I have had psoriasis since I was eighteen, and tried and tested more or less every over-the-counter remedy - only to find it to be fool's gold - so to speak. Expensive and not ailing a bit. Due to the aggressiveness of my psoriasis, the standars therapy-regimes (PUVA, cortisone-, coal tar- and calcipotriole-treatments+++) in hospitals eventually proved themselves insufficient. After a serious outbreak last year, including face, soles of feet, and hands - which rendered me no longer just esthetically handicapped, but physically as well, I was prescribed Fumaric Acid by my dermatologist. Within a month, the itching had subsided; after two months no more plaques began forming, and the once present stopped flaking. Finally, after three months I was psoriasis free. I have been taking Fumaric Acid (approx. 360 mg per day - effective dosage differs from person to person though) for almost a year now, and I am very pleased with the results. The medication -according to my dermatologist and research-reports - do not cause any serious organ-damage, compared to many other systemic psoriasis-treatments. Yet, as it decreases the activity of the immune-system, I have to undertake blood-tests once a month to monitor the white blood-cell count. \nAlbeit it was a hassle to remember to follow the strict medication-regime (you start out with a very low daily dosage (20 mg a day), then increase the amount over time to a maximum of 720 mg a day, before reducing to the lowest effective dosage to uphold a psoriasis-free state), it was - at least in my case - worth it. After twelve years of looking like a scabby dog, always having to dress up to cover a psoriasis-full body, let alone the social alienation due to ignorance from others, I am now going for a holiday for the first time - in a bikini. \n\nGood luck, and may you find something that actually helps.

Hi...\nI ordered the Murad complex kid my teenage daughter (who has tried so many things)....she did say that it helped a bit, (I got her some fo the spray stuff also, for hard to reach back area). "Therapies" tend to work for a bit, then "plateau"....her skin doesn't exfoliate like it should, so I've taken her to a local "salon", and they are trying to get her skin to exfoliate better....then I think the Murad (or whatever she uses) will work better.  So much of it all is hormones....can't do a lot about them darn it.\n(My favorite QE spa guy says salicylic acid is good....not sure but I think Murad has that in it.....I've heard that ocean saltwater is good for acne, too...)\n(and of course, try to get enough sleep, some exercise, and don't forget to drink lots of water!  \nGood luck!

ya i highly recommend it.  First couple weeks will be hell.  It gets worse before it gets better by using accutane.  But it  is the onlyt hing that actually works.

Yes, it is effective, but you could use a barrier of fresh herbs for something even friendlier. Basil, fennel and mint can work wonders.

we'll it depends really on our skin if it really works. i can suggest is try this brands & might as well work for you. before that, determine if you need either: \nanti-perspirant only or deodorant or combinations of both\n& ff products are: milchu, block & white, rexona...SPORT----\n(SPORT- most effective of all types not the unscented).\n*Well, there's also a cream that would work...ask your dermatologist about it...i forgot the name of the brand...i'll ask again my derma sometime soon & i'll give you some info...

Yes, as lookingdabest mentions, I've heard of ProActive as being helpful, too.  I, however, have had no first hand experience with it.  Other than doctor prescribed Tetracycling, which has been helpful for me, I've been looking very seriously into something called "Zeno".  I've attached the link.  This device supposedly treats acne one pimple at a time, but makes them almost disappear in 24 hours.  Too good to be true?  I'm researching this over and over.

Mederma or Proactiv skin lightening solution. I am dealing with the same problem right now.

I have oily skin too and i found that mild scrubs worked decent, like apricrot scrubs. MILD!! Don't grate your face. I started using proactiv in January and it has worked great! Only had one or two breakouts since I started and it uses light scrubbing and benzoyl peroxide. So if you want to stay on the cheap side, try something that will scrub. Use it once a day and see how your skin reacts, and then up it to twice a day. And definitely use an astringent/toner, one without alcohol. If you can though I highly recommend proactiv.

Have you thought about trying a skin lightener?\n\nHere's a link to several products that might help:  http://shopping.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=AnXhbGvKO0K2wscje3En618bFt0A;_ylu=X3oDMTBtNTA5a3RqBF9zAzE0NDg5MTE1BHNlYwNzZWFyY2g-?cop=mss&test=DFLT&p=skin+lightener&did=

I kept having strings of breakouts and decided to give Proactive a try.  After using it for a couple of weeks my skin had cleared up.  I can only speak from my own personal experience but I have found it to work for me.

its working. i cant believe how amazing it turned my little brother to an acne free pimp. ive noticed that my brother's acne slowly disappered in about 3 to 4 months. he had acne all over his forehead, his cheeks and even on the side of his cheekbone. now, he only has a few on his forehead which is not visible when you are about 4 feet away. He uses the solution every night before he goes to bed. u should try it.

There is a product called the Zeno that can be used over and over again with a 90% success rate.  It isn't cheap, but neither are all those lotions and creams.  http://www.myzeno.com/\n\nTRETINOIN (Retin-A) will help quickly, but don't bother with over-the-counter versions, they aren't strong enough and can't be by law.  The proper strength available is by prescription only.

i use it and swear by it, not only for clearing acne, but it keeps your skin nice and smooth and supple. I just find that i have to use a night moisturiser to keep my skin from drying out too much, and use a sunscreen during the day because it makes my skin a bit more vulnerable to the sunlight. I love how soft my skin feels and it's fairly easy to use. Hope it works for you too.

There are products available from various locations that claim it can lighten your skin.  It is however not proven to be effective in that area.  These products are similar to other health and beauty aids, some work some dont.
