Oh yeah аnd i DONT want tο gο tο drastic measures lіkе surgery gosh, i јυѕt need something simple аnd affordable
I recommend calamine pink lotion at night to dry up the skin. To lessen the scaring try a microderm abrasion or a pumpkin peel. This will lighten the darker scars but not remove them completely.
Well after your little phase of acne, you can get scar removal surgery, but make sure you that you get it after your acne phase. . .for now use Proactiv or if you’re desperate, but healthy use Accutane
try proactive and lotion or monkey butt
i had really bad acne on my forhead when i was a teen. I totally recommend Porcelana. It is a light bleaching cream that you put on 1 – 2 times a day and the scars fade away.
go tanning, helped me to get rid of ….
and use sunblock old the time
good luck
just live it out and pray its puberty like everyone tells you, stop picking at yourself so you dont get scars but if you do then when you get a little older anad the acne stops you can get the scars removed surgically for lots of money but its pointless now while you still have acne, just wash morning and night and pat your face dry
i went through the same experience… i tried all sorts of three step products ( Proactiv and Acne Free) but it didn’t seem to help ..
well after trying new things … i discovered that your skin needs to be moisturized… that’s the key… and not pounding a skizard worth of salicyclic acid products on your face…
I wash my face with literally any face wash … and then apply a lot of face lotion… it has to be specially formulated for your face.. Try one by AVEENO during the night time and during the day time, use face lotion with SPF… like a Neutrogena untinted face lotion… i don’t have the cream next to me… but it’s something like that…
if at anytime throughout the day your face feels dry or really oily and heavy then wash it and reapply face cream … If you have ugly looking mountains growing on your face .. then use a tad bit of pimple reducing cream .. and then let it stay there a bit and then apply cream…
so the key:
MOISTURIZE ! MOISTURIZE ! MOISTURIZE !
no joke!
and don’t just stop when they’re gone… keep on applying that cream cuz it’s good for the skin and it keeps it HEALTHY!
Go see your doctor, it may be a little embarressing but i did and my doctor game me a great acne creame. Its like lotion and you just rub it in before bed. No washing or anything needed so its great when your traveling or over at someones house.
proactiv to get rid of acne – seriously that stuff works. Plus also use a moisturiser specific for your skin tone twice a day. Once the acne has cleared either keep using the proactive or make sure you cleanse, tone and moisturise twice a day. Also drink plenty of water.
To get rid of the scars try using pure vitamin e oil once the acne has gone away. The is meant to be the best non surgical remedy for scar tissue, but you will need to apply it twice a day for about a year for the scar tissue to heal. If this doesn’t work the only other option is micro-dermabrasion therapy or something similar
stridex pads. one in the morning and one before bed. as far as the scars let me know if you find something.lol
hi thr…i was like you when i was 14…loads and loads of pimple with loads of scars …i totally took care of my diet and stop oily food because i had oily skin and which made a breakout of pimples….since then i saw a total change on my face and different people gave me commets about my skin that all my pimple were dissappear….and my scar marks are all fedded away..naturally! i am remain with only tiny of them on my cheeks which is hardly noticeable ….i think u can do that too rather then using artifical stuff on your face or going to see any other doctors…..and if you use make-up just try to use a mild cleanser on your face with a toner too….Hope this helps
Good luck
Despite the commercials, after the first month ProActiv is about forty dollars a month. Too much for a lot of people…
I suggest you try a few at-home attempts first.
Baking soda based toothpaste helps dry pimples and helps get rid of blackheads WAY more easily.
My doctor always recommends Clearisil face wash, but Neutrogena is also good if clearasil doesn’t work.
A doctor could prescribe you something, which if your insurance covers it would be cheaper and possibly more effective that ProActiv.
I’ve also read thatif you put a lemon dabbed in sugr on your face and scrub it in, avoiding your eyes, before you shower it will help get rid of blackheads.(Your face may be a bit red so don’t do this RIGHT before you go out…)
As for the scars another user for a similar topic suggest a mask of oatmeal and milk that will help rid of oils, therefore allowing for healing.
When you pop pimples or white headsuse two Q-Tips and immediatley after apply a bit of acne medice and whatever that creme/gel stuff you put on cuts is called. (I’ve also heard rubbing alcohol suggested, but I’ve never tried it.
It’s been sugested that Green Tea helps prevent acne. "(Green Tea with Honeysuckle is often known as ‘Pimple Tea’ in many Chinatowns)"

I’ve been having breakouts since many years & I tried everything. From personal experience, face applications solve the problem temporarily, but the acne is always back. Home remedies will again only work for the moment.
Six months ago, a dermatologist prescribed a course of Roaccutane tablets for me. Since u r 14, u don’t have to worry about having babies now, cos that is the only thing, she told me to avoid during this treatment. Its just having these tablets & avoiding eating too much of carrots. Believe me in 3 months, my face totally cleared up. i still continued the medication for 2 more months & the results are great. But please check with your dermalogist.
I am now 47 and since childhood I have always cleaned my face with Listerine and cotton balls, especially over and around the nose and forehead area. You would not believe the dirt that comes off. With it being antiseptic you have an additional benefit. I have always had a clear but light complexion, my teachers even commented on this throughout high school. Though now I use a moisturizer after my face drys and bronzer for added color. As for a breakout, clean with the Listerine, if really red, hold an ice cube on it and before bedtime, put white toothpaste a dab will do. You don’t have to rub it in, but make sure it’s covered. by morning most of the red should be gone. Try to keep your fingers off your face. Always use cotton balls, q-tips, something sanitary
The Listerine should start drying alot of it over night.
My youngest – 18 wanted me to get pro-active, I ask her before I did just to try for a week using the Listerine. Mom was right, two days later, her breakout was gone. She has been blemish free for about 3 months now, which for her is a blessing. clean your face about 3 times a day for the first two days. When getting up, after school and before bedtime. You’ll notice a difference before the week is up. When not necessary, clean all make-up off, like when you come home from school. Your skin can breath easier. do this until the breakouts stop. The scars will start fading too.
i just recovered from quite severe acne. i went to see a doctor and he gave me galderma’s differin (adapalene) which really helped unclog pores and prevent new acne from forming. i guess you really need antibiotics to kill the bacteria under your skin.
but remember whatever it is, do not increase the strength of the acne cream/gel/lotion that you’re using just because it isnt recovering, cause the reason might be that it is too strong and thus caused further inflammation(this was what happened to me).
best of luck & hope you recover soon =)
