bad acne? what to do/use?
well i've had pimples since like 5th grade, and in almost 14 now. i've used soooo many products, some work a little but still not great. and i have oily sensitive skin, so i'm not sure if using harsh products make me break out more? and currently i'm using this avon salylic acid 2% wash and treatment, it works pretty well but i still break out sometimes. should i try using the avon stuff AND a gel benyzol peroxide cleanser? would that irritate my skin? i really dont know what to use people say so many differnt products!
oh, and my parents wont let me go to a derm :/
I need advice on an acne laser treatment?
I have mild/moderate acne and have been given numerous meds n nothing works so my derm told me to take the pill and also recommended Aesthera Isolaz ...I'm pretty sketchy of both however I was willing 2 try the Isolaz which is photoneumatic treatment but all ive been finding on the internt are a bunch of testimonials and solicitations and no REAL input from people...If anyone has gotten this treatment please respond soon! Does it remove hair? Does the acne return if so how long before it does and @ what intensity...will itr dry out my skin and cause wrinkles? will it worsen acne @ first? How many treatments are typically nec? is 5 2 expensive? also does it leave scars??does it remove scars?? My dad is extremely skeptical of the procedure what will make him change his mind? also do doctors recieve a commision on this cuz there's so much solicitation and no critacism? please help thanks!!! additionally please don't copy n paste s/t from another website bec ive seen almost all of them.
Acne treatment plan – causing extremely dry skin.?
Background INfo: Pretty bad acne scattered around my face, 15 yrs old 125 lbs 5'7.5 male
I went to the derm and was prescribed an antibiotic pill for morning and night and Bensaclin (topical gel) and Retin-a (.5%). I am pale and have pretty sensitive skin.
Third day using the products, and I know it takes 6-8 weeks to see any result, but w ill I get results... anyways..
I get home, wash face, take a shower, get out, look at my face and its dried out and flakey all over and "peely" like I am recovering from a BAD sunburn look. I've been using a moisturizer TWICE a day to keep my face not too dried out and its not cutting it.
Is this normal? Should I start using 1 product a day (derm said to do if it gets too bad)? Or is this a common effect when you start using retin-a?*
I also use a very non drying cleaner for my face.. any advice in general on anything i've said in this post would be appreciated.. Also keep in mind im going to school (all boys though:P) thanks!
opening and closing pores???
okay i just got an acne spot treatment from my derm. i usually wash my face with warm water, pat dry it and then put the spot treatment.
soo... im pretty confused.. do i wash my face, with my cleanser, with hot (not extremely hot) water. then close my pores with cold water/ ice, then put my acne spot treatment??
or.... do i wash my face with hot water, and not close my pores and just add the spot treatment to my open pores?
sorry if im confusing you.... just wondering
How to get rid of MY acne?
I know that everyone have different skin types, and are different ages, but I just need some help before I spend money going to a dermatologist, when I figured I could get some helpful results right here. So here it goes:
* I'm ALMOST 17 years old.
* I haven pimples on my face ALL the time, but they are not acne.
* I use Loreal Go 360 Clean everynight, with Pimple Gel treatment(sylic acic, benzoyl peroxide, and such). In the morning I use Clean&clear morning burst facial wash.
*I use Olay(derm-approved moisturizer) and apply with upmost safety.
*I wear minimal make, eat heahty, excersise, drink water.
*Im not stressed, and I get my pimples everyday, not just when I'm on my menstrual cycle.
My acne won't go away, and I'm really wondering whats up. Please Help Me!? Any product(at walmart) that you might suggest, and home remidies tips, tricks.
Thankyou :)
