I've been using Proactiv for ever and to be honest I was the same way it just wasn't working for me and I called them and spoke with them and they have an extra strength Proactiv Solution and it helped because my face cleared up a lot. It's just too strong so I minimize the use of it and use the regular on more often but good luck

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.

If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

You could try lemon juice like previously suggested but depending on the type of acne, it may just get worse. Do not over wash (not more than 3 times a day). Proactiv works wonders, but if that is not enough, go to your doctor and get a perscription for high strength benzoyl peroxide (the main ingredient in proactiv). I would provide information on extracting the active ingredient to make a stronger mixture, because the higher the strength the significantly stronger acne fighting effect, but at high concentrations it is extremely toxic and carcinogenic (BUT NOT AT ALL at normal concentrations). I hope this helps. NOTE: Most stores like target and walmart now sell a generic brand of this in 3 parts 1: cleaning solution (sometimes with beads that exfoliate or remove the top layer of skin and debris) 2: Toner - Allows the skin to take in moisture so it doesnt dry out, 3 - Benzoyl Peroxide - low dosage acne medication. I would reccomend getting a lotion for extra dry skin (do not get scented or anything that may irritate the skin) try to get a lotion from a makeup company because they often are thicker and work better than regular hand lotion.

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.

For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.

Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.

Accutane. It's a prescription acne medication.
Works like a dream.....but has also been known to cause depression and liver damage. Many teen suicides have been linked to it.

I say just wait it out.

you need to stop touching your face, for starters.

secondly, you need to start rejuvenating your skin. try some/all of these:
apply aloe Vera gel to affected areas during the day.
wash with moisturizing face soap (no harsh apricot scrubs).
drink a lot of water.
look into stress/constipation. two factors that can cause acne.
vitamin E oil before you go to sleep.

think positive! you WILL look great!

Good Luck!

go see a dermatologist. Acne has many different causes and one medicine like proactive doesnt work for all the causes.
