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.

I honestly find the simple methods, the most effective. Get a decent face wash, one that works well with your skin. Figure out what skin type you have and go from there. Wash morning and night, without fail and always remove all traces of makeup if you wear any. Get a moisturiser for day, and a night cream. Moisturise your face morning and night after cleansing. Exfoliate once a week but be gentle. Face mask once a week to a fortnight. And to use directly on spots, antibacterial creams such as sudocrem, savlon or germaline work great on spots. A dab of perfume on them (as long as the spot is not open ie from picking *dont pick!*) on the spot will also help dry it up, make it smaller and reduce redness without drying the skin around it. Just dont use much. I personally find acne treatments are far too harsh on the skin. It may get rid of acne, but your skin gets so so dry, and sometimes acne treatments have left my spots even more inflamed. It must just depend on the skin type.

A pack for acne or pimple prone skin would be that of honey (1 tsp) with 1/2 (tsp ) of cinnamon powder. Apply for 15 minutes. Due to the antiseptic properties, bacterial infections in the skin are treated. More remedies at http://arzi.org/

Hi,
You may think I am NUTS for suggesting this, but it works SO well for me that I feel like I should share it. I use Apple Cider Vinegar as a toner (after I wash my face)..use a cotton pad to apply. When that dries (watch out it may sting your eyes, so close them while it dries) apply Milk of Magnesia as a mask. This will dry and you will feel a tightening...I leave it on all night...
AND I also apply a thin layer of it before I put on my make-up....it makes an amazing primer.
So why might this work.. I think it is because the MOM and the ACV puts your skin at an alkaline PH level..making it impossible for bacterial to exist.
The cool thing about this is MOM and ACV are easy and cheap to get a hold of.
IVE TRIED SO MANY THINGS and spent a lot of money trying to find something that works..so far this has been amazing.

You have to attack acne where it starts, with your diet. For me, diet was the cause and solution. Topical medications fight the symptoms. Start by eliminating trans fats and eating more fruits and vegetables. Once you start cleaning up the inside of your body, by eating properly, the outside of your body (your skin) will be get cleaned up too. I started a website to document my problem and solution.

You might find it helpful to read my story. Just remember to eat an all natural/organic diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. Stay away from processed foods. Use mild, all natural cleansers and don't pick at your face. Get lots of sleep and enough water for your body weight. Remember, clean body = clean skin. While you're waiting for your skin to clear, remind yourself that acne is a challenge that you will overcome soon. Once you're rid of it, tell all your friends how you did it. That's what I'm doing. God Bless.

I have just taken my son to the doctor about his acne.
After 3 years of trying every remedy in the chemist we decided the doctor should be able to help.
He (my son) has now been given tablets to help the acne. They prevent the infection to the skin which is caused by changing hormones.
Not everyone suffers from acne as not everyone has sensitive skin.
Good luck.

As someone mentioned before, Zineryt is a very good anti-biotic lotion. I take the oral contraceptive Dianette for about 3-4 months to keep it at bay. (you can't stay on this for too long but it is the best thing since sliced bread.) Other oral contraceptives can work too but finding one to suit you can be a pain.

I went to my doctor and she gave me a solution, it's got zinc acetate in, it's called Zineryt. I have really annoying skin, very sensitive and dry but then with bizarre acne breakouts! This solution is ace, now I only get small breakouts just before my period, and they dry up before they come out properly.
