What is the best type of acne treatment?

I have seen sooooo many types of acne treatments on T.V. (Ex. proactive, clearasil, neutrogena, clean %26amp; clear)All of them claim to better than proactive so which is the best?|||the one that suits you ,|||It depends on your skin type. But Proactive has worked best for the most people. I know at least 15 people who use it on a regular basis, and they all have beautiful skin now. I know it is a bit pricey, but it is well worth it. Good luck. Here are some alternative methods that claim to be effective. I would still stick with Proactive, because it%26#039;s a proven brand. http://getacnetreatments.com/ Here is another site that talks about acne treatments and if you click the link to see their recommendation, it suggests Proactive. http://www.bestacnetreatments.org/index.鈥?/a>|||visit the website I have listed below. read it.

Anyone know good acne treatment for 12 yr old daughter?

My daughter is getting acne breakouts on her back and on her forehead and occasionally pops up in other areas of her face. She%26#039;s gone to the dermatologist and uses the medicine. It works a little, but Is there a better solution or health practice alternative or the ultimate solution to keep it from reoccurring?|||Forehead acne - Constipation and stress


Acne on chin - Hormonal imbalance


Acne anywhere else is again constipation and hormonal imbalance.


Long term solution:


1. No alcohol


2. No beef or pork or red meat


3. No dairy food.


4. No artificial sugar


5. More vegetables in diet


6 More fruits, apples / watermelon / oranges / limes.


7. 15-20 glasses of water. Ask her to drink 500 ml of lukewarm water every morning upon rising on an empty stomach with one lemon squeezed in it. Do not eat or drink anything else for an hour after that.


8. Always take shower with tepid/ nearly cold water.


9. Keep hair off the face and do not sleep on side or on face.


10. Avoid harsh sun or midday sunlight.


11. Have a good night of sleep.


12. I am not asking to give up these stuff forever but until you see very good improvement you should avoid these factors and have a good regimen.


13. Workout in moderation.


14. When she stops medication she will get an outbreak of suppression let that clear up with good diet.


15. All the best.


Avoid strong deodorant soaps and perfumes as it would just cause irritation to skin.


Acne can be controlled and can be made to go almost completely with good diet but cannot be stopped from recurring.


12 years old is very young age to start such a healthy regimen which would give her long lasting results.|||There are basically two types of acne products that you can avail of. First, we have the ingestible ones, or the acne products which you could take in via the mouth. Second, we have the external or topical acne products which are applied to the outer layer of the skin.





Of the first group of acne products are pills like antibiotics. Antibiotics reinforce our antibodies, and lead to a better protection of our system against harmful bacteria that, when added with oil, would cause acne. Antibiotics, however, should be taken in moderation. Too much of the same would make our antibodies immune to their reinforcing effects.





Vitamins and supplements are also popular ingestible acne products. If you want a natural way of preventing acne breakout, then let your body do the work by merely supplementing it with these types of acne products. Vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E are great for the skin. Protein would also help improve the rejuvenating properties of the same.





In the second group of acne products belong cleansing creams and liquids. Most of these contain salicylic acid and benzoyl perocide, both of which are very effective in treating acne. The problem with these ingredients, however, is that they can be too astringent for some people. They may get rid of excess oil, but they dry up the skin too much, resulting in other forms of skin disorders.





For other effective remedies for acne treatment, you can read abt them here: http://acne.best-health-remedy.com/|||I went to doctors %26#039;cause i had a bit of acne for like 4 years, since I was 13. Now, I just use a very mild soap [I use Dove] to wash my face, and I swear it%26#039;s had the best improvement of anything i%26#039;ve used, even the prescription stuff.





So if you%26#039;re not already doing that, then have her try out very mild soaps and see if that helps at all.|||What meds is she using?


I%26#039;m on Erythromycin and Differen (Adapalene) and they work great for me. They%26#039;re topical treatments and really easy to use.





Also what helped me a lot was washing my face in the morning and night as well as AFTER SCHOOL... washing my pillowcase more often (I drool unfortunately), training myself not to touch my face, and carrying baby wipes to sports games/gym class to clean my face off with.





Hope these tips help!|||ProActiv works wonders.


An alternate is the pill, even though she is a little young. If you choose this, she may break out at first, but it really helps.

What is your favorite acne treatment, for adult acne prone skin?

Also, I have oily skin most of the time. I do use proactive solution, but it doesn%26#039;t work that well with my skin anymore. Also, when I was a teen I took acutane for three months and it only got rid of my most severe cystic acne, but I sill have overall breakouts all the time, and I just turned 26. So if you know of a really great product that works, please let me know. Especially the nonprescription methods.|||Here are some REALLY good, and very inexpensive ways to treat most acne at home. Try each method (unless you鈥檙e allergic to the ingredients) until you find one that works best for you. Good luck =)





1. Put toothpaste on your acne before going to bed. (Make sure it is paste not gel). It should reduce the swelling of acne noticeably.





2. Dab egg whites on your acne and leave on for 20 minutes or overnight. It鈥檚 supposed to pull the infection out of the blemish.





3. Wash acne infected areas twice a day with warm salt water. This reduces oils in the skin and helps to dry the acne up without further agitation.





4. Use ice on acne before going to bed. This works best on pimples that have not yet formed a head. It reduces swelling and helps to prevent scarring.





5. Wash and dab acne with cotton balls that have been soaked in vinegar. Let dry; do not wash off immediately.





6. Place strawberries leaves over your acne and the alkalinity will help to reduce the swelling.|||try a combination of acne wash w/benzoyl peroxide like benzac wash which you could use in the morning. It has a drying effect. then use loreal pore minimizing facial wash w/ salicylic acid at night. then use very mild face scrub like dermalogica w/ rice granules 1-2x/week to help get rid of debris.. apply acne gel to dry up pimples. However, if pimples are inflamed (red, large, with pus) visit your local derma for a cortisone injection for fast relief.|||Noxema or Termaseptic.. but that%26#039;s sold behind the counter.|||There is some useful advice here.|||i have the exact same problem. i use everything by lancome. you can get it at any major department store. i have combination skin, so the cleanser i use wouldn%26#039;t be the same, but they have approx 8 different cleansers. i use a cleanser, then a toner for oily skin that has a powder in it, so it dries up the oil, then a nice oil free moisturizer. i also use a 2 minute self heating mask once or twice a week for oily skin. after doing this for a month, all of my breakouts have stopped and now i only get 1 or 2 pimples every couple of months and it%26#039;s usually when i%26#039;m stressed.|||Acne Complex is good

Works like magic...|||neutrogena|||Acne Treatment: 7 Things You Must Know!


Robin Araoz


Let me ask you this...





Are you suffering from acne?





Do you know what is causing it and is there any effective acne treatment?





Studies show that an estimated 80 % percent of people experience acne at some point. No one knows exactly what the cause of acne is, but there are a few theories.





Let麓s take a look at 7 of them:





1. Acne normally begins between the ages of eleven and thirteen.





This is true in both males and females due to changes in hormone levels. These hormones, called androgens, will enlarge the facial glands. The oil produced by the glands is known as sebum. The hair follicles shed dead cells too quickly and the cells and sebum form a blockage in the gland.





2. Pressure and rubbing from tight garments.





Adult with acne should avoid tight-collared shirts that might irritate the acne further. Adult athletes may notice an outbreak of acne from equipment such as backpacks or athletic helmets.





3. Acne can also be caused by genetics.





Studies have shown that a family history of acne can affect whether you have acne and the severity of it. So if your mother or father had acne as a teen, chances are that it will be a contributory factor to the cause of your acne.





4. Factors linked to women





Women have several factors that men don鈥檛 that can be linked to the cause of acne. Women go through several phases of life that cause their hormone levels to change. These changes can cause acne in adult women between two and seven days before their menstrual cycle.





5. Pregnancy and hormones





Pregnant women also experience a fluctuation in hormones.





Those who may have previously had little or no acne may see pimples during their pregnancy and for a time after the birth of the baby until the hormone levels return to normal.





6. Menopause and hormones





Menopause will cause changes in hormone levels for woman and can be a cause of acne. Women also tend to wear heavy makeup when experience an acne outbreak, which only worsens the problem by further clogging pores.





7.Stress.





Especially in adults, stress can be another cause of acne. When you are stressed, the hormone cortisol is produced.





Cortisol will worsen any acne you already have. To prevent stress-related acne, try relaxation and meditation.





Some adults experience acne from picking at blemishes on their skin. You should never pick at or squeeze a pimple, blackhead or any other blemish on your face.





This can only cause more acne and possibly an infection. When cleaning your face, avoid harsh facial cleansers(they cause the creation of more sebum) and scrubbing your face too vigorously.





Acne treatments





The sad part is that most of the acne products are sold over the counter for treatment.





Most over-the-counter acne treatments are topical and come in the form of a cream, soap, lotion or gel.





Acne products normally contain benzoyl peroxide (good for killing the bacteria and possibly reducing oil production), sulfur (helps eliminate blackheads and whiteheads) and/or salicylic acid (cuts down the speed of cell lose).





More severe cases may require prescription acne medicine that is topical or oral.





Oral acne medication can help reduce both the growth of the bacteria and inflammation of glands.

http://best-acne-medicine.acne-rid.info|||I have been using Mary Kay for 27 years. It%26#039;s awesome! I also have adult acne, but I have it under control.





27 years ago I was using acutane, ya it worked for a while, but MK works better! I use a cleanser, mask/scrub, freshner (with 2% salicyic acidin it), a moisturizer and a foundation. Ya it%26#039;s alot of steps, but I don%26#039;t break out, I have senitive skin and I have found that it%26#039;s the best for me.





You can get a free facial, and try either the classic basic like what I%26#039;m on (which is #3-for oily skin - minus the #3 mask, I use formula #2 as a scrub- helps with scarring). Or try the TimeWise set for oily skin. I just couldn%26#039;t use the moisturizer. It%26#039;s doesn%26#039;t cost you anything for the facial. Only for the skin care program that you buy.





My mother, who is now 76 years old. She has adult acne. She looks like she is in her late 50%26#039;s. Instead of her late 70%26#039;s. She also uses MK (27 years in fact).





I loved what it did for my skin, that I signed up to sell %26amp; share the products to others that have bad skin like I did. That was 17 years ago. I ;look great at 41!

Where do they sell clearasil acne treatment stuff?

do they sell it at like target/walmart/drug stores like that?


or do you have to like order it or something?


is it good?|||yes wal-mart has it, walgreens and a lot of local grocery stores do as well|||they sell it everywhere|||wal-mart is where i got mine, but they probably hav it at any store like that. it works very well. i really do like it.|||I know Walmart has it.|||clearasil is ok you can buy it at cvs, walgreens, brooks,walmart,grocery stores pretty much anywhere. But proactiv is better if more expensive and most malls sell that at kiosks.|||Walgreens, target, walmart, rite aid, etc. You can find in many stores.|||practically everywhere!

Is there any good acne treatment which will reduce acne in 10 days?

any medicine available in stores which we can use without prescription?|||pro active|||From what i%26#039;ve heard Proactive is supposed to be very good. I have a number of friends that swear by it. I don%26#039;t know how severe your acne is but for spot treatment I recommend Clean and Clear PersaGel 10. Whenever I get a breakout it clears it up overnight.|||ummm


well your best hope is to go see a dermatologist,,





or that proavtive stuff is apparently good





but seriously a dermatologist would be able to get rid of it in 3 days





depending how bad it is...


but yehh


depends how urgent it is...

Which acne treatment works best for you?

I am thinking about buying skin id or proactiv or another acne product. I am currently using three products my dermatologist prescribed, but they are very expensive to keep up and help, but don%26#039;t clear all my skin completely.





So do you think proactiv or skin id or any other acne product like allclear or anything is worth the money?|||The answer is Proactive....but when you call to order it the key is to ask the operator for the maximum strength NOT the regular strength that is standard. The maximum strength is the same price as the standard....they don%26#039;t tell you this. It is secret that I have passed along to many friends with serious acne problems and it cleared them up it a few weeks. So if you have the patience to wait a few weeks...I have given you the cure to your acne problems.





And for the record I do not work for Proactive - I and many friends are believers b/c we all had problem skin and this was the only thing that worked! Good Luck!
