HELP!!! i'm a pretty girl and i find it annoying that i get pimples coz my classmates make it a big deal when i have a big red zit!!

Answer 1

i suggest you go to a dermatologist.
however i have the same problem as you.
just use an oil free cleanser and fluid moisturiser every morning and evening.
for pimples use cover stick with your skin cover.

good luck.

Answer 2

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.

First of all, I suggest that you go see a Dermatologist so they can tell you what is the best to use for your skin type. My doctor told me to use Cetaphil Facial Cleanser that can be found at a pharmacy drug store (which has been working great for me, my skin has not been dry and has cleared up since I have stopped using all the other brands), it is very gental and cleanses the pores without any harsh chemicals. it is created by the same company that makes the prescription acne gel Differin (which the Dermatologist suggests to use along with the Cetaphil Facial Cleanser if you have an acne problem). she told me to NOT use store brands that claim to fight acne and all of that like neutrogena, st. ives, ponds, loreal, clearsil, etc. because they all over dry the skin and causes the pores to over produce oils which causes the pores to clog up even more and cause acne. that's how they sell the product...your skin keeps clogging up, therefore you keep buying it.

Answer 4

Try umblemish by Rodan + Fields. It is about $85 but its well worth the money. You get a cleanser, toner & lotion. You would see an improvement in a couple of weeks. Like you, I have tried it all. From proactive to chemical peels etc. I tell you this is the miracle drug!

Answer 5

Try and drink 2 litres of water a day, your skin will thank you for it. Eat healthy foods, less fatty foods. Also contraceptive pills these days really can help the situation. Talk to your doctor.

i have the same problem... I have tried sooooooo many products. This has worked for me....its called clear now. It looks like proactive but different. What got me is a test they did with 2 colenders with butter smeared in it....proactive in one and clear now in the other... Clear now cleared it out...proactive didn't. Its clinically proven to WORK...better than proactive...its awesome. Its the only thing that has worked for me... God bless!!!!!!!
