That's not true. Proactive is just benzoyl peroxide. You can get much cheaper ones from any shop. The one that makes it worse after you stop using it is salicylic acid, your skin gets used to it and sort of relies on it. In a way. |

Get a bottle of witch hazel and douse a cotton ball or cloth in it and apply it to the areas where you have acne. A little old school remedy my grandma taught me. I have some medicine that causes acne (never had a problem with it before) and that seemed to do the trick. |

Garlic can treat acne. If you want to try garlic and the method for using it, you may search it to Google. |

Hello, |
|
As far as home remedies go ive herd that washing your face with soap everytime you enter the bathroom helps. Also my sister who has moderate to bad acne (Definately has to do with diet) used the clear mass in the aloe vera plant. I tried it to for a while and could note a difference it makes your skin very dry though (If your thinking of doing this only use the gel until it starts developing a pinkish hue to it; that means bactiria is starting to grow in it PINK = NONO) Ive noticed personally a lot of bread, sugar, and especially oil, and processed foods give me bad acne. Ive stopped eating processed food almost all together and my acne has noticably changed. I also tried vegetarianism and my skin was very clear until I started eating a lot of pasta and bread. Maybe looking at your diet is the way to go? Hope this helps! |

Reduce stress with regular exercise, Reduce or limit refined carbohydrates and sugar intake, |

i had a acne on my nasal area quite a while ago and i think i must have suddenly scraped it or something. and i keep in mind it blood vessels loss then scabbing up then blood vessels loss again a few periods. now i have this little push, kind of like a smooth sore that's loaded with blood vessels. as total as that appears to be, i had it for about per weeks time now and i don't know what to do with it. |
|
I'm glad this thread popped up again. Coz I have found the perfect treatment. Cure, basically. |
|
Dunno if this helps, but I have a very bad acne. I went to a dermatologist but none of the treatment helped. Until he gave me Isotretinoin. It cleared my brother's acne and its been about 9 months since I remember him having a pimple. I on the other hand started the treatment 2 weeks ago and right now my face is pretty clear. |

Steroid cause acne and harmful for health.Another reason for acne fatty and spicy foods ,so avoid fatty and spicy foods.And if you face acne problem consult your family doctor! |

Simple fact. I do not know if anyone posted it yet. Touching your face causes acne. I am refering to resting your face in the palm of your hand, either resting while sitting or placing your hand against your face while laying in bed. |
|
For acne, add fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds more in your diet meals, increase your water intake and manage stress with regular exercise. Limit refined carbohydrates, sugar intake and dairy products and quit stimulants like caffeine, alcohol and smoking. |

Ah, this thread reminded me of my acne as a teen. Mine was not really all that bad, but I really wanted to get rid of it. We went to a general practitioner doctor who must have not been very good because he told me to stop eating citrus fruit and to avoid drinking liquids during meals (limit drinking to before and after meals). I can report that from my experience neither of those did anything for my acne whatsoever. Do beware - sometimes doctor's also give bad advise. Aging however worked wonders: now that I am forty, no more acne for many years already - don't remember when it stopped, but yes, aging really cured it. |

This is an old thread but I'll reply anyway! I had a lot of pimples in my teenage years and the doctor prescribed a very effective ayurvedic remedy. 'Kumkumadi thailam' (saffron oil mixed with some herbal extracts). The pimples were gone in no time and the skin became really smooth. But I'm not sure if it's available in other countries... |
