How do I completely clear acne?

Question

I use a gentle cleanser every day [it's not the kind with medication in it because it dries out my skin]
I also apply benzoil peroxide every day.
How come it seems like my acne never leaves? It seems like one day it clears slightly, then the next I have more?

Answer 1

First you have to figure out if your acne is hormonal... if the acne occurs most often on the lower half of your face(cheeks, chin, neck) then it may be hormonal. Only your dr can tell you for sure. Once you figure out what the cause of the acne is, that is when you will find what to treat it with. Your dr may prescribe an antibiotic/or cream. A drug called Spironolactone has cleared my skin and is a treatment for hormonal acne. Be patient and don't get discouraged... anything worth it is going to take some time to work

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.

Here's another option for you....All Clear from BeautiControl.

I've heard many stories and most of them say they tried everything...went to the dermatologist and spent thousands of dollars. Then they try All Clear and boom....gone in a week.

Don't know what it is that make the product work, but it does. Money back guarantee if it doesn't. Just make sure you give any purchase a full 30-45 days before you pass judgment. It takes your skin that long to go through a complete renewal cycle.

Acne is due to hormonal changes, bad diet and unhealthy skin care habits. Sometimes, dandruff in the hair can also cause acne. Include green leafy vegetables and fruits in your diet. Drink a lot of water regularly to flush out toxins. Avoid deep fried snacks. More home remedies available at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/acne.html...

You could have some kind of bacterial infection in your body. It could be hormones too. How old are you? Have you recently had a baby? After I had my son my hormones were so wacky I had to go on an antibiotic to clear up my skin. Make sure you exfoliate a few times a week and use Cetaphil moisturizer. It won't clog your pores..It's very light.

Answer 8

First, check your diet, are you eating fairly healthy and drinking plenty of water?
I don't know your age, but ProActive is a good line designed for teens/young adults. For more adult type acne, I would recommend Rodan and Fields Unblemish regimen. These are the same dermatologists that invented proactive, but this line is for more mature skin. It has prescription strength medicines (but over the counter strengths) and botanicals to help soothe irritated skin.

Answer 9

Try out Proactive. Evaulate your diet. Do you notice when you eat a certain food that you break out? Eliminate it. Drink a lot of water during the day and take a multivitamin.

Answer 10

It's called "Retin A Micro"
High doses of Vitamin A in it, will make your face worse for 3 or 4 days, then Boom! Clear.
