I had really bad acne in my teens but now when I tell people that they can't believe it. It's probably an annoying thing to say but look for a long term solution. \n\nI used Physohex which is heavily chemical and it cleared my acne up but it damaged my skin. I have since concentrated on eating a fairly healthy diet and washing my face twice a day with just a cheap, chemical free cleanser. Moisturising is good even if it makes you feel oily bc you are balancing the drying effects of cleansing.\n\nYou can massively change your skin but think 6 months rather than 6 hours - remember your skin regenerates totally new skin cells every 6-10 months so look after the next layer rather than the one you see in the mirror.

If this is just a little acne, there is no need to go spending a lot of money on Proactive or other expinceive products. What she needs to do is develop a habbit of good hygeian at an early age so the problom doesn't worson durring teen years. This will also teach her responcoblitly.\n\nPimples are a scourge. They come suddenly during the night attacking us in our sleep. Sometimes during the middle of the day they will come they come and you don't know until you have said good afternoon to an office full of people. You go in the bathroom and see it and you think to yourself I can't believe I was out in the public looking like this. Not anymore. Mother Nature is on your side. For every chemical there is a natural that is it's equal. Of course the natural way takes a little time, but usually it is cheaper and better for you. \n\nLemons, tomatoes and witch hazel are all proven to fight and keep acne at bay. Lemons and tomatoes are both fruits, yes fruits, with a second quality not known to all humankind. What you want to do is cut it open. Cutting it in fours goes a long way. Take each piece of lemon or tomato and rub it on your face. You may have a little something left on your face. Just leave it there. It's for your own good. They will make pimples disappear almost overnight. It they don't disappear they will be smaller the next time you check. Lemon is also good for removing scars. That means any pimples you popped in angst that left a scar will go away over time. Lemon contains acid so it's like having an acid peel thing going, but not. Your skin will be so clear you can set that makeup aside for special occasions. \n\nAnother thing that works is keeping your face wiped off. You don't really need soap. All you want is for your pores to stay closed. How you say. Water. Yes, water. Bottled or tap water. All it has to be is cold. Wet a face rag with cold water. I hate to have cold anything on me, but I hear pain is beauty. Wipe your face with a cold wet rag everyday before setting out for the day. Wipe it again went you get in and once more before bed. Your pores will stay closed. You will keep the irritation of the skin on your face down and it should be pretty clear. Also try to remember to keep your hands out of your face. Your fingertips and nails hold a lot of germs and touch a lot of dirt. Putting them in your face increases the chance of irritation thus creating those hideous pimples. \n\nWitch Hazel is a natural way to clear ones face, too. It is an astringent. Yes, an astringent, just like the other products claim to contain. Witch Hazel is also cold almost anywhere you store it so it's like using water only it pulls impurities up out of your skin. Your will apply this anywhere from two to three times a day. Before bed is really good. As you sleep your body goes through a lot of things I am not scientifically equipped to elaborate on or prove. I just notice that if you do your beauty regimens at night and go to bed when you wake up in the morning you should be very pleased with the results when you wake up in the morning. And it is very cheap because almost not one buys it. Hurry up before they figure it out! \n\n\n~Hope this helps! and good luck with your daughter

i'm 23 years old and for the past 6 years, i have just been buying different stuff everytime it runs out. i have yet to find a "perfect" treatment. pro-activ did NOT work for me. biore stuff is HORRIBLE, like the blackhead scrub.... was like 7 bucks and it made them worse, for me and my sister. i used that ike 3 times and threw it away.\n\nwhat works for me at the moment:\n*clearisil ultra: the tinted cream. the tinted cream kind of covers everything up with a thin layer so it kind of acts like a foundation but it's strong enough to fight zits. careful though because it will bleach fabric! i put it on my face whenever, but when i put it on my back i only do it at night and with a crappy shirt on.\n*pure zone moisturizer by loreal: i just discovered this. it has the same kind of stuff as the clean and clear dual action moisturizer, but this works better for me and fights the hard undergrounder zits.\n*if you are in junior high or highschool you probably have greasy skin and small little zits. when i had those i found that oxy10 cleansing pads worked great. they have a scrubbing texture and an astringent with the zit medicine that will dry the zits up super fast!\nbest of luck!

proactive is good, but expensive. just find a nice cleanser that is oil free and uses 2% sacylic acid to treat acne. be sure to wash every day and use an acne treatment gel.  hope that helps

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.

Actually there are tons of products - just find one that works good for you proactive, acne pads or whatever works.  \n\nActually, a trick I've used for a while is that after I clean my face, (if I have a zit), I'll put \na little toothpaste on it.  I'll keep it there overnight, and in the morning it dries it out.  It works really good!  I don't think popping them is the greatest idea, because sometimes those things aren't ready to come out, and it can cause scarring (like little pock marks).  So try out a few remedies and see which one works best for you.\n\nGood luck!

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.
