hydrogen peroxide is basically alchohal used to disinfect use that by rubbing it on your acne and in a week or so it should get better...cologne and perfume work too they have alcohal, so if you have any of that just rub it on there and it should get better\n\nhope this helps

NO, but I believe from personal experience and that of close friends and family memeber that acne is caused by an intollerance to certain foods.  The most common foods that you can have intollerances too are grains (anything with gluten) dairy, soy, artifical colors, artifical flavors and presevitives.  Try taking all of them out of you diet and see if it works but you have to do it for at least 30 days.  Then if it does slowly(until you have symptoms or for at least 30 days) add one at a time back in and then you'll know what it is.\n\np.s. It should go away quickly 3 days ago I had bad acne then I detoxed my body and its gone today.

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!)

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,

If your acne is persistant, it is most likely something internal. Oregano Oil is the stongest natural antibiotic, anti yeast, and anti fungal you can get and it is completly safe.  You can get it at most health food stores in gel caps and take it everday day.  In a couple weeks, you will see major improvements. I went to a Naturopathic doctor after trying everything and I have been taking it for a year and no breakouts since.  For daily washings, use a mild soap like Aveeno and keep the chemical products to minimum. Check out www.p-73.com if you want to order it online or just go to your local store.

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.\n\nFor me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.\n\nBottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.\nOh, by the way the site that helped me is:\nhttp://www.acne-treatment-medicine-1.info\n\nhttp://www.medical-research-study-directory.info/\nhttp://www.lasik-surgery-san-diego.info/\nhttp://www.san-diego-dentist.us\nhttp://www.san-diego-plastic-surgery-cosmetic-surgery-doctors.us/

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!! :)

To cure acne you must cure the gut (gastrointestinal tract).  Stress is well known to cause serious disruption of gut function (especially if you add a medical drug or two to the mix - e.g. antacids, antibiotics, or NSAIDs like Motrin, Advil or Aspirin).\n\nYour doctor is not likely educated on this issue, so you may need to educate yourself (or find a Certified Clinical Nutritionist [CCN], Chiropractor, Naturopathic Physician, or that rare Medical Doctor that is trained in nutrition).\n\nSherry Rogers, M.D. has written an excellent book on how to heal the gut (you do NOT have to have any 'stomach or bowel problems' to have gut problems - many people are asymptomatic at the gut level).  The book is called: "No More Heartburn".  Do not let the title mislead you, this book is about healing all kinds of gut problems, especially leaky gut syndrome and intestinal dysbiosis (the two likely factors in your acne).  The book is available at Amazon.com and I highly recommend it.\n\nI hope you find this helpful.  Best wishes and good luck.\n\nP.S.  Many of the acne drugs doctors like to use are virtually guaranteed to cause gut problems!  This may be why their use does not 'cure' your problem, but literally prolongs it!

Acne may be due to an improper mineral balance in your gut. If your gut is telling you to try Zinc, why not listen to it? Taking 50 mg's of Zinc each as a supplement could help with your acne. You might take a copper and calcium supplement as well. Avoid all dairy and wheat products. Avoid shampoo with SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE. Drink 6-8 glasses of distilled water. Change your table salt to sea salt. Stick with it and expect wonderful results.

Yes it helps in Acne control . Actually Vitamin A also helps the skin and mucous membranes function as a barrier to bacteria and viruses \n\n\nVitamin A is a group of compounds that play an important role in vision, bone growth, reproduction, cell division, and cell differentiation (in which a cell becomes part of the brain, muscle, lungs, blood, or other specialized tissue.) \n\n Vitamin A helps regulate the immune system, which helps prevent or fight off infections by making white blood cells that destroy harmful bacteria and viruses \n\nVitamin A also may help lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) fight infections more effectively.\n\nFood rich in Vitamin A are :\nliver \nsweet potatos \ncarrots \nmangoes \nspinach \ncantaloupe \ndried apricots \nmilk \negg yolks \nmozzarella cheese \n\nA word of caution: Too much vitamin A, either from animal sources or supplements, can prove toxic and is particularly dangerous during pregnancy
