OK, well for the past year or two I've had this really bad acne on my forehead, and I've always used this wonderful stuff which helps it, but it takes forever. Meanwhile, it's so red and iccky-looking that I started using concealor (best thing in the world, i tell ya) but instead of my acne getting better, it's just staying the same and getting worse slowly.Will my concealor make my acne worse?
It might make it more oily, only use something that isn't oily. Just go to Wal Mart and get an Acne Free kit that is the same thing as Pro Active for acne, it is the greatest and you will be glad you did. I got it for my daughter I started out ordering the high priced Pro Active and then heard about the Acne Free and it has been so good.===Will my concealor make my acne worse?
I used to do that but I also realized after a while it made my acne worse. Use acne medicine everyday, especially after doing any physical activites (you are most sweaty then). As for the concealer, perhaps use the tinted moisturizer which is basically a foundation and moisturizer mixed into one. However, I would strongly stress to avoid any make up during this period.
yes,it will clog your pours
tootles
change your shampoo...its causing the acnes. and yes, the concealer is making it worse...
What you should do is look for a concealer that doesnt have that much oil in it, and has water, it really helps not prevent acne, but most likely the concealor your using has oil, I had that problem for a LONG time! Hope It helps!
maybe you could try covergirl, that have a new thing out that works for me

Do acne products make your acne scars worse?
I am taking acnefree and my acne scars have become darker. Should i stop using it?Do acne products make your acne scars worse?
yeah.Do acne products make your acne scars worse?
no, they'll fade in time
I promise [=
Try the neutragena acne mark fading peel face-mask thing. It works on acne scars. But no, acne products don't make the scars worse, but they might be drying out your skin so the skin is redder and looks a little worse.oil companies

Bad acne..?
i have super bad acne all over my face its gross like not 1 or 6 its more like 20 with black heads how can i get rid of themBad acne..?
get a face wash that contains bensol peroxide. works wonders. make sure to follow the directions on the bottle to the TEE, and USE SUNSCREEN. Sun DOES NOT help acne, it can make it worse. It causes your skin to shed dead skin cells and to produce oil, which is the #1 cause of acne.
As for accutane, I wouldn't use it at your age, it's a very very harsh medication, and can really hurt you, health wise.
follow up with your doctor or dermatologist, and tell them that whatever it was they did before wasn't working and you need prescription strength meds or cleansers and such. ;)
Good luck, hon!!Bad acne..?
Check out acne.org, it's a great support site with lots of remedies and reviews of products. Similar people dealing with the same issues.
Dan the owner of the site has a regime that may work for you, If not there are plenty of acne sufferers going through similar experiences. They can guide you. There are even picture galleries with before and after pics.
Try these home remedies:
鈥?Mix 1 teaspoon lemon juice with 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder. Apply this paste on the pimples and wash it after 20 minutes with warm water. Repeat for two weeks.
鈥?Use aloe vera juice on the pimples morning and night for as long as necessary (perhaps five months or longer).
鈥?Make orange peel paste by grinding it in some water. Apply on and around pimples.
鈥?Rub garlic on and around pimples.
鈥?Apply fresh mint juice over the face every night for the treatment of pimples.
In addition, there are some recommendations for eliminating acne for good:
鈥?Clean gently the skin once or twice daily with an antiseptic soap or a soap compounded of sulfur. This reduces the germ count and prevents the bacterial colonization in deeper pores.
鈥?Limit the use of makeup and moisturizers and avoid of oil-based brands altogether
鈥?Sun and air baths by exposing the whole body to sun and air are highly beneficial.
鈥?Shampoo the oily hair often and keep away from the face.
鈥?Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. The oats and wheat bran, beans, fruits and vegetables should be increased in the diet.

How can I get rid of bad acne?
I have honestly tried everything over the counter from proactiv to clean and clear. I am 15 almost 16 in a month and I have even tried natural home made remedies that are supposed to flush the toxins out of my body because they say the root of the problem sometimes is internal and antibiotics only treat the outer layer of the skin.
Its getting to a point where I am just so depressed because of this skin condition. Its eating away at me and I am socially isolating myself. I can't even make eye contact with people anymore and whenever I see someone I know in public I tend to turn my head because I am just so ashamed by my appearance.
I will sit inside for hours on end researching things that can help my acne but nothing works. I have stopped wearing make up because its summer now and I don't really have to go out in public, but I doubt that will make much of a difference. My face, back, and chest are covered in pimples and I have cysts and nodules.
I am so jealous of people with clear skin. I know people who have perfect skin and they don't even take care of themselves and they skip showers and some people even smoke and drink. Meanwhile I take two showers everyday and wash my face regularly and its just making me so upset and I will stand infront of the mirror and just cry.
Does anyone know anything that will ACTUALLY work? :(How can I get rid of bad acne?
I actually went to the doctor because my skin was so bad. Just my regular doctor, not a special skin doctor. He gave me a product and my face cleared up within a matter of weeks. Your doctor, if you go, may even prescribe you a low dose of birth control. Not for eliminating pregnancies, the dose would be so low, it wouldn't even help for that. What it would do is level out your hormones which can cause pimples.
You can go to a doctor, or just keep using the facial cleansers you've been using, but overall, just be patient You will not see results overnight, just keep washing your face morning and night.
As for it on your back and chest, wash it with regular soap in the shower. And only shower once a day. The 2 showers a day are actually really bad for your skin, and will only make it worse. And, just like on your face, it will take a while for the pimples to go away. Be patient, and good luck.How can I get rid of bad acne?
Well, what usually works for me is the basic routine. After opening your pores with a hot shower, apply the acne medicine. Let it sit for a moment, and then rinse it off with cold water. Dry your face off and repeat on a daily basis. Your face should be cleared up in 1 to 2 weeks.
i have the same problem. i went to a dermatologist and they gave me medicine and a special soap and face cream to use and it really works. you should see a dermatologist. hope that helped! %26amp; good luck!
I've been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne/pimples temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it's at.
I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life.
I'm 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy.
Literally the best acne face wash I've ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It's unique cause of it's herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem dot com at the time which was helpful.
You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn't work it will still save you butt on the return policy.
Well good luck and best wishes.

I have acne its not terrible but its bad...i wanna clear up my skin alot before friday!?
I want to clear up my skin alot before friday (4 days) i have a school festival and there are gonna be a ton of people i havent seen forever and this one guy i really like! any good suggestions on what to do? meaning HOME REMIDIES...cause im a teenager i dont have money to go by stuff.
iI have acne its not terrible but its bad...i wanna clear up my skin alot before friday!?
boil a pan of water and get a towel, put your head over top of the pan after it cools for like 3 min. and then put the towel over your head stay there for about 5 min. and then hurry up and wash your face with an acne cream. I use Acne free you can get it at wal mart really cheap its the same thing as ProActive but you dont have to order it hope that helpsI have acne its not terrible but its bad...i wanna clear up my skin alot before friday!?
You may need to invest in a toner with salicylic acid in it, its the best stuff for clearing up skin problems and is inexpensive. My 15 year old had bad skin and started using a toner with salicylic acid in it within a few days it had cleared up. I dont agree with constantly washing your face as you tend to stimulate the subaceous glands which causes more oil and more breakouts which is what you dont want.
i no the perfect product for that. its clearasil ultra. it will clear up wour skin and keep it healthy as long as you use it reugularly. clean your face with it twice a day! it helped me. my acne wasnt particularly bad. it was just like yours and using clearasil ultra is a quick easy way to get rid of teh zits and pimples. good luck!
Steaming your face is sooo awesome it fells great and really helps open your pores! Stacy has the right idea!! You can put stuff in the water too!! Try peppermint!! Peppermint is a natural Anti-inflammatory that will really help!! After steaming your face make sure you wash it!!
yah you cant really control your acne and whether it clears up, stays or worsen just make sure you keep your face really clean, wash it 3 times a day and dont wear makeup for the week.
Soap and WATERRR!
go tanning or get a really dark rub on tan

1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn鈥檛 use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured鈥f we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don鈥檛 want us to know.

the clearasil ultra acne pads work really well! also what helped me was washing my face and drinking lots of water and cutting back on greasy foods...My acne is getting bad. what product really works?
Neutrogen Acne Stress Control Face Wash works really well. I barely get break outs any more, but really it depends on what works on your skin. ProActiv works better on some people than on others so you could always try that too. My skin dried out when I used it so I stopped, but yours might be fine. Stick with a routine for at least four weeks (eight is better) to really see if it works out for you. It takes that long for skin to adjust to a new routine, and if you keep changing than your skin won't get better. Hope this is helpful!My acne is getting bad. what product really works?
if you want something form a drugstore buy clean and clear control cleanser with the clean and clear advantage oil-free moisturizer. if you have oily skin use both in the morning and at night. if you have combination or dry skin use only at night and apply the moisturizer in the morning. dont use bad makeup! for oily skin use powder. liquid foundation and oily skin just dont work well together. an awesome powder is physicians formula mineral loose powder. it soaks up unwanted oil and helps sensitive and acne prone skin. but the last thing you want to do is put loose powder on dry skin. dry skin needs to be hydrated throughout the day. use physicians formula mineral liquid makeup. it also helps sensitive and acne prone skin. another thing you can do with any kind of skin type is go with all natural cleansers. try zyporex, its all natural and just for acne. it gives you a really clean feeling. natural can be the best thing because it doesnt contain harsh chemicals that can irritate your face rather than help.

If u had acne, is it bad to be against talking to most girls with acne? (especially dating)?
well i ha some so every time i look at a girl who has it, it reminds me of myself and how i felt... i know it's horrible to say but it just makes me feel awkward... the only girl i thought was kinda hot was one with most of it on the forehead and she was pretty slutty.. it wasprolly herpes... anyways yeah how can i get over this stigma?If u had acne, is it bad to be against talking to most girls with acne? (especially dating)?
It's not exactly something the girl asks for!
I'm on multiple prescriptions for acne and I still have a few blemishes. I know I would feel horrible if a guy turned me down for that, especially if he has a little, too. It sounds a little hypocritical!
Maybe focus more on the great things about her, like what makes her beautiful instead of the bad things.If u had acne, is it bad to be against talking to most girls with acne? (especially dating)?
You know you are being a hypocrite. No one (male or female) wants to have acne. But a lot of teenagers get it anyway. It's temporary, and it has nothing to do with your sex life. There is no STD that makes you break out with acne. No such thing as ';forehead herpes';.
It's not exactly something the girl asks for!

Can lifting weights cause my acne to get worse?
im a 16 year old guy and when i lift weights it seems like i get more break outs maybe its just a coinsidence but i dont know.Can lifting weights cause my acne to get worse?
yes. because you sweat more and your face gets more oil...so just make sure you shower well and wash your face after you work out. =)Can lifting weights cause my acne to get worse?
It's probably because the sweat clogs the pores.
I would suggest washing your face with some plain soap BEFORE you work out (like Ivory that sutff is great)
And AFTER you work out with something from clean%26amp;clear or the same thing.
Also before you wash your face wash your hands!
Hope I heleped!
this could happen because when you are lifting weights you are creating sweat. The sweat is making your skin oily especially on your face. Then when you dont wash your face the sweat and oil and dirt makes you brake out in fits of black-heads.
Everyone is more prone to breakouts when they exercise, anytime you sweat it clogs your pores and that is what causes breakouts.
The best thing to do would be to wash your face right after you work out to try to prevent it from happening.
You may break out because you sweat and your pores get clogged up. Be sure to shower after you work out and drink lots of water. Working out helps your blood flow which is always good.
Yep, it is because of your sweat! Try wiping your face off with water/a towel every 10 min. or so. It will keep the oil off of your face.
My brother had the same problem... he started taking a shower both before and RIGHT after working out and they lessened.

Sometimes, washing your face is enough to get rid of those. You need to detoxify yourself. Try to buy Gluthathione/Methathione in your drugstores. Take it for 3 months it's good for the body and skin. If you can avoid meat and go for veggies and fruits go for it, cos you need to clean yourself internally. Then don't forget to wash your face, maximum of twice a day with Clearasil. If you wish to apply toner, sure you can do that.How do you get rid of bad acne?
Some doctors prescribe antibiotics.
Drink lots of water. Once or twice a month take a blood or liver purifier like Milk Thistle (3 capsules 3 times a day for 5 days) Wash your face with black soap or another anti-bacterial cleanser. Alternate morning and evening with two different types of acne cream one with benzol peroxide and one with salicylic acid. (I like Neutrogena Multi-Vitamin Acne Treatment.)
Bad acne? I used to think that I had bad acne as a teen-ager. After my teen years it went away on it's own. I know, it sucks having it as a teenager. It was never as bad as I thought it was.
Most over-the-counter crap doesn't work unless it has something with ';ox...'; Squeezing makes it worse. I have read that your diet makes some difference.
If anyone tells you that you can get rid of it, they are scamming you. If it really bugs you, ask your parents if you can see a doctor who can recommend a program of diet and vitamins.
The main reason you have zits is because hormones have outraced your growth rate and things are temporarily unbalanced. It will go away.....believe me.
Consult a dermatologist.
wash your face twice a day. It is simple, you need to be clean to look clean.
I got rid of mine with a dermatoligist. He gave me Vitamin B-12 shots and ultra violet light treatments. But you keep doing it to maintain good looking skin, at least for a while.

How can I get rid of bad acne?
I have really bad acne, and I go to a dermatologist, and that hasn't done anything, and I've tried just about everything. helpHow can I get rid of bad acne?
Hey, I feel you. I use to have very bad acne too. I am not sure what you mean by bad but I use to have it all over my face mostly on my forehead and cheeks, sometimes on my nose. I even had it on my back and also on my chest.
I have changed my diet completely and got a full body detox (yes toxins is the main root of acne, it's toxins that cause hormonal imbalance) and I've been acne free since then. You can try the method if you like http://morereviewz.googlepages.com/acnef鈥?/a>
Also drinking lots of water will help, and try to not to stress too much.
Good LuckHow can I get rid of bad acne?
Unfortunately, acne or pimples are in your DNA. You are born with good or bad acne. There is no product that can get rid of acne. The only thing that really works is Accutane. It is a prescription medicine and it is serious stuff. It is a pill form and you take it for 6 months. The side effects are bad but in the end it is worth it.
Another option(if you are a girl) is to go on birth control. It regulates your hormones and you wont get pimples.
Ask your dermatologist about accutane. Doctors only prescribe the medicine if you have REALLY bad acne.
I've been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne/pimples temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it's at.
I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life.
I'm 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy.
Literally the best acne face wash I've ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It's unique cause of it's herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem.com at the time which was helpful.
You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn't work it will still save you butt on the return policy.
Well good luck and best wishes.
how old are you? 99.99% of acne disappears after your body is done maturing - around 18 years of age for most people, as much as 25 for others. It also depends on how much hormones are being produced (testosterone in men and estrogen in women).
You can wait it out, you can try diet: no sugar, no salt, no processed foods
I have been using proactive products and it has helped a lot. I also recommend oil blotter sheets from proactive. These sheets remove oil from the skin. Using these sheets is a a better alternative to constantly washing your face, which can actually make acne worse. Also, avoid touching your face too much.
Proactive uses chemicals that are harmful to the skin. Don't use it.
1. Urine
2. Cleaning out your body (Detox all toxins)
3. Lower stress or anger
4. Believe that it will go away
5. Stop paying attention to it
honestly i have proactive and i hate it. it has cymicals n it that makes it go away but u have 2 keep useing it cause when u stop it comes back worse then u started. i wash my face @ least twice a day with irish springs soap. i try 2 wash my face after i'm out side n the summer 2 get the sweat off, or after i go 2 the gym. also my sister steams her face, i know it sounds funny but it does work. wash ur face w/ soap then fill a bowl w/ hot water, get a hand towel and put it over the back of ur head as ur leaned over the bowl for like 2-3min.s this opends up ur pours and lets them breath. i hope this was helpful!!
YOu get oil free acne wash. Hot wash clothe. Wash were ever ur acne is, then put the oil free acne wash on the clothe and scrub it on ur place were ur acne is, then rinse is with hot water. Then do it with cold water to close ur pores. And then you will pat it dry.
Try this simple remedy. Wash your face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave your face oil free without aggravating the pimples like soap. The secret of keeping the skin clear is to keep it oil-free and clean. More such solutions at http://solutionsforpimples.blogspot.com/
i honestly am still growing and i have small but lots of acne i have it in huge areas and cant get it off!
1) there was a old saying put tooth past it!!
2)clean your face with soap and water daily
3)try ALL NATURAL products
:) hope i helped!!!
My dermatologist visit did nothing for me, too. Just try to use a facial cleanser and clean off all makeup after coming home. When you sweat, take a shower right away to prevent the clogging of pores.
i had terrible acne then i tried clean and clear wakeup refreshing face cleanser stuff and within two days of using it all my pimples were gone
and i had acne rly rly bad!
hope this helps!

Can lifting weights cause my acne to get worse?
im a 16 year old guy and when i lift weights it seems like i get more break outs maybe its just a coinsidence but i dont know.Can lifting weights cause my acne to get worse?
yes. because you sweat more and your face gets more oil...so just make sure you shower well and wash your face after you work out. =)Can lifting weights cause my acne to get worse?
It's probably because the sweat clogs the pores.
I would suggest washing your face with some plain soap BEFORE you work out (like Ivory that sutff is great)
And AFTER you work out with something from clean%26amp;clear or the same thing.
Also before you wash your face wash your hands!
Hope I heleped!
this could happen because when you are lifting weights you are creating sweat. The sweat is making your skin oily especially on your face. Then when you dont wash your face the sweat and oil and dirt makes you brake out in fits of black-heads.
Everyone is more prone to breakouts when they exercise, anytime you sweat it clogs your pores and that is what causes breakouts.
The best thing to do would be to wash your face right after you work out to try to prevent it from happening.
You may break out because you sweat and your pores get clogged up. Be sure to shower after you work out and drink lots of water. Working out helps your blood flow which is always good.
Yep, it is because of your sweat! Try wiping your face off with water/a towel every 10 min. or so. It will keep the oil off of your face.

How do i get rid of acne fast? i hate it so bad! HELP!!!!?
I finally have clear skin..... for now. then i alwayssee a new one come up. it is never ending. i try to use cover up but it just makes it so much worse! HELP!!!!!!How do i get rid of acne fast? i hate it so bad! HELP!!!!?
Hard question to answer with so little information. If your acne is really severe, then I suggest seeing a dermatologist. As a quick fix, I would invest in a high quality sacilyc acid treatment such as Clinique Acne Solutions. I would also make sure that you wash and exfoliate morning and night. If you wear makeup I would make sure that you use non-codemogenic products. These don't clog pores. Make sure that you change your pillow case regularly (facial oils make your pillow dirty and contribute to future breakouts.) Then take a look at your diet. Do you eat a lot of junk food. The skin is an organ and like every other part of our body, junk in = junk out. So eat lots of fruits and veggies, healthy fats, lean meats and dairy, etc. Hope that helps!How do i get rid of acne fast? i hate it so bad! HELP!!!!?
go see a dermatologist. there are many medications that can help.
Do NOT use cover up- it makes it worse every time. No oilly make up either. Use noxzema, clearisil, or some other cleansing pad that has at least 2% salicylic acid. If you have fair skin, get outside and get some freckles. That's better than any cover up. If you have to use greasy makeup, get neutrogena tinted spf makeup. good luck ; )
to get the redness out for the day put a slice of potato (seriously it helps)over it for about 5 minutes then that night
wash your face with an antibacterial face cleanser and then mix a lemon juice with baking soda to make a thick paste and put it on the zit over night, by morning it should be dried up .....
acne is lack of the skin exfoliating itself quickly enough.
use ProActive. best prices are on QVC.
dont use so much cover up the stuff in it will make it worse sooner or later... trust me im having the same problem and wat i do supprisingly that help me is three times a day i clean my face with hydrogen peroxde first then i use witch hazel....... and if u ever get a pimple or zit that is pretty bug then before you go to bed put some stong toothpaste over it like colgate and let it sit overnight i cant garentee that it will be gone in the morning but it will make the swelling go down
Go to the doctors and get a cream
I hear Proactive works very well... it has helped family members and friends of mine
I'm 32, and I've tried everything on the market. The only product that I've found that truly works is Proactiv. But you have to use it everyday. When you buy your first kit they give you a complementary refining mask that reduces the appearance of acne scars. Trust me. I hope you try it. You'll love it-You can buy it online, by phone(when you see it on t.v.), magazine, or sometimes you can find it in the mall.
I can totally relate with you. I used to have acne all over my cheeks, and let me tell you it was SEVERE. I went to the dermatologist, and she prescribed me a face wash containing bleach. It didn't work and left me with an uneven skintone. Then, she prescribed a topical prescription called Retin-a-Micro, which worked for a while but soon the acne became prone to it.
Finally, she prescribed Accuntane, a very powerful oral prescription that worked very well for me for at least one year. During that year I did not have one single breakout, and it allowed my acne to heal as well as my scars.
Now, a couple years later, it has worn off of course, but I still have clear skin with no trace of scars. My secret? Proactiv. Despite the annoying ads and promotional gimmicks, it is actually a very respectable product that works. I really recommend it for uncontrollable acne.
A few other things are: drink a lot of water, try not to stress too much, tea tree oil, and non greasy/oil-free moisturizers.
Good luck! :D
best to see a doctor or a dermatologist (skin doctor) when you have bad zits. In the meantime, wash your hands with soap whenever you wash your hands, try NEVER to touch your face with your fingertips as this just puts germs on your face that can make it break out worse.
Use Aveeno bar soap (less than $4.00) to clean your face. When you use moisturizers, avoid oil based products and instead use water based. Good luck.
Proactive really does work....
if you need a quick fix for redness....use Visene eye drops on it...it will get the red out for a little while (no joke, really does work)
aloe vera is good for that
use a cleanser everyday when your use make-up, if no make-up, then every other day. i figured out that using a cleanser secifically for acne helps keep it away, even when i dont have acne. i also heard washing your face with a BAR of dove soap everyday works to. my friend at camp did that and she had MUCH clearer skin.

When you buy your first kit they give you a complementary refining mask that reduces the appearance of acne scars. Trust me. I hope you try it. You'll love it-You can buy it online, by phone(when you see it on t.v.), magazine, or sometimes you can find it in the mall.
I can totally relate with you. I used to have acne all over my cheeks, and let me tell you it was SEVERE. I went to the dermatologist, and she prescribed me a face wash containing bleach. It didn't work and left me with an uneven skintone. Then, she prescribed a topical prescription called Retin-a-Micro, which worked for a while but soon the acne became prone to it.
Finally, she prescribed Accuntane, a very powerful oral prescription that worked very well for me for at least one year. During that year I did not have one single breakout, and it allowed my acne to heal as well as my scars.
Now, a couple years later, it has worn off of course, but I still have clear skin with no trace of scars. My secret? Proactiv. Despite the annoying ads and promotional gimmicks, it is actually a very respectable product that works. I really recommend it for uncontrollable acne.
A few other things are: drink a lot of water, try not to stress too much, tea tree oil, and non greasy/oil-free moisturizers.
Good luck! :D
best to see a doctor or a dermatologist (skin doctor) when you have bad zits. In the meantime, wash your hands with soap whenever you wash your hands, try NEVER to touch your face with your fingertips as this just puts germs on your face that can make it break out worse.
Use Aveeno bar soap (less than $4.00) to clean your face. When you use moisturizers, avoid oil based products and instead use water based. Good luck.
Proactive really does work....
if you need a quick fix for redness....use Visene eye drops on it...it will get the red out for a little while (no joke, really does work)
aloe vera is good for that
use a cleanser everyday when your use make-up, if no make-up, then every other day. i figured out that using a cleanser secifically for acne helps keep it away, even when i dont have acne. i also heard washing your face with a BAR of dove soap everyday works to. my friend at camp did that and she had MUCH clearer skin.
I am 6 weeks pregnant and my acne is getting really bad since I can not use any of my acne medications now.?
My derm had me stop everything but Erythromycin topical gel about 2 months before conceiving. I am getting cystic acne. Does anyone know if I can use salicylic acid or sulfur based products while pregnant. My derm told me not to use benzoyl per oxide or retinols. She okyed glycolic acid though. I tried using the DDF glycolic cleaser and toner and that really dried me out. Also, is it ok to use hair bleaching cream to lighten the facial hair. I used to use Jolen, but I am afraid to use it now.
Thanks in advance for answering my long question.I am 6 weeks pregnant and my acne is getting really bad since I can not use any of my acne medications now.?
I've been using this stuff called Acne Free I got it at walmart. It is a bezoyl and I havent had any problemsI am 6 weeks pregnant and my acne is getting really bad since I can not use any of my acne medications now.?
try to use a topical solution and make sure you keep a healthy diet.
Facial bleaching, I would say no because it's the same as bleaching your hair, and youd not supposed to. As to acne treatment my OB recommended benzoyl peroxide products....so I used nutrigena acne scrub (orange bottle and it is about 5 dollars) and then the same thing in a face lotion (costs about 8). It works GREAT for me! I only get acne during pregnancy though. Have you talked to your OB about it? Maybe your derm. is being a little over protective and not really researching. Remember, they are experts in skin, not pregnancy. Good Luck though!
Don't use salicylic acid! I'm so glad you asked about this one before using it. It is a salicylate...these include aspirin and pepto bysmol and all of them are very bad for your baby. You might want to consider finding a clay based soap to use for your face. It will feel like you are really drying out your face, but the clay is drawing oil, dirt and general face gunk out our your pores. I use one during particularly broken out times...it works great! Good luck.
use clean and clear its pretty good my acne always get bad when i get preg
Salicylic acid is ok, but avoid really strong formulations. Try showering in the evening rather than in the morning. It makes a big difference in my skin.
Don't use hair bleaching creme.
talk to your obgyn. mine was fine with benzoyl peroxide, but told me salicylic acid was not okay. i had very bad acne during my pregnancy, nothing helped. try drinking lots of water that helped me at least a little. if it doesn't get better though, don't worry. pregnant women are gorgeous acne or no acne!

It depends. If you have sensitive skin then your acne may become worse, and you may get a rash on your face. And there are some lotions you can find that say WON'T CLOG PORES. Just be careful to read the back. :]If i put a self tanner on my face will it clog my pores? or give me even worse acne?
OMG. YES. I put a self tanner on my face and my skin was horrible after! I started to break out. To me, when something feels cakey on my face - I know it's clogging my pores. But that's just me. It depends what your skin type is. I have a sensitive oily skin base. To see what your skin type is... wet your face with a wash cloth with warm water. Wait 10 minutes. Is your skin dry after washing it? If it is - you have dry skin. Is your skin still normal? You have oily skin. Is your skin in between? You have normal skin, also known as combination skin.

I, myself, lost weight and have acne scars. My scars didn't look worse when I lost weight.
There are a lot of available acne scar removal lotions on the net or in stores. You should also exfoliate your skin for at least 2x a week ( you can also buy a microdermabrasion treatment). But if you can afford, consult a dermatologist, he/she might consider chemical peeling.Will losing weight make acne scars worse?

If I stop proactive will my acne get worse?
Hey! I hate proactive if I stop using it will my acne get worse?If I stop proactive will my acne get worse?
It may get better if you stop using Proactive.
People make all kinds of suggestions about the best thing to do to cure acne. Some cures I’ve heard include putting oatmeal, honey, lemon juice, tea tree oil, cucumber, vinegar, or toothpaste on your face. Practically every cosmetics company and company that makes personal care products makes something that is a “sure cure” for acne. If we think about this, and use some common sense, we have to come to the conclusion that there is no quick or easy cure for acne, because if there was it would be well known and doctors would be telling everyone about it.
Numerous companies make a lot of money persuading people to buy products that at worst will make the acne worse, and at best may help some people a little. Often fewer products are better. People often make their acne much worse by using too many products. There really is no quick fix for acne. Don’t spend a lot of money on products just because their ads say that they will cure acne. Your doctor is the best person to ask for help, and he or she may recommend some prescription medication or non-prescription treatment that may be suitable for you..
There are some very simple and basic things you can do that cost nothing. Keep your face or any other area affected by acne very clean. Any mild antibacterial soap will help with that. Rinse the area well to remove all soap residue. Drink plenty of water – it really does help to clear up acne. Eat a nutritious diet and get enough sleep. A healthy life style will make a difference. Try to reduce the stress in your life – stress contributes to acne, so also probably the more you worry about the acne and focus on it, the worse it will be.
Probably the most useful and effective things you can do are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer.
Here are a few informative links with additional ideas about preventing and treating acne.

If I stop proactive will my acne get worse?
I am a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.
After 12 years in this profession I find that most of my patients who deal with acne or brekout problems DO NOT SEE RESULTS from commercial products sold at drung stores or the mall. They usually contain too much benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or sulfur which tends to OVER DRY the skin and cause itching or irritations.
Also, home remedies such as lemon juice or alcohol or toothpaste SHOULD NEVER BE USED because they cause small tears in the skin and leave the skin more susceptible to bacteria that causes pimples or acne.
Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I will explain why it's a broad question!
Your age plays a role! Do you always have breakouts?
However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.
Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.
However, using make-up sponges that are not changed or washed often can contaminate the pores with bacteria which may develop into acneic breakouts.
Teenagers going through hormonal and growth changes are prone to acne.
If you have severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are many factors.
The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.
The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples' needs.
Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?
Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:
www.aboutyourskincare.com
You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.
Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.
They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that's great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it's gone. It's truely magic in a bottle.
A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you're a young girl you will need fewer products than this):
Night time:
1. Exfoliate the skin
2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser
3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).
4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts
5. Moisturizer
Morning:
1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser
2. Moisturizing cream
The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com

if it didn't help your acne then you should definately switch. i don't think it will make ur acne worse than it is now if proactiv doesn't work. switch to neutrogena, its very gentle and it works. good luck
I don't think I've ever heard from any proactiv users that when they stop it didn't come back. As soon as you stop using typically it'll come straight back.
Just switch to a different product, such as Neutrogena :)
just use a mild acne cleanser.
It may, mine did.eye look

how can i get the redness out of the zit!

Ok the best ones I've used are Proactiv and, if you really have the money, Murad's Acne Complex Kit which is $65, but lasts you a while. There is also a starter kit that is only $36 and lasts you 4 weeks. I'll link them for you below :)
The worst acne products out there are imitations of Proactiv, such as the one by Neutrogena or AcneFree. They will just dry your face out and make you break out worse.
I would really go with the starter kit by Murad. Its natural and great for if you just have mild acne. If you have worse acne, get the Proactiv.
Hope I've helped! :)

it depends on the girl. but r u taking care of yourself, like washing your face everyday? cuz then u probably wont have to worry about it too much. but hey, if ya want a nice girl thats not all snotty and perfect, i'd say shes probably not going to mind that much. why bother? it's acne. lots of people get acne. people that dont are pretty darn lucky. the only thing i might think is that you were a little lazy with the washin...What do girls think about acne scars, and how bad is too bad?
I think you're in your teens.
Yes, it's terrible to have acne scars and you get
so self conscious about it.
Girls generally like guys who have good skin.
But make up for it with your personality and confidence
in yourself. Who wants to steady with male models who have zero humor and flat, egotistical personality problems?
Your skin will adjust to the body hormones as you get older and by then, girls learn that appearances are only outlying
packages that cover what's truly valuable inside.
On the other hand, if you still have massive breakouts,
go see a skin care specialist. They will take out the
black and whiteheads and gently condition your skin with
crystal dermabrasion so that you get less acne and regain healthy skin eventually. Cosmetically, one product that really worked was Estee Lauder's Fruition with Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA).
One bottle was pricey, at about $75.00, though.
If the scars/pits are so deep that when you scrap your nails gently on the skin and it gets stuck, then it's really bad. Find out what the doctor can do.
There are chemical peels, lazer peels, dermabrasion, all kinds of treatments to make you feel better about your appearance. These techniques are rather costly and pain may be involved. I don't like these methods because the chemicals can really dry out your skin and you will have both acne AND flakey skin. I don't know whether expensive lazer peels are really effective as opposed to the time and expense required. You can also get prescription drugs for the acne, but I heard that it can affect your reproductive organs in the long run. There are so many acne medicines and beauty products in the market, but be aware, a majority of them are out to get your money and they do not work.
Sure, girls don't care what you look like. Riiigghht!!!!!!
You can carry it off and I've seen guys with very bad skin marry beautiful women. But, try to minimize scarring by not popping them and seeing a doctore. There are really good treatments now.
The scars are not good, me I don't like acne scars. It can really bad with the acne scars. Don't want anyone calling you crater face.
Get Proactiv.
Just Kidding. I'd love the guy for who he is not for what he looks like.
If ppl are so superficial, don't let it get to ya ... the fact ya asked tells me ya are a person worth knowing :-)
I don't think you should worry. I girl is going to like you for you. Scars, big ears, big nose, nose hair, butt hair...... all of those things are qualities in people, maybe not the most attractive things about people. If someone cares for you those things are the things you can laugh and love about each other. Don't worry, there are girls out there like that. I'm not one in a million sweetheart. Don't worry......... happy hunting.
It depends on the guy. Not to sound cheesy but if your a cool, interesting, funny person to be around girls will be more forgiving. I'm more likely to date a guy with acne scars than a guy who looks greasy and unkempt. If it really bothers you there always dermabrasion (remember posh spice?)

Sure, girls don't care what you look like. Riiigghht!!!!!!
You can carry it off and I've seen guys with very bad skin marry beautiful women. But, try to minimize scarring by not popping them and seeing a doctore. There are really good treatments now.
The scars are not good, me I don't like acne scars. It can really bad with the acne scars. Don't want anyone calling you crater face.
Get Proactiv.
Just Kidding. I'd love the guy for who he is not for what he looks like.
If ppl are so superficial, don't let it get to ya ... the fact ya asked tells me ya are a person worth knowing :-)
I don't think you should worry. I girl is going to like you for you. Scars, big ears, big nose, nose hair, butt hair...... all of those things are qualities in people, maybe not the most attractive things about people. If someone cares for you those things are the things you can laugh and love about each other. Don't worry, there are girls out there like that. I'm not one in a million sweetheart. Don't worry......... happy hunting.
It depends on the guy. Not to sound cheesy but if your a cool, interesting, funny person to be around girls will be more forgiving. I'm more likely to date a guy with acne scars than a guy who looks greasy and unkempt. If it really bothers you there always dermabrasion (remember posh spice?)
Acne & Me = Bad Mix.?
I'm sixteen years old, and I've tried basically every over-the-counter medication/formula product possible. I've tried Neutrogena, Clean%26amp;Clear, Proactiv, Biore, Clearasil and I still see zits and pimples. Am I not doing it enough? What else do I need to do? Do I need to see a dermatologist?Acne %26amp; Me = Bad Mix.?
see a dermatologist, i had acne, and she prescribed me an antibiotic pill and cream to use on my face and it really helped. good luck!Acne %26amp; Me = Bad Mix.?
ya see a dermatologist. thats a good idea
I go to a dermatologist, and after the useless stupid antibiotics and useless perscription topicals, I got acutane. bad reputation, worked miracles for me last session I had with it. It went away in a month or two, completely, and now after a half a year I am back on it because it is coming back. If you are a girl I hear it is more difficult to attain, you have to sign more stuff for the Ipledge program, but it is really effective.
Try eating more fruit
See a dermatalogist and ask about Retin-A. This stuff worked great for me.

Acne Problem.... BAD one!?
Please only answer or help if you have or had acne ALL the time and not just one little pimple like once a month ... i have tried soooooooo many products, from the store, and from dermatologists and nothing seems to like, it helps for like the first week then it just goes back to its nasty pimple sefl.... ive had acne now EVERYDAY for about a year, all over my cheeks mostly and a few on my chin and forehead.... The part that sucks is that I stay TRUE to the product, I use it EXACTLY like im supposed to.... so MAYBE there's something i havent tries that you have..... so what are you using what have you used that works, and not just works for the first few weeks, i need something that is going to work ALLLLLLL the time, so please help thanks....Acne Problem.... BAD one!?
I know it sounds disgusting, but my face has cleared up considerably by using a product called SinuRinse. It's a saltwater rinse for your nose that cleans out all the mucus and Nasty stuff in your Nasal Passages. I saw an immediate improvement when I started using it.
You can by it with a Squeeze bottle or something they call the NetiPot. I prefer the squeeze bottle, as it tends to work better.
You can by it at Walmart, Kaiser Pharmacy, and any store that sells pharmaceutical stuff.Acne Problem.... BAD one!?
I just scrub my face when I'm taking a shower.
Try clean and clear advantage --it works great for me. Drink plenty of water, and don't eat fat food.
Good luck :)
i just started using lemon juice with olive oil......you put the juice of a small lemon on a cup or plate and add a teaspoon of olive oil....you wont be able to mix it completely becuase acid and oil dont mix....then grab a cotton ball and sumerge it in the liquid then tap it in your face.....leave it on for 15 min and then wash your face with regular soap....
i've noticed a really big difference and it doesnt smell or anything, it really does work......good luck....oh yeah, make sure your face is completely clean before you apply the solution......eye look

Yaz making my acne so bad!?
ive been taking yaz for 11 days now and ever since i started it has made my acne the worst its ever been. i never get cystic acne and now for the first time ever since on yaz i have bunch of cystic pimples on my chin and all along my jawline. why is this happening. how long will it take for this to clear up?Yaz making my acne so bad!?
its normal to get acne from taking any birth control. your body isnt use to the excess amount of hormones that you are taking. it will go away eventually. your body will be use to it after you take 1 complete month of the pill. i took yaz too and it made me bloat and gave me moodswings for the first month. after your body gets use to the hormones you'll be fine. if not.. proactiv is cheap and works well

My 16 yr. old daughter has acne real bad.?
I took her to the doctor and she prescribe soap and ointment for her. she used it for a couple of months and that hasn't work. now can someone with this problem tell me what she can use over the counter,i feel it may help her more than the medication she had, or i can at least try. Thank You and Happy Weekend.My 16 yr. old daughter has acne real bad.?
Having suffered from acne myself, i can tell you that usually the prespcriptions from dermatologists, not only do not come with specific instructions, but fail to work consistently because of their harsh nature....here's what you can have her begin with to start seeing some clarity....
For a start, you can get some Neutrogena On the Spot benzoyl peroxide and start of veeery slowly with it. Just wear it for 15 minutes a day, but make sure she wears it all over the face. Then double the wearing time every three days. Then, when you are up to wearing it for 3 hours for 3 days in a row, then start wearing it overnight. You need to wear benzoyl everyday in order for it to work and not just ';on the spot'; but all over. It prevents the acne from forming in the first place.
That will help your acne alot, but it usually takes more than that to get clear.

A common course of action is to return to the doctor's office to have the treatment program reevaluated. It's possible that a different (stronger) topical treatment and/or an oral medication could be prescribed. I also had a difficult time with very persistent acne as a teen and needed to try several different treatments to find what worked best for my body.
If you're set against returning to the doctor, egg whites are an old fashioned treatment she can try. You apply it to the skin, allow to dry and sit for a few minutes, and then rinse off. The egg whites are helpful due to the levels of vitamin A found in them. It takes some time to see results.
Pro-Active. EVERYONE seems to recommand that these days. I do not have bad acne only the occasional pimple here (im 18) and there so i don't know if it works the way they say it works. Also not sure if you can by it over the counter, you can certainly ask and shop around for it. But to keep my face fresh and pretty much pimple free i just use an exfoliation scrub designed for your face - removes dead skin cells and cleans your pores, than i apply a facial cream from Loreal (Don't know if thats how its spelt but Its used for sensitive skin because i seem to have sensitive facial skin only!!) and it seems to keep my face free of pimples until the week before ';that week'; i may get one our 2 pimples. I also do not wear make-up on a daily basis and when i do its as light as can be so i avoid a few acne problems from not clogging my pores which seems to send peoples faces into acne over drive..
But i would consider trying and looking for Pro-Active
there is a medication she can take called Accutane. I and my brother both took it with good results. his didn't work as fast as mine did, but he had huge boils from the acne also. ask your doctor for this. it can be dangerous for a baby, so they will require her to be on birth control even if not sexually active, I was 28 and they still required it of me. there are side effects, mostly just very skin which can be treated
What the skin needs is a product that clears pores and kills bacteria, thus preventing hair follicles from clogging and turning into acne. This is what you should be looking for if you want to get rid of those ugly acne.

Does using lotion on your face clog pores and make acne worse?
what do you think of ';Body by Bed Head Clean Guy's Face %26amp; Body Lotion';?Does using lotion on your face clog pores and make acne worse?
yes thats true...for more information visit http://www.crispncute.com/acne.phpDoes using lotion on your face clog pores and make acne worse?
If the lotion is made for your face, it should be fine (if you have normal to dry skin). If it is body lotion, do not use it on your face. Perhaps you should buy a moisturizer made specifically for the face, rather than face and body lotion.
Some lotions will clog your pores! if you already have acne i would only use a lotion that is for acne and does not have mineral oil in it! that is a big no no for acne and skin in general!!
if it mentions anywhere its non-comedogenic than it means it wont clog pores. and i'm assuming since it mentions ';face'; the company wouldnt be mean, so then it will be safe. if it has a fragrance though, that could irritate the skin on your face, so then only apply on your body and get a moisturizer designed for your face (man i mention ';face'; a lot hahaha).
Even people that are acne-prone, or oily skin, still need to use a DAILY moisturizer on their face. Without that hydration, your oil production will actually be WORSE, because it will over-compensate. The key is to find a non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) and possibly oil-free moisturizer.
if u put it on and sweat or get really dirty then it is bad for it but if u use it and go to work or school and just sit around it shouldn't do anything especially if you get a light lotion that usually helps

I had bad chest and back acne?
Hey guys, so I have bad acne over my back and chest. I'm a horse back rider, so I know it's probably from me sweating from riding outside, I do wear fitted shirts, that probably trap the sweat, but as soon as i get home, I change my shirt and bra and take a shower bwfeore I change. Any advice to make this go away? Thanks for hte hlep!I had bad chest and back acne?
You need to make sure that not only are you clean after riding but that you give your skin time to breathe. Your pores are obviously clogged up and probably from the sweating and the fact that you clean after wards is great but i suggest that you wear looser tops so your skin can get some air and neutrogena has this bar of soap to help cleanse your skin. Its great! Well good luck and best wishes!I had bad chest and back acne?
my mom had the same problem she used this stuff called clindamycin it works so goo! I noticed a difference on her in two weeks in less than a month it was all gone. ask your dermatogolist about gettting some. Report Abuse
they're prescipton body washes for that as well as over the counter brands. You must have easily clogged pores my brother has it and he wears t-shirts every day so it's probablly not just from tight fitting shirts. exfoliate and try a body wash for bacne
make sure right after youve done an activity and u sweat to take a shower asap, the sweating is causing the acne to become more and more irrated.
try proactive :] its awesome
Hello , there's a lot of products this days that you can buy over the counter, most of all body scrubs, all though I have experience my self this situation, I realize that if you have long hair, the products that you use for it may be the problem. Well I hope this could be some help for you. good luck.

I am 20 years old, and for the past 10 years have had a problem with acne. Its gotten worst now, please help?
I now have whiteheads and alot of redness. I've tried almost everything from homemade remedies to prescription tablets to ointments, but nothing helps. Can anyone out there with a similar problem tell me how to get rid of my acne.I am 20 years old, and for the past 10 years have had a problem with acne. Its gotten worst now, please help?
I'm 24 and I have very sensitive skin. I've always had problem with trying chemicals and it never works... only makes it worse.
Go to Whole Foods or Wild Oats and get some facial treatments that 100% natural or organic. It may work. Use very little on your face... the less, the better.I am 20 years old, and for the past 10 years have had a problem with acne. Its gotten worst now, please help?
A tea-tree oil facial wash helps. The Body Shop carry a good range of tea-tree products. Wash your face twice a day with the tea-tree face wash. Then use a tea-tree facial toner and rub it across your face. Finally, use tea-tree oil and rub it along the red patches, pimples and whiteheads. Keep that up and you'll notice a difference in about 2 weeks.
I just recently ordered Proactiv and have been very happy with it. I'm a middle-age woman who had more acne recently than I ever did when I was a teenager. I tried over-the-counter acne cleansers but none of those did the job so I decided to give Proactiv a try. It probably took a week to have considerably clearer skin. I ordered the special trial pack for $19.99. It included the cleanser, toner, repairing lotion and mask. I think it works great!
I had severe acne and blemish to the point of scaring and I started to go to a dermatologist to do a deep tissue cleaning and a microdermabrasion and now I don't ever get pimples and the scares are pretty much gone... If you live in California in the Inland Empire call: Beauty Gallery

ask for Rose.
I had really bad acne and the only thing that helped me was Accutane. After you take Accutane the pimples might come back after about 5 years, but nothing severe and over the counter creams will work to clear it up.
ce and make it worse..soap and water in the morning andf night its your best bet..or go to sephora in the mall and they have really really good syuff expensive and a small bottle but it works and its perfect.
seriously, pee on your hands and rub it onto your face. The Amonia in your piss is the best thing for white heads/acne.
It's time to change to a new dermatologist.
theres lazer treatments and chemical peels?

Hahah I'm bored, just curious.
Mines is real light. I get them but below usual.Lol Random??? How Bad is your Acne?
I don't get acne. I rarley get pimples, but when I do it's like HUGE pimples that take like 2 weeks to go away. Only 2 or 3 at a time. But they hurt and are big, red, and shiny!Lol Random??? How Bad is your Acne?
I dont get acne. I got 1 or 2 pimples on my chin and i get small ones around my nose. Its only a few, and I only get them every week or so. But when i do get them they are huuuge.

I found a lotion but i'm scared it will make my acne worse! Here it is:?
Ohk so the lotion i found is called Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream. It says it's for very dry skin! But does any one know if it will make my acne worse if i cleanse and use it after?I found a lotion but i'm scared it will make my acne worse! Here it is:?
if it is for very dry skin, don't use it. that means it has tons of oils in it, and that's probably the last thing you need right now!. usually people with acne have somewhat oily skin.. the best thing to do is to make sure you wash your face 2 times a day with a cleanser with salycitic acid or benzoyl peroxide (acne fighting ingredients), then follow up with a oil-free moisturizer with the same ingredients. do this every day and you will notice a change within a week. don't use any other products on your skin during this time.
you can buy these products pretty cheap at wal-mart.... neutrogena or biore are great brands...I found a lotion but i'm scared it will make my acne worse! Here it is:?
I WOULDN'T EVEN TAKE THAT CHANCE!!! MY SON SEES A DERMATOLOGIST FOR HIS ACNE. THEY RECOMMENDED NEUTROGENA HEALTHY DEFENSE DAILY MOISTURIZER WITH HELIOPLEX SPF 45. HE HAS BEEN USING IT FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS NOW AND REALLY LIKES IT, I'M SURE ITS ALSO CHEAPER THAN MARY KAY AND WILL HAVE BETTER RESULTS. IF YOU KNOW ANYBODY THAT WORKS FOR DERMATOLOGIST OFFICE YOU MAY ASK THEM FOR SOME SAMPLES. GOOD LUCK!!!
I get pimples once in a while and I NEVER put anything on my skin that i designed for dry skin because that means it has lots of oil in it, which means you will have lots of pimples. I only use DDF ultra lite oil free moisturizing dew
Works in the winter and in the summer but on the pricey side - $36
If its for dry skin, then using it with oily/sensitive skin will make it worse. If you do have sensitive skin, try using a gel rather than a cream. It'll work better. I use Aveda gel cleanser.
Mary Kay has a great set of products to help your acne. Trust me, I speak from experience. I use to break out all the time. Since I started using these products, I rarely see a breakout.
Start with the 3 in 1 cleanser. Follow with the Blemish Control Formula #3, then the Acne treatment gel.
I also use the day / night solution and moisturizer. It has worked wonders for me. I have found that it works for a number of my customers as well.
if you have oily or normal skin
it can make it worse,
since its for dry skin it will likely moisterize your skin.
Which is not good if you have oily skin, because what you need then is getting rid of oil not moisterizing. That moisterizing cream will likely aid in that alrdy oily face, which -%26gt; clogging of pores.
when looking for a moisturizer, look for the word ';noncomedogenic'; on the bottle. this means that the lotion will not clog your pores and therefore should not cause acne.
i suffer from acne and i know that any moisturizer that isnt oil free will probably make your skin worse. most thick moisturizers clog your pores also. i use Proactive Green Tea Moisturizer. You have to order it online. I love it! It a very thin gel-like moisturizer that dosn't clog pores. My skin is always dry from my acne treatments but ever since i have used this my skin has not peeled or been dry. Also you should try using the entire proactive 3 step system for your acne every morning and night.
The comment about being noncomedogenic is correct however I would not recomend this on acne prone skin
Extra emollient is for very dry skin It was used years ago one of MK first products most people do not use this on their face these days we have several other product that I would recommend first beside what you are telling me I would say do not use it. extra Emollient has a several ingredients also found in Vaseline so it feels a little greasy to most people it is also the first step used in Satan Hands treatment that locks in moisture.
If your using mary kay use the 3 pece kit instead for oily/combination skin. It clearly says the product is for dry skin not oily skin. if you use it, the cream will be more rich and make you get more oily and breakout more, by blocking your skins capillaries. Use the cleanser, toner for combo/oily, and oil control lotion I think its like 40-50 dollars a kit, im not sure anymore. I used to use it but now my skin is better and ive stopped and use regular stuff from department stores.
if it is for very dry skin, don't use it. that means it has tons of oils in it, and that's probably the last thing you need right now!. usually people with acne have somewhat oily skin.. the best thing to do is to make sure you wash your face 2 times a day with a cleanser with salycitic acid or benzoyl peroxide (acne fighting ingredients), then follow up with a oil-free moisturizer with the same ingredients. do this every day and you will notice a change within a week. don't use any other products on your skin during this time.
you can buy these products pretty cheap at wal-mart.... neutrogena or biore are great brands...I found a lotion but i'm scared it will make my acne worse! Here it is:?
I WOULDN'T EVEN TAKE THAT CHANCE!!! MY SON SEES A DERMATOLOGIST FOR HIS ACNE. THEY RECOMMENDED NEUTROGENA HEALTHY DEFENSE DAILY MOISTURIZER WITH HELIOPLEX SPF 45. HE HAS BEEN USING IT FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS NOW AND REALLY LIKES IT, I'M SURE ITS ALSO CHEAPER THAN MARY KAY AND WILL HAVE BETTER RESULTS. IF YOU KNOW ANYBODY THAT WORKS FOR DERMATOLOGIST OFFICE YOU MAY ASK THEM FOR SOME SAMPLES. GOOD LUCK!!!
I get pimples once in a while and I NEVER put anything on my skin that i designed for dry skin because that means it has lots of oil in it, which means you will have lots of pimples. I only use DDF ultra lite oil free moisturizing dew
Works in the winter and in the summer but on the pricey side - $36
If its for dry skin, then using it with oily/sensitive skin will make it worse. If you do have sensitive skin, try using a gel rather than a cream. It'll work better. I use Aveda gel cleanser.
Mary Kay has a great set of products to help your acne. Trust me, I speak from experience. I use to break out all the time. Since I started using these products, I rarely see a breakout.
Start with the 3 in 1 cleanser. Follow with the Blemish Control Formula #3, then the Acne treatment gel.
I also use the day / night solution and moisturizer. It has worked wonders for me. I have found that it works for a number of my customers as well.
if you have oily or normal skin
it can make it worse,
since its for dry skin it will likely moisterize your skin.

MY ACNE IS BAD AND i NEED HELP!?
any HOME REMEDIES??? OR TIPS????MY ACNE IS BAD AND i NEED HELP!?
For acne
Carrot Top Facial Mask
(normal - oily skin)
By: Pioneer Thinking
The Ingredients The Instructions
2-3 large carrots
4 1/2 tablespoons honey
Cook carrots, then mash. Mix with honey. Apply gently to the skin, wait 10 minutes. Rinse off with cool water.
honey (1 tsp) with 1/2 (tsp) of cinnamon powder. Apply for 15 minutes. Due to the antiseptic properties, bacterial infections in the skin are treated. More home remedies available at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/acne.html...鈥?/a>
A plain baking soda and water mask is by far the best you can do for acne prone skin. Mix a water and baking soda in a cup until the consistancy of a thinner paste. Pat on face (do not rub) and let sit till it hardens then rinse off. This has done miracles for my sensitive acne prone skin!! Plus it's all natural! Sometimes I add a few drops of tea tree oil too. Once or twice a week is plenty for this treatment.
Toothpaste
Apply a dab of toothpaste on your pimple before bed. This is useful for new pimples, especially big ones. Whenever I spot a new pimple, I try this. Usually the next morning, it will be dried out enough to pop on its own.
Lemon juice is effective in lightening the dark spots left by acne and pimples.
First, cleanse the scarred area with water. Soak up a teaspoon of lemon juice with a cotton ball and smooth it over the marks. Leave the juice in place for ten minutes, then rinse.
Be careful how often you use lemon juice: it can have the side effect of making your skin light sensitive. Make sure to cover treated areas with sunscreen before going outdoors.
The best treatment is prevention. You should try to prevent acne from ever forming. Below are some ways to reign in the red bumps:
1. Include green, leafy vegetables and fruits in your diet. Drink a lot of water to to regularly to flush out toxins, and don't forget to drink a glass before breakfast to flush out the stomach. Avoid deep-fried snacks.
2. Try to have at least one bowel movement per day.
3. Get to bed before 11pm. You have to give your body enough rest time or it won't heal. Don't snack before bed
4. Don't use a computer any longer than you need to, and keep your phone a distance from your bed. Theradiation both put out can have noticeable effects on your skin.
5. Change your bedsheets and pillow covers often. Those areas are like magnets for dead cells, dander, mites and dust - all of which can cause an acne breakut. Some skin experts even recommend changing pillow cases daily.
6. Resist the urge to pop your pimples. It can cause even more damage to the skin and worsen scarring. Resist the temptation!
7. If you get acne on your body, try not to wear tight clothes that will prevent your skin from breathing. You may want to avoid scarves, headbands and caps which can also collect dirt and oil.

I am 22 and thought that my skin would have cleared up now that I'm not a teenager. I wash my face religiously and have tried everything except for prescriptions (I don't have great health insurance). Has anyone had good results with ProActive? Does anyone have any other suggestions?I am 22 and have worse acne then when I was 16. Any suggestions?
I heard ProActive works great, but I have good luck with apricot scrub and sunshine, no face make-up, lots of water, and keep away from chocolate and fried foods.I am 22 and have worse acne then when I was 16. Any suggestions?
hi there, check this site out, make sure you check the site map also,
you are bound to find something:
http://acne-medication.ebookorama.com/
good luck, if it helps please remember me! ta-ra
I know this is gonna sound funny but it works. the first thing you do when u get up in the morning is get a wash cloth and urinate on it. and dab it on your acne. it worked for me i read it in a book. this is honest. your urine in the morning has alot of antibiotics produced by your body at night. good luck.
I hear proactive is too harsh on your skin. I started using mary kay products and stopped working in restaurants. This worked for me. Depending on the type of skin you have depends on the wash you want to use. I used Neutragena before (oil free) foaming face wash and got good results. Just read labels first...you don't want anything with a fragrence to it. Good luck!
Yes, Proactiv works wonders. I'd reccomend it to anybody. Whatever kind of acne you have it will clear it up.
Plus I'm on Diane-35 (form of birth control) it's supposed to take a while (6 months) but apparently it clears you up.
Try Proactiv - but it does tend to be drying. I use Philosophy (I ordered it from the website) and my skin just stopped breaking out. Not only that - but it has a nice glow - and I don't wear as much makeup because of that. I know skincare is really personal and it varies from person to person but try it! They also have an acne program as well. I heard proactiv is really good as well - but I have personal experience with Philosophy. Good luck! I know, I've been there
By the way I have included the link to the kit below - It helped me out - and my skin looks and feels really pretty - compared to before. Keep in mind also, that with any skincare - it does take some time for your skin to get used to it. Give it about 2 weeks. With either product that you choose. :)
many people think washing your face a million times a day will help when in reality sometimes it hurts alot, it removes all of the oil and therefore spurs your face to excreet more oil, and can cause an adverse reaction to people, try neutrogena amber colored facial bar, it smells nice too like lavender, chill out on that obsessive face washingregimine im tellin ya it might be hurtin more than it's helping, p diddy loves proactive but i dunno how far i trust him 8)

Is it true that acne will get worse before it gets better?
My doctor prescribed Benza Clin to me.
I've been using it for about a week, and I have not seen any improvements. I'm actually breaking out.
Should I continue to use it?Is it true that acne will get worse before it gets better?
Do you have a face regime???
These really work! It doesn't matter if they are expensive or not as long as you stick to them. You need a cleanser, a toner, your Benza Clin (as long as you know your not allergic) and a non-pore-clogging moisterizer.
If the acne is really bad, you can get antibiotics to clear it up as well.Is it true that acne will get worse before it gets better?
no its not true!...call ur dr. and explain whats going on he will probably want to see you again and prescribe something else..good luck.
Well if your breaking out then possibly your allergic to it, i would stop use of it straight away. You should try using proactive my friend had really bad acne and after a week It all started clearing up.
Best of luck.

Is soap bad for face acne?
Is regular bar soap in the shower bad to wash your face with? my acne never seems to go away..also on my chest %26gt;%26lt;
-also when does acne generally go away?Is soap bad for face acne?
Yes regular bar soap is not good. This leaves a thin film of soap on your skin which will lead to drying of the skin. Because your skin will be so dry, your sebaceous glands which are your oil glands will start to produce even more oil because you have stripped the skin of its natural oil and then BOOM, you start to get more acne. Overdrying of the skin does more bad then good. Just use a water based cleanser which will cleanse the skin and balance out the skin.Is soap bad for face acne?
yes it is very bad because it is drying your skin out too much , i suggest nuetrogena facial wash it has chemicals in it that will balance out the skin and clear the acne. I use it on two children whos face and back are oily and after i wash them i use it . I also use Witch Hazel .

Hi there!
One of the most common acne scar treatment is laser resurfacing, or the application of soft and highly focused light on the surface of the skin to ';burn'; acne. However, this approach is only advisable for minor acne types like blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. Laser resurfacing is actually the closest literal equivalent of actual ';acne removal'; technique that is currently available. This is because laser resurfacing will actually remove acne. Since burning would naturally produce scars, people are quite hesitant to avail of this acne removal method. But such worries are unfounded. Laser resurfacing also includes a post-burning treatment that would stimulate the instant growth of collagen.

Hi!
I actually found a facial oil that slows down your skins oil production, clears up pimples/ acne and dissolves black heads within 4-8 weeks I put all the info on my blog as it's quite detailed:
http://beautymoi.blogspot.com/
I also put a full article of how to extract blackheads and steam your skin.
Black heads are basically a hardened oil mixture that was secreted from your pores and oxidized (which makes the outside part black) and since water and oil don't mix, no water based product can ';clean'; your blackheads away, just try say putting certain foundations or makeups on the mirror and if you wipe it with water it smudges all over but put a little baby oil and wipe and tada! it comes off super clean AND dissolves it. So this is basically how this oil works. It's composition is such that the skin accepts it as a healing oil and it does not clog your skin but rather protects it while the plant extracts inside go down into the pores (this absorption is made possible by applying the toner to the skin before applying the oil and then applying the dabs of oil over your moistened face), it then penetrates into the pores.
I put where to the name of the oil and prices in stores versus on eBay as well as how to apply it on my blog:

Take care and good luck!

It's composition is such that the skin accepts it as a healing oil and it does not clog your skin but rather protects it while the plant extracts inside go down into the pores (this absorption is made possible by applying the toner to the skin before applying the oil and then applying the dabs of oil over your moistened face), it then penetrates into the pores.
I put where to the name of the oil and prices in stores versus on eBay as well as how to apply it on my blog:

Sunshine for blemishes
Unprotected exposure to the sun (without sunscreen) can help to heal blemishes and stimulate production of vitamin D in the skin. However, limit your exposure to 2-4 times a week for no longer than 15 minutes. Choose a time before 10:30 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m., when the sun's rays are not as strong. Note: Excessive sun exposure can cause long-term damage to the skin, which can result in skin cancer. Avoid any prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Care Tips
路Acne can also be caused by fluctuating hormones, stress, certain medications, food allergies and a diet high in fat. Determine if your outbreak is due to one of these factors and use the night gel for quick acne relief.
路To prevent further aggravation of your existing pimples, keep your hands scrupulously clean and away from your face. Resist the urge to squeeze or pick at acne, which could further inflame an outbreak and result in permanent scarring or pitting. Other basic tips are keeping your hair clean and away from your face; and sanitizing your telephone daily to remove bacteria that can help promote acne infection on your jaw-line.
路Many commercial care products for oily skin contain isopropyl alcohol, benzoyl peroxide and acetone, all of which excessively strip the skin surface oil. In addition, these products can dehydrate the skin, which, in turn causes the skin to produce even more oil to make up for the deficit.
Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil has an anesthetic benefit without numbness; it is anti-bacterial, killing bacteria after only 20 seconds exposure; it is a natural fungicide; it causes the necrotic tissue to slough and heals without scarring in just a couple of days; it penetrates into the deeper tissues, down into the connective tissue and muscles; it is a natural antiseptic; it is an effective solvent and therefore a natural cleanser, able to dissolve stains and resins.
Tea tree oil helps to prevent infection in minor cuts, wounds, abrasions, athlete's foot, jock itch, yeast infections, minor burns, sunburn, insect bites, stinging nettles, chicken pox, herpes lesions, bleeding gums, canker sores, gingivitis, strep throat, mosquito repellent, strengthen the immune system, muscle aches and pains, bronchitis, shingles.... the list is almost endless!
Because tea tree oil kills viruses, bacteria and fungi, it can heal internal and external infections. It is safe to use undiluted on the most sensitive and delicate parts of the body.
Acne is a tremendously embarrassing and burdensome problem. It is easy to feel that you don't have control over your breakouts. But the fact is, you do. Now, your first response may be to assume that I'm going to recommend you see your dermatologist. Well, think again. Natural remedies can be just as effective and medications. Possibly more powerful. Sometimes, all your body needs is the right nutritional balance and proper skin care. Here are some easy things you can start doing today to help you heal your acne. You should notice a difference in about 4 weeks.
路Apply a honey mask to your face once or twice a week - Honey has antibacterial properties so it is great for disinfecting and healing minor blemishes. It is also gentle on sensitive skin.
路Wash twice a day with acne soap - You should wash your face twice a day with a sulfur based soap designed for acne. Once when you first wake up in the morning and then, right before you go to bed at night. Be extremely gentle to your skin when washing - do not scrub or use any sort of rough cloth. Overwashing your skin will actually stimulate your sebaceous glands to produce more sebum, thus increasing your acne.
路Keep your hair off your face - If you have long hair or bangs, pull your hair off your face. Your hair contains oils as well, and will contribute to your breakouts. You铆ll also want to wash your hair everyday and after workouts
路Take a potent multi-vitamin - Acne can be a sign that something is wrong on the inside. Your skin depends on nutrition. It is a vital organ that is usually neglected. If your body is not receiving the right nutrition, it will fight back. One common way it will rebel is to produce excessive sebum, clogging pores, and reducing the ability for your skin to heal and fight bacteria.
路Include chromium in your diet - Chromium is well known for weight loss diets. But it is also excellent for healing infections on the skin. Taking a chromium supplement once a day will help heal your pimples quickly and prevent future breakouts.
路Eat carrots for beta-carotene (Vitamin A) - Vitamin A strengthens the protective tissue of the skin and actually prevents acne. It helps reduce sebum production. This vitamin is essential for the maintenance and repair of the tissue which the skin and mucous membranes are made of. Vitamin A is also a powerful antioxidant needed to rid your body of toxins. Did you know that a deficiency in vitamin A can actually cause acne?
路Avoid wearing makeup - Leaving makeup products on your skin only contributes to clogging your pores, causing more pimples and blackheads. If you feel you must wear makeup, be sure it is water-based.
路Drink 8 glasses of water - Drinking water is essential for clean skin and your overall health. Water is essential for carrying waste material out of your body... and is quite possibly flare-ups
路Do not pick or squeeze your blackheads and pimples - As tempting as it may be, do not squeeze, scratch, rub or touch your pimples and blackheads. Do any of these actions, actually increases the sebum production. Plus, when you squeeze, you are actually rupturing the membranes below your skin, causing infection and sebum to spread underneath your skin. The result is more pimples.
路Wash your pillow case every other day - Your face lays on your pillow case every day. Your pillow case absorbs the oils from your skin and reapplies the dirt and oil. Thus causing breakouts. Keep your sheets and pillow cases clean.
路Eat foods rich in zinc - Zinc is an antibacterial agent and a necessary element in the oil-producing glands of the skin. A diet low in zinc can actually cause acne breakouts.
How 8 Glasses of Water a Day Can Keep Acne Away
Drinking water is essential for clean skin and your overall health. Water is essential for carrying waste material out of your body... and is quite possibly the single most important contributor to healing and preventing acne flare-ups.
How much water should you be drinking every day? Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water a day for beautiful skin.
Your body is made up of 70 percent water. Water is literally your body's life force. It is involved in nearly every bodily process, including digestion, absorption, circulation and excretion.
Water is also the primary transporter of nutrients throughout your body. If not enough water is consumed, toxins can build up causing breakouts. Water flushes these toxins out.
Without adequate water, we would poison ourselves with our own metabolic wastes. Your kidneys remove waste products that must be dissolved by water. So, by drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day, you are flushing out the toxins that would normally escape through the pores of your skin... thus preventing acne breakouts.
Your kidneys cannot function properly without enough water. When they do not work to capacity, some of the load is dumped onto your liver.
One of your liver's primary functions is to metabolize stored fat into usable energy for your body. But, if your liver has to do some of the kidney's work, it cannot work at full capacity. A liver that is not performing at its best can worsen acne because it cannot break down and clear excess hormones from your body.
Water helps maintain proper muscle tone, by giving muscles their natural ability to contract and by preventing dehydration. Shrinking cells are buoyed by water which plumps your skin and leaves it clear, healthy and resilient.
More important information about water
Water is also extremely important in losing weight and keeping it off. Water suppresses the appetite and helps your body metabolize stored fat.
Studies have shown that a decrease in water intake will cause fat deposits to increase while an increase in water intake can actually reduce fat deposits.
Drinking 8 glasses of water a day can also eliminate water retention. Sodium may be a cause of water retention. Water flushes the sodium out of your system.
Water can help relieve constipation. When your body gets too little water, it siphons what it needs from internal sources. The colon is one primary source. The result is constipation. But if you drink enough water, normal bowel function returns. So, drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day.
Your body will not function properly without enough water and cannot rid itself of wastes and toxins. Drinking water is essential for clear, healthy skin.
