What is the best skin care facial product for severe acne?
Im am a teenager with severe acne/blackheads and oily skin type. For daily use, I wash my face with a light foam cleanser but it isnt doing much help for my acne. (I also use witch hazel toner) I have heard from many people that nutregena and proactive work realy well. But I have also heard that proactive has alot of chemicals in it that can OVER dry your skin. I usually wear makeup to school to hide my hideous face full of acnes. If any of you out there has had this experience and/or know a few things about treating acne, PLEAAAASE give me suggestions and any skin care products you recomend. Thank you so much and all your help is appreciated!
red/blue Light treatment for acne?
yesterday I've had a basic facial done and the aesthetician recommended I should have a series of 6 photo actif treatments (red/blue light) to help heal up my acne. This procedure would cost me 0. Is it worth the cost? I've tried all kinds of OTC acne products and have purchased some milder skin care products at the spa as well (also upon recommendation), but am wondering if the photo actif treatment will really make a difference. My skin shows healing of acne spots and does look better today.
Neither witch hazel nor tea tree oil products did anything to improve my skin.
I've been looking into the NatureBright Clarity Skin light appliance, but can't find any feedback on it (positive or negative)
ea, been to derm23 yr old male, long sufferer of rosacea many times, I need new insight and my own experience?
Had Rosacea since senior high. Ever since I've been seeing derm with some success but I always end up coming back, either the product stopped being effective, or product had recieved a ban from the FDA. Also did light therapy session with little improvement.
I've used atleast 6 different topical cream just for rosacea, all if not most contain some sort of steroid and other chemicals I am afraid to have on my skin in the long term.
My rosacea can get ugly, with not just flushing but also bumps and blemishes. The most difficult part to treat is the ones located under my lower eyelid because using certain topical creams can thin the skin, you know what that means, ladies.
September 2008 is when I took a risk. I switched all my skin-care products to all-natural including shaving. Either it was going to get better or worse. It did get better, in 10 minutes saw noticeable result on the mirror! I felt the debris from the roscea just slide away, I can feel it on the tip of my fingers. This natural regimen caught the rosacea at its very early stage before it became full-blown, overnight. Obviously, I am also aware about other conditions that may play a role in causing rosacea to appear.
But fast forward to today, combination of getting fever, exposure to wind all day, physical stress made me breakout into a more widesprea area under the lower eye. It seems uncontrollable with the stuff I've been using for more than 6 months. It's as if my rosacea adapted to this new forumala, like a virus mutating into someting else that resist current treatments. I dont know this is happening.
I just need to know if someone out there has had any success formulating their own regimen using natural products. I have very sensitive skin and also prone to acne and other skin-related issues like eczema and seborrea.
The products that I used for my face: Dessert Essence: Jojoba Oil, Burt's Bees: Tomato Soap, Dessert Essence: Tea Tree oil.
For my hair, I use various Burt's Bees hair products, they are 98-100% natural and provided some relief with seborea on the scalp. I could not risk using chemicals that tend to flow over my face as I shower.
Again if you found something that works for you that is all-natural skin-care products or have tips on how to deal with rosacea that not commonly found over the Internet, kindly share them.
Have you ever considered seeing a facialist or an esthetician to help you with your skin concerns?
If you have had facials, do you consider them a valuable resource in treating acne, blackheads, aging, dryness, etc? If you haven't considered facials, why not? Would you see a skin professional if you knew that doing so would dramatically improve your skin and educate you about which skin care products work and why, and which ones don't? Or would you have a facial if one would provide you with an incredibly relaxing and pampering experience, with the added benefit of improved skin appearance? Thank you so much for any answers!
Is T Zone Acne different from reg acne?
I was at the drug store the other day, talking to the lady there, I currently used Avene (Not AVENO) clearance K cleanser, and the acne spot treatment. She told me I should not be using this as I dont have acne, i have "T-zone" problems. She said its not the same. Can I use skin care products for acne, if Im just have a oily t zone that causes my acne? Ive gone through quite a few products before getting Avene, and its done the best so far, but im still not 100% happy. Instead of getting pimples, i just seam to have white heads all over. I started using a face exfoliating pad while washing my face, i havnt noticed anything, and also i start mositurizing, because i never did before as my face was always oily so i never found a use.

HOW DO I GET RID OF MY ACNE? (Skin care routines, Eating Habits, etc)?
Hi guys, I'm 13 and I have combination oily skin. (Oily on T-Zone and Normal on cheeks). I have moderate acne which are mostly on forhead but occasionally on random areas like nose or chin. I usually have a handful of pimples at a time and once they start getting better, new ones emerge.-_-
The skin care products i've used before are: AcneFree (horrible), Clinique 3-step type 2 (did the job, didnt rly rid any acne. but i think i should have gotten type 3), Neutrogena wave (good), Saint Ives Scrub (really good at first, now it is okay), Clearasil Rapid acne treatment (good at first, now it doesnt work.) IVE FOUND THAT ALOT OF TREATMENTS I TRY WORK GREAT IN THE BEGINNING THEN IT STOPS.
I really want to clear up my skin before school starts next year (im gonna be a freshman), so what skin care regimens/ eating habits should I use that will quickly clear up my skin?? (Please don't give me home remidies that you make yourself because I never use those :) )
THANK YOU!!!! I REALLLY APPRECIATE IT!!!
How do I get rid of red acne scars?
What are some items at home I can use to get rid of red acne scars? I tryed putting acne cream (zapzyt) on, then dermectin (scar treatment) on my face after I shower, and it dosen't seem to be working. What else can I use that would work?
I can't afford a dermatologist and I don't have any money to buy skin care products.
Is there a good skin care product that will clear skin while improving the health of your skin?
I've noticed that most skin care products are used to treat only acne, or only aging/wrinkles. Are there any products that combine both? I tend to have greasy skin, but it dries out VERY easily with certain products. It's very dry during winter months, but greasier during summer. I also have VERY large pores.
I was looking at "Natural Advantage" skin care line, but don't know if it'll be an effective acne treatment? I want HEALTHY, YOUNG looking skin as well as CLEAR skin. Any suggestions?
Any suggestions for how to get rid of and prevent acne and acne marks?
As a teenager, I get acne. Now, it's actually getting worse. It has spread to my cheeks... and no matter what expensive cream I use, it's still there. I even watch the food I eat. Any suggestions; skin care products, creams, or anything that involves acne-vanishing? Thanks for helping. :)
