Pain23 is absolutely right.  Proactiv works.  I used to be called Pizza Face in school.  Now I get the occasional pimple, but mainly in coordination with my menstral cycle.\n\nYou don't need to go crazy to with the proactiv to start, just get the starter kit.  If you get pimples 'everywhere' they also make a wonderful body scrub.\n\nProactiv does contain medical ingredients, but you do not need a perscription.  Also, if you have very sensetive or allergic skin, you may want to do a patch test.  (Proactiv has a money back guarantee, so you can always return the product if you're allergic.)  I have extremely sensetive skin and suffer from a frustrating number of allergies, yet I have no reactions whatsoever to Proactiv.\n\nOnce your skin has cleared up with Proactiv, you won't need to use it as often, or you can reduce the quantity of the Proactiv products you use and just spot treat as needed.\n\nI can honestly say I've never met a person with poor results using Proactiv.\n\nBest wishes!

Your best bet is a dermatologist but if you can't afford it you can go to acne.org they have messageboards galore and a regimen that you can try.  They deal with everything about acne, scarring, piting etc.

When we discuss the problem ACNE, it is particularly inexhaustible topic and believe me I know what I am talking about,dear.The acne solution Solodyn has one active ingredient, which has shown over the years very positive results in curing or alleviating acne, namely the antibiotic Minocycline ( actually it is from the group of the tetracycline's as Doxicycline, Erythromicyne,etc). I ave no idea about the severity of acne you have, is it mild,cystic, but at any event the choice of the therapy should be administered by a dermatology st, because no creams over the counter help in this skin condition. Then another vital point is the healthy living and the specified diet, a balanced one, the intake of plenty of pure water ( if you drink at least 8 glasses a day you would observe great results),eating of raw veggies and fruits. There are so many factors that are causing aggravation of acne,especially the stress.Well, as to "Solodyn" it can either work well for you or not, that is the truth,for the sake of the personal response to the medication( to some people just Minocyclyne is not strong enough) and your dermatologyst prescribed you only topical solution without a medicine for the peroral intake? It's not wise, the best results are obtained when there is synchronized topical and internal treatment. If you ask me I would recommend you as one of the best choices Zynerit,which contains the antibiotic Erythromycin and Zink, it is proven the effect and this antibiotic works best among the others.\nI think I should stop writing, because as I said from the beginning it is inexhaustible theme. If you need contact me, I will help you with whatever I could.\nTake care.Do not feel down because of pimples, please..\nHave a great time!

If your problem is just a pimple, I would suggest putting benzoyl peroxide on it (Like Johnson & Johnson's Persa-Gel 10).  You just put a small dab on the pimple and it clears up pretty quickly.  You might also want to try putting toothpaste on your pimple (instead of the benzoyl peroxide), lots of beauty editors for magazines swear by it.

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.

1. You should use a chemical free skin cleanser every day. By cleaning your skin, you can help eliminate new blemishes from forming. Cleaning your skin every day is the best thing you can do to achieve healthy, acne free skin.\n\n2. Try to keep your hair and hands off of your face. Both your hair and hands contain dirt and oils that can clog your pores and let bacteria grow. While this is not a cure for acne, keeping your pores clear will be instrumental in clearing your acne.\n\n3. Drink lots of water, and eat a healthy diet. While there are no clear connections with acne to a person’s diet, your skin is the largest organ on your body and keeping your body healthy will naturally keep your skin healthy. \nDrinking lots of water will keep your skin hydrated while also flushing away toxins.\n\n4. Don’t pick at your acne! Picking at your acne causes an unnecessary transfer of oils that may cause deeper acne lesions that may lead to scarring. The best way is to get your acne under control using a natural acne treatment every morning and every night.\n\nThe above is the only natural way that completely cures acne.

Fellow 27/f here...I have a couple suggestions for you. I have struggle with this problem since my teen years and have literally tried everything!!  I finally went on Accutane at 18 and it was so horrible, but I stuck it out and it got rid of my acne, minus a break out here or there. At 26, my acne came back in Full force! I am determined never to harm my body with horrible drugs like I did when I was 18, so I am trying a more natural approach. \n\n1) Use hydrogen peroxide as an astringent after you wash your face. It will help kill off the bacteria on your face and eat away at some of that nasty stuff.\n2) I haven't tried this, but I read today that you could dab honey on a pimple and put a bandaid over it...overnight. Apparently, honey has something in it that produces hydrogen peroxide, so putting it on the pimple will basically release this stuff over night on your pimple. Interesting I thought!\n3) If you are looking for a great face line that will help you get that stuff cleared up, get rid of fine lines and other blotches in the skin, I know of a great one. So good in fact, that I signed up this month to be able to buy the products at wholesale, because they are that good. Probably on here, this comes across as a weird sales pitch, but I'm 100% honest when I say that this product line changed the way I looked at the cosmetics and health and beauty industry.\n\nDid you know that cosmetic products virtually aren't regulated at all? They can basically put whatever they want in the products, and they do. This includes animal byproducts...you said you eat organic foods, but what are you putting on your skin?  I just realized about a month ago, through research, that before I have taken 1 bite of food in the morning, I have put large quantities of dead animals on my skin. GROSS! So I made a switch.\n\nThe products I am talking about are by Arbonne International. You can look them up online. If you email me, I would love to give you more info and see if they might work for you too. I am not in this to make money, but I will "sell" you the products for the wholesale cost I get if you are interested in trying them. No pressure whatsoever, but it is worth looking in to. Best of luck.\n\n*******************************\nLisa, if you consider this "regulation" then you need to get your head checked.\n\n"Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act, cosmetics and their ingredients are not required to undergo approval before they are sold to the public. Generally, FDA regulates these products after they have been released to the marketplace. This means that manufacturers may use any ingredient or raw material, except for color additives and a few prohibited substances, to market a product without a government review or approval."\n\nThis is a DIRECT quote from the FDAs webpage. Source posted below. \n\nAs to having to go to a "Professional", I am and have been going to a dermatologist for years. NEVER to have my acne cleared up EXCEPT when on accutane. And if you read the testamonies AGAINST that, including my own, you will NEVER touch the stuff. My dermatologist, with all his medications, can't take care of my acne apparently...or doesn't want to, because it isn't in his best interest. Neither could the other 3 dermatologists I've been to in my life. So, I took it upon myself to research and research and research. I am providing what I have found...and miraculously, IT IS WORKING! So Lisa, keep you nose out of it, because obviously YOU haven't been through this. For all your KNOWLEDGE, you know nothing.\n\n*******************************\nI've also posted a link to a list of cosmetic "ingredients" that are or may be derived from animals. Now, you may not think too much about animal cruelty, or that may not be a huge factor for you, but think of it this way. Animals that are grown and bred for specific purposes are treated with antibiotics,

There are a lot of things that can help cure acne, but the few I rely on most are:\n-Drinking lots of water and tea...instead of soda or juice\n-Washing your face a lot\n-After making a cup of tea, take the used teabag and "wash" your face with it (I don't know if this actually does anything, but I keep hearing it does...and it doesn't hurt to try)\n-Put toothpaste on your zits

use tea tree oil. I used to have major breakouts but since I used tea tree oil every time I have a pimple. It dries it and doesn't leave a mark. But if your having major acne try going to a health store and ask if they have supplements to clear acne. It's expensive but worth it. But if you are on a budget you have to undergo a major diet and eliminate/minimize food that causes acne. And always drink lots of liquids (water and fresh juice) everyday for proper circulation

Dear, have you seen a really good dermatologist? I can understand you, because I am facing the same problem and I cam argue about the so advertised Proactive and other "magical" fast acne solutions. There are variety of other remedies, but they are complex and include not one aspect, you have to pay attention to your dietary regime ( eat as much raw food as you can), drink lots of pure water and herbal teas( a cup of Pu-Erh tea or a plain green tea are great). Cut the fat, sweet, red meat and emphasize on moderate usage of fish, chicken, yogurt ( but not milk), cereals ( the oats is great), especially red or orange colored veggies and fruits. Then you should pay attention to the mineral and Vitamin supplements, but not used recklessly. The main are Zinc, Selen, Magnesium, Vitamin A, E,C and Biotin. It is of vital importance what you intake, not what you put on your face only.\nAlways keep your face clean, and use a neutral facial gel or better special for acne-prone skin. Do not rub your face, never splash it with too warm water. If you have pimples, apply on them a solution including Erythromicin ( great working on acne) and Zinc. I would recommend you the French brand La Roche-Posay as the best up to my experience, namely Effaclar gel and Effaclar K cream.\nIf you have any further questions I would be happy to help you.\nHave a great day and feel fine!
