What do you you think would work best on acne?

Question

I've had acne for a long time. I've tried Proactive Solution, but it doesn't work. I don't know what to do. Can you give me some suggestions on what to use for my acne?

Answer 1

Well this depends on the intensity of your acne. If it's not very bad you don't want to use something that I very strong or it might dry out your skin and create new problems for you.
There are two major active ingredients in the acne medications that are on the market: Benzoyl Peroxide and Salycilic Acid. These are available in a wide variety of over-the-counter products as well as prescription products. For some people the Benzoyl Peroxide may not work as well as the Salycilic Acid or vice versa. It all depends on the person.

Sometimes both don't work and you may need to consult a dermatologist who will prescribe something like Differin which also works (I have friends who have used it).

The bottom line is to try the OTC products first to see which one might work before going for something more expensive. Always remember to keep your face clean but don't over wash it as this may strip the skin of natural oils which will cause it to break out more. I try to wash my face in the morning and night as a rule. Also try to drink a lot of water to keep your skin feeling fresh and soft while cleansing your system of impurities. Good luck!

I used Microdermabration for about 2 years and it made a good reaction but hurt like .... anyway, I surfed the net and found these products (botanically based) called Clear Advantage and saw a difference in 3.5 weeks.... hey are reaaly good...http://arbonnepuertorico.myarbonne.com and the best part was the cost, it was only $66 and it had a dietary supplement (natural) a wash, toner and lotion. Really works, just bought it on the web and came directly to my house....Also as a tip, never use a scur since this could activate your acne....

Answer 3

ProActive works for me. Yet I didn't see any results until about a month and a half after I started using it.

Your acne could be caused by lots of things: it's hereditary for one, the foods you eat, the shampoo you use....

figure out what's causing it and change that

I'm really sorry about your acne problems. First of all, try not to stress over it too much because stress causes acne. You should try using neutrogena products. Wash your face every night and every morning. Also, try using st.Ive's apricot scrub.Good luck and hope this works!

Answer 6

It depends on your age and type of skin. But I can tell you this, unfortunately acne has no cure the trick is not to irritate your skin only wash it in the morning and before going to sleep. And for women never ever go to bed without removing your make up first.

Answer 7

There are solutions that are spot treatments. These work great. I can't remember the exact name though. I believe the active ingredient is sulfur something. Ask a dermatologist and I am sure they can tell you the name.

Here's the 30 day plan to clear, healthy skin without drugs, chemicals, or voodoo.

First, limit intake of caffine, drink plenty of water, cut back on sugar and fats, and last, take a muliti-vitamin and a stress vitamin on alternating days. Watch your skin clear up, and feel better too..
