i suffer from adult acne, ive been using pro_active for over a year and still having breakouts.?

Question

is there anything out there that works?

Answer 1

Pro-active is not always the best. There is a medication but you need to see your physician for it as it is prescribed. Accutane has had wonderful results with teenage and adult acne. You do have to see your doctor though for a presccription, as it can have many side effects. You don't wont to use it though if you are trying to concieve children at this time in your life. Good Luck.

Answer 2

I also suffer from adult acne. I've tried soooo many different things it's unbelievable!
One cream that I've found is brilliant! It does dry the skin though and if you wear makeup, you'll need to practice blending!
It's called BENZOMYCIN GEL . Doctors don't like to prescribe it because it's expensive to produce, Make enough fuss though and they'll have to prescribe it!
Like I said I'm 27 and have had acne since I was 13, I must have tried 100's of different things from antibiotics, to creams, gels, light therapy, aromatherapy, blah blah, and this is the best thing I've found.
Another option is for £200 ish there's a type of laser treatment that zaps zits and scarrs called N lite laser (I think!). Can't afford it myself, but have heared that it's good.
Good Luck!

Answer 3

Witch hazel worked for me it is a natural plant extract it should be widely available at your local chemist

Answer 4

our hormones can cause the break-outs and nothing's going to change that unless you take birth control
