I was looking to try something to help clear up my face. I don't have "acne" persay - more so 1 or 2 blemishes at a time and uneven bumpy skin. I don't want to go buy something and end up wasting my money so I thought I'd see what other people had used (treatment wise) and if it had worked for them. I don't know anyone who has used Proactiv or Acne Free and those are the 2 main things I was thinking about using.
Thanks.

The 2 you mentioned are the best I have ever seen and they will even out the skin. They are very small blemishes under the skin. I have seen it work on my daughter and it is wonderful.
It tells how to use for more sightly blemishes too. Either one, AcneFree is cheaper at walmart.

I get the same kind of "acne" as you do. 1 or 2 blemishes at a time. I se an on the spot treatment from Clinique. It has salicylic acid in it which helps dry out the blemish quicker. I've used it for 3 years. Nothing will make blemishes just magically dissapear, but I think this is the next best thing...remember not to over wash the blemished area either.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL 1/ Never, ever touch your face. 2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day. 3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal 4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal. Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing. 5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again. 6/ Do this for 90 days. 7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days. Source: A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes. The secret is never to touch the spots Tips on how to treat acne and achieve perfect clear skin in as little as 7 days?

Don't use chemicals on your face! Here are some cheap home remedies:
1. Put toothpaste on your pimple before you go to bed, should help reduce swelling overnight. Make sure it is the paste not the gel. One of the most popular acne home remedies.
2. Wash your face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave your face oil free without aggravating the acne.
3. Apply fresh lemon juice on the affected area overnight. Wash off with warm water next morning.
4. Place strawberry leaves on the acne, the alkalinity helps to reduce the swelling.
5. Use an oatmeal or almond mask throughly to cleanse your face. Mix either oatmeal or almond powder with enough rose water to make a soft paste that spreads easily on the skin. Rub it on your skin with your fingertips, paying special attention the problem areas. Leave to dry for about 15 minutes and then rinse off with cold water. This is very good in getting rid of blackheads.
6. Place a thin slice of raw potato on the pimple at bedtime and place a band-aid on it. Remove it in the morning.
7. Dab honey on the zit at night and wash your face in the morning.
8. A couple of garlic cloves, crushed and dabbed on the face 1-2 times a day
Good luck. :-)

Acne Treatment Cream, it helps me a lot. It also keeps your skin dry. I am also using "Derma Flora" brand cleansing milk, moisturizer, toner and acne gel.
