How do i get rid of acne?

Answer 1

One generally doesn't get rid of it; one treats it. Often, the only thing that stops acne is getting older. Sometimes even that doesn't work. I'm in my fifties, and I still get a few blackheads and suchlike ('though it's WAY better than when I was in my teens and twenties).

If your acne is really bad (as in "cystic acne"), then see a doctor. Otherwise, just use gentle, over-the-counter treatments, and clean up each acne lesion as it occurs. Witch hazel on gauze or on a cotton ball is an effective and gentle way to rid your skin of excess oil and kill some of the germs that contribute to acne.

Answer 2

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.

Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
