Severe Acne: Does anyone know a less severe treatment than Accutane ?

Answer 1

Hi

roccatune is the treatment that works best but it is powerful stuff and you need to be aware of the side effects. I took a course in my teens and it was a tough 6 months although it did make a massive difference to my acne, it was over 14 years before any severe acne came back and I then took another course to clear acne on my back.

The side effects were bad, dry skin, nose bleeds, chapped lips etc but if you have had severe acne you will try almost anything to clear it.

Another option you could try first is at http://www.acnenomore.com/swres/ituso.html

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

Pro-Activ works REALLY WELL

but if you dont have the money for that .. theres another secret that they use in the Phillippines to keep their skin clear and smooth...

its called Papaya Soap. Its kinda hard to get here in the states, but if you can find an oriental store that sells it, I would deffinately consider purchasing some.

Also, have you ever noticed that mostly Americans have the biggest acne problems? Well its because we consume so much sugar that it makes our bodies produce insulin at crazy rates... so I'd reccoment cuttin out the sodas and candy and replace it with water and fruit.. its a pain but it worked for me

Answer 6

Well considering my brothers have always had really bad acne, I think I can fairly suggest the all time favorite.. Noxzima it has always been a favorite in my family and has worked awesomely well if used nightly before bed time, and or after showering bathing. must wash your face throughly and pat dry, then apply a good amount of noxzima on your face, make it like a mask, all over your face, now I leave it on all night and wash off in morn, as I get better results..... My brothers, however washed there face with Noxzima morn, afternoon, and nightly right before bed, just apply let set for a few mins and then wash off. Either way works well, but leaveing over night on my face was easier as I only had to do it once a night rather then 3 times a day, now it depends on you on how much and how many times you want to clean your face and how it works for you ... if you feel after the first wash and rinse application is doing you good and don't need to apply three times daily that is great for you then keep with it, if you find its not enough that maybe twice a a day is better for you go for that two, ... my brothers sampled with how many times and how long for a while before they decided three times a day for 10 mins on face and then rince was good for them, its differant for everyone, By the way when I say apply on face I don't mean thinck I mean to the point where you can see the white cream on your face, lol last time I told my friend to do it she used half the bottle in one application lol, anyway good luck with that,, Noxzima is one of the cheapest yet for sure creams to work for acne... yeah proactive works but how many of us can really afford it right, well noxzima works just as good if not better and works faster when used daily .....

Answer 7
