I have acne what do u recommend?

Question

I have acne and i only get it once a month really and for about a week when its really bad. I havent made an appointment with a dermatologist yet but i was wondering if anyone reccommended products that work really well on the face acne?

Oh or if anyone has anything to recommend for some acne on my shoulders and my chest? Its not that much but i wanna get rid of it!

Answer 1

Neutrogena has their own version of Pro-Activ that works well.

(It comes in a box)

Acne-Free worked well for me for about 2 months.

I never personally tried Pro-Activ because I simply don't want to spend the money.


Go for Neutrogena.

Answer 2

Personally, Proactive didn't work for me. I have been using Biore products for over a year and I hardly ever break out! Occasionally I will get one or two, but nothing bad. For body acne I use Neutrogena acne body wash I never break out on my body. It gets 110 in summer so sweat in inevitably, yet I never break out. Give it a try. All of it is cheap too. About $5-10 depending on what you buy! Salysic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying fo rme! Good luck!

Answer 3

Try taking Evening Primrose Oil. This has worked great for my and clearing up my acne. It is a pill you take orally so it will clear up your whole body. You can get it at any drug store, but I prefer to get mine from the health food store. I buy the Solgar brand. (I'm sure any brand will work fine) Just follow the instructions on the bottle, and drink a lot of water. Water helps keep your skin clear. Good luck.

Answer 4

I used to have an acute case of acne when I was younger for many years; it covered

my face, back, chest and posterior. I eventually healed myself without the use of

drugs. I cured myself through DIET.

-This is what you should ELIMINATE!!! quit eating eating it:

fried foods
White bread/flour
starch combinations during the same meal (e.g. potatoes and pasta)
soda/carbonated drinks
sugar/corn syrup
meat/dairy
soft foods (processed foods)
hydrogenated oils (in processed foods)
fast food

(my sister had eczema for a # of years; and I also told her to change her diet, but

she wouldn't listen. eventually, she took a massage course and it talked about the

importance of diet, so she just tried quiting fast food and soda, when she did

that, her eczema cleared up. now she listens to my advice.)



-you should increase your intake of:

fruits/vegetables, preferably organic (you should have a salad a day, at the least)
8 glasses of water a day
whole foods
black and/or brown bread (whole grains)
nuts


-you should have a balance, of 80% alkaline (mostly FRESH fruits and vegetables)

forming foods, to 20% acid forming foods.

going vegetarian/vegan/raw foodist would help. it helps set strict goals and rules

to follow. I had to adhere to these rules strictly, but mine was a severe case.

eating this way comes naturally to me now.

-----

Basically, your eliminations are poor/sluggish; thats is why some people can get

away with eating badly, but you may not. The reason changing your diet to the foods

below will help is because your eating foods that are much easier to digest and

elminate than those above. exercising will help, also.

I would check out Edgar Cayce; without his advice I would probably still suffer

today.

He also said you can help yourself through exercise and osteopathic adjustments to

your spine, he said this can create imbalances in your nervous system (if it isn't

in proper adjustment) which will affect everything else. I haven't done this yet,

as it is expensive; but I assume when I do, I will be able to better digest the

aforementioned foods. Through DIET ALONE I have been cured for a number of years.

Don't believe the people who say it doesn't effect it, I swear to god this will

help. It helped me. =) good luck!

Just so others are aware, I'm copy/pasting this to others, so they can get advice,

because I have been there. i'm not selling or advertising for anyone or anything,

i'm not spamming. don't think that, if you see this advice elsewhere.

Answer 5

Start with a good dermatologist.
They will determine the severity of your breakout
Products like Proactive work for some people, but after that didn't help my daughter, I had to take her to the doctor.
She had to take an oral medication for a while and was given a perscription for these wipes (Clindets) to use and a cream .

Answer 6

I recommend Acne Treatment Gel by Mary Kay. Go to this site: www.marykay.com/cassandralane

Answer 7

Washing your face, not using cover up cause it causes more acne, and proactive solution, also a good face wash cetaphil, or the swiss scrub with appricott, i cant quite remember what its called

Answer 8

if you only use this for short amounts of time I recomend Clearasil ultra acne scrub and cream (not moisturizer... acne cream) then use neutrogena spf 15 mouisturizer... if you have persistant acne use clearasil ultra daily instead of acne scrub. And for your chest and body acne I suggest mark by avon 'bacne' spray.

Answer 9

dont use poactive it was a scam i used it for 1 year and no results!
learn about acne and ways to prevent it.
the only true answer to clear acne is a dermatoligest

Answer 10

well you can try pro active if it's to much money then try to buy something from wal-mart it works well on me. oh and drink lots of water 8 glasses but not at the same time cause then your stomach will hurt bad. do yoga stress causes pimples.
