How to get rid of acne?

I was in the same boat you are in. I am 26 and still struggle with acne. I have not totally eliminated my acne, but was able to reduce the breakouts and lighten some of the scarring by following the regimen outlined on acne.org. I also use a fade cream called Topiclear Number One (it has helped a lot). I still a way to go before I have totally clear skin, but the advice on acne.org has really helped me.\n\n***It kills me that people assume that your skin condition is associated with not drinking enough water or poor eating habits. Acne is a chronic disorder of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. If you have acne, it won't matter what you eat or how much water you drink.

1. Wash your face thoroughly with a mild soap such as cetaphil.\n2. Rinse with warm water.\n3. Apply a benzoyl peroxide topical cream, such as Clearasil, BP or On -The-Spot, to affected areas only. Homeopathic alternatives include tea tree oil, baking soda paste (mix with a little water, apply and let dry), and witch hazel.\n4. After topical treatment is dry, apply a basic face moisturizer, unscented is best.\n5. Once a week, use a kaolin-clay-based mask and let dry to pull impurities from your skin.\n6. Rinse with warm water, then exfoliate with a scrub such as Swiss Valley Apricot Scrub or Neutrogena 60-Second Mask/Scrub.\n7. Be sure to moisturize well after your weekly treatment. \n\n* 2.5% to 5% Benzoyl-Peroxide Solutions are sufficient; 10% or higher can irritate the skin and exacerbate the problem.\n* Moisturizing is an important daily step, don't skip the moisturizer just because you think your skin is oily. Regular moisturizing will help keep your skin pimple free.\n* Pimple-fighting concealer can also be used for protection all day.\n* Don't use rubbing alcohol. It will sting like crazy and dry and irritate your skin\n* Taking vitamins regularly can also help your skin.\n* Avoid smoking or taking immuno-suppressants (such as steroids)\n* Some foods, like garlic and onions, are thought to improve skin conditions. \n\n* DON'T TOUCH: When you get a pimple, imagine that there is police tape around it. Your pimple is off limits to touch. The oils from your hands will make it harder for it to go away. Do NOT pop it. This will spread the bacteria (causing more pimples on other areas of your face) and may leave a scar (whether you use your fingernails or not). In general, don't touch your face unless you are actively washing it!\n* While you should always discuss any helth issues with your doctor, it's especially important to consult a dermatologist if your acne affects more than 30% of your skin, if breakouts increase after beginning treatment, or if you experience scarring.\n* When you start the treatment, your acne might appear to flare for a week or two, as your skin gets used to the new routine and impurities are drawn from your pores.

Clean your face with a mild natural soap. Use lavender oil (100%) and it will heal acne and pimples very quickly. Put the oil on each blemish twice a day. A little goes a long way. Go to your local health food store to find the oil. I even mix some in with my face and body lotion.

There's not much you can do for prevention - it's just hormones going crazy and you just have to grin and bear it (we've all been there!) However, to get rid of your acne once it's there is different. Toothpaste is a quick and simple solution - just put a little blob on each spot before going to sleep and they'll dry up overnight, gaining a crusty head that is then much easier to pop. Hope it clears up soon (and it will - I had v bad acne from 16-19 years old but once it was over boy was I relieved!)

The best thing you can do for your acne that i have tried is Proactiv. I have tried everything under the sun and that was the only non prescription solution that worked for me.\nBut be careful because some people have bad reaction to benzol peroxide.

Go to your doctor. Your doctor can prescirbe you with a hormone controlling pill that will balance your hormones. Acne is a result of hormonal imbalances. It doesnt matter that it is on your buttox. Taking the prescription will balance your hormones and rid you of any acne.

The most effective products I have used are a combination of salycylic acid medication (stridex wipes/pads) plus a benzoyl peroxide cream (Clearasil daily acne control cream). This has helped clear my acne symptoms. \nI had to see a dermatologist in the past, though, because sometimes acne can turn into an infection...w/ the redness and inflammation symptoms spreading to different areas of your face. He prescribed me a few things, one was an antibiotic to kill the infection that was causing the acne to spread. Just thought I'd add that in case you don't see an improvement from over-the-counter products. Good luck

Girl, I suggest you eat 6 small meals a day and exercise. Another trick that I have is take a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar every evening it cleanses the blood and removes fat deposits in your cells. It also kills bacteria inside your blood stream and clears up acne.

no, no and no! acne starts on the inside, and to beat it, so should you! washing does help.\nwithout going to a perscription, start off drinking 64 ounces of water a day! this will flush the toxins from your system, and start clearing your skin. just washing will help, but it will not clear the acne!\nto get it nipped in the bud, go to your doctor, he or she can help you get it for the most part, clear. good luck!! :)
