how can i get rid of my acne?

Question

i have really mad acne all over my chin and forehead. ive tried everything, even some precription medications. i refuse to try pills thought because i dont believe that the pills will work, and im afraid they will put harm to my body. I want a acne treatment that will take time to work, and if i stop using it, it acne will not come back. I will not try proactive because ive been told that if you skip one day, all your pimples come back. does anyone have any way to make the acne go away and stay away?

[products ive tried: EVERY over the counter product [neutrogena, clean and clear, st ives, ect.] retinA= prescription, benza clin= currently using]

Answer 1

Proactive....you know the stuff Jessica Simpson talks about.
It really has worked wonders for my daughter. She too, had tried everything. Go to their website and read up on it.
Good Luck!

Answer 2

Unfortunatly, I feel all these responses are just a 'quick fix' or a answer that won't work, either way you need to clean yourself from the inside! Plus you mentioned you want to rid yourself of it and not use Proactive. Not only will a body cleanse work but it will save you money and anguish over the years, not only will you be able to stop buying all this crap to dry the pimples and blemishes (might i add not cure the problem) but you will prevent much worse problems like liver, kidney, colon, digestive, damn most problems, even cancer. I'm 25, and female. I had acne and some cysts as I got older somewhere on my body since I was, gosh 11, I think. Ugg... anyway. You need to do a colon cleanse that includeds a parasite cleanse like Coloinix. A toxin cleanse like ToxinOut. And after you've completed at least two months of both at the same time, do consecutive Liver flushes at least 5 up to 15; one flush every two weeks. You can find Coloinix and ToxinOut at Dr.Natura's site. I recommend this one for many reasons. It's not hard, it's guranteed for 60 days (two months). It's all natural. It works. The liver Flush is home prepared, it also is easy and is common and works amazingly. I urge you to do this. Research it. Find how the toxins and built up waste effect you (you can find info at Doc Natura's site), and every one, and how you can get rid of them easily. Look up Acne and Liver Flush in one search. Look up Liver Flush Recipe and you'll find it's a variation of the same recipe all over the internet. Don't bother you're self with the most complicated one. Do the Apple juice, grapefruit, olive oil, epsom salt one... Do it for yourself and your future. You do each cleanse (after the initial one's) once a year at least, no more than every six months. Don't do a liver flush unless you've done the colon and parasite cleanse!! If you want it gone, that is the answer!

Answer 3

It will go away eventually when ur on ur 20's. These creams and cleaning products help but wont take it away completely. The pills DO work a lot better, try tetralysal, its like a antibiotic and is not realy harmful to you and will clear ur face, but if u have sacers and marks from other spots they will take long to come off, but no spots will come up two weeks after taking the tetralysal, u will need a prescription so talk to ur doctor about it, dont take Rocutan or something like that, it clears ur spots but i makes ur mouth dry and other bad side effects. There are other antibiotics u can take which dont have any side effects apart from the one i mentioned, talk to a dermatogist(skin doctor) and ask which would be best for ur type of acne

Answer 4

hun. TRY the pills. I used them and if you talk to anyone else who has used them, they will tell you that it made a WORLD of difference in thier lives. And really, they tell you about all these side effects, but thats because one person outta a million had them so they HAVE to warm people that its possible and not probable. Trust me, proactive works, and i use it now because i'm quite a bit older. But the pills saved my highschool years. trust your doctors and you cant go wrong. especially if multiple doctors are telling you the same thing. they are there to help

if you still insist on not using the pills,
get a really good cleanser with benzol peroxide in it NOT sacilic acid.. that will make you painfully dry. DO NOT SCRUB cause scrubbing just irritates.

My dermatologist told me that tanning helps. Its not by anymeans a cure, and it can only be done in small doses weekly. Like 5-8 mins in a low grade bed. It just drys out your skin and reduces oils.

Finally, get a non greasy moisurizer because it will get very dry.

but honestly, all of these things will just temporarily fix it. the pills like accutane and tricycline (my lil sister is on that) work amazingly

please try it and you will really be happy. i PROMISE

and i feel for you.

Answer 5

I have an acne treatment that has won me the best answer ten times. Each time, the person said it worked great. I'll copy and paste it below.

Use a hot compress on it, and then use cool water to close the pores. Do the process over and over again, about five or six times. Use soap to wash the area, and then treat it with an alcohol soaked cotton ball. It should be gone within five to six hours.

Answer 6

I think worth that you do a little bit of reading to gain more insight about acne. Don't worry, I have just created a webpage full of archived articles to give you an idea where to go next with your problem. Learn from someone else experience and related links that are highly recommended by Google... You may find your question answered by one of the articles published there or any of the recommended links... Wish you the best!

Answer 7

I had that problem, too.
First, Keep your hands away from your chin, I would catch myself resting my chin on my hands.
Second. Wash with IVORY soap before you go to bed. After the skin is dry, put on a good moisturizer. You may think its for older people, but Oil of Olay works great. Rub it on lightly before you go to bed.
I noticed a change in 2 days.
Good luck!

Answer 8

I've had acne all my teenage years. I'm 28 now, and I can say I no longer have acne breakouts at all. I went to a dermatologist, and she prescribe me Accutane. Even though some of the side effects can be very scary, I only experience 2 of them. Dry face, which I used and moisturizer scream (Jergens); and very yellow urinations. Over all, the medication work wonders for me till this day. Discuss it with your doctor, you can be a candidate for this acne medicine. They will discuss all the side effects with you, and tell you how to use it.

Answer 9

since you tried all those products, i would just try to drink alot of water everyday i heard that it is good for your skin and just make sure you wash your face in the morning and at night with a gentle soap to avoid drying out your skin. try this for awhile to see if you notice any changes. also watch what your eating some foods can lead to breakouts too. i cant think of anything else since you tried so many things with no good results. i hoped this helped you alittle

Answer 10

Try ProActiv its kind of expensive, but works for me and usually pimples dont come back if u skip it.
