ok well i have used acne clear, and it really works. there is another little orange tube called ';acne terminator'; or something like that that is also from acne clear. it works really good and if you put it on where a pimple is starting at night, it wont be there in the morning. the only bad thing about that is that it might make ur skin dry, but all u have 2 do is use some moisterizer. then also my sister used pro- active, and it REALLY works. it can also make ur skin dry. either will work really good. so good luckAcne treatment?

i think i've tried almost everything out in the market...to no avail...the only thing that is proven to work for me is what a skin doctor (dermatologist) can prescribe...





but throughout my years i've noticed that if you just keep your face clean (soap and water) and avoid mashing the phone against your face...resting your hands on your face...etc you can avoid most of your problems...





p.s. don't fall for that pro-active crap...it did nothing but waste my time and money...
i use proactive and if you use it every day it does work.


it took about two months for my face to clear up but i guess it all depends on each individual person.


right now proactive has some free sample thing so you could try it and if it doesnt help then don't order it.





neutrogena has really good products too.
a natural alternative to all of those items,


raw unpasteurized apple cider vinegar


heat a qt of water, add 3 tblspns vinegar, make a tent over the pot, cover your head with a towel, steam your face. then dab some vinegar on your skin to clean, do this process 2 more times, then squeeze the blackheads. mix 1/2 water, 1/2 vinegar, chilled, dab on face to close pores and tone skin....


as a skin care routine,


raw unpasturized apple cider vinegar..


the following 2 testimonials can be seen at http://www.earthclinic.com/cures/acne.ht鈥?/a>


Angelina O, has found that applying ACV topically to her face several times a day (4 or more times) has cured her of a ';very bad complexion';. She reports that she applies it straight and that while it burns her skin a bit, it still works like a miracle!


Cheryl writes, ';My daughter developed a case of moderate acne, and after trying a number of different things for over a year which helped very little or not at all, she started drinking 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar three times a day and applying it topically once at night. She has been acne free for two months. It took about three weeks to clear up.';





to drink it, put it in honey and water, or apple juice--tastes like cider..cost is 5 dollars a qt at the healthfood store
Wash your face!
try using Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Defense Face Lotion, around $7 to $8.. i've been using it for a month and so far, i haven't had breakouts anymore.. but you have to be sure to use a moisturizer with sunblock (at least SPF15) since it contains salicylic acid which is the strong ingredient in fighting acne.. the bad side is it can dry your skin, but the moisturizer will also fix that problem for you.. i have oily skin so it's not really a bad thing for me..
I suggest you to go for natural one; others definitely have side effects. A good face pack of neem leaves with a pinch of turmeric is also very good for acne prone skin. More home remedies available at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/acne.html
To get rid of acne. Try a gentle cleanser. One that is glycerin or sorbitol based will be good and it does not need to be expensive. Cetaphil and Neutrogena has some pretty good ones. Try Cetaphil庐 Gentle Skin Cleanser.





Proactiv works for some people it clears up for a while but acne may come back. It is also very harsh on your skin and may dry it all up, definitely not for people with sensitive skin. My friend said it corroded and bleached her metal sink so if it can do that to the sink, think of what it is doing to your face. So Proactiv is a no no.





Wash your face at least twice a day and everytime after you perspire. If your skin is the oily kind, you do not need to apply any moisturizer, your skin oils are enough to keep it hydrated. If you really must apply a gentle light oil free one. Cetaphil庐 Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 or Cetaphil庐 Moisturizing Lotion is quite good





Apply pimple cream to the acne area. Try benzoyl peroxide low strength(2.5%) first. Don't pick poke scrub or pop your pimples unless you want scars which are really ugly. Scrubbing cleansers or washes are also no-nos because it equals picking and poking and makes acne worse Treated pimples gently.





Eat healthy. Make sure you drink plenty of water. Cut down on sugar and carb intake. Foods like chocolates, coffee, soda drinks, bread, rice potatoes or anything starchy and sugary are no-nos. Cut down on oily and fried foods also. Go for grilled, steamed or baked food. Make sure you eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Ensure that your diet is rich in vitamin A, C, E and Omega-3 which are important for the skin. Less stress and sleeping enough is also important. Not having enough sleep is like putting stress on your body. Makes sure you sleep at least 8 hours a day.





If you are a smoker. Try to quit. Smoking causes a lot of damage to your skin because it introduces toxins to it. These toxins can clog the pores or make the skin harder to breathe and that鈥檚 when the acne bacteria set in. The toxins also cause longer healing of the acne as well as the marks and scars left behind by acne.





If all else fails and your acne is still very bad, it is time to see a dermatologist. The pills and medications do work but you may have to take them long term to suppress the acne as it is not a cure and acne is a chronic disease. However the pills are not miracles and you won鈥檛 see results in 2-3 days. It normally takes about 2 weeks to see the difference. However not all dermatologists prescribe pills unless your acne is really bad. The pills will include antibiotics, accutane and contraceptives. If your acne isn鈥檛 that bad, dermatologists will prescribe topical creams first. If you are really going to a dermatologist, I suggest asking about a product known as Retin-A that treats acne and acne marks and heals the scars.
