What is the best skin treatment for acne?

Question

I need a remedy that works! Anyone know of any products that have actually shown a remarkable difference?

Answer 1

Do you want the truth?? I had very bad acne for about 3 years and nothing worked for me absolutely nothing, i started goin to a dermatologist and after a while they put me on a drug called roaccutane and now my skin is perfect!! But its very dangerous and there is very serious side effects that comes with it!

Answer 2

Drink lots of water!! esp before bed. If you use a moisturizer, use an OIL FREE MOISTURIZER. Wash your face after you get up, wipe face with cotton ball saturated with an astringent to clean away cleanser residue, and then use an acne cream with BENZOYL PEROXIDE as the active ingredient. Then use the moisturizer to keep your skin from drying out because the other stuff will sometimes dry out the skin. Repeat at night before bed. BUT>>>>Drinking water is the best acne controller!! Never use "acne" creams near the eye area, or you'll get wrinkles there because of the dryness.

Answer 3

hi
roaccutane is really the best medicine to take only if the doctor think it should be prescribed to you.
It comes in different dosage so you could try the weakest one first and increase mg if it does not work though i can remember that you need at least to take it everyday for a couple of weeks before you could see the effect.
You have to be carefull if you are taking other treatment or pills cause I know for instance that it prevents contraceptive pills to work!!!
it also dry your skin a lot and especially your lips.

Hope that helps cause it helped me big time!
Good Luck

My nanna always told me to use brewers yeast tablets. i never believed her but i tried it anyway, after swallowing the strange smelling things for 2 weeks i started to see the difference. she explained that it cleaned out your system and your blood from the inside. then also if you can get your hands on some beach sand, mix it in with some aqueous cream and rub it into your skin twice a day, leave it for a minute then rinse the sand off. the cream gets absorbed and the sand exfoliates. the sea sand also has salt in it and that helps cause salt is a healer. it also takes a few days to make a difference but give it a chance. let mother nature give you a hand and keep the chemicals for emergencies. it really works i promise.

Answer 5

Facial turmeric powder (kasthuri manjal) – 1 spoon, honey – ½ spoon, few drops of olive oil, curd – ½ spoon, table salt – ¼ spoon. Mix these items to make a paste and apply on your face. More home remedies available at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/acne.html

Answer 6

Lavender essential oil. Rub it on on a morning. Your acne will be gone in three or four days. Stuff that just smells like lavender is useless. Tea Tree is better, but you'll smell like a fence.

Answer 7

the best stuff of all is ROACCUTANE tablets. They can only be prescribed by a dermatologist (your GP can refer you) and only if your acne is severe, or hasn't responded to the usual medication of antibiotics (Tetracycline, Minicycline, Oxytetracyline, Erythromycin, etc)

See you doctor, don't bother with anything you can buy over the counter
