Answer 2

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

Answer 4

Proactive is a good product to use it works, BUT when you buy it, they will keep sending it to you. But it works!! and if you have an oily face use neutrogena acne wash!! wash it 3 times a day, it just depends on what type of skin do you have that all.

Answer 5

it depends on the type of skin you have. if you have health insurance try to see a dermatologist.

i love love love the "crisis intervention" kit by philosophy which can be found at sephora.com. it works wonders. but be careful it is very strong and i don't think meant for skin that burns easily. it is a bit pricey i guess. but a little bit goes a long way with this stuff. good luck!

Answer 6

i think what you need are facial products containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid in them. those two help fight acne

Answer 7

based on experience, the more expensive the product,the better it works. :) just keepin it real. however, i found out mario badescu works well despite the lower price. :)
