Honey remedy for skin blemishes. Cover the blemish with a dab of honey and place a Band-Aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the skin sterile, and speeds healing. Works overnight.

Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

Although topical treatments can assist in acne help they will not cure your acne! Neither will antibiotics (don't get me wrong they might take it away for the short term but it will return). Acne is result of a underlying hormonal imbalances, which could have been created by a number of factors including contraceptives, I got ance after going on the contraceptive jag (depo provera). People who say that diet has nothing to do with acne have never suffered acne. It wont cause acne it will only trigger outbreaks in people who are already prone. This is because with a hormonal imbalance it throughs the whole body outta whack including overworking the liver and kidneys therefore the body expels the toxins through the skin (the largest filtration organ in the body). You need to detox,encourage liver function, and balance hormones. The detox here are some methods, Herbal supplements
milk thistle
burdock root
there are lots more i will post some links at the end of this
zinc not a herb but essential for good skin health.
Vitamin E and A also.
Colonics will help detox and encourage liver function.
balancing hormones if you dont have a local endocrinoligist (hormone specialist) you can get hormone tests sent over the internet just saliva you send them back to the labs they give you the results.
Also too much of any hormone is bad in some cases people find that progesterone helps their skin in other it hinders its the same with estrogen.
One hormone you can try and reduce naturally however is testosterone. Try saw palmetto its a herb and has faired the best in clinical trials it inhibits the conversion of testosterone into an androgenic form of testosterone which makes the oil glands work in overdrive.
Accutane works by inhibiting oil production by putting a chemical similiar to Vitamin A in the body however as it is such high levels and chemical that is where the side effects come in.
However you can try doing this naturally in your diet beta-carotene naturally converts into vitamin A in the body so will basically have the same effect and you can consume as much as you want (i'm not talkin about vitamins i mean through food). Carrots are very high in beta-carotene so are excellent try this if you have a juicer, juice 6-8 carrots a day and drink them (their better consumed juiced as you can receive about 70% more nutritional value) in a couple of weeks with a detoxification program you should start to see dramatic results. (length of time it would take varies from person to person). heres some more fruit and veg rich in beta carotene and there values

1/2 cup Broccoli-Boiled-Drained 645.84

Benzyol peroxide is a good thing to look for in acne medications if you want it to work fast but if you use too much of it too often it'll dry your skin.

Proactive is also fast working but using it over a along period of time will ruin your skin becaue it will dry out your skin and your face will begin trying to produce oil much faster and it will clog all pores.

Its ok for a rare use though. Like before dances or weddings or things. Not daily basis.





P.S. I just saw someone saying about taking accutane and the bad publicity thing- it is bad. Maybe it had different effects on him but my older brother took it and he almost commited suicide while on it. He was extremely depressed and the doctors reccomended we play family games every week to make sure he wasnt going to kill himself. Never take that.

Answer 5

Well I have this acne medicine called Acne Free! Its works WAY better then proactive! Its only $19.95 you can buy it at drug stores or online!

Answer 6

Arbonne's clear advantage is great. It also comes with a daily supplement to help keep acne at bay. Working from the inside out. - it's also a lot less harsh for you then most brands.
$$ though -

Answer 7

I agree with Jessica. I actually had to go to a dermatologist because Pro Active actually hurt my skin pretty bad after using it for daily for 3 months. I actually had 3 sores on my face from it.
When I get one a bad pimple I dab a drop decolorized Iodine on it and it is dried out in about 4 hours.

Answer 10

accutane, don't listen to people who tell you it's really "dangerous" -- it's all bad publicity. this usually comes from people who haven't taken it. if you want your acne to go away, skip all the BS creams and get isotretinoin (accutane)
