how can i stop my acne? i've tried so many products i don't believe in them anymore. i need tips!!!?

Answer 1

Just keep your skin clean...my ex has acne and she's 42...the over the counter crap can cause more problems than cure...

Answer 2

There've been studies showing that people who follow a "healthy" form of a low-carbohydrate diet have virtually no acne after six weeks, even in teenagers with very serious problems. By healthy form, I mean not substituting carbs with cheeseburger patties and such. There was a book written covering this diet as well, by a Nicholas Perricone who was until just recently a Professor of Medicine at Yale as a dermatologist. You can find the book "Acne Prescription" at Amazon. Diets like this are not fun to follow at all, but for acne they seem to really work.

You can read about one of the studies awaiting to be published here:

Answer 3

I have an acne treatment that has won me the best answer better then fifteen times. Often, the person who voted it the best answer was amazed at how well it worked, even those who had severe cases of acne. 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.

Here are some of the previous comments I got from those who voted it as the best answer,

Answer 4

Stop using so many products on your face. It only irritates it more. Trust me. This may sound silly but try for one month using just Ivory soap to wash your face. Then use witch hazel to tone and clean your pores. After that put on a moisturizer. Not a heavy one until your skin starts clearing up. If you notice you have dry skin then go with a night cream. I use Dove daily face moisturizer. Also wash your face every morning and apply a moisturizer. These products are non-fragrant which is key. They are also gentle on skin. I used this process after noticing that Proactiv and other three step heavy skin care products only made things worse. I did these exact steps for one year and now my skin is acne free and looks like I never had a problem with my skin. I advanced to Aveeno Positive Radiant face wash and my skin still looks great.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 5

I am with you on the acne. I tried EVERYTHING including proactiv it doesnt work for me, it might for you I cant promise anything. My dermatologist prescribe me pills but to me they work a little bit. There is something that works best ACCUTANE go to dermatologist and ask them if you should use it. I cant afford it because its expensive. But if you are serious go and ask them but there is a lot to the accutane like checking your blood monthly and other very important stuff.
