Would microdermabrasion work?

I have heard that microdermabrasion works, but I would go to a dermatologist, they usually can help it right away!

some say a benzoyl peroxide topical treatment such as proactiv or the prescription benzaclin is best... another main ingrediant to look for might be salicylic acid found in clean and clear products.
I recently read about combining the two for best results... never really put that to the test...
From personal experience, i would recommend proactiv.. i had pretty moderate acne problems about a year ago.. its soooo much better now. Proactiv is better than any prescription I ever tried.
If you have breakouts rarely and you're only worried about one or two zits... try just the normal washing your face and using some drugstore treatment, a few zits isn't worth the 40-50 dollar proactiv kit.
and dont' drink sodas... uhh what else havn't you already heard from the above posters...
fish.. fish oils contribute to oily faces...
and exercising regularly helps toxins release through perspiration. wash your face before excercising.. bc any dirt in your pores will clog them and not let the toxins release.. wash afterwards too.. ok i'm done.

No, if you have acne don't use microdermabrasion. All you need to keep you skin clean and apply acne treatment gel. My son had acne, now he is using Mary Kay cleanser and acne treatment and it works very well. products he is using are:
Velocity cleanser ($10) and acne treatment gel ($7). you can order on-line, shipping is free.
Mary Kay is offering free microdermabrasion samples on-line, but once again if you have acne you should not use microdermabrasion.

noxema every single day, I had horrible acne as a teen, but if you keep up using face cleaners every single day it will greatly reduce it. Also use the acne pads during the day. Like after PE or being outside for a long time to clean the dirt and sweat from your face. It takes about a week to start seeing results, and you can not let up on it. Even if your face is clear keep using the stuff. it does work i sware.

My son is 20 now and he used every thing under the sun to try to get rid of his ache So he decided to just use hot water to wash his face with and then cold water after-wards like every time he was in the bathroom and he said that he noticed after a while his skin became clearer. he had been doing this since he was around 15 years old. his skin looks good too.

My skin doesn't respond well to products like Proactive or Clean and Clear.
I prefer to use home remidies.
Things like when you feel the blemish appearing, go put BLEACHLESS mint toothpaste on it and it dries it out so its not as red.
Also, lemon juice mixed with a drop or two of water on a pimple helps to get rid of the acne.
I've also made the odd discovery that swimming in a highly chlorinated pool dries up acne and makes it go away! [therefore I swim every chance I get, lol].

It is a proven fact that dehydration causes bad skin. Drink lots and lots of water. Everyone will tell you to pay outrageous amounts of money on products that you will find DON'T work. 14 days of tons of water should do the trick. Less sugar. When was the last time you actually drank 8 glasses of water a day? Good luck!

I am not familiar with microderm but what my son 17 year old son use is RETIN-A it works wonders on him and you only need a little bit. Unfortunately you cannot get it without prescription, yo have to go to dermatologist first and ask for it, it cost from $90-$120 depending on the size you want.. It is not covered by medical insurance either.

my doctor recommended this medicine for acne
its called benzoyl peroxide wash 5 %
you have to put it on in the morning and night and kind of rub it in where your pimples are
then you use this medicine called clindamycin phosphate gel usp 1 %
you put it on after the wash on the pimples but don't rub it in
i just used it 4 times and already there is a major change
its not over the counter drugs and it costs about 70 or 80 dollars together
