Acne is getting out of control! Any suggestions?? (please?)?
I don't have severe cystic acne, but the acne I do have is get really annoying. I don't get pimples on my cheeks but ALWAYS on my forehead and its getting really bad on my chin. I've used pretty much every skin cleanser out there like pro-active,clean and clear, clearasil, etc. When I used proactive it dried my face out, and the only thing that worked was the mask. My nose gets really
shiny, but I don't usually break out there. Ive started to get scars that are really annoying and I heard that bio-oil works. So right now im using bio oil on my scars and the tea-tree oil cleanser and moisturizer from the body shop.
But I was wondering if there is something that has worked well for you that can work for me?
I know you're supposed to drink lots of water but is there something else you can take to help?
&& do you have a special home remedy treatment I could try?
thanks in advance :))

ive used proactive…and i didnt think another benzoyl peroxide regimen would work for me but it has!
use it soo many people tell there success stories with it! follow the regimen precisely from starting with a small applications of benzoyl peroxide to increasing it which says on the guidelines…you will have clear skin!!! i didnt have cystic acne i had annoying one though….home remedys worked but to prevent acne
here is the regimen…you can use his products or the ones he recommends…i especially use his bp cause its the most bang for your buck :)
ill put the link in the source and link to success stories :)

My suggestion would be to go see a dermetologist because they can prescribe you a strong anti-acne med.

hey im a dancer too!
uhhm, so what i did was i got a facial from the spa and it really helped me clear up and the lady told me what is making me break out and everything, and so i thought it helped more than my dermatologist. sometimes no matter what you do its just your age that makes you break out all the time and it doesn’t mean your doing something wrong. if your face is drying up use a good moisturizer that wont make u break out. i use this brand called "aqua glycolic" and its clearing up mine. just be sure you dont pick your acne because that causes scars:( no matter how tempting it is to touch your face. also if you use hair products that can cause breakouts if the product touches your face or even if your hair is on your face all day and is holding hair product. when u wear foundation just make sure you wash it off after school or it will clog your pores! also, this sounds weird but if u have scabs and u put foundation on them they will dry up and fall off, weird. make sure your face is as clean as possible!!!
you should take the quiz: skinid.com. it is the SKIN ID website that has hayden patteniere on the commercials. even if you dont order anything from their website at least you know if you should use scrubs, toner, spot treatments, cleansers.. all that stuff:)
and it tells you how your face is and what you should do… :) i hope this helped.. i know exactly how you feel!!!!!

that happened to me in 8th grade. i started to break out everywhere.
i used Clinique’s 3 step program.
go to Nordstrom or Macy’s and they’ll explain to you how it worked.
it took about a month for it to clear up but it worked. now im just using different cleansers
for pimples that i get here and there.
dont touch your face and make sure your makeup doesnt clog pores.
