How did YOU get rid of your acne?

Ive tried so many things, still have acne. Currently taking an oral prescription medicine that my doctor gave me, called Minocycline (Ive been on it for over 2 months now). Also washing my face in the morning and before i go to bed with Clean %26amp; Clear, and also using Stridex Pads w/ aloe every couple days.








What worked for you?How did YOU get rid of your acne?
You are doing a great job of taking care of your face, but unfortunately different face cleansers work better on some and don't work at all on others. Talk to your dermatologist, and they will probably find something else that works for your skin. What helps me is to put dabs of toothpaste on my zits before bed, then in the morning it will be dried up. One thing you need to make sure you do is NOT to pop zits!! Zits are only a way to let you know that there is bacteria under your skin, and if you pop them it leaves holes in your face, and spreads the gross bacteria on your skin. I hope that i helped! Good luck! ~JordanHow did YOU get rid of your acne?
It all depends on how bad the acne is:





Most over the counter acne remedies are full of things that irritate the skin and worsen the problem.





1. Wash with unscented mild soap like Dove for sensitive skin.


2. Topical benzoyl peroxide with clindamycin is often the next step.


3. Minocycline can be used. (You may have to increase the dose after discussing it with your doctor.


4. Things like Retin-A or Differen cream can be used for spot treatment.


5. For terrible acne that isn't responding to anything else Accutane is an effective treatment over 4-5 months that comes with many side effects and has to be closely monitored.
You can try and look into your diet...i've learnt over time that what appears on our body, many times are actually problems from within our body itself!


I ate quite a bit of fried food and chocolates will growing up and over a period of 10 years or more, suffers from acne/pimples. Not until i incorporated my diet with more fruits/veggies and a herbal juice daily did my problem go away! There's quite a bit of toxins in our body too, no thanks to the polluted environment that we live in. Check your bowel movements too...


Whatever acne cream that you are using are helping to dry and clear up the problem externally only.
i use Mary Kay, cleanser and moisturizer and it helps my acne alot, i got rid of it for awhile but sinc eive been sick i havent been able to get rid of it..but using a cleanser and moisturizer helps alot, it cleans out your pores
Sometimes nothing is the answer. All of your products are probably wearing out your skin of all of its natural oils and it cant even heal itself. Just lay off the pads and washes and just use water by itself. I also dont nick pick at every single zit, unless its giant!
Ok, you better take my advice... I've been through all that sh.it..And it hurts thinking about it.


1. Don't wash your face too often, only when showering.(Wash your eyes only when you just woke up, to waken up a little).





2. Don't use things on your face unless you will know it works.

3. Don't drink too much dairy products either, most people get their acne from dairy.
