K so I guess you could say i have a moderate case of it.

I use this four clearasil step thing 2 times a day.

And it kinda works, but i wanted to know if there are like better ways to get rid of it.

Cause ive been to the dermatologist and that didnt work.

I really need some help.

Hope that helps some.

Clearisil won't work on acne, all it's doing is diminishing the other spots that look similar.

Acne isn't related to diet. So far as I know it's hormonal. It might be more than that, but diet is rarely a part of it.

edit: Acne ISN'T related to diet.

Patience is a virtue. I never found those special products to work, just plain ol' soap will do once in the morning and once before going to bed.

relaxation and sun works as well as lots of water and a good diet over a month or more. of course once its gone you dont want to stop your routine, keep going or it might just come back.

wash your face with soap twice daily.

The dermatologist probably didn't consider your case that bad, otherwise he would probably given you antibiotics and such. Just keep yourself out in the sun, best kj00re.

Just don't pay so much attention to it. Don't scrub your face so hard, or so often. Don't wash your face more than once per day. I do that, and suggested my brother who has acne problems to try it. It helped clear his up; now, it didn't get rid of it altogether, but did make it less severe.

Luckily, I have really good skin now. I used to break out occasionaly during the puberty stages though.

Redflagman_2

There's a website called acne. org. Follow the regimen there. It's bassically what you should be doing. Cleanse, Medicate, Moisturize. 2 times a day. Aviod touching skin, unless your moisturizing.

I sort of follow the regimen. Though I use salysid acid as opposed to benzolyz perioxide. It works for me. Everyone is different, so find out what works for you and stick with it.

Eat healthy as well. Some people say this doesn't affect acne whatsoever. But i do. LOL. Even if it doesn't affect acne, you still shouldn't be eating crap regardless, so it's a win-win.

Use common sense, eat right. Aviod fast food, sugary stuff. Drink water instead of soda. Don't be fooled by the juices either. They claim healthy but are loaded with sugar and carbs. Water should be your best friend.

Do some research on eating right. The website is loaded with articles on it. Research till you feel like an expert.

Nope. The ingredients in soap can clog your pores really bad. Soap should not be used on the face. They were made to be used on your body.

Buy cleansers and stuff that are designed to treat the skin on your face.

Actually I have to agree. I dont have bad acne at all. I get one or two pimples on my forehead once a week maybe, but I noticed that when I get a lot of sun light I get no pimples at all and my skin is as smooth as silk.

People don't notice it as much as you think. I always had it pretty bad but it's just so common that no one really notices it unless it's like freakish, but even then you see that around every once in awhile too. Don't sweat it, just keep washing your face in the shower and using the Oxy things before bed and in the morning.

Natural products work best, i highly suggest you lick tree sap, rub you're face on the bark and chew on the moss for healthier skin.  Trees are natures dinosours.

People reccomeding sunlight? What blasphemy! The sun the devil when it comes to skin care. Lol

Ok, say your skin appeared to clear up, and get smooth. It's only temporary. The sun dries out the skin. Which guess what? Leads to future breakouts. Sunlight leads to premature aging, and skin cancer. By staying out in the sun for a long time, your killing your skin.

What you NEED to do : Put on sunblock. Whenever you go outside. Whether it is summer or winter. Put in on your face (Buy moisturizer with SPF 15), put in on your arms, neck...everywhere exposed. Do not stay in the sun unnessacarily.

Water is good for the skin, no joke and also exercise is good for helping get rid of acne. When you exercise, your pores on the skin opens and the sweat cleans them out, it also gives your hormones something else to focus on in building muscle.

I think the best you can do is get as much vitamins as possible, also keep your skin in shape (exercise indeed ^^ and some creams, don't use to much of that though:P). That will not make it go away, but make it a lot beter.

Eventuallly you will grow over it believe me. Then you'll get all the girls:)

Get out more?? I do not have any so I do not have to worry. But try this. When I had just a few marks I noticed that when I went to the tanning salon it cleared things up.

Try to drink more water, relax find a way to reduce stress, and watch what you eat. Don't eat too many fatty foods or greasy foods. I noticed that really buttery popcorn gives me lots of acne if I don't wash my face right after eating it. The best thing is to eat healthier food. Like Fruit for example. Do all this in addition to whatever face treatment you are taking. I use Proactive. but I heard that after an extended period of use, your face becomes immune towards Proactive.

Edit: forgot to also mention, getting out more and getting more sun is also very helpful. Also avoid trying to pop a zit prematurely, this won't do anything and it will only leave a big red mark on your face that takes 4-5 days to go away.

Have you tried squeezing them? Completely gross but it works well for zitzs at least . . .deepdreamer256

Yeah, and then the zit that woulddisappear in about 4-5 days times, will turn into ascar that will take a month, sometimes a year if severe enough.

And squeezing pimples can spread bacteria on your face. AVIOD picking at pimples. Matter fact, your not sopposed to be touching your face anyway.

Redflagman_2

i did what people told me to do here. Just keep your face clean. Dont use any acne pads, cream or what ever. Just get a towel and hot water to clean you face...

I also got a pool a couple weeks ago, i guess that helps. But now my face is really clear
