Effective Acne Treatment?

I have had acne for about 5 years now. It is not as bad as it used to be, a lot of my breakouts have calmed down. But I still have a ton of blemishes underneath the skin which cause a very bumpy look. The most affected areas would be my chin, either side of my chin, on my cheeks closer to my nose and my forehead.


I have gone to the doctor about it around 2 years ago and he perscribed a few different things, none of which worked. I use makeup everyday and mosturizer only in the winter when my skin gets very dry.





Does anyone know of any effective acne treatments that will give me results?





*I don't want to take any kind of horomones because I am not comfortable with the idea of upsetting my body chemistry. I am looking for a topical solution only please :)Effective Acne Treatment?
You should ask your doctor


Acne varies from person to person.Effective Acne Treatment?
My mate used to have really bad acne and he got rid of it (slightly weird) he would urinate on a piece of tissue and rub it over the places that the acne was. also ive heard if u rub a little bit of toothpaste on it then that helps it as well.
proactive solutions excellent. i use it

Effective Acne treatment?

I have tried everything i could thing of.


-Proactive


-Clearisel


-Neutrogena





None of them cleared my acne.


And if they ever did it came back within two days.


And im stressing over it.


can somebody tell me about any secrets.


Home formulas.


ANYTHING that works


please please please!


thank youEffective Acne treatment?
Dermatologist. You need perscription strength medication, and probly a round or two of antibiotics to get it under control.





Go, see a doctor. You'll be glad you did.Effective Acne treatment?
There is no generally ';effective'; acne treatment. Your acne is caused by something unique to your body and skin. Which means you need a unique treatment for your skin. I have acne and like so many have tried a pharmacy list of products, but once I went to a dermatologist and kept trying I finally found something that works for me.





Trust me I asked people, watched infomercials and all. Bought the products and it just didn't work for me. If you can't go to a dermatologist for whatever reason, continue to try different products. AcneFree Severe worked well for me until I did see the dermatologist. I have tried all the products you listed but I have learned as you will find with a little research that it usually takes a combination of acne treatments to alleviate the acne.






There is no effective treatment.


You can only prevent some of the acne from coming to the surface.


Everyone is different. For me, nothing works except prescriptions. And proactive helps it stop from forming if I use it every day twice a day or else my skin goes back to normal.


Acne is normal, and while it might be a ';turn-off'; it is natural.
I had terrible acne. I tried everything like you did. Now it is all clear.





Go to the dermatologist, ask the doctor about acutane (it atleast sounds like that). It is a pill you take once or twice a day. You take it for about 6 months. Afterwards your acne will be completely gone or calmed way down.





It worked so well, so if you go to a dermatologist, ask about it.
Well i tried all of those too..and i changed over to Clinique Acne Treamtments...And in the last 2 months or so..My acne has cleared up really well..im not sure its the treatment or im growing out of it..but I love the stuff..it leaves ur face soft.





I also use zap zit when i get a huge zit. And i use Cliniique Dramatically Mosturizer or something because i get dry skin when on acne treatments.





You can go to a department store which has a Clinque counter and ask then about it. And if not you can probably order it on the internet.





The sales woman said alot of people who tried proactiv went to Clinique and it worked much better.
Acne free


for fast results try this it will work within 1 day ! i swear =)


Take a lemon from the fridge, squeeze some lemon juice into your skin


rinse face with cold water


Within the first few tries you'll notice that it doesnt ''help'' with acne, but completely get's rid of it, and makes your skin look HEALTHY, you really do get this weird ''glow''


I can't emphasize this enough. FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS, don't use stupid chemichals on your skin, you're skin is something NATURAL, so it only makes sense to use something NATURAL



your just the same as i was in the end i went to the doctors they gave me some creme but it doesnt rele work that great but say youve finnished the tube and then they put u on a stronger one and lately i ordered a precription on my pharmacys website and they gave me a really strong one now everyones asking how my skin became floorless This WILL work
Wash your face, keep it clean.

What is the most effective creams or treatments used to fade brown spots left behind from acne??

Oh Oh Oh- Neutrogena just came out with one - it's called acne mark fading cream or something like that but I'm sure it helps because they used to have a similar product and it was great. I can't wait to see how this one works. Also, Murad, (www.murad.com) has a serum that is for fading age spots but it works on post-acne marks too. Good luck!What is the most effective creams or treatments used to fade brown spots left behind from acne??
Usually a chemical peel and microderm abrasion help... I don't know if this is completely true or not, but someone said whitening toothpaste. Be very careful of Neutrogena!!!! I just used that fading peel, along with their acne system recently, and I face blew up like a balloon, then burned. I have sensitive skin and well I won't ever buy anything from that company again. I know Avon has a good chemical peel as well.What is the most effective creams or treatments used to fade brown spots left behind from acne??

Is there an EFFECTIVE over-the-counter or home remedy treatment for adult acne?

I have tried Proactiv and AcneFree and Clearasil and Biore and Clean%26amp;Clear and Neutrogena. None of them worked after months of use. I am 23 and have had acne since I was 11. My insurance doesn't cover acne medication and it's really expensive, so that's not an option, unfortunately. My acne is severe, sometimes the pimples get so inflamed that they are more like a cyst and really painful. If I have one on my chin or around my mouth I cannot open my mouth all the way because the acne hurts so much. Do you know of an over-the-counter or home remedy for adult acne? Where can I find it and how expensive is it?Is there an EFFECTIVE over-the-counter or home remedy treatment for adult acne?
Cystic type acne really does require an antibiotic but the ones that are normally prescribed are fairly inexpensive if you request generic.





I have been able to control pimples but not the cystic type acne with home remedies.Is there an EFFECTIVE over-the-counter or home remedy treatment for adult acne?
Im not sure that over the counter applications are very effective. I had acne as a teenager and the only treatments that worked for me were those prescribed by a doctor. I think it needs to be a powerful drug or lotion to get totally rid of it. Im not sure whether what you eat might make the condition worse. I'll have a look in my 'healthy eating' book and let you know if I find anything!
I'm sorry.


Try Homoeopathy first. it will not be nearly as expensive and the practitioner will get to the base cause - maybe your liver.


Try acupuncture - this can be a very effective alternative.


I wish you all success - acne is a curse. But can be overcome.


Some great actors have had acne. And seem to have dealt with the problem.
for some zits, i put toothpaste or deoderant on it and it dries up and shrinks throughout the day and night


hope this helps!
try taking toms,,and dont eat tomatoes. sounds like something is breaking you out.

What are the causes of acne and which skin treatments are most effective?

http://www.Acnezine-Acne-Treatment.ze.cxWhat are the causes of acne and which skin treatments are most effective?
well the cause is chocolate , chipz,and soda wich all have some kind of acid but the best treatment would be oyster cream wich is found anywhereWhat are the causes of acne and which skin treatments are most effective?
I think Tri-clear works. Talk with your dr. they have the best meds or treatment for that stuff.





Good Luck
Acne IS NOT caused by what you eat. Some people are just prone to acne. Teenagers usually get it, but people with oily skin usually have it most of their life until their skin drys out. Depending on how severe it is, you can consult you family doctor or a dermatologist. If it is mild acne, Neutrogena, Aveeno, or Proactiv works. I have noticed if acne is moderate or severe, these products do not work %26amp; a doctors visit is in order.
Acne is not caused by food. Certain foods can aggravate acne, but not cause it.


Acne is caused when skin pores become blocked, due to excessive oils being generated. Then the oil sac becomes infected by bacteria, and pimple forms.


Acne medicines basically work by regulating the oil production, and or keeping pores clean.
I've had the best success with over-the-counter products containing 2% salicylic acid. But it must be used on a regular basis, not just here and there as treatment for already occuring blemishes. What it does is keep the pores cleaned out so not as many blemishes form in the first place.
The food, overall the junk food. The most effective? a balanced and natural diet, avoid fatty food and carbs.

yes loans

Does this skin eruption indicate my acne treatments are effective?

Hey,





I recently visited a skin specialist and I was put on the GlyMed Plus range of Acne Treatments. They all contain Salicylic Acid at 2-5% concentrations, I also have had my first Salicylic Peel, which I am to repeat every fortnight.





4-5 Days after the peel and starting the products, my skin has been erupting like crazy, but ONLY in the areas I get breakouts to start with, mainly my chin and upper lip area. Luckily, they are all whiteheads, which end up drying and peeling off, but there is about15-20 of them! However, I notice each day they become smaller in size, right now they're the size of a pin-head.





My question is, do the products lift up every impurity out of my pores first and then began to clear my skin?? Also, does this mean the products are effective in terms of there actions?





It is not a severe breakout, but definitely much more than before the peel and using the products! How long does the skin need to purge itself of these disgusting eruptions!?Does this skin eruption indicate my acne treatments are effective?
as what ive heard.. some acne products makes you skin worst at first use. because it will pull up all the impurities: dirt and oil.. that are already clogged up in ur pores..





just wait and see.. wait for like 3 weeks or 2.. :) goodluck!





i have acne too.. im 15.. :) i guess its pretty normal.. )

Effective Acne Treatment?

thanksEffective Acne Treatment?
:| Proactiv doesn't work. I asked the lady selling Proactiv whether or not I should use it, and she said:





';You should use it if you have big pimples (cysts or nodules), but small/normal pimples won't need it. Also, Proactiv can dry out your skin and you may not see result using it until after a few months to a year, depending on your skin type. Some heatlh concerns also come with Proactiv like redness or dryness of the skin.';





I don't recommend using Proactiv from what she told me...





I had acne, too. Nothing major, though. I asked my doctor if he could precribe something for me to use, and he did.





IT WORKED AMAZINGLY.


Just after 2 weeks, I could see 90% of my acne was GONE.


(I AM NOT KIDDING.)


I was so frustrated and had such low self-esteem because of my acne before, but now I can go in to the sun and feel good!





Just ask your doctor/dermatologist!


They know their stuff.





:) oh btw here's a tip on how to tell if you have serious acne or just mild (like me):


if your pimples grow mostly on your CHEEKS, you have serious acne. Also, if they are hard to the touch and it hurts when you touch them, that's also another clue that you have serious acne! Otherwise, it's mild :)





I wish you all the luck (because we all know how ANNOY pimples are)!Effective Acne Treatment?
For face: Mix nutmeg powder with a little unboiled milk and apply on acne or pimples and wash after an hour this remedy when done once or twice a week will not leave any acne marks on the skin .


When washing your back use a loofah, sponge or exfoliant to help remove any dead skin cells that may clog up pores. Use a gentle action and don鈥檛 be too harsh otherwise you will end up breaking the skin. More such solutions at http://solutionsforpimples.blogspot.com/
This is a really hard question to answer,


Someone had send me this website and you'll come to a site that has all the info you need .





Hope this helps out some way :)

Pro Active. It works amazing!! They have a cleanser, and a toner you use daily and a mask you can use for spot treatments. It's worth the money!!
If Proactiv doesn't work after 3 months, you should see a dermatologist. Proactiv is pretty good but it could be something serious that you may want a professional's advice.
