How do i get rid of my acne?

I'm 18 and i've had pimples since the 6th grade... its not terribly bad but it's worse then all of my friends and most kids i know =[ i'm sick of it! my boy friend of 1.5 years made a comment about it today... and well i want it gone. im on yaz.. thought it would help but its not. any suggestions on how to get rid / prevent it?How do i get rid of my acne?
Forget ProActiv, it's Benzoyl Peroxide and Salicylic acid, found in an Walgreens, CVS or other pharmacy. Birth control works sometimes, but not always and is not a permanent solution... For that matter, neither is Retin-A, oral/topical antibiotics, or ProActiv knockoffs.





You're obviously past puberty, so your hormones aren't the issue. Contact a dermatologist and get on isotretinoin, also known as Accutane, Sotret or Amnesteem. Of the patients that take it, 85% rate the results as ';excellent.'; Seriously, everything else is a waste of time.





The most common side-effect is dry skin, but that clears up after a couple of weeks. It is also a Pregnancy category X drug, which means it can cause birth defects in unborn children... Don't be freaked out by this though, it is ONLY a factor if you are on the drug, get pregnant, and keep taking the drug. Once you stop taking the drug, it is out of your system in 6 days and you can have all the healthy babies you like.





There are some requirements when taking this drug that your dermatologist will explain to you. If you have any questions, go ahead an email me and I can answer them if you need. How do i get rid of my acne?
Maybe you have a low reaction to the yaz and maybe its causing even more pimples.


Dont use the yaz for around a week and see if there is any difference.


Also wash your face 2 times a day to take away the bacteria.


And twice a week use a face mask or facial scrub these will take away the dead skin that can not be easily removed by just daily washing.


It may also help if you change your diet meaning no fizzy drinks, milk, chocolatte or alcohol and more water-at least two pints a day, more sleep and try to stay calm and without stress and eat more fruit and vegetables.





Hope it helps-does for me!

There is no one answer to this problem.





There are many ways to deal with this problem try different products and different regimens. You can be surprised what works. I tried a acne wash soap bar the other day and i know have no big pimples anymore. Just smaller less noticeable ones.





Asking your parents is a good advice, they can give you advice based on their adolescence. My parents tell me to touch my face less and drink lots of water. Try to find a plan and have commitment to it. You can find many just by searching acne in Google. These are simple solutions if you don't want to spend the money on more expensive solutions that use branding to attract teens.
you should this product called biore because what it does it makes your pimples dry and then they go away. trust me it works because i have the same problem as you but when i strated to use this product, my pimples cleared up in just 3 days and now i have a beautiful face!!!
Its different for everybody. Make sure not to overcleanse. Too many products can be irratating. Dont over dry cause your body might think its too dry and create oil. Although its weird always moisturize.
ProActive. It works!
My answer was going to be YAZ!!!!! try using that and Proactiv at the same time. And go to the dermatologist if that does not work
PLEASE TRY PRO ACTIVE MY ACNE WAS THE WORST WITHIN 2 WEEKS MY SKIN CHANGED
