Answer 1

fix your diet...cut out all junk food and eat lotsa fruit.. and apparently lemon is good when you rub it on your face, the citric acids clean away any dirt.

Answer 2

I have to stick up for proactive a little because it really changed my life. I treied EVERYTHING for years, including acutance and hardcore medication and they didnt work, but proactiv gave me skin I never thought I could have. It totally is worth a try and it can take a couple months to work. but for some poeple it doesnt work and I am so sorry to hear it didnt work for you. A big one for me I notice, is DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE at any time of day. I was working this boring reception job for a while and rested my face on my hands and started getting bad acen near my chin. Drinking lots of water. Witch hazel beings down swelling and redness in emergencies. Dont use remedies that dry your skin out cause then your skin over compensates by making more oil. A big thing for me was to, after washing my face, finish with a rinse of cold water to close the pores in your skin so new gunk doesnt get in so easily. Also, when drying you skin after washing, pat it gently instead of wipe. I know one of the main ingredients in proactive is peroxide As for topical treatments...I found you just sort of have to try a bunch of things until something works. Did you give proactive three months to work? .It just worked a miracle in my life and they have a great (but pricey) skin care line that goes way beyond the three step. Good luck

Acne medications are the snake oil of our time. There are websites that rank Acne medications. Some of them do a very good job. Basically prescription medication works a lot better than over-the-counter medication, but check out the acne ranking websites for more information. I don't think Proactive was very highly ranked.

There are also posts all over the Internet that describe how various medications work for various individuals. Before you spend your hard earned money again, check out each product.

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.
Source:
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

Answer 5

Is there a Chinese herbal store near where you live? If there is, I strongely recommend "Honeysuckle Flower", also called "jinyinhua" and "Flos Lonicerae". You put a handful in a cup of hot water. Let it soak for 10-15 minutes and drink it. Once or twice a day. My son used to have acne on his face, now it's all clear. The drink tastes kind of bitter but I think it's worth it. Check out the following links. He also used Proactive and other kinds of cream before, didn't help much.

Answer 6

Drink lots of water and eat lots of fruit. Try this for a week...... Don't eat anything fried, greasy, or spicy. Eat fruit and lightly salt your food. Have a lot of greens. Maybe become a vegetarian for a week. Wash your face at least twice a day or more. In the morning when you wake up and before you go to bed. After you wash your face use a very mild face lotion or cream Nivea is a good brand. Because acne can also form from dry skin so hydrate it after you wash. I hope this helps. Good Luck!

Answer 7

One of the things I do is wash my face with regular soap in a circular motion every other day and once a month wipe my face with alcohol on cotton. When you clean your face with the alcohol you will see all the dirt that is actually on your face. It is shocking!! by cleaning your face exactly like this it removes the dirt and extra oils, but also allows the moisture you need to stay on your skin.

Answer 8

ProActive did no longer artwork for me the two - no otc drugs did. i ultimately stumbled on some thing organic that works. First, I wash my face with tea tree oil cleansing soap that I have been given from dealer Joe's - this is all organic and intensely delicate and non-drying. Then, I pour some witch hazel onto a cotton around and rub that each and one and all over my face. as quickly as that drys somewhat, I do the comparable element with organic tea tree oil. I permit that sink in for a jiffy and then rub some mink oil into my face (or jojoba oil, candy almond oil, or perhaps greater suitable virgin olive oil will artwork)The trick is only to apply an rather little bit - it retains the exterior moist devoid of blocking off pores. in case you extremely are against utilising the oils (yet you mustn't knock it in case you do no longer attempt it), you need to use one hundred% organic aloe gel. this is important to do ALL of those steps each and every night. in the morning, i will frequently only use the cleanser, the witch hazel, and then some organic and organic, all organic moisturizing cream. attempt and shop your palms off of your face as much as obtainable - meaning no figuring out on or popping pimples! in case you employ a washcloth on your face, substitute it daily. substitute your pillow case daily too. in case you employ a cellular telephone, rub some rubbing alcohol over the ear piece daily. utilising all of those steps, my face cleared up interior of two weeks, and my epidermis has in no way regarded greater suitable! As a plus, all of that organic stuff is plenty greater value-effective than the chemical crap! stable success - be at liberty to digital mail in case you opt for for to any extent further information -
