I know exactly how you feel. I bet it's not so severe, just in your eyes. We are so much harder on ourselves than others are. I know it seems like acne last forever, but this too will pass. I had acne really bad and it was hard to look in the mirror at times. I noticed when I wore makeup to hide them it actually made everything worse. Good news is it will go away, as mine was completely gone when I was 17 years old. I had cystic acne and do have scars. As long as it's not cystic you won't have to worry about that. If you can keep your face as clean as possible it helps a lot. I've heard proactive is great, I'm glad there's more help out there than there was when I was that age. Keep your chin up, I used to smile all the time when my face broke out, I actually won more friends that way, so I have to give credit to the acne. I'm sure others see you as a very pretty young lady. Draw more attention to your eyes and it will draw attention away from acne or anything else your uncomfortable with. Blush always helps blend in the red spots, and I love lip gloss. Hope this helps! Linda

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.

Answer 5

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 symptoms 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.

Answer 6

I've tried proactive and i was allergic to it... My face became all blotchy, swelled and made my acne 10 times worse!!! Go to a dermatologist... they can prescribe a mild cream or gel which will take stubborn pimples away. It may be pricey, but for me it was worth it in the long run!!

GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 7

ProActive will work for mild or stubborn acne problems.. But before you race to your telephone and order this product, I suggest heading to your local Wal*Mart and purchasing their line of ProActive acne medication. They have a carbon copy of the more expensive brand, try this first, I think it will work just as well.
Good Luck

Answer 8

Proactive is an ordinary product that uses good marketing blitz to sell it. If you check the ingredients they are ordinary stuffs that you can find in any acne medications. Nothing special. Do not believe that those celebrities uses them. They are paid to do that. Go to your dermatologist to see what product works best for you. It might be hormonal since it is just an occasional flare-ups.

Answer 9

if your acne isnt that bad , you should just try a face scrub with micro balls & then buy a cream .. proactive is so expensive & ive heard it doesnt even work . theres also cover up from maybelline that gets rid of small pimiples , while covering them up too . its not that expensive either , & you can get it @ any drug mart . its under 15 bucks & it works very well . good luck =)

Answer 10

You have to remember that Proactive is based on what a famous person is told to tell you.

Nu Skin has a product that will help with your breakouts and will not dry your skin out at all. It is very effective on blackheads, red skin, and there aren’t any shiny effects.

It's awesome! I am on hormone pills, so my skin changes all the time and I still never have a problem.
