Acne Treatment?

[Intimidation]

I am a 14 year old boy and I have some acne on my face. Do you guys know any products in stores that can clear up acne fast, and do guys know any natural acne treatments? Any help would be apriecieted!

When I was that age my doctor prescribed me a topical acne cream. It cleared up the acne, but really dried up my face.

A lot of it is mostly hormones, but try getting into a habit of washing your face in the morning and before bed with an actual facewash.

The facewash I use is called Bulldog available on Amazon for under $10. I also use an exfoliant a couple times a week, like St. Ives (or storebrand) Apricot Scrub. Try a face moisturizer to after you wash to keep your skin from getting to dry. Get one that has a bit of SPF protection too. I use Jack Black facial moisturizer. It's expensive, but moisturizes without feeling greasy and has SPF 20 protection.

Good luck man.

Get some freederm and get some of those tea tree oil wipes and use those daily. Also, wash your face more often.

There is so much that you could try. The list is endless and anything could work for you, or even not work. I know this will sound extremely weird and ridiculous... But in desperation to find something, I read that some people were putting Desitin (a diaper rash cream that is used for babies ass!!) on their pimples as a spot treatment... So I gave it a try.. And the high level of zinc oxide (I think like 40%) shrinks them up fairly quickly! I'm not saying it will work for you, but if you have it somewhere laying around in your house, won't hurt to give it a try!

This may sound really weird but I am 13 and I splash my face with warm water to open my pores, then i take a bit of toothpaste and rub it on my face in a small circular motion while my face is wet then you wash it off with warm water and then splash cold water on your face to close your pores back up so they don't get dirty again... it might not work right away but it does help and also rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball every month or two cleans your pores so you can avoid buildup.. it sounds stupid lol I still have pimples but not too bad because I do that

You've probably heard that reducing dairy/sugar significantly in your diet helps substantially, so keep doing that. Benzoyl peroxide helps a lot, salcura acne wash, and Zinc supplements tend to help some people. Oh, and Epiduo (benzoyl peroxide + antibiotic) is also good

Wash your face every night, for one. Don't eat greasy food. That should help you. But you're probably going through puberty so not much you can do. Sorry, bud.

use anything by clearasil! all their products have worked great, at least for me anyways. just watch out for their scrubs & face mask bc they've made my face really dry

Have you tried any products in stores? If so and you still have it, you need to go to the doctor and tell them that.

My brother had to do that, and the stuff they gave him did a really good job. :)

Benzoyl peroxide has worked wonders for me. Salicylic acid in conjunction as well twice a day plus sunscreen in the morning, the type specially for oily skin.
