whats the best acne treatment?

Question

what is the best product for getting rid of acne that doesnt cost lots?

Answer 1

I really don't think the brown sugar is a good idea. I have skin problems and see a dermatologist regularly, and he tells me not to use harsh scrubs on any type of acne as this can cause irritation and make it worse. If you are able to see a dermatologist, they may prescribe very effective treatments such as differin, clindamycin, or retin-a. For very severe acne, they may prescribe accutane, which produces the most dramatic results. Treatment with accutane is nearly guaranteed clear skin, but some very serious side affects are involved.

If you are unable to see a dermatologist, there are many over-the-counter medications that many people seem to like. I, personally, am allergic to benzoyl peroxide, but I know this to be very effective for most people. Proactiv Solution contains this ingredient and seems to be very popular. For clear skin, the most important thing is to take care of your face. Wash with a mild cleanser and make sure to moisturize. Also, touch your face as little as possible; try just not touching your face for a few weeks and you will probably see slight improvement. Hope all this helps!

Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

To be honest with you jules all the wons that actually work cost alot. Proactive thats 20 plus shipping and handling. Any product by oil of olay is good especially the ones with microdermabrasion crystals but their 30 dollars a kit. The cheap stuff doesnt work. Home remedy that works. Brown sugar and water. Scub your face with it. It'll scrub the top layer of dead skin off. Do it 3 times a week it works and its only (how much is sugar) 3 dollars a bag.

Answer 5

I would get Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Acne Therapy System. It works really well on both pimples and scars. I have really bad scars on my face and now ther almost gone. It works really well and doesnt dry out your face. I have been using it for about 4 weeks now and my scars have lightened up so much that with a little make up you cant even see it. It also works really well on pimples...it stops breakouts. My face is now clear. I have tried ProActiv but it didnt work as well as this did. It is only $22 and you can buy it at Wallgreens Target ect... I hope this helps Good Luck =]

Answer 6

acne is an internal problem. topical creams and soaps, etc...will never clear up the problem. it's like trying to kill a tree by endlessly hacking away at the leaves and never getting to the root of the problem. acne is either a hormonal problem or a digestive problem. both problems can be cured by the foods you eat. drink lots of water and don't eat anything but green vegetables for two days (especially lots of cucumber). your face should really clear up quite a bit in just two days...then slowly introduce other foods starting with fresh fruits, then lean meats. if you notice new pimples forming then stop eating the newly added foods til your face clears up then add other foods slowly

Answer 8

To get good stuff go to a dermatologist and get the perscription stuff. It's only expensive if you don't have insurance. If you do you can get the 100 dollar meds for $10 and your insurance company will cover the rest. Just check your policy first.

Hi Jules

Here are some real answers on skin conditions. Remedies at the bottom. Cleansing the body of toxins is the key. Especially a colon cleanse! Educate yourself on detoxifyng the blood.

Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - "What is your skin trying to tell you? Often the skin is a metaphor for deeper issues and a way for your body to send up a red flag to warn you that all is not well underneath. When our skin is unhealthy it is usually a reflection of the internal state of our bodies, and is often a sign of poor elimination of toxins and waste products. Most of us are embarrassed by skin problems such as rashes, boils or acne, especially in places where others can see our imperfections. The skin is the body's first line of defense against the environment. It has to deal with the effects of weather, sun , cold, heat, dryness, humidity, scrapes, bumps, soaps, detergents, chemicals, perspiration and dirt of all kinds. It is a wonder that our skin stays healthy most of the time! We can help our skin deal with this onslaught by optimizing our general health and by protecting our skin from harsh environmental exposure. Western medicine generally treats skin eruptions with either antibiotics, cortisone, or antifungal preparations. These medicines may alleviate the skin problem temporarily, or occasionally for good, but do not address the source of the problem. Putting a lid on skin symptoms without getting to the root of the imbalance may even result in suppression, that means the imbalance may be driven deeper causing more serious health problems later without ever strengthening the underlying vital force of the person. Fortunately, naturopathic medicine offers a wide vareity of effective treatments for skin problems."

Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - "Your skin is a reflection of how well your body is eliminating the toxins that build up on a daily basis. Chronic skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis stem from a combination of genetic factors, immune stress, dietary deficiencies or sensitivities, and the accumulation of toxins in the body. For our skin to be radiant and clear, it is very important that the other organs of elimination (kidneys, liver, lungs, and colon) are cleansing the body effectively. If not, the skin will be overtaxed, pores will become clogged, and eruptions of one sort or another will result. Here are a number of steps you can take to improve your body's overall elimination wtih specific emphasis on your skin."

Detoxification is a normal body process of eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. Fasting is the world's most ancient and natural healing mechanism. Fasting triggers a truly wondrous cleansing process that reaches right down to each and every cell and tissue in the body.

Natural Cures

1. Fruits and Vegetables for Acne: Carrot & spinach, celery & watercress, grapefruit juices are all useful to combat acne.

2. Unwholesome Foods: Acne, a prevalent problem among teen-aged boys would not be possible in our society if our foods were wholesome. A most sad and disgusting sight is the pus-filled pimples due to inner toxicity --- wastes trying desperately to escape through the face. This condition often turns a gentle face in the blossom of youth into a waste dump of pimples, pus and subsequent pock marks which can be prevented. The tons of acne medications and prescriptions sold annually act only on the effect of the harmful food, and not the cause of the disease, malnutrition. The traditional teenage meal, a grease burger, french fries and a milk shake or cola simply does not provide enough nourishment for anyone, let alone a boy going through puberty to adulthood. Our highly processed foods are devoid of hormones found in fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. Must do a colon cleanse to rid of all the toxins in the body, which eventually get into the blood and cause acne and all other diseases.

3. Cabbage: Apply a lotion of freshly prepared cabbage juice preceded, if desired, by the application of leaves. The eating of cabbage leaves or juice is also helpful.

4. Lemon Juice: Skin problems such as acne... will often respond to a treatment of lemon juice. For blackheads rub lemon juice over them each night.

5. Black Walnut: Externally, Black Walnut is nearly a miracle worker in cases of ...acne, dandruff, boils, itch, shingles, ringworm--we could go on, but you can see that you can use Black Walnut whenever a skin disorder appears! The tincture is an excellent first-aid remedy for wounds.

Best of health to you

Cheers

Answer 10

Agreed - Pro-Active. It's the affordable way to go.

But it works for some and not others, so it's up to your skin type.
And in the long run detoxing internally is the best. And cheapest by watching what you eat.
