YES! I have the solution. Tea Tree Oil. Use a cotton ball/pad and apply before bed. You can actually do this up to 3 times a day, but I don't find it necessary! I started to notice a difference the first day I tried. ** There is one downfall that I have found. Tea Tree Oil has a strong smell. It irritates my eyes for maybe 10 minutes, then it goes away. The irritation is WELL WORTH the results. \n\nI hope that you will at least give this a try. I've tried many things, and this is the first and only that I would recommend to others!

It is important to keep spot-prone areas clean, so wash the affected area twice a day with an unperfumed cleanser.1,6 The skin needs a certain amount of oil to maintain its natural condition, so avoid aggressive washing with strong soaps.\n\nThere are a number of over-the-counter remedies available from pharmacies to treat mild acne. These usually contain antibacterial agents such as benzoyl peroxide (eg Oxy and Clearasil Max).\n\nAs well as its antibacterial effects, benzoyl peroxide can dry out the skin and encourage it to shed the surface layer of dead skin. Together, these effects make it harder for pores to become blocked and for infection to develop.\n\nBenzoyl peroxide can cause redness and peeling, especially to start with. This tends to settle down if you reduce the number of times you use it. You can then build up your use gradually.7\n\nNo home treatments for acne will work immediately. It can take weeks, if not months, for significant effects to be noticeable. If home treatments have not worked after two months, or you have severe acne, you should visit your GP.7\nPrescription medicines\n\nYour GP may start your treatment by prescribing a preparation containing benzoyl peroxide. If this does not work, or if you have more severe acne, there are a range of other treatment options that you can either rub onto your skin (topical) or take in tablet form (oral).\nTopical treatments\n\nThere are several topical treatments you may be prescribed including those listed below:\n\n    * azelaic acid (Skinoren) is an alternative to benzoyl peroxide and may not make your skin as sore as benzoyl peroxide7\n    * topical retinoids (eg Adapalene) are medicines based on vitamin A, which are rubbed into the skin once or twice a day.7 They work by encouraging the outer layer of skin to flake off\n    * a topical antibiotic lotion applied to the skin can be used to control the P. acnes bacteria (eg Dalacin T). Treatment needs to continue for at least six months. Preparations that combine an antibiotic with other acne medication are available (eg Benzamycin which combines an antibiotic with benzoyl peroxide)7\n\nOral treatments\n\nThere are several oral treatments you may be prescribed including those listed below:\n\n    * oral antibiotics (tablets), such as tetracycline, can be prescribed for inflammatory acne. They should be taken daily for around three months, although it might take four to six months for the benefits to be seen.7 The success of this treatment can be limited because the strains of bacteria are often resistant to the common antibiotics. Antibiotics do not prevent pores from becoming blocked so treatment to prevent blackheads, such as benzoyl peroxide, is often also prescribed at the same time\n    * some types of oral contraceptive tablets help women who have acne. A combination of the usual pill hormone called ethinylestradiol with cyproterone acetate (eg Dianette) suppresses male hormone activity so is often used in women with acne4,7\n    * isotretinoin (eg Roaccutane) is a medicine known as an oral retinoid, which also exists in a topical form (see above). Isotretinoin works by drying up oily secretions. It tends to be prescribed to people with severe forms of acne that have proved resistant to other treatments. There a number of serious side-effects of this drug, such as liver disorders and depresssion.3,7 You should not take isotretinoin if you are pregnant, as it is very dangerous to an unborn baby.7 For safety reasons, isotretinoin is only prescribed under the supervision of dermatology specialists

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.

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

Some solutions that may help cure acne are already in your home.\n\n1. If a pimple appears, don't break it immediately.\n2. Before you go to bed, wash your face (liquid cleansers work the best and do not overdry your face).\n3. Pat dry.\n4. If you have any type of mint toothpaste, dab a little on your pimple.\n5. Cover the spot with a small band-aid.\n6. By morning, the swelling should go down and the redness should be almost gone.\n7. For extreme breakouts, there are many over the counter face cleansers. \n\n* All acne medications cause your skin to break out more than when you started because the cleansers are cleaning out your pores and bringing all the dirt and oil to the surface which in turn causes a massive break out. Give it about two weeks and you will notice a big difference in your skin.\n* Avoid eating lots of sugar as sugar causes outbreaks most of the time.\n* Drink lots of water. \n\n* Do not use too many different types of acne medication at the same time. It can cause more irritation and more acne than when you started.

Toothpaste is not suitable for all, plus there are soo many varieties available that you just don't know. I've been taking homeopathic treatment for acne. The doc says after 6 months of treatment the acne will go forever. Have been into it for 2 months already and it seems to work, coz now i am not getting any more new pimples. I also apply a face pack which works out just fine. It includes honey + few drops of lemon + grounded nutmeg. Apply it on the face for 20 mintes daily. \nAlso, keeping your head free of dandruff works. \n\nApplying lemon juice on the scars for 10 minutes daily also helps.\nDo not expect immediate returns. It will take some patience.\nAll the best.

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
