the germ that is causing acne.
everything else just cleanses but the germ is still there.
got it? good.

[DoubleJ]

I got something for your face
Not Proactiv
I'm a pro at this

[rockable]

If its really bad, go to your doctor.
Im on anti-biotics for mine, and its cleared up ok, not the best, but then thats cystic acne for you.

Also, if your old enough or your mum and doctor are ok with it, go on the pill. The doctor offered it to me because apparently it works beautifully! :)

[heyo-captain-jac...]

Chlorine. Pour pure chlorine on your face. It will either clear it up, or it will melt your face.

If she's really that bad then go to a doctor and he'll probably give you prescription lotion and maybe some pills. Do it before it's too late and you start to get scars.

[synatribe]

since summer is rolling around, go swimming, everytimg i go i\swimming my pimples go away, but thats just me, its fun too:] I guess its the chlorine :]

I guess I was dead on.

[IzzyGrace]

Chlorine helps me, too.

Tips?
-don't stay up late and wake up early
-wash your hair at LEAST every other day
-wash your face twice daily with a good soft soap
-if you're gonna sweat, pull your hair back

I pull my bangs out of my face when I sleep/work, 'cause I have greasy hair and it helps my face a bit. ProActive didn't do jack for me :| I'm now using this soap from the Philipines and Aloette Mud Mask.

Oh, and it's painful, but cut down on greasy foods and *sniff* chocolate. It helps your (well, my) weight AND face. Oh, and I wash right after I wake up and right before I go to bed. The Mudd Mask says leave on for 15-30 minutes till it's dry, then wash it off. Sometimes I leave it on until I wake up and rinse it off in the shower. I have to use a washcloth to scrub it off, but it really does wonders for me when Acne Free and Pro Active didn't help at all :|

[emilyy]

Oh! Don’t get upset, I think it is problem of every second girl next to you. There are many ways that can help you to cure the disease but a way that suits you and is not one of the scams to cure them should be adopted. It is better to refer to an online guide
For acne treatment that can make you aware of the pros and cons of the different ways and provide you a better solution. This will help you to balance yourself.
All the best!!!

[dosomethin888]

I recommend exercising and drinking lots of water. Also instead of using regular makeup, use bare essentials.. its au naturale.

[nikx618]

nothing to do with it. learned it in
health class &on a lot of like acne stuff.
its a myth.
but cutting down wont hurt :P

Hi there,

Don't worry it can be removed...here I am going to outline some tips to help you with this problem.

1 Dermabrasion is a method for treating acne scarring. This involves using a rotating wire brush or a spinning diamond instrument which will wear down your skin's surface.

As your skin heals you will begin to see a smoother layer coming through. This can take anywhere from 10 days to 3 weeks for healing time.

2. Fractional laser therapy is one of the newest forms of treatment for acne scarring. This type of treatment actually works on a deeper level than the Dermabrasion or the laser resurfacing.

The healing time for this is shorter as it does not injure the top layer of skin. This type of treatment is generally not covered by insurance and can prove to be quite costly.

3. Some doctors may also recommend a micro dermabrasion or chemical peel which can help improve the area where the scars are. These are also milder treatments that can be done right in the doctors office.

4. Some doctors will also inject material right under the scar tissue which will raise it up to the level of the unscarred skin.

5. Worst-case scenario, if the scarring is real bad, then your doctor may recommend surgically removing the indent and scars.

Mix together

1/2 cup of salt
1/4 cup of grapeseed oil
a few drops of teatree oil

it's amazing and it makes your skin super soft

[xoxo_proud]

You can use toothpaste to dry up pimples. ZapZit works really well. And if you want soft skin put egg whites on it.

[ArtofBreaking]

Wow, what's with all this 'medicine cure-all' bullshit.
You need to get sunlight, thats all it takes, couple hours a day and your acne will be gone in a week PLUS you might get a nice tan, something lotion can't do.

[creole]

Get Proactiv® or Neutrogena. :)

[Blyat]

try pro-actice
or clearasil, i dont know i dont really get acne

[PINAYSTER]

well i tend to always wash my face in the morning, before i go to sleep, and whenever i come or leave my house..
and i rarely have pimples
just wash your face daily with water.. it works for me!

[paolabear20]

Proactiv sucks. No offense Trish, cause I heard you use it.

Yea.. proactiv didn't work for me.
I'm on a doctor's prescription now, and it's working better than anything else has.

[synatribe]

I go swimming and use neutrogena, then eat veggies :]

It can be rather insightful to surf the web. The Internet is a wonderful source for information. That treatment or cure for acne may be right under your nose. They make a number of acne fighting skin care regimes these days that can virtually suit anyone’s face. If your situation is beyond over the counter cures for acne, it may be prudent to consult a dermatologist for answers. He or she can get you on the correct path to a clearer complexion.
