Answer 1

THIS WORKS FAST & CHEAP!!!
I used Tetracyclin, Proactive, Retina A and had many expensive facials with less than good results.
This has worked for me and many many other happy people.

Go to pharm.,Drug store, or Walmart, buy "PURPOSE" bar of soap - Blue box - Made by Johnson & Johnson - wash your face with this
2-3x's per day. Also pick up a LOW strength Benzoyl-peroxide cream, apply the cream by dabbing
to the individual blemishes.... DONT rub it in works using a oxidation/reduction reaction..It will unclog
dry it out and bring it to a head...DONT over use this or put anywhere else on your face. It will cause drying and make you look worse.

Salicylates such as found in regular asprin among other products work very similar but also remove layers of skin...
other over the counter creams with this product will dry out pimples but maybe too hash and cause surrounding skin trauma..
I have seen many people recommending crushing asprin and making a paste which probably will dry out the blemish but again
pretty strong and probably will cause more tissue damage and bigger scars as an anti inflammatory
probably would take the reddness out... again pretty harsh for sensative skin.

Also, If need which probably will for moisture ASK FOR "NUTRADERM lotion" - the orginal not the new stuff, this works
great and wont clog pores or leave a residue on your skin...Any lotion that is completely oil free and hypoallergic should
work but again I recommend Nutraderm. I have heard from people online that "Purpose" also makes a lotion that is good, Nutragena, and Nivea
make good products also. I recommend Nutraderm from experience and my dematologist.

"Purpose Bar" & "Nutraderm" are oil free and hypoallergic they contain no perfumes and are great for both men and women.
I have also heard great reports of this soap helping improve skin tone. Some people recommend the "Purpose luqid soap" saying
that the bar did dry out their skin some. The rational behind using the bar is that there are no ingredients in it that will clog pores, and
according to dermatologists they recommend the Bar. I have also heard good responses from "cetaphil soap". These products are safe for all skin colors and tones. I highly discourage use
of Proactive and other harsh chemicals for people with some natural color in their face due to the bleaching and drying effect it has
shown in many many people.

Additonal TIPS: acne, pimples, etc are frequently cause by a bacteria or hormone issues that cause clogging of pores.
DONT PICK POP POKE (your hands are the dirtiest part of your body) and will cause: infections, spreading of germs, more breakouts and scarring
DONT EVER listen to people online who tell you to scrub your sensative skin or use harsh chemicals
such as: Lemon juice, vinagar, alcohol, etc... DONT EVER use that APRICOT CRAP!!! DONT USE
PROACTIVE- this is expensive and harsh it may kill the bacteria cause also Benzoyl based wash but
will irritate skin and cause bleaching of face and neck.... Other similar treatments may work.. also
things such as Accutane but have SERIOUS side effects such as Major Depression, & birth defects in unborn children, among others
If you wear make up make sure it is oil free, & hypoallergic...Eating healthy...Drinking plenty of water.. changing pillow cases freq.
etc ...avoiding dirty sports equp. such as helmets...can not hurt...Acne/pimples again are caused by pores/hair follicles becoming plugged
up, this plugging then causes an inflammatory reaction - reddness and infection (pimple)... It has been shown in many studies this most
often not caused by what you eat (chocolate etc... or how clean you are) but most often by either excess oils plugging pores or a bacteria
on the skins surface. - Proactive works in some people because it is a strong Benzoyl peroxide based washed but is most freq. to strong
for people with sensative skin - this is why alot of people get excessive drying and flaking, rashes, bleaching or breakouts from the product.
Retina-A does decrease the bacterial growth on your face but also removes dead/living skin, this can work well in some individuals and
has been shown to reduce wrinkles and scars but again I feel this is pretty harsh on sensative skin prone to breakouts. If you choose
Retina-A never use this product during the day only at night due to the sensativity it will give you to the sun. You must also get a perscription
for this product and I really don't believe it is worth the damage it does to your skin. In some rare cases for very deep/large boils and cyst types
of pimples oral antibiotics maybe needed but I would first recommend trying "purpose" and a low dose "benzoyl-peroxide cream" along with a good
oil free moisturizer "Nutraderm... etc" this does work well.

THIS WORKS FAST AND CHEAP!!! I no longer get expensive facials, take oral antibiotics, or even NEED makeup... I am very happy - Have
very good skin... and have many many other happy friends... THANKS again to my WONDERFUL
DERMATOLOGIST... TRY THIS!! GOOD LUCK.... PS. "PURPOSE" costs about $3

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.

I use Nutrogena's Acne Treatment System - just stay away from the night serum . . . The wash is a combination of a scrub and cream! I love it! it exfoliates, but not to the point of irritation. I can use it daily without over drying, and if I stop using it, I don't break out right away like so many others that I have tried. The daytime cream/sunblock is also great! It's a light moisturizer that doesn't leave me oily. The night time serum/cream honestly made my break outs worse. I don't know what it was with the stuff, but it was just better off in the garbage than my face. If I am breaking out or don't use the cleanser, they have blemish pads that work well too! My skin is a mess when I am stressed, and these are the only products that seem to work for me!

Answer 4

There is no best acne product. That's what my dermatologist told me.

For my severe acne, my dermatologist friend prescribed me this regime after I got an bad reaction using retinoids:

Cleanse with 2% salicylic
Moisturise
Treat with glycolic and benzoyl peroxide

Cleanse with a 2% salicylic acid oil free cleanser like Neutrogena Oil Free Acne wash (contaning salicylic 2% as an active ingredient) - Mix the cleanser with water to foam it up nicely, then apply to your face, massaging it for a while, leaving it on your face for about 2 minutes before you wash it off.

Moisturize - no matter how oily you think your face maybe and worry that putting moisturiser will worsen it, change your mindset now. The more you avoid moisturizing, the more your skin will think it is too dry and produce more oil instead. I use Garnier PureA moisturizer.

Treat - apply glycolic acid (6-8%) after washing in the day and apply benzoyl 2.5% after washing and moisurizing in the night. I apply Avene Diacneal (containing 6% glycolic acid) in the day after washing my face, it is a moisturiser and treatment cream all in one already. At night, i apply Neutrogena On-The-Spot acne cream after moisturising.

I started using it 1 month ago. I happy to say: my skin has cleared up, save for a few pimples on my cheeks. Still using the regime above, because, if I stop, my acne comes back again in no time.

It seems like I use a lot of products, each from different brands (just 4 products only actually). All I can say is, whatever works best, I use it. :) There's no proof in the saying that you have to use products in the same brand for it to work best.

Summary:
Morning:
Cleanse with Neutrogana 2% salicylic acid cleanser
Moisturise and Treat with Avene Diacneal

Night:
Cleanse with Neutrogana 2% salicylic acid cleanser
Moisturise with Garnier Pure A moisturiser
Treat with Neutrogena 2.% benzoyl peroxide cream

Try for at least a month - It takes roughly that long for your skin cells to turnover completely - before you wave the white flag.

Answer 5

noxema continous clean works 4 me as a scrub and prescription Metrogel 1% applied 3times daily in a thin layer, and at bedtime a small amount of prescription tretinoin .01%
those otc 3 step products aggravaited my acne, inflaming my skin and made it look worse than it already was. Clinque brand moisturizer is what i use to counter the drying effects of the tretinoin- it sooths without clogging pores.

Answer 6

Pro Active

Answer 7

ProActive all the way. I tried the acne-free stuff from walmart and it didn't do any good. I switched to ProActive and my acne completely cleared up in about two months.

Answer 8

the best,best acne product is Proactiv
