How to make acne go away REALLY fast? (school's on Thursday!)?
I can't see the dermatologist because it's already too late, and I can't buy any more products cause I have a lot except they never worked (and I tried them all this summer).
I have acne on my forehead (blackheads, pimples, SCARS), on my cheeks (faint dark freckle-looking, blackheads, one big pimple that look purple-ish), on my chin (just pimples), and on my upper lip (a scar, a blackhead, pimples).
So please help me! I'd appreciate any answer that can help!!

How do i get rid of these tiny ugly whitheads?
So these little guys only show up when ever i "stretch" my skin. Like when i smile, you can see a ton of tiny ugly whiteheads. At least, more than ten. Also, i have some acne near my nose. Under my nose? Like near my nostrils but on my upper lip. How can i get rid of them? I ALSO have some on the side crevice of my nose, and on top! I used benzoyl peroxide before, and i switched to salicylic acid face wash . I do use moisturizer, i eat right... My face is clear, but those areas. Whenever i get a pimple its usually where i have the whiteheads.. Do you know any home treatment? Or any cheap products? I do exfoliate by the way... Please help.. Thanks for taking the time to see what i gotta say...
What is the best product for my acne & fading acne scars for my skin type?
My skin is super oily, I'm a stress case and I don't eat as healthy as I should. (my skin does dry out a little bit in winter)
I drink gallons of water every day.
I have old acne scars & current adult acne. My acne is not as bad as some--but enough to bother me. The scars are pretty bad.
My skin tone is very uneven. To add to it all, my birth control pills caused a tan line on my upper lip.
I wear make-up about 3 times a year and wash about 2x daily with either cetephil or phyosderm. I've been applying Clean & Clear spot treatment all over.
In the summer, I sweat gallons at my job--though I do wipe down my face with plain cold water now & then throughout the day. Don't sweat so much in the winter!
With my skin type, what is the best you have tried to help fade acne scars?
What is the best product to keep current acne under control?
TYPE OF ACNE--white heads on chin, at corners of mouth. Regular breakouts of normal zits with occasional monster size zits that take about 3 wks or more to go away. These Godzilla zits are fairly new with me--they don't develop a head or ozze anything--they just sit there, big, red, and sore feeling.
I cannot afford to go to a dermatologist although if an expensive product is recommened, I might be able to get that at Christmas time.
I'm open to home remedies, however I doubt my diet will change much. I do indulge in fruit often and take Calcium, D, B complex & C
(I stopped taking vitamin E because I heard it could speed up lung cancer in smokers--yep I'm a smoker too. No good for the skin; been trying to quit for the past month)
I'm not looking for "I have heard" or "look into this"
What have you tried yourself that works--or what has a friend tried that you have seen works?
I cannot afford to waste time & money on experimenting
I really would appreciate any feedback about products/home remedies that are tried & true
have I steamed my face? I work at a dry cleaners so I get daily facial steams! ha ha
Also, if a home remedy is recommended that invloves making pastes, squeezing fruits--I probably wouldn't do that. I'm too lazy to make magic potion daily. :-D Easier to grab a bottle/jar out of bathroom cupboard
SEVERE blackheads and blocked pores!?
Ok, I'm 15 and ever since the 5th grade (I was 9 at the time) I have not had one acne-free day. I have always had most bumps on my forehead and always got made fun of because I was the only kid in elementary school to have acne. By 6th grade I had huge blackheads. Then, two years ago, I started taking a homeopathic acne pills. Most of my big bumps are gone, I have some very tiny bumps on my forehead, and the occassional zit, but I've learned to be happy wiht that. My problem is blackheads and blocked pores. I used to have nice, tight pores before acne, I remember, my mom told me it's the oil and dirt in there that stretched out my pores. Now, on my forehead, nose, cheeks, chin, and above my upper lip (pretty much everywhere) I have huge blackheads and blocked pores. The pills did not help with that. My blocked pores are huge, people can actually stand a a few feet away from me and see how big they are, the biggest ones on my cheek. Ok, I'll continue my question below!
I have tried literally everything. Neutrogena, Clearasil, Clean and Clear, Proactiv, Murad, Biore scrubs and pore strips, I’ve tried St. Ives, I use oil blotting sheets, I’ve tried Using oil-free moisturizers and cleansers, I’ve tried salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, I’ve even tried Neosporin. I’ve tried only using a mild soap, mild soap and moisturizers, medicines, scrubs, and professional Glycolic Acid peels. If it’s in the skincare aisle, I’ve tried it. I wash my face twice a day, every day and have good hygiene. I never even wear foundation or powder so I won’t clog them any more! My skin seems to not respond to anything. I’m sick of my horrible skin and I want to know what else I can do! HOW can I get rid of these horrible blocked pores and blackheads? I’m tired of people making comments about my horrible skin! Please help, I’m so frustrated!
how can you get healthy looking skin?
i'm very concerned and yet sometimes very jealous that people have better skin than me . i have pimple scars around my upper lip area nd chin . but the weird thing is that when i look in the mirror i don't see the pimple scars . & my pimple scars aren't bad but they just bother me cause when i talk people might be looking at my acne scars rather than me talking . i don't have that much pimples anymore but they pop out like a few days before i have my period . i have naturally oily skin . i've tried pretty much a lot of drug store products such as clean and clear, neutrogena , cetaphil, st. ives , and olay . but yet i've used my sisters clean and clear acne treatment, & it worked amazingly :] but now i need to clear my acne scars & have my skin looking healthy . *please help* .
Why do I get recurring pimples in the same spot?
I have two pimples that keep coming back in the same exact spots, one on my forehead and the other right above my upper lip. No matter what kind of cleanser or acne treatments I use, it still takes over 4-5 weeks to get rid of them when they pop up. The one above my lip has been there for over 4 months and I thought it was an ingrown hair but once I finally popped it, pus came out and it went down a little bit. The one on my forehead pops up every 2-3 months and doesn't get red, just a large blemish. I have dry screen and my daily face regimen is a mild cleanser followed by a good, heavy moisturizer applied multiple times a day and a weekly facial scrub.
how can I get rid of acne quickly? need major assistance?
I have this national conference in 10 days, and I want to look good for it. I'm an 18 year old male who works out 5 days a week and I'm currently on the Exposed acne treatment, but I'm on day 11 and it doesnt seem to have done really anything. I was on Proactiv for 9 months, which worked wonders, and then it seemed to stop using it/I got concerned after it didnt work well for a couple days so I stopped using it right away. I've tried baking soda scrubs/moisturizer, the la roche posay biomedic wash and effaclar k and effaclar ai spot treatment, and while that didnt really make the problem worse, it didnt really help either.
It just seems like I keep going in circles and I can't get anything to work for me. My acne is mainly on my chin and above my upper lip. It's just driving me crazy and I can't seem to shake it and I want to look good you know? I have a good body and I know the girls want that but with my face it makes me concerned...and college starts in 2 months :O after I work out I shower and during the workout if I'm real sweaty I rinse my face with water
please help. any suggestions/solutions that can have me not necessarily perfect, but relatively clear, in ~10 days? or should I keep believing in exposed
Chelsea T - do you think I should abandon the exposed system after the 11 days or whatever and go to the clean and clear? and whats your regimen that you use for that?
ohjeez- if my skin has been dry, but now seems ok cuz of the exposed stuff and using cetaphil moisturizer before that, what should i be doing? and what was your skin care regimen for the wash?
Is the Proactiv Solution Skincare line really worth it?
I'm a teenager and dealing with bad skin.. bahahah.
& of course. I haate it.
I've tried numerous clean & clear, neutrogena, aveeno, and even more types of products specially designed for acne, and oily skin.
but none of it really works out well for me..
And of course, I always watch those commericails with Jessica Simpson in it sponsering Proactiv, but seriously, does it work?
I have:
- Many blemishes, pimples, blackheads on my forehead
- Few blemishes above my upper lip
- Few blemishes/ pimpes on my chine
- Few blemishes around my cheeks
- & I have oily/ shiny skin
Here are a few questions:
- Have you tried Proactiv and would you reccomend it?
- What exactly should I be looking towards: Renewing Cleanser, Revitalizing Toner, Reparing lotion, Proactiv® Solution 3-Step System plus Refining Mask and Oil-Free Moisture with SPF 15,
Mild Exfoliating Peel, Daily Oil Control, Deep Cleansing Wash and Advanced Blemish Treatment.. there's a lot of products!
- How much is it?
- Is it effective? Quickly?
- If you do not reccomend proactiv, then what works for you and what you would reccomend for me?
- And please feel free to add anything else about proactiv or any other effective skin products, and link, and videos would be greatly appreciated.
