What is the best acne medicine in the world..(include perscriptions)?

Answer 1

I used to have really bad acne and the only thing that worked was Accutane. My acne has been pretty much gone for 3 years straight. You should also used philosophy products to clean your face. The Purity face wash is AWESOME.. and so are all their other products too. (Hint: If you get them through QVC you can get better deals than if you buy directly through philosophy)

Answer 2

My son is under the care of a dermatologist for his acne. He takes a mild broad spectrum antibiotic, once a day to kill any harmful bacteria in his system. He uses Differin (a topical preparation) at night, and a special cleanser. This has almost completely cleared up his acne in 5 months, but his case was pretty bad. The three medications were about 100 dollars a month. Some doctors still use Retin A, but there are more downsides to that.

If your acne is not too bad, you can manage break outs with a little benzoyl peroxide (like Clearasil) at night. If you do not want to visit a doctor, you might want to try Pro Active. Remember, greasy foods and chocolate do NOT cause acne, and just because you have acne doesn't mean you arent clean or attractive...Good Luck!

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots

Tips on how to treat acne and achieve perfect clear skin in as little as 7 days?

Answer 4

I use the Clear Skin Regimen at http://www.acne.org. It's a non-profit (so it's free), the guy who created used to suffer from pimples himself. The system works wonders on my face, and its helped countless other people. The best part is that you don't have to order or buy any expensive treatments, everything you need for the Regimen can be found at your local drugstore. Find out more at the website.

In general, for clear skin it helps if you: don't touch/pick at your skin, drink lots of water, wash your hair frequently, change your pillowcases, exercise, wear little make-up (or if needed, hypo-allergenic makeup), and minimize stress.

Another important tip is to look up online consumer reviews of acne products before you buy them, using sites like epinions.com or drugstore.com. A great website I use to get cosmetic reviews is makeupalley.com (A mostly women's site). Researching the effectiveness of products helped me a lot in my battle against blemishes. Hope this helps!

Answer 5

I would definitely go see a dermatologist and ask about Tazorac. You really would need insurance for this (approximately $150 dollars for the smallest tube without insurance). For the first two weeks, you skin will peel and you will need excess lotion (I prefer Philosophy facial lotion). I used to have TERRIBLE acne, especially those deep hard cystic ones. Tazorac saved my life and you only need to use a pea size amount for the entire face.

Besides that, I recommend a regime of Philosophy skin care. The face wash is so gentle and softens the appearance of pores.

Answer 6

I have a different method instead of pills for acne...
I would reccomend (highly) Clinique Moisturizures. I do it daily and all my whiteheads, pimples and bacteria disappear from my face.
If that does not work, try asking a pharamist what a top brand for acne prescriptions are.
Good Luck!

Answer 7

Accutane. I took it about seven years ago for my acne and it really helped. It has a pretty bad rep because it causes severe depression in some of it's patients and if you're a woman you have to be on birth control when taking it because it can cause birth defects in babies

Answer 8

Differin Gel works well. Proactiv works well too but you have to use it consistently. Also I would suggest changing my eating habits, drinking lots of water, getting a colon cleanse or an enema to flush your system, getting lots of rest and cleansing your skin regularly. Acne is not something you can cure but it is something you can tame with the right techniques.

Answer 9

MURAD! IT IS SO GREAT CAUSE it's waaaay better than proactive cause it will work positively cause there are people who used proactive and it didnt work but when they used murad it worked and those people think just because you see superstars use it and it works you'll buy it and it will work but murad acne treatment uses hardly any cerlebrities and knows it works!

Answer 10
