What do you use for acne?

[Anonymous]

If you had/have acne, what medication or product do you use to treat it? Does it work?

I just saw now a similiar question was made few hours ago lol sorry

I have sulfur water at my house. I shower once a day or once every other day, and I use "Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Facial Cleanser" on a washcloth and gently scrub my face, chest, and back. Basically the most important thing is to not eat a lot of sugar and not touch your face at all during the day. Also, sweating heavily and then washing it off immediately cleans your pores.

I've been using the Exposed skin care line for almost two months. It certainly makes my skin feel less oily than the Neutrogena products I used to use, but I'm not completely cured, and still get new blemishes (despite the promises that after a couple weeks you won't get any more new blemishes 😐). Although I can't say my diet is the best either, so that could also be a cause.

The generic for Retin-A. Stops acne and helps prevent wrinkles as you age. $18/tube will last 6mo-1year for me. I get it for stress related acne on my forehead which is minor, but I always ask for this stuff instead of the proactive. The 0.01% gel works better than the cream of 0.025% in my opinion (Well maybe because you can feel the tightness of the gel on your skin).

None, I rarely get any. When I do , I don't touch it and let it be, it does off in a week or two and the mark goes off in another week or so.

I use proactive plus a st Ives facial moisturizer. Together they keep the acne to a minimum and my face doesn't flake

[DivaPrincess]

Fabior is what I use. It works really well! But you have to be careful to use it over moisturizer since it is really strong!

*looks at skin, finds no acne* lol sorry for being an ass, whatever you do stay away from acutane and exfoliators, the first messes you up mentally and the latter is just not suitable for oily skin.

[BubbleQueen]

I use proactive, and always lather with body wash while showering. Works wonders! :)

[thegirlnextdl]

I use Mary Kay acne treatment, it isn't always perfect but it works better than most I've found.

raw vegan diet and cleansing fasting. it healed my acne, my psoriasis, my depression, everything. i also exercise more and sleep better now.

its better to transform the problem in its roots that fight the symptoms with superficial treatments... .

[MaelaK]

I totally agree. How did it help with your depression?

[Opinion Owner]

@MaelaK cleared my mind, cured my insomnia, corrected my sleep cycles, increased my energy levels ans mood etc but i also had to transform my minset not just my body. i learnt to practice gratitude and simplicity in all aspects of life.

[Asker]

Well if I still don't find something that will work I think I have to go for medication too
