How can I clear up my acne over the weekend?
Well I'm 14 and puberty is really kicking in.
I'm planning on cutting my long hair but the only thing thats really holding me back is that I have some pretty gross acne on my forehead that my bangs cover. I've been washing my fave for about 3 weeks and the stuff I use isn't helping very much. In the morning I put on Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleanser and after I use that i put on Clearasil ULTRA Vanishing Acne Treatment Cream and then i put on Clearasil ULTRA Scar Care Protecting Day Lotion. After school I use Clean & Clear again, then at night I put on Clean & Clear and the Vanishing Acne Treatment again but its not working too good. Are there any products I should use to help it go away fast? Or should I keep my routine?

Vodka on a Q-Tip…rub it on your acne, the alcohol drys it right out., Make sure your washing your face 2 -3 times a day with a anti-bacterial face wash too!

Proactiv and Oxe work really good. Try using those?

using rubbing alchohol or the proactive 3 step every night and morning

OXY PADS! or proactive. but that can get expensive.

i have this thing, it’s phenomenal, unfortunately I’m to lazy to get up and look up the name of it, but its kind of package with napkins like that you wash over the acne are and within minutes it will be gone..

Forget all those products. Tie hair back and go out in the sun. The sunshine is the very best treatment for acne!

Neutrogena Advanced Solutions (got mine at target for maybe $20) It comes with 3 different bottles, use the night time cream over night, and keep "dabbing" it on the zit itself. (And ofcourse use the whole kit as directed 2 times a day) I really like it, and my friend who has acne likes it too.

acne doesn\t go away for at least a couple of weeks don’t stress about it and keep a daily routine where you apply medication to it. Also if you want it gone faster no more pop, fatty foods, candy, anything with lots of sugar, and salt. eat salad and eat salty and sweet snacks in moderation this will help get rid of the acne. If the acne doesn’t go away after at least 2 weeks consult a doctor.

most of the over the counter stuff really doesn’t do much. The reason you have so much acne on your forhead is probably because of you long bangs, so if you cut your hair, it should clear up sooner or later. If this doesn’t work, see a dermatologist, they can prescribe some really effective stuff. Trust me, i’m seventeen and i’ve been dealing with acne for way too long now. Going out in the sun may help temporarily but it will only make it worse in the long run

i heard proactive work really well, but just make sure that when you run out, you’ll be able to get more right away. once you stop using it alot your acne just comes right back.
eating greasy foods could be another reason you have acne, or after p.e. take a quick shower just to clean all of the sweat off, ( thats a main cause of acne) or use a towel in the sink to wipe off some of the sweat
someone told me that putting a small dab of toothpaste before you go to sleep really works too. and i tried ice before. that helped me a lot. i put the ice in a bag and just set it on my face when i was watching tv. dont put ice on your face if yo r going out in a few minutes, cause then your face will be all red from the coldness.
hope this helps.

sounds like you sensitive to cleaners like me, DO NOT USE Proactive, or other harsh cleaners named before. i FOUND IT ONLY WORSENS it.
ask your mom for anitbotic, oral. then take it with water or pop open the pill, wet the powder in the capsul with water, and put paste on pimmple, let dry and wash off
also I use Aveeno Clear Complection line: the foammer, and on spot thing.
tan, get sun on there to clear it up
Use Neautragena Skin CLearing coverup on the pimples

Many people don’t know (maybe you do) but, long hair/bangs can cause acne…I am not sure if that is what yu were referring to…if you got you bangs cut there would be less oil from your hair touching yur face.
if yu REALLY don’t wanna cut your bangs, I suggest you pin yur bangs back while at yur home. Literally the second yur home clip them back. There is no need to impress your family in any way. lol. it’ll take away most oil.
Also, I suggest using oxy pads because they work for me BUTT not for everybody. It’s cheap too. (shoppers drug mart/walmart/target etc.)
ALSO, dont use a whole bunch of different stuff. ALlt hose chemicals are NOT good for you face.
ALSO, don’t constantly switch what yu use. I know you want to test it out BUT thats also not good for your face.
GOOD LUCK!!!!

Personally, I don’t like Clearasil products…I had bad experiences with them. Proactive was the product that worked really well for me (if used correctly).
You should keep the hair away from your face…the hair may aggravate the skin, and will rub oils from your hair onto your skin..be sure to wash your hair frequently.
Your routine is OK…seems like a bit much…
You should wash your face twice daily…three is okay I suppose if you’re using mild cleansers..but the stuff you’re using isn’t exactly mild…
(Washing it too much isn’t exactly a good thing).
If you’re finding the products aren’t working for you, I think you should try a new product to see if it works better.

k doing it to much is not good it will open ur pores and make it evn worse. ok get noxema its good. k u no the facewash looks lik lotion and its scentless (relle srry dont remebr the name but it starts with clear but its not clearisil) dermotoligist say it the best for your face. also for ur blackheads and blemishes get an remover(ill get u a link of wat it looks lik). dofor the noxema leave it for a while till it burns a bit then wash it off works great. also i no ur a boy but a facia must be done twice a week(give u alink for the perfect one leaves my skin great). and that shud do the best it can. but it cant fully clear ur face becauses this is just a stage u relle cant stop =[ but do ur best to keep ur face clean and looking well kept not lik wit a whole bunch of black and whiteheads there. and dont pick at them ull get acne scars. hope i helped =]

Your using to many products. so it’s like messing your skin up. just cut down to like 1 or 2. also in case you do pop your bumps, DON’T it just makes every thing worse and i always learn that the hard way lmao. i wear bangs to haha so i don’t care how i mess up my forehead. :P
