Answer 1

OK lets be real, acne's a b**** and it's the worst thing to get over but its not impossible. The best thing out there for it right now is Acutane, but, it is not for everyone that's why it is only obtained by a Dr's prespription. Some people tend to be allergic to the medicine, for a few percentage it does not work for, but usually it does, for everyone, even though after you stop using it the acne comes back, like with every other medicine after the treatment is over. It is really harsh on your body though, for women they can't take contraceptives or have kids due to some serious problems that can occur while taking it, other people experience horrible peeling and dryness.

Apart from all this, i used to have acne, apparently not bad enough for Acutane (according to my dermatologist) but it was still bad (at least i thought it was). I don't know about "magical remedies" but i was recommended this over the counter medicine called "Nature's Cure". They have two medicines, one formulated for men, and another for women, and among these they have the topical creams and face washes as well as pills that work from the inside out. I personally tried the cream and face wash. Since i started using it i have yet gotten another pimple, seriously, my face is progressing miraculously, alot of the blemishes are gone, almost all. Smooth skin, it does dry it a little bit but barely, everyone's complimented on it. A few more weeks and my face will be completely clear. To help with this i also get facials done, everyonce in a while to help with the deep cleaning, which helps alot to remove stubborn clogs and blackheads and so forth.

I know not all of these over the counter medicines work for everyone, like myself that i've tried Proactive and Murad and all those things and i actually got my face worse due to them. But this one worked, see if you can find it in a neighborhood pharmacy or drugstore, or supermarket (which some of them also sell them), or online in their website.

About a diet, the main cause of acne is not your diet, eating chocolate or drinking too much soda, it's an old wife's tale, BUT a good diet will prevent excess oils in the skin which will clog pores and cause breakouts.

The main cause of acne are your body's hormones, we can't fix those with a change in diet. For me i go to the gym about 5 days a week, and excercise, this helps your metabolism break fatty acids that may affect your hormone production, as well as providing an overall well being for the body and get you nice and fit, a little blood to the old pump is sometimes the best remedy for current health problems as well as future undeveloped ones.

Stress is another factor that people a lot of the time don't consider, it does affect your acne because too much stress will trigger hormone production in the body and well you know the rest. Try to take life easily, i know sometimes it's hard but you gotta try, for my stress, excercise wipes it all out, and it usually does for a lot of people so think about it.

Well i hope this helps you and good luck with what ever you end up trying.

Try Chlorella. I've been drinking Sun Chlorella in my smoothies for several days now, and my acne has improved in an incredible way. I had really bad acne on my back that I could not get rid of. Over the last few days of taking Chlorella, the majority of my acne has dried up and gone away. I am about 80% clear now!! I can hardly believe it. I don't know how effective the tablets are. My recommendation is to get the granule kind that you can drink.

I used to have really bad acne and went through something kind of like you, I tried everything! Medication, creams, gels, scrubs, all of it. But for the last couple of months i threw all those harsh chemical stuffs out, went out to the supermarket and bought one of those St.Ives scrubs, they're natural, and a dove soap bar. What I do is every morning I use the scrub gently on my face, wash it off, and then get a small face towel, wet it, put some dove soap on, and gently clean my face with that and wash it off. Try not to use any makeup or creams, keep your hair tied up and try not to use too many products on your hair which might be causing dandruff or aggravating the acne. In the evening do the same thing as in the morning but without the scrub, and you're good to go. Less really is more. I also had a friend who had problems with acne on her back and shoulders and she said that using the normal head and shoulders shampoo as a body wash got rid of it really quick. Maybe you could try it on your face? I know it sounds strange but you never know, might work for you, what have you got to lose? Good luck I really hope this helped!

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

Answer 5

Hey, I am suffering from the same problem. People here suggested you roaccutane. I was using it for about 7 months. First few months were just horrible, everything came out tot he surface. I understood what WATER really means... you are always thirsty; nose is bleeding, hair are falling out, while on other body parts they are growing more; etc... Then after some time it got better. But still not perfect! I had no pimples for about a year and then they came back again.... and I went for the pills again. My boyfriend said, that taking them for the second time I sign a contract of my destroyed health. But as we live in this world, where looks have a lot to do with the quality of your social life, I think one really needs to get rid of them.
Don't give up...
