Question

What Are Some home acne remedies that work?

Answer 1

Go get a facial at a spa. They can do special facials to help clear acne. I had chronic acne and that was the only thing to help clear it up. They can also recommend some cleansing products...

Nothing else worked for me, but that. I was on acutane, retinol, birth control pills, and many creams

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.

Answer 4

I have not heard of any home remedies that will help acne. But I did go see one of the top dermatologists in the country and he put me on Spironolactone, which is a very inexpensive medication (costs me about $7.00 per month through my insurance plan) and it essentially cured my acne. What he told me is that acne is 99% hormonal. It doesn't get worse if you eat chocolate or don't wash your face enough, etc. I had 20-ish years of acne breakouts mostly on my chin and he said most women break out there the most due to hormones. I highly recommend seeing a dermatologist. The Spironolactone is actually a water pill and my doctor said by accident they discovered it helped patient's acne. My understanding is that it stifles hormone "over production" that can cause excess acne. It doesn't alter your mood, body, or cause a hormonal imbalance. I've been taking it for over a year with no side effects. Hope this helps...I understand how awful acne is but you don't have to suffer!

I think I've had acne for like 6 yrs now.
Here are somethings that I have found to work.
1. eating lots of fruits and vegetables
2. drinking lots of water
3. lots of exercise
4. the sauna

I am using acne free right now, its like pro-activ. It works pretty well, you can get it at sams/costco for a pretty good price.

Answer 7

Papaya mixed with calamansi worked for my brother. He usually would leave it on for about an hour and wash it off afterwards, like a mask. Some people also leave it on overnight,

Answer 8

Try using honey. You can warm it first if you want, but be careful not to get it to hot. Spread it on and then place your hands on your face and repeatedly pull them off. The honey will get very thick and will actually start to pull on your face. The American Indians used honey to heal and it has almost antibiotic properties. Good luck.

Answer 9

Arm & Hammer toothpaste!! I know it sounds crazy, but just dab a little on before bed and wash it off in the morning, and it will minimize your breakouts!!

Answer 10

Pepsodent toothpaste.
