Does anyone have tips for acne?
I really need to get rid of my acne. Most treatments either make my skin dry, or just don't work. It's getting a little better now that I've had the clean&clear advanced solutions thing, but it's not working too great anymore. Proactiv didn't work, the new Neurogena dries out my skin. Is there anything that will help me get rid of/avoid acne? Some say there's foods that can help, or something like that. Idk, I just need any tips please. Thankyou!

murad did wonders for me, but it also dried my skin…so after 2 months i only used it in the morning at night i would use honey….Use warm cloth to open pores, smear on honey, leave on 15 to 30 minutes, rinse off with warm water, and then use cold water to close pores. Use for 3 days in a row and then once a week. Sometimes I mix a little gound oatmeal with the honey, which makes a great mask. the best this about honey is that u can use it 5 to 6 days a weeks…
ONLY 1 TO 2 TIMES A WEEK
use egg whites. Just beat one egg white until it is frothy. Spread it all over your face. Wait until it dries. Rinse it off. My face feels very clean and "tight" after this application…
Dont over do it with the egg white….it will dry u r skin like hell ….Good luck and let me know if it worked for u

Be sure to be washing ur face every nite if u wear make up. I prefer using neutrogena oil free acne wash or the neutrogena wave. but since those dont work for you u could try watching ur diet.like peanuts they give you acne. at least thats wat i have heard. i really did hope i helped

You may want to go to your doctor, you may need stronger meds than what is out there in the stores. I use Proactiv and that works, but I’ve known people who have had worse acne than me and it didn’t work for them. I would go to your doctor and see what they can offer.

oh please foods do not affect acne that is such bs. i just went on accutane. best descision of my life. hadnt had a zit for 5 years and i can skip washing my face when im in a hurry or too lazy but its not something you decide on a whim when your getting a checkup. you have to take pregnancy and blood tests every month for 5 months typically sometimes longer if your acne’s more severe. and you have to have at least moderate acne to be on it in the first place

Sometimes if you put to many different chemicals on your face it makes it worse. Maybe if you let your skin breathe for a couple weeks it will clear up a bit.(as in don’t wash with face cleansers or soaps…..just pure water) Personally I tried Proactive and all it did for me is burn and really dry out my skin. I use clean and clear deep cleansing everyday or every other and it works great for me. I will tend to do Queen Helen mint julip mask every week also. That mask helps with your problem areas and makes your pimples smaller, softer skin, cleans and shrinks your pores, gets rid of blackheads, and helps control the oil. Good Luck and let me know how it goes.

I had really bad acne for a long time.
The best thing to do it so leave it alone (don’t pick). Drink lots of water, because some say that it can flush out the toxins causing the acne. Wash your face twice a day and with a soapy washcloth, very gently scrub your face. It will take a long time, but you will reverse the acne if you keep it up.

to be `100 percent honest i had some of the worst acne growing up starting in about 7th grade and the only thing i found to truly help was my diet..a lot of water no greasy foods and eat a lot of fruit..and NO CHOCOLATE…your just going to waste your money on trying a million different face washes so find one you really like and hopefully in just a week;s time you’llnotice a big difference on your face

my sister had the same problem as you have. she has used proactiv, prescriptions and lots and lots of other stuff. then my mom was at work and was talking to her coworker and her son had used this Zinc for Acne stuff (which are like skin vitamins) and his acne cleared up and is still gone. my sister is now using it too and i can see a difference. i dont know if it will work for you but its worth a try :) oh and the stuff is called Zinc for Acne and you can get it at Vitamin World, and you just take two tablets a day :)
hope this helps :)
