pimples help!!!!?

Question

okay so, i have like a whole bunch of pimples in my face. i use every thing never works only makes it worse. i wanted to use proactive but i am scared it would leave a mark in my face or something. thats what it did to my friend.

Answer 1

I use proactive and I love it. I never had really bad skin, but it wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. I dont use all of the products they have because I have really sensitive skin and it dries my skin out. I use the Repairing lotion which is great! But only use it in the bad areas or it will make your skin really dry. And you don't want to put lotion on top of it because then it won't really work. Also, my other favorite is the Advanced Blemish Treatment. It's a little tube that you put the medicine directly on the pimple and it dries it up pretty quickly. I love the stuff, you just have to be careful not to over use it!
Good luck.

Keep in mind that you can always go to a dermatologist and they will give you EXACTLY what you need.

Answer 2

dont' waste your time/money on proactive. popping and picking the acne will leave scars on your face - not using the chemical (though it may lead to an allergic reaction). Why don't people read other questions related to your question before posting a question? Well either way, this is what I say, in regards to acne Hope it helps....::

Quick lesson on acne (to educate anyone that doesn’t know):

The skin is covered with tiny holes called pores. The pores have what are called ‘sebaceous glands,’ which make sebum (oil to moisten your hair and skin). If you’re lucky (unlike us), the glands produce the correct amount of sebum and no acne occurs. If you’re not lucky, the pores get clogged with excess sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria.

Whitehead – a pore that gets clogged, closes, and bulges out from the skin

Blackhead – a pore that gets clogged and stays open (top surface darkens)

Pimple – a pore with broken walls, leading to a buildup under the skin

Hormones stimulate the sebaceous glands to make sebum. Acne is caused by the glands being overactive. Acne is not caused by the greasy foods you eat, chocolate, soda, or any of those other fun stories we hear about (unless you’re smothering these products into your pores!!)

What I learned:

Do not scrub the affected areas. This can make it worse by irritating the skin.
Use your hands instead of a wash cloth.

If you do find a moisturizer to use (or even with sunscreen), be sure to use oil-free products.

If you have long hair keep it away from the affected areas and wash it regularly (limits the amount of oil).

When you are stressed, your pores may make more sebum, so yes avoid negative stress.

When finished (or during) exercising or excessive sweating (gotta love _ _ _ ), wash the affected areas.

Try not to touch these areas (I also put sanitizer on my hands before messing with the fun of acne, which leads me to my next point – DO NOT PICK, SQUEEZE, or POP your acne.

Two ingredients to look for in products used to destroy this monster: benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. The first one kills the bacteria that leads to acne and can reduce swelling. The latter causes skin to dry out and peel (which also helps rid you of acne). And again, we come to another point – DO NOT OVERUSE your acne products (follow directions exactly). If you use too much, your skin can become very red and very dry. Always, try a little before putting it all over yourself to check for any potential allergic reactions.

In researching acne, you may want to search for “acne vulgaris.”

Try a dermatologist – they can prescribe stronger medications than what you can get at the store.
