Answer 1

the only thing that can really work is Proactive

Answer 2

I am 30 and still have acne.But it is now almost gone(including blemishes)because for the last 3 weeks I have been using vitamin E oil and garlic oil mixed together everyday.Put it on even though it smells bad and wash it off after about 30 minutes.Afterwards use a non benzoile peroxide cream on the affected areas.As for the stretch marks use baby oil everyday.It will not completely get rid of them but it will deminish them to an unnoticed state.

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.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

Answer 5

Chemical peels and dermabrasion worked great for me. They will give you a skin care regimen to follow and the peel will fade your scars. There are chemical peels that are mild, you do a few over time and there won't be any downtime in between. You can go to work/school the next day after the procedure. The peel only takes about 15 minutes. There are several different types of peels, they will determine the one right for you. Also try a facial, they will clean out your pores to help prevent future breakouts. Good luck!

Hey, chill for a sec. My uncle's acne hasn't gone away and he's 34 or something. My mom still does have those and she's 38. Just don't eat too much spicy stuff and drink lots and lots of water. At needing times, use Proactiv.
I'm now currently living in China and I bought this brand called DHC's Olive Virgin Oil and just use ine drop on the pimple part, it heals very quick and well! I also use DHC's Mild Soap. It magically transforms in to bubbles by rubbing it and it can cleanse very deep in your face.

Answer 7

For your acne you should use proactive or clean and clear products. For stretch marks you should use scar gel or mederma found at Walgreen's. while you use one of those vitamin e lotion works good. you should use it like when you get out of the shower and stuff. You feel smooth and helps out a lot. When my sister was pregnant she had problems like this it worked for her I'm sure it will work for you. You can't even tell she had them before and her acne cleared up really good too. Good Luck!

Answer 8

I don't agree with buyin those expensive products...so I try to go the all natural route...and MY mom..(who's 41) never listened to me..and I developed a regimen for her that really works....(and she's tried proactive)...stuff like that is hard to stick too...so here it is..since I'm guessin you have ethnic skin tone....Check out Lika's Papaya Soap..not only will it get your face..squeaky clean..it fades spots...(google it)..use some kind of toner..I love Neutrogena oil controlling toner...day and night....I did it for so long..i don't even have to use it anymore...if you don't want that...Apple Cider Vinegar (1/2 diluted with water)..is working wonders for black skin....this forum that I read all the time...has a ton of stuff on it...but it's the best because you can find someone with your similar skin tone..and look and see what's working for them...check it out..and if any questions...email!

Answer 9

Go to a dermatologist.

They can get you the right treatment for both stretch marks, blemishes, and etc.

Answer 10

To try and get rid of it would be like start washing really good on your face or anywhere that you have acne and buy some products that are guaranteed,like pro-active and use it every day in mornings and at night!

Answer 11

Best way would be to have it checked by your nearest dermatologist so you know where your money is going by buying the right kind of products suitable to your skin type.

As for the stretchmarks,I doubt if you can quick-fix that without having to undergo a special kind of laser surgery. But of course there are a lot of available products in the market promising better results but I don't know so far I haven't heard of that wonder product that works miracles.
