What over the counter cleanser helps with adult acne?
Alright, my husband used to see a dermatologist for his adult acne. Since he joined the military, the Army dermatologists have totally messed up his skin. They took him off of the antibiotics that were working and put him on something else. It totally irritated his skin and so he stopped treatment altogether. Does anyone out there know of a good over the counter cleanser and/or acne kit that works on this kind of acne?

What is the best (not to expensive) cream/moisturizer/cleanser to prevent wrinkles for people with adult acne?
I am 28 and just noticing my skin is changing. It's getting looser and more wrinkly but it's not too bad yet. I am also plagued with adult acne. Ugg! Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions on a facial regime?
Adult acne?
Does anyone know or have any home remedies for adult acne? My friend has tried everything from over the counter facial cleaners and so forth to actually seeing a dermatologist. She has been on actutane and it did nothing for her. I am wondering if there is any types of food she can eat (other then vitamin A) foods that will help clear her skin or any other concuctions that can help. Also does anyone know of the levulan procedures? how well do they work and are they worth paying 800 dollars per treatment?
I'm a 14 year old boy and I have a moderate case of acne. What's the best treatment for this?
I have acne on my chin, and both sides of my face. It's mainly red, a few whiteheads here and there but I only have blackheads on my nose. Proactiv doesn't work for me and I recently started using AcneFree but I found out it's an adult acne system. I am desperate to find something that will suit me. Everything works for me right away then fades or stops working after a while. I see Neutrogena has a ton of products and I don't really want to buy them all and figure which one's the best from there. Please someone tell me what's the best acne treatmen for early teenagers. Thanks!
I am using Proactive acne treatment for the first time. Has anyone had good results?
I have adult acne and am using Proactive acne treatment for the first time. I want my face to be flawless for my wedding next year and am hoping this will work.
Info about acne treatment with 2%Resorcinol and 8%Sulfur?
First time using it (instead of salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide) and it worked well!
It's a cream by Clearasil and labeled as "effective treatment for adult acne". What makes this especially effective for adult acne?
What exactly is Resorcinol and what's its function?
I know Sulfur dries out the acne but does it do anything else?
I know benzoyl peroxide ages the skin. Does this?
Dou you need to wear sunblock over this like benzoyl peroxide?
Why did the proactiv solution repairing lotion for acne treatments burn around my nose and cheeks?
I found a small bottle of proactiv solution Repairing Lotion for acne treatments in my drawer in the bathroom. I have a few zits, and there is one on my cheek right below my eye that is huge and it kinda looks like a boil, and IT WONT GO AWAY!!! I'VE HAD THAT HUGE BOIL-LIKE ZIT ON MY FACE FOR LIKE, A WEEK OR SOMETHING!!!! Anyways, so I put on the proactiv solution renewing cleanser for acne on that big one and I felt a few tiny tiny tiny zits around my nose and a few on my cheeks at the top. So I put alot of the repairing lotion around that area and after about, 30-40 seconds............IT BURNED!!!! Not that bad.....well..........yeah.....it was that bad! I showed my mom and she said to wash it off quickly. (All this stuff happened last night) Now, this stuff is expired. I found it from a long time ago but I wasn't sure if I should have used it or not... But I did. The expiration dates are here:
Repairing Lotion: EXP/02/09
Renewing Cleanser: EXP/05/09
Any help please? And maybe some tips to remove that annoying huge stubborn boil-like zit????? I already know the old home remedy for the toothpaste thing and how to use only white and plain toothpaste without gel.... Is the arm and hammer baking soda extra whitening mint flavored toothpaste ok to use in this situation? HELP? oh, I put the repairing notion on the big zit under my eye and when I woke up this morning, I washed all the creams off AND IT WAS RED ALL OVER!!!! It feels like it might have gotten irritated! Any help? PLEASE????

Is there an EFFECTIVE over-the-counter or home remedy treatment for adult acne?
I have tried Proactiv and AcneFree and Clearasil and Biore and Clean&Clear and Neutrogena. None of them worked after months of use. I am 23 and have had acne since I was 11. My insurance doesn't cover acne medication and it's really expensive, so that's not an option, unfortunately. My acne is severe, sometimes the pimples get so inflamed that they are more like a cyst and really painful. If I have one on my chin or around my mouth I cannot open my mouth all the way because the acne hurts so much. Do you know of an over-the-counter or home remedy for adult acne? Where can I find it and how expensive is it?
Who's got some home acne treatments?
I've got really bad adult acne. The doctor said it's cuz my liver can't clean my blood 100%. But there are ways to tone down my acne. What are some home made remedies you know?
I've tried honey and it works alright. But I'm not a fan of sleeping with stuff on my face. It's worked better than the 0 of meds I've used.
I'm in the sun constantly, I sweat all day, I some times rip zits open when I shave daily and I usually sleep on my side so half my face is covered by a pillow.
