u could go to google and type in how to get rid of acne.
but u could try putting lemon juice and ice on ur face. it works 
What do you think? Answer below!
noxzema!! i use it its magical L0l but no seriously it works
apply lemon juice on your skin with a cotton ball. vineger also helps (though it stings a little).
toothpaste (yes, toothpaste) is good for spot treatement. the zit reduces in one night. just apply toothpaste on the zit at night and go to bed.
u just have to make sure that u buy a face wash that has salicylic acid.. that helps alot
Pro active or mary kay http://www.marykay.com/skincare/cleansers/default.aspx
Well if you wear makeup, make sure you wash it all off before you go to bed. Try using a face wash, it always helps. And putting toothpaste, men’s cologne, lemon juice all help with zits. So you can try that! I’ve also heard that olive oil is very good for the skin, but I don’t know for sure if it will work with getting rid of the zits asap. But good luck!
First, by scars, do you mean actual scars (changed texture and elevation, i.e. lumps and holes), or just discolorations? Discolorations will eventually go away on their own; scars will not. You can buy gels and lotions at the drugstore to reduce their appearance–or, if you’re rich, you can get laser treatment.
For the acne itself, I’d try a system like ProActiv. It isn’t terribly cheap, but it makes a huge difference pretty quickly. It involves a cleanser, a toner and repair gel.
This product is really good http://www.shopcleanandclear.com/product_detail.asp?T1=CNC+ADVANTAGE+PLAN&channelFull=09CNCSGGLBADV01&gclid=CIvTjbG2tZwCFVlM5Qod3SAHoA&. if you don’t want to buy it online rite aid or cvs should sell it.
It really depends on your skin, different products work differntly on peoples skin. Someimes you just have to try and move on. Ive tried everything from Pro-active to Murad Acne Complex. Murad actually works pretty well. Its almost like proactive (a 3 stem system). I got tired of ordering it tho. You could also stop by sephora/ go on the website and order clinique’s 3 step acne system. That worked for me well. Good luck tho.
I recommend a cleanser. I had white heads all over my face and a couple pimples, so I used Centaphil. In only, like, a week or 5 days, my pimples were totally gone, my white heads vanished, it was amazing. I got it at Bartel Drugs, I think. It isn’t very clear on how to apply it, so if you do:
- You can either cleanse your skin with or without water
- I usually do it without water, by simply applying a smooth layer (thick or thin is your choice, but thick takes more time for your skin to absorb) and letting it sit. My skin always absorbs it and it feels so smooth and nice
- I tried it with water once, I was confused. What I did was do the same thing as without water, but a couple minutes after applying, rub hot water on it.
It’s very inexpensive, and it also treats sunburns. I hope I helped, and really it’s so great, I love it. I hope I helped!
First take some water and salt,mix it.
Take q-tip or cotton ball and dip it in the salt water,
put it on the pimple,wait about a minute.
Change different cotton balls for each one.
ORR,
Wash your face about 4-5 times a day.
DO NOT POP YOUR PIMPLE,IT WILL CAUSE A SCAR.
you could get a facial and it will make your skin look a little healthier. but the toothpaste thing dries out the pimple so it basically goes away. oh and you can go to a doctor to get prescribed acne treatment. i mean if your acne is severe you might need a doctors help. and there always is make-up ;P
Hun, I know exactly how you feel I’ve been battling acne for 2 years and trust me I was about to give up! I seriously tried dozens of products but nothing worked. Then once I went on this site called Acne.org and I saw this treatment that worked for many acne sufferers and I’m like why not try it? The kit comes in large, medium, and small travel size. I ordered the small kit to try it out. I was so amazed at how fast my acne was going away it’s crazy! You should really try it. I bought it on this site: http://www.danielkern.com/category-s/25.htm
There’s also alot of info about acne on that site. I wish you luck! I know that soon you’ll have clear skin!
I have read an article from dr. james brown. Well, you can get some ideas from him.. http://ezinearticles.com/?Revitol-Acnezine—Your-Only-Way-For-Acne-Free-Skin!&id=2787462
Acne lotions could help people troubled by acne in smoothening their skin and bringing back the youthful glow they used to have.
The emergence of an acne become the reason for some business-minded people to come up with products that would help solve the problem. People are dying to get out of the acne scare while businessmen aimed at providing what is best for those who need their help.
Nowadays, the market to acne cure is changing. Businesses offer acne gels, acne facial cleansers and acne lotions that could help us prevent the problem. You may choose from these products to enable you to achieve best results.
I know this sounds crazy but its been working for me. It was in the Dear Abby section of the Florida Today paper a few days ago. This boy had bad acne and tried every possible acne cream and treatment and 3 doctors. Nothing work. They spent 1000′s of dollars. Finally a friend told them to try Phillips Milk of Magnesia. That is known as laxitive medicine. His face cleared up in a about a few days to a week. Another girl tried this and it successfully worked. I am trying it and its been like two days and the top portion of my acne is gone. Make sure you do keep proper hygiene by showering, that makes a big difference.
i understand your situation personally..i would definitely recommend
1. benzoyl peroxide 5% wash, because it really helps prevent pimples from re-appearing. you would somewhat see slight peeling of your skin but that’s how it works..it helps regenerate your skin.however you should apply a very very limited amount.
2. drink plenty of water. i mean it.plenty as in at least 10 cups of water. it really REALLY helps regulate your skin.
3. SLEEP..at least 8 hours a day..its an essential factor. because stress is one of the major causes of breakouts.
4. exercise, go for a run, get your oxygen flowing.
5. organic honey..optional but definitely helps smooth-en your skin after applying benzoyl peroxide.
yup that’s about it. this is what i have been doing and i really witnessed results in about 4 days..and now for one straight week, not a single new pimple on my face,just very light remains of previous breakouts) but absolutely a huge improvement. Good luck!
im not one for home remideies but my acne got so bad i tried the lemon juice thing and it really does work, hope i helped! =]
god bless
According to most acne specialists, the most important factor in treating acne is to start treatment early, before it becomes widespread. The first type of acne treatment which sufferers try is usually one of the many over the counter acne medications, such as Persa-gel or Stridex, which reduce the amount of bacteria on the skin. Often these acne products have little or no effect, and the next stage is a prescription acne treatment, usually a topical antibiotic cream or oral antibiotics such as erythromycin or tetracycline. Watch the following video created by medical professionals to know the best methods of getting rid of Acne.
okay this will sound totally crazy but use toothpaste and rub it on ur acne, i use this technique my self.
i know, ppl r going to say ” toothpaste is for ur teeth, not skin!” but what does toothpaste do for ur teeth? … CLEANS IT! yes! it cleans it, exactly what u want to do for ur skin, clean it! so put toothpaste on ur acne. it WILL BURN, but that means its cleaning it. another way , which u might not personally want to do, but become a vegetarian, when ur a vegetarian, ur not eating as much grease, which is what Alot of meat is containing…grease! i am a vegetarian, and have been one for over 3 months, i had horrible acne before, and now its clearing up, amazingly and its almost all gone, i use both techniques… 1) toothpaste, 2) vegetarian. try them… i promise , ur acne will clear up.
Well about acne, what I know is that many people struggle when it comes to getting rid of acne scars. In truth, there are a number of different methods that can be implemented in order to clear up your skin. Acne scars can prove embarrassing, but you do not have to live with scars and feel socially uncomfortable.
The length of time you will need to rely on any kind of acne scar natural remedy or over-the-counter treatment will be directly affected by the severity of the scarring. Mild to moderate scarring can be successfully treated with over-the-counter treatments and/or natural treatments, but more severe forms of scarring may require that you visit an aesthetician, dermatologist, or physician.
Vitamin supplementation of any of the main vitamins containing a lot of antioxidants can help diminish acne scars. Such vitamins include vitamins A, C, and/or E; you can consume such vitamins in capsule form on a daily basis as the packaging directs. All three of the above-mentioned vitamins kill off free radicals in the body which tend to damage cell structures. Vitamin E is also available in oil form, and it can be directly applied to your acne scars to diminish the intensity of scarring too.
Inexpensive, over-the-counter applications containing alpha hydroxyl acid, beta hydroxyl, or retinol work equally well in helping acne scars to fade away, especially one that I personally recommend is Acnezine (link of FREE trial offer in the source box). Provided you do not have ultra-sensitive skin, these products can be carefully used as described on the packaging to diminish unsightly scars and to restore your skin to normal.
i used to have acne all over my face, chest, and shoulders. it was horrible, but if you want a sure fire way to get rid of acne get accutane. of course this is only if you have it bad, but its sure to clear your acne. i can’t take it anymore since my dermatolagist said i don’t need it but she also gave me a new topical cream, epiduo (its on commericals right now) it truly does work. literally last night i had 2-3 pimples on my cheek, i applied it and this morning i woke up and they were gone. i love the stuff an swear my life on it cause my face is always clear.
i doubt acne will go out in a week.
it depends on the type of acne that is there, if the acne is more like a skin discoloration, then it can be hidden in makeup, if the acne is more like a disfiguration of the skin, then you probably need to have a cosmetic surgery or a cosmetic surgery alternative.
