I need the best possible acne solution out there!?
I аm 14 years οld аnd I really really need tο gеt rid οf thіѕ acne ! I mean, іt сουld bе worse bυt im ѕο sick οf іt. It mаkеѕ mе ѕο self-conscious аnd I need іt tο gο away ! I pretty much οnlу gеt thеm οn mу forehead. please, HELP!
proactive is the best by far and it works with any skin type and age it’s awesome
Okay. First of all, how often do you exfoliate? Buy a good exfoliator (sometimes the cheapest just don’t cut it!) and use it once weekly. This helps to get rid of acne that is trapped under the skin and hasn’t quite occurred yet.
Secondly, try a cleanser containing salicylic acid (at least 2%) and/or benzoyl peroxide. These ingredients help to get rid of bacteria that contributes in causing your acne.
If you’re looking for a quick fix, dab just a bit of apple cider vinegar on ripe pimples. Don’t use too much as it might burn your skin (or at least cause a burning sensation). Then just leave your pimples alone and let this bacteria-killing vinegar do its job!
Plus, no picking please! Your hands and fingers are covered in bacteria (think of all of the things you touch each day!) so picking at them will only make them worse. If you want to attempt to pop a few pimples, follow these tips:
-If it still won’t pop after two or three attempts, don’t continue. You’ll just bruise the area and make it worse.
-Before popping, apply a warm cloth for a few minutes.
-Never use your fingernails when popping. The pads of your fingers will do.
-If the zit pops successfully, cleanse it with a gentle cleanser containing salicylic acid.
If you have a lot of whiteheads/blackheads, try this. Fill a sink or large bowl with steaming hot water. Wrap a towel around your hair (if you have long hair) to keep it from falling in your face. Then bend over the sink/large bowl just enough so that the steam hits your face evenly in most places. Do not actually touch the water – it’s veeery hot! After a few minutes of allowing your pores to open and cleanse, drain the sink/large bowl and take off the towel. Avoid touching your clean skin for awhile.
Contrary to popular belief, drinking lots of water will not help to clean out your skin. Sure, drinking it regularly has lots of other health benefits (so don’t skip out on drinking your daily eight cups!) but it will not help to clear your skin. The same goes for the toothpaste myth, when you apply toothpaste to your pimples. It’s a remedy that’s commonly used and while many of its users "claim" that it works there are no ingredients in toothpaste that aid in getting rid of acne.
Best of luck to you!

They sell a product at Nordstrom called N.V. Perricone. It is really expensive but it works. You can stop and get some samples and see a difference right away. You can also buy it directly from the website if you do not have a Nordstrom close by.
Proactive can not even come close to this stuff. My husband has tried both (the Proactive is much cheaper) and he went back to the Perricone.
there’s this soap called black soap at wal-mart and it works really well. it removes blemishes, acne, and bags from under your eyes. i have some and i love it! if that isn’t what you are looking for then try noxema, nutrogena, or oxy.
Alright, being a teenager also, I get acne problems too :p.
I find that if you wash your face with soap at least once a day, it helps a lot. If you don’t have time, you can wipe your face with a facial wipe. But, these only help if you keep up with them (I speak from experience XD).
Alternatively, you could go to our doctor. I went to mine and she gave me some cream stuff which helped :p.
But, don’t be looking for a quick solution. These things take time ^-^.
Hope I helped ^_^
When studying keep your hands off of your forehead. There is bacteria on them, so when you touch your face it makes it worse. If your a girl and you wear makeup stop, get rid of what you have and buy new, though do not wear it until the acne is under control. Oxy 5 with a separate gentle facial cleaning soap are very good to use. If this does not work see your doctor.
OXY MAX ( you will find them in a grocery store or target)
or the cheap way
tooth paste
Do you wash your face every night with a warm wash cloth? I freak out when I have acne too and I’m starting to get some. My mom gave me this cream that really works for me… it’s the Mary Kay acne treatment. You can get lots of acne stuff at the store, but whatever you do, AVOID MINERAL OIL!!!!! IT AGES YOUR SKIN FASTER THAN NORMAL!!!
My brother had REALLY BAD acne for years.. he tried proactive and all the other products as well. The ONLY thing that worked for him was the Clearasil pads, the orange ones. I am not sure if you have tried that yet, but if not try them see if that works for you.
You can go to your doctor and get special pills that reduce hormones that create oil on your skin. For girls, Estelle-35, for pimples that are deep. If you are a girl then you can go to the doctor and get pills such as these prescribed. Otherwise, go to the chemist and buy a spot treatment that has 5 – 10 percent benzol peroxide. And if buying face wash in the supermarket, the one that seems to work the best is neutrogena, that is what the doctor and personal experience says. And according to the doctor proactiv is a WASTE OF MONEY. You can get stonger, better stuff from the chemist, cheaper.
