I have some acne that i would like to due away with but i%26#039;m not sure if this product would work cause the pimple is like big and red but no signs of the head yet. Will the product work?|||yes it is very safe and they work great worth every penny i have one and it works better at the first sign of a pimple ya know the red ones once the pimple comes to head the Zeno is not as affective|||i%26#039;d recommend proactive!|||Yes all acne products are safe. but not all are effective.





i don%26#039;t know about Zeno





i used to have bits of acne now i have none, at least on my face. i mostly have crap on my back, but not the yellow oozy pimple kind the other kind the reddish crap.





Proactive is about as bad as it gets I used it and I think it made my acne worse. I stopped using it and it went away on its own months after i stopped! I think its a good product but the benzoyl peroxide is the same as all the others out there. basically the other ingredients are good in proactive but the benzoyl peroxide is the same as all the others so you%26#039;re basically getting ripped off unless you like the other formulations. i bought extra of the sulfur face mask (the last step) sometimes i skipped steps and put that on asap it was so cool... failing everything else i didnt rinse the mask off and it made my face look more white and clear it was awesome!|||I%26#039;m sure it will work fine, nothing will be ingested in your body so you have nothing to worry about. Unless of course an unplanned allergic reaction. If you feel warmth or %26#039;burning%26#039; like an icy hot. That means it%26#039;s working.

Is laser acne treatment only for if you have acne scars?

because i dont hae any scars but i have acne and would like it to be gone. Will laser treatment work ?|||I reckon Neutrogena Acne Wash is the best over the counter treatment to treat acne with. A product called ProActive tends to irritate the skin, and for most does not do anything at all. For any acne treatment, it will take time, and the products Clearasil or Seabreaze are also good for long term benefits.

What is the best acne treatment?

I never use to break out easily, maybe one pimple at a time. Now I%26#039;m breaking out more often, and I do, mostly around my nose. I use a face wash and astringent everyday, but it doesn%26#039;t seem to work. Any suggestions?|||Well,I do have terrible acne and I found that my skin type is sensitive skin and it makes me harder to find the right products that I could use to reduce my acne.That is when I tried Clinique 3 Steps Skincare Regime and it really works for my acne and now I have less breakouts after 3 months usage and I only need to work on my scars from my previous acne to improve my skin complexion.Since Clinique 3 Steps works for all skin types,I would recommend you to try this product since it has the basics of skincare regime and work wonders on your skin.However,you could also try these homemade remedies if you want to improve your chance of healing.Good luck trying these at home(:

All you need is about one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and about half of it nutmeg powder. Add some honey to make enough paste to cover the inflammed area completely.

Well,these are the remedies that work gentle on your skin while getting rid of acne.Hope this helps and great skin wishes|||Hello.





Hope you are fine.


Acne is a common problem faced by almost all teen-agers and youth. What is acne and why do we get them. Acne is actually caused because of hormone imbalance. Your skin breaks out because of a hormone called testosterone. Both men and women have testosterone in their systems. In fact, did you know that in order to make testosterone, boys bodies have to make female hormones first? If you have acne, you haven%26#039;t got abnormal levels of testosterone. You%26#039;ve got skin that reacts abnormally to this hormone. You start producing testosterone around the time you start sprouting body hair. Testosterone tells glands in your skin, called sebaceous glands, to produce oily stuff called sebum. To add to the problem the inside of the tubes that hold each hair become gummy and get partially blocked - giving you blackheads. Put together if sebum blocks the tubes --- you have big acne.


So go to your pharmacist or doctor to get your acne treated. Here are a few tips that will help you know how to treat acne at home.





1. If you have red angry looking acne, don%26#039;t touch it. If you squeeze now, all you%26#039;ll do is force the contents deeper into the skin that will make matters worst. And all you%26#039;ll end up with is redder, angrier acne than you had before. Don%26#039;t do it.





2. If you have a yellow custard top? Go for it. These beauties CAN be squeezed but there%26#039;s an art to it. Here%26#039;s how. Wash your hands thoroughly to avoid trouble and infection. Put a tissue over your finger. Why? Because you want the contents of the spot on the tissue, not splattered all over the mirror. Using the side of your thumb and the end of your finger, very gently start to squeeze. Don%26#039;t whatever you do, use your nails as this will damage your skin. Stop when you%26#039;re applying a lot of pressure and nothing is happening and you see clear fluid, rather than yellow grotty stuff and the spot begins to bleed. When you%26#039;ve finished dab it with antiseptic. Once the custard bit is out, the spot will heal more quickly than an unsqueezed yellow top would, providing that you now leave it well alone. Now wash your hands again.





3. Whiteheads and blackheads. If acne is left untreated they may cause this problem. Here the rule is if they%26#039;re black, squeeze but if they%26#039;re small, white raised lumps leave them alone. All that stuff about clean hands, tissues and stopping if nothing is happening or you see blood, apply here too.








8 Tips to Treat Acne at Home:

Hope this helps you . Thank you.|||My mom is a dermatologist (if u don%26#039;t know that%26#039;s like a skin doc) and what works is using a facial scrub (anything you%26#039;re not allergic to) and washing your face *twice* a day. If you work out and sweat alot, make sure you wash your face after you%26#039;re done, b/c sweat causes clogged pores. I personally perfer Clearasil, but Nutregena works great on most people. (I think its not strong enough b/c I broke out more if I used it)|||If you really want to cure your acne there are two recommended methods that should combined together (if you can afford it) for best results.





Firstly and more important in my opinion and experience, you must learn how you should fix the internal problem that%26#039;s causing your acne, not just masking the symptoms or getting relief.


There are only few good Ebooks and acne cure programs that can teach you exactly how to cure your acne from the inside.





Where medicine has failed them the authors have done their own research and found a way to overcome acne. In their books they share their great knowledge with other acne sufferers. In any case, be very careful because many of them are pure crap with little value.





You can learn about the fasest system and one of the most popular guides that can help you to get rid of your acne from the inside here:





http://www.squidoo.com/Acne-Free-In-3-Da鈥?/a>





The second thing that you need to do is to get good acne skin product that will be suitable for your skin.


There are hundreds of acne skin care products available in the market right now and it%26#039;s not easy to choose the product that will give you the best results.


When choosing your product make sure to check that you get at least 2 months full guarantee. Some of the big names in the industry are:


ClearPores, Acuzine, Acnezine, Proactiv, Vilante and some others.

I hope this helps. =)|||I%26#039;ve been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne/pimples temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it%26#039;s at.





I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life.





I%26#039;m 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy.





Literally the best acne face wash I%26#039;ve ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It%26#039;s unique cause of it%26#039;s herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem.com at the time which was helpful.





You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn%26#039;t work it will still save you butt on the return policy.





Well good luck and best wishes.|||That first one sounded like an advertisement. I do not have a pricing sheet in front of me, but assume a straight forward examination may start between 120 and 150 US dollars. If there is a procedure such as a biopsy then this will add to it.|||Try this site!
