ProActiv used to work WONDERS for me, but now it doesn't do a thing! Same goes for Clinique. Has my skin gotten too used to these products? I even tried them off and on. What's going on?? Also what can i do to get a clear complexion?? Microdermabrasion worked for a while but the acne scars came right back after use. It's too costly and not that effective. I just want to clear up the dark spots and get a nice even tone. Natural home remedies would be most perferred, but OTC suggestions would be appreciated too!

I failed to mention that i don't really have an acne problem, just a pimple here or there every once in a while so i try to stay away from OTC cleansers that are medicated because it drys my skin very much. BUT my main thing is when i do get a breakout here or there it never fails to SCAR. Im just trying to fade the scars/pigmentation thats all.

You need to look at your diet. First, make sure you eat a healthy diet and get all the nutrients you need. Perhaps add a multivitamin. Then, if the acne persists, try eliminating one food from your diet for a couple weeks to see if anything changes. It could be that something in your diet is affecting your skin. Drink lots of water, also, to help flush toxins out of your system.

I struggled with acne for years and I finally found the solution that works for me. We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!
Those of us who suffer from acne have usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:
1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.
There is a great website: http://www.facemaster.net/thefacemasterc... that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.

communicate over with your well-being care specialist ask him to prescribe "MINOCIN" i'm getting this in Mexico yet your well-being care specialist can look it up for the call the following. it extremely works, I had tried proactive, microdermabrasion etc... not something worked in truth made my zits worse. i do not recognize how previous you're yet in case you may get on the birth control pill (orthotricylcen) it extremely facilitates for a zits. For scars do a paste of unpolluted strawberries and placed it on your finished face each and every nighttime, attempt it for a week, you'll see consequences. solid success
