What's the best treatment for acne without a prescription?

Question

No matter what I use I can't seem to shake it. I've tried diet change and just about every over-the-counter cream/gel/lotion/facewash.

Answer 1

Depending on how severe it is, I found 10% Benzoyl Peroxide and a non-comodegenic facewash every morning and night to have worked wonders.

I think age is also a factor. I've been through bad phases of acne in my teenage years, and just 3 weeks ago since using the Benzoyl Peroxide and facewash i'm 80% cleared up with just a few remaining which are also on their way out. Good Luck.

Answer 2

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

I bought proactiv 3 months ago and won't go back to anything else...I first tried the 3-piece 30 day trial system for $19.95 loved it so much I then upgraded to the 3 piece system with bonus for $39.99. Money back guarantee. I don't need to use it as often as it says for I have sensitive skin and can probably go another 3-4 months with the bottles I currently have. Many won't read the instruction booklet regarding vitamin or prescription intake containing Iodine or RDA that will worsen acne even if using proactiv...Face the facts and see for yourself, Real Stories at: www.proactiv.com

Answer 5

A lot of people suggest proactiv, but I can tell you that it doesn't work for everyone. In fact, I used it for well over 6 months and my skin started getting worse. You can try it, but if it doesn't work, I recommend seeing a dermatologist if you've tried everything else.

Good luck to you.

Answer 6

Hi Tod

You need to do a colon cleanse. The toxins in the body sit in the colon and get into the blood and cause acne and almost all diseases. Drink a gallon a water a day and do a cleanse of the body/colon.

Best of health to you

Cheers
