Find it hard to get rid of the old spots. Help please. Mildly oily face. Use a oil free gel soap to wash face. Any simple remedies or products available in the US will help. Thanks

Answer 1

You might have excess testosterone. That can cause acne at your age. Working out will stabilize your hormones and clean out the skin. Try sweating 15 min's a day and wash your face immediatly.

You can try pro-active, or Murad. Murad even has supplements that can help. Also there are laser treatments like smooth beam, or white light.

Answer 2

I'm 47 and I get a bodger on the very end of my nose - soaps and lotions work, but so does a good diet with a reduction in fat intake.

Pimples are the end result of an infection of the sebaceous glands. There is a school of thought which points to washing with hot soapy water, rinsing with warm and immediately chilling with cold - what this does is shuts the pores down so that infectious particles cannot enter the pores and inflame the problem.

Good luck!

Answer 3

unfortunely the age old wive's tale that once you're over 18 you won't get pimples is a lie.

What works for me, might not work for you. Therefore your best bet is to try a couple of different products out.

As far as home remedies, if you have a pimple and want to dry it out quickly, put toothpaste on it before you goto bed.

Answer 4

I still get pimples too and tried a ton of face washes. Believe it or not, i've been sticking with using Proactiv. Its a little expensive up front but what you get will last you at least 3 months. Thats what I recommend. =o)

Answer 5

When I switch over from regular Coke to diet Coke, a lot of my pimple problems disappeared. If you haven't already switched, give it a shot for a couple of weeks.

Answer 6

i used to have pimples a long time ago, but Nutragena is the best use that it worked for me maybe it'll work for you!!!
