What can I do that will work to help with my acne??
I have tried everything on the market seems like for acne and nothing is working! I am 32 years old and am still dealing with this...I am taking Amoxicillin and using Clyndamycin topical gel and it's doing nothing...My dermatologist just keeps putting me on antibiotics and I do understand that is really the only thing that will help cystic acne but it's not helping me ...Each day I wake up I have new ones...I have even tried home rememdies... I am really frustrated! I do not want to leave the house! I feel like everyone is looking at my face thinking "eww look at that girl's face"....I just want clear,supple looking skin...
Does anyone have any opinions on what to do????
I seriously have tried: Proactive Solution, Ance Free, Neutrogena, Melaluca products, Clean and Clear, Noxema, Aveeno, Oil of Olay, spot treatments,steaming the face, exfoliating regularly...I'm at my wits end! I can not afford to get peels or laser treatments...
Sorry for posting about acne again..

My husband and I are drinking MonaVie and it has been helping with acne and everything else. My husband has had acne since 10 years old and after taking MonaVie, 4 oz a day, for a month, his zits and most redness has gone away.
MonaVie is a nutritional beverage made of 19 different fruits, the main ingredients being the acai berry, from the amazon. Since the juice has so many antioxidants, it helps your body heal itself from diseases, infections, fungus, and many other things. You can go to youtube and type in MonaVie to see many testimonies. If you are interested in learning more, you can also go to http://www.mymonavie.com/regarcia. Good luck and wish you the best.

Have you tried Clearasil yet? That works REALLY well. It clears up most acne within 5 days of use.

I use La Roche-Posay, you can get it at shoppers. It works for me. Its a very light cream and it may take a month for results but it is very good for your skin.

ok, well I’m not saying this is the problem but it might help.
Have you tried changing your diet?
The foods we eat do affect our skin. Try incorporating more fruits n veggies and even nuts. I’ve heard walnuts help with clearer skin. And you could try 2 drink detox tea, to release wastes n other things from your body

drink Lots of filtered water, dont eat or drink sugar(no sodas). i think the expensive treatments all have basic stuff in them. just get peroxide, witch hazel.100% aloe vera gel.all very cheap.dont ever touch your face with dirty hands, or pick. the sulfer mask from proactive helps. exersice without makeup on. dont wear makeup or use the mineral kind if you have to(bare minerals) make your own scrub(sea salt, baking soda,bottled water) go to a health food store and get vitamins. i have heard a water filter for your shower helps. eat lots of fruit and veggies.bentonite clay from health food store.good luck

I have really oily skin and have had acne for about twenty years. It was worse when I was younger, but now I keep it under bay using the clnique anti blemish range. I wear make up all day long and when I come home at night, I give my face a good clean. I normally moisturise at night and then use the anti blemish gel. It’s brill. Dries the spots up really good. Sometimes it can really dry the skin if you use this for two or three days in a row, but if you moisturise before you apply it, you can get the balance right. It is about £12.00 for the gel. Don’t be put off by the price though. It lasts ages and it’s really concentrated. They have quite a lot of products in the anti-blemish range, but this one is one of the better ones.

I suggest you stay well away from the drugs and try natural treatements.
Kefir a natural, God given, pro-biotic to fix skin problems and many many more ailments http://www.kefir.org/kefir_manual.htm. For very detailed information visit http://users.chariot.net.au/~dna/kefirpage.html You could call it natures Roaccutine. A testimonial http://messageboards.makemeheal.com/viewtopic.php?p=501016 I’d also visit this persons youtube videos on acne http://www.youtube.com/user/highonhealth In my humble opinion Kefir is the best though. Make sure you look for the authentic Caucasian Kefir culture grain, which multiply in milk, for best results, and not the commercial "Kefir" which don’t multiply because they have been manipulated . From Barry Hilton who has been using Kefir for many years. Acne and Excema Treatment: Drink half a litre daily; moreover, rub some (36/48 hrs fermentated Kefir Cultured Milk) into the affected areas. LEAVE CRUST (which forms) dry and do not remove at night. Clean off the following morning. Even some cases of severe excema heals after 4 days and you will be amazed how quickly it will treat Acne. (18/24 hrs fermented Kefir Culture Milk).
If you can’t get your Kefir right away try this: Some people have had success with this combo, they mix some Baking Soda with a little water to make it flow and rub it gently over the affected area, they leave it on for about 3 minutes (some people leave it on up to an hour) before they wash it off with water. Then they get one tablespoon of Apple cider vinegar in half a glass of water and rub that over the affected area with a cotton bud, then they finish by applying some Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
