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!
|||i used proactive and skinID for about a year each,and i came to realize that they bleaches fabrics. such as towels, clothes, and bed sheets. and they don%26#039;t work. the neutrogena complete system works best. Report Abuse

What is the best over the counter acne treatment?!?
I%26#039;ve had problems with acne since middle school. I%26#039;ve gone to dermatolgists and have used all sorts of medicine from them and nothing. I%26#039;ve even used ProActive for a couple of years with only mediocre (if thats how you spell it) results. So I was wondering, instead of going back to the doctors, what are some of the best drugstore acne treatments out there? I have sensitive skin also so I have to be careful. And if anyone knows what makeup will help me not to breakout, that%26#039;d be great too.
And please, no one say ProActive. I%26#039;m not trying that again.
Thank You!|||I%26#039;ve had great results with an Aveda product call Outer peace Acne face wash. There%26#039;s a whole line of the products for acne but honestly I%26#039;ve only used the face wash. It%26#039;s worked great for me. Not over drying but strong enough to kill the acne. That and a very light, sensitive moisturizer works great to balance out your skin.
You could probably do a search for the product to come up with a price and retailer near you. Hope that helps!|||Here is a good page on squidoo on acne treatment review.

Should i go to a dermatologist for acne treatment?
there are times when my face clears up completely, but most of the time, i always have some acne and redness.
i%26#039;ve tried all sorts of three step systems and nothing works.
is it worth going to a dermatologist, and getting prescription medicine?
if so, how much does it usually cost?|||If your face clears up you may have acne due to stress. The dermatologist would have something to help that. try and get accutane it really works|||you can%26#039;t detimine how much they cost becasue usually they are covered under insurance.
i have gotten Retin-a from them and it cleared up my skin...it%26#039;s just senstive to light...but its a boost to get started.
sometimes you may be over scrubbing your face which can cause irratation...|||Here is my tips before you see dermatologist. And also dermatologist fee is varies. So better you check it out first before make an appointment with dermatologist.
Acne treatment for your acne should be accompanied by a healthy skin care routine.
Wash the affected area twice a day with mild soap. Use soap such as Dove, or one that contains benzoyl peroxide, such as Oxy-5. Wash as often necessary to keep the area clean. Do not scrub.
Shampoo the hair regularly.
Keep long hair off the face and shoulders and wash it daily.
Avoid shaving as much as possible; while shaving take care to avoid nicking the pimples.
Use a fresh shaving blade to minimize the chance of spreading the infection.
Avoid use of make-up or cosmetics in areas prone to acne. If you have to wear make-up, use only the hypoallergenic or fragrance free kind.
Don%26#039;t pop, pick, scratch, or squeeze your pimples. This may cause infection and scarring.
You may use an over-the-counter treatment that contain substances such as benzoyl peroxide (gel or cream) or salicyclic acid. Start with the lowest strength and apply once a day about half an hour after washing. Never use more than 5 percent strength without consulting a physician.
Food and Nutrition Recommendations for Acne:Some doctors believe that acne is not a food related problem. Some alternate practitioners use diet as a basis for their treatment of acne. They recommend that acne patients should eat foods high in beta-carotene, such as carrots, pumpkin, cantaloupe and other yellow-orange fruits and vegetables. They should also avoid fatty foods. Acnezine controls the oil secretion in your body to protect your skin from getting acne prone.
Vitamin Therapy for Acne:Nutritionists generally suggest:Chromium supplements - Chromium helps boosts the body%26#039;s ability to break down glucose.Vitamin A - reduces sebum and keratin production. (Caution: taking mega doses of Vitamin A can cause headaches, fatigue, muscle and joint pain and other side effects. Consult a qualified practitioner before taking mega supplements).Vitamin E - an antioxidant (200 to 400 IU a day).Vitamin B-6 50 mg per day. This vitamin aids in the metabolism of hormones and supports the function of Acnezine as well.
Note: People should not try to medicate themselves or others with any of the methods referred to here without the guidance of a qualified practitioner who is thoroughly familiar with both the remedies and the individual鈥檚 medical status.|||yes you should
and don%26#039;t try creams and streange stuff it just makes it worst

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.

1. Put toothpaste on your pimple before you go to bed, should help reduce swelling overnight. Make sure it is the paste not the gel. One of the most popular acne home remedies.
2. Wash your face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave your face oil free without aggravating the acne.
3. Apply a paste of fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves over the face every night for 10-15 minutes and washed with warm water. This will prevent acne, pimples, blackheads, and wrinkles.
4. Place strawberry leaves on the acne, the alkalinity helps to reduce the swelling.
5. Extract juice of one lemon and mix with equal quantity of rose water. Apply this mixture on the face and let it stay for about half an hour. Wash the face with fresh water. About 15 days application helps cure acne, pimples and reduces blemishes and scars.

7. Apply fresh mint juice over the face every night for the treatment of acne, pimples, insect stings, eczema, scabies, %26amp; other skin infections.

Home face wash for acne: Mix together 1 or 2mls each of the following: witch hazel, tea-tree and sweet fennel essential oils, adding essential oil of geranium for women and essential oil of rosewood for men.

also, clean your pillow case every few days, a dirty pillow contributes a lot to acne|||Hi,
Well I myself had acne, I started breaking out when I started running in the track team. I lost confidence, and was embarrassed to speak to people. What I did was go to the doctor, and he prescribed me Oral medication, and a face gel. The Oral medication (Minocycline) fought the skin infection which you might have, and the gel made me peel which causes my face to grow newer, and brighter skin. At first it was pretty gross, and my face irritated with the sun. So sun screen had to be used. And now I don%26#039;t have any acne problems. But all this was prescribed by a doctor. Some people are different. You could also watch what you eat. Fatty foods make me break out. Hope this helps. Try the site I gave you, and ask a doctor. GOOD LUCK! =)|||acutane is a medicine that can be prescribed to you by a dermatologist. It has clinically been proven to be the best cure for acne, with reductions in scarring.
Use of neutrogena face washes throughout, as well as exposure to sunlight can help. Be careful while on acutane, your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight.|||I%26#039;ve tried a lot of those things and they don%26#039;t work for me either. But from what I%26#039;ve read, using honey as a mask for about 30 minutes helps. Also, using a cotton ball, dab it into some egg whites then add it to your face. I%26#039;ve used this method and it works after a few days. You could also use tomatoes instead of egg whites.
Those were home remedies, for actual medication, Neutrogena works wonders.|||omg its so sad.. that there are millions and millions of people suffering from acne =[
there are so many things out there i dont know where to start.
i tried Proactiv. it worked but it irritated my skin... =[
my friends have acne..and they have used so many things.
they have used clean and clear....nuetrogena and so and so..
try proactiv.... if you dont like it.... return it.. i know its frustruating..but you have to be patient...
and when you try something new.. u have to use it for weeks to see real results... dont switch to different things often because it will only make your skin worse.. =]
good luck|||a good diet, is the first step.
along with a lot of water.
buy one of those large containers of water and drink as much a day as you can.
as for face wash, you say you have oily skin.
i do too, use biore it really worked for me.
my skin was like.. bleh, a lot a lot better now. =]
and make sure to wash your face with a cloth.
avoid touching your face with your hands, fingers, altogether.
the oil on your hands makes it worse.
also, before you go to sleep at night either put some rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and rub it all over your face. but not too much.
or take powder and cover your face with it like a mask.
it keeps your pores dry,
and doesn%26#039;t allow pimples to grow.
or, steam your face,
and then close the pores with ice.
i know that;s a lot, but it helps =]
at least it helped me.|||i have tried so many acne treatments also , . nothing seemed to work and all it did was just dry out my skin , especially proactive ... im currently using an acne treatment called exposed and my skin is finally CLEAR ! :p lol , exposed rly works and fast too , you will see big changes in only 2 weeks and it wont dry out your skin one bit ! it works great on all skin types because its SO strong but also very very gentle .. anything you need to know is on its website , http://www.exposedskincare.com/cgi-bin/c…
just know that your skin might get slightly worse as your skin gets use to it but you should have crazy results in 2 weeks and perfectly clear skin in just 1 month .... also beware its slightly on the expensive side but the bottles last two months !
hope it helps :)
p.s. if it doesn%26#039;t work for some odd reason , go to your doctor or dermatologist and ask him what acne care is best for your skin|||Unfortunately from my own experience I found most products didn%26#039;t work. One brand I found that helped was called Dermologica.

Thank You|||47 ways to get rid of acne:
1. Put toothpaste on your pimple before you go to bed, should help reduce swelling overnight. Make sure it is the paste not the gel. One of the most popular acne home remedies.
2. Wash your face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave your face oil free without aggravating the acne.
3. Apply a paste of fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves over the face every night for 10-15 minutes and washed with warm water. This will prevent acne, pimples, blackheads, and wrinkles.
4. Place strawberry leaves on the acne, the alkalinity helps to reduce the swelling.
5. Extract juice of one lemon and mix with equal quantity of rose water. Apply this mixture on the face and let it stay for about half an hour. Wash the face with fresh water. About 15 days application helps cure acne, pimples and reduces blemishes and scars.
6. Another method is to massage the face with the skin of lemon before washing with lukewarm water.
7. Apply fresh mint juice over the face every night for the treatment of acne, pimples, insect stings, eczema, scabies, %26amp; other skin infections.
8. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. At least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables should be included in your diet. All acne home remedies should include a healthy diet.
9. A couple of garlic cloves, crushed and dabbed on the face 1-2 times a day. One of the smellier acne home remedies!
10. Home face wash for acne: Mix together 1 or 2mls each of the following: witch hazel, tea-tree and sweet fennel essential oils, adding essential oil of geranium for women and essential oil of rosewood for men. Mix with 300mls of water. Shake before use, as the oils will float on top of the water during storage. Dab affected areas with cotton wool two or three times a day. The oils will clean and unclog giving antibiotic-like protection to the skin.

I started drinking the recommended 8 cups of water a day and stopped eating fatty/junky foods and myskin cleared up within 2 weeks
also, clean your pillow case every few days, a dirty pillow contributes a lot to acne|||Hi,
Well I myself had acne, I started breaking out when I started running in the track team. I lost confidence, and was embarrassed to speak to people. What I did was go to the doctor, and he prescribed me Oral medication, and a face gel. The Oral medication (Minocycline) fought the skin infection which you might have, and the gel made me peel which causes my face to grow newer, and brighter skin. At first it was pretty gross, and my face irritated with the sun. So sun screen had to be used. And now I don%26#039;t have any acne problems. But all this was prescribed by a doctor. Some people are different. You could also watch what you eat. Fatty foods make me break out. Hope this helps. Try the site I gave you, and ask a doctor. GOOD LUCK! =)|||acutane is a medicine that can be prescribed to you by a dermatologist. It has clinically been proven to be the best cure for acne, with reductions in scarring.
Use of neutrogena face washes throughout, as well as exposure to sunlight can help. Be careful while on acutane, your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight.|||I%26#039;ve tried a lot of those things and they don%26#039;t work for me either. But from what I%26#039;ve read, using honey as a mask for about 30 minutes helps. Also, using a cotton ball, dab it into some egg whites then add it to your face. I%26#039;ve used this method and it works after a few days. You could also use tomatoes instead of egg whites.
Those were home remedies, for actual medication, Neutrogena works wonders.|||omg its so sad.. that there are millions and millions of people suffering from acne =[
there are so many things out there i dont know where to start.
i tried Proactiv. it worked but it irritated my skin... =[
my friends have acne..and they have used so many things.
they have used clean and clear....nuetrogena and so and so..
try proactiv.... if you dont like it.... return it.. i know its frustruating..but you have to be patient...
and when you try something new.. u have to use it for weeks to see real results... dont switch to different things often because it will only make your skin worse.. =]
good luck|||a good diet, is the first step.
along with a lot of water.
buy one of those large containers of water and drink as much a day as you can.
as for face wash, you say you have oily skin.
i do too, use biore it really worked for me.
my skin was like.. bleh, a lot a lot better now. =]
and make sure to wash your face with a cloth.
avoid touching your face with your hands, fingers, altogether.
the oil on your hands makes it worse.
also, before you go to sleep at night either put some rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and rub it all over your face. but not too much.
or take powder and cover your face with it like a mask.
it keeps your pores dry,
and doesn%26#039;t allow pimples to grow.
or, steam your face,
and then close the pores with ice.
i know that;s a lot, but it helps =]
at least it helped me.|||i have tried so many acne treatments also , . nothing seemed to work and all it did was just dry out my skin , especially proactive ... im currently using an acne treatment called exposed and my skin is finally CLEAR ! :p lol , exposed rly works and fast too , you will see big changes in only 2 weeks and it wont dry out your skin one bit ! it works great on all skin types because its SO strong but also very very gentle .. anything you need to know is on its website , http://www.exposedskincare.com/cgi-bin/c…
just know that your skin might get slightly worse as your skin gets use to it but you should have crazy results in 2 weeks and perfectly clear skin in just 1 month .... also beware its slightly on the expensive side but the bottles last two months !
hope it helps :)
p.s. if it doesn%26#039;t work for some odd reason , go to your doctor or dermatologist and ask him what acne care is best for your skin|||Unfortunately from my own experience I found most products didn%26#039;t work. One brand I found that helped was called Dermologica.
