Looking for the best acne treatment on the market. What do you guys recommend?What is the Best Acne Treatment?
Well, if you're a girl, birth control gives you pretty much great skin. But there are lots of other options, everything from pills to cream to gels.
I think the best person to ask is a dermatologist, as that is their profession and they'll have the most professional advice.
Good luck, wish I could help more!What is the Best Acne Treatment?
Acne can be embarrassing at the best of times. I would try going into a site called Epinions.com and find out what users are saying about various products. Good hygene which involves regular bathing helps a lot. Good internal health is a major contributor to healthy skin. Consider going to see a wholistic health professional, they have some great supplements. Try and stay away from the junk foods. I鈥檝e also had good luck with a product called Acnezine. Below are a couple of articles I found you might find helpful. All the best!
if you've tried just about everything and it either just didn't work or stopped working after a period of time I would go with Avon's new profession acne treatment. it's the only thing i've found that worked right away with results in two days and kept on working. it's on sale right now too at www.youravon.com/virginiakeller order that and u'll also get free shipping!!!!
Breakouts %26amp; Those annoying ones under the skin! I use Zap-it! Cream. It comes in a little tube works wonders.Mine are usually gone in 1-2 days.
I Wash my face (2-3x a day) with warm water and rinse with cold water to close pores.
Before I go to bed put vaseline on my face (a good enough amount that it wont all absorb into my skin and cloth as soon as I lay down) and put a CLEAN wash cloth over my pillow case and sleep with the vaseline on.. I dont think it does anything to prevent acne but it really makes my face soft and it helps when my face is dry.
Every 2 weeks or so I get regular sugar and warm water and mix them until its a thick paste. (You will use more sugar than water so add water by drops!) Wet your face with warm water and scrub your face with the mixture for a while and rinse with cold. It works great for chapped lips also!! Put a face cream of your choice on after and your set!
I have really clear skin but my brother and parents have really bad acne.I can't say if its because of my routine or if its because I dont wear make up, and I dont let anyone touch my face, heck I dont even touch my face unless i just washed my hands. But I get breakouts when i'm really stressed out and they usually dont last more than 2 days if i do all this.
The acne.org regimen from http://www.acne.org worked wonders for me.
It's a three step process. Cleansing, benzoyl peroxide application, and moisturize. Used to get mild acne on my forehead, and after months on the regimen I've been zit free (not even one tiny zit) in months. Great feeling. I would recommend it.
Some people with very severe acne will suggest Accutane, but I believe it has some severe side effects. I would give the regimen a shot and if that doesn't work, go with something like Accutane (but only if it's very severe).
Also, side effects of benzoyl peroxide include redness and dryness, plus it can stain your clothing so you have to be careful. I just apply it after I get out of the shower and let it dry and I'm good to go.
I cant remember how fast i got rid of my acne with this routine...but i do know it has kept it away for a long time!!!!! I dont have acne anymore!!!!! Hope it helps!!!!!
My skincare routine:
Cleanser: Basis....this is just a bar of soap that matches your pH level of your skin....so it wont dry out your face(if you don't use moisturizer though it will) This cleanser seems simple and it is not meant to fight acne...but in a sense it does...it really cleans your face well without drying out your face...i didnt believe my mom when she recomended it...but man does it work wonders
Toner: Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner...really any toner you prefer is ok...but this it the one i use. Start from the top of your face and go towards the temples...aslo with cheeks...go towards the temples...then on chin go in circular motions only(not making it up...this is what you are supposed to do whenever applying anything to your face) This will take off the dead skin and make your pores smaller(helps with the dirt getting in) It also leaves face really smooth and nice looking!!!!
Moisturizer : Sheer Cover Oil Free Moisturizer...again any moisturizer will be good...just as long as it is oil free, made for the face, does not have any acne fighting agents in it. Dot it all over face then apply just like i said with the toner. Moisturizing can really halp fighting the acne. Did you know that dry skin is actually a cause for acne and pimples? The dry skin will actually clog your pores and therefore cause a breakout. Dont listen to people saying you just need to dry your face out...its a lie.
Facial scrub: Oatmeal and Sugar....seriously...this is the BEST scrub i have ever had....just take oatmeal and grind it into a powder and the add Sugar( more Sugar if you want more of a scrub...less if you just want something soothing) then add a little water and make like a paste( not too thick and not too thin) Rub on your face for like 3 minutes then rinse with warm water...put moisturizer on right afterward and your face will feel so refreshed and soft!!!!! Do it about once a week. Dont rub too hard or you will damage face. The oatmeal is for sootheing for face of redness and dry skin. The sugar is for exfoliation.
Steam your face for about 5 to 10 minutes a week. Mousturize right after you steam. This will open your pores and get all the dirt and grim out. It also helps with dryness. Dont steam and use the scrub on the same day. It is best to use it on seperate days. Dont ask me why...just figured it out. =)
I suffer a little more from dry skin...but yet it can get oily at times...but with this routine has been great....and now i don't have a single blemish or patch of dry skin!!!!! It is amazing!!!!! Do this routine( excluding the scrub and steam) twice a day. Your skin will clear up...but in about a week or two your face will break out and that is a good sigh. This is because all of the dirt is getting out of your skin. Just keep with it and it will pay off in the long run...i have great skin right now(used to have horrible skin...i could have seriously been on one of those acne comercials it was so bad)...but now i have stuck with this routine and my skin is now soft and smooth!!!!!!!
Tips:
Vitamin E(taking it and also rubing on face) is really good for your skin
Olive oil is also good(rubbing on face...wamred...rinsed with warm water
Taking fish oil is also good
Try not to touch your face....it pushes the dirt into your face
wearing your hair out of your face also helps with blemishes
If you dont have to wear make-up...then dont...its better for the skin....i recomend not wearing foundation until it goes away...at least a little bit...just wear some eye make-up for the mean time
First, I understand where you're coming from. I grew up with really bad acne, not only on my face but on my body as well. It was embarrassing and I tried everything including cleansers, creams, prescription medications, antibiotics, over the counter medications, and even shots from the dermatologist (ouch!) to get rid of it. I never did until many years later when it didn't matter as much.

Here's what I found out after lots of research and trial and error, the hard way.
It's not a topical issue, it doesn't help much to treat it from the outside, it's an inside job. When you treat it from the outside it's like treating the symptoms, not the cause. You'll hear from many people that's not the case, and it's usually because they want you to buy their creams or lotions, and keep buying them month after month after month (or they haven't experienced the truth). Of course, when you stop using it (as you've experienced) your blemishes come back... because you're not treating the cause. And the costs for all of these routines/drugs add up month after month.
If you think about it logically, it makes sense. Why do we get rashes, breakouts, or other skin irritations? It's usually because of something we ate, something that wasn't meant to be put on our skin, something that caused us stress and our body reacts to all those things.
Bottom line is that most every cause of acne is related to what you eat, how you feel and how you take care of yourself. Your skin is a reflection of what's on the inside. We have lots of toxins building up in our systems and they have to be cleaned out on the inside and that will reflect on the outside. The blemishes, rashes, acne, etc are indications that your body is reacting to what you're eating, to stress, toxins, chemicals, hormones... literally a great number of things.
Basically what I did in a nutshell was clean out my system by taking out the processed and junk foods, and added as much fresh fruits and vegetables to my diet as possible. This part is key. I also started drinking a lot of water daily, starting with 3 or 4 glasses when I wake up (adding a squeeze of fresh lemon at times). I also got more active every day, walking, running, sports, jumping, whatever, just getting active. It not only gave me more energy, it help flush out the toxins that were clogging up my system.
Did you know 90% of acne is caused by 3 major factors? Find out exactly what
they are and how easily it is to solve them here http://topsecretacnevolution.blogspot.co鈥?/a>
Regular acne creams don't work for everybody, and they can make your acne worse. Try something cheaper first like all-natural tea tree oil, this will kill the bad bacteria on your skin (which normal acne creams don't do). This free book explains more http://backacnesecrets.com
