Any suggestions on acne?

[Anonymous]

Ive tried proactive, sycilic acid based creams, pretty much everything. I've never had bad acne either until I lost a lot of weight. Now I have moderate acne and scarring. The deratologist just gave me pills that didn't work and a body wash lotion type thing. Is there anything else that people have tried and worked on the most stubborn acne?

I think I said this on another question, but I personally recommend Neutrogena Deep Clean facial cleanser or the Neutrogena facial bar soap, both of which will dry the hell out of your face. But pair it with CeraVe, a non-comedogenic moisturizer, which will keep your face smooth and happy and help with acne scarring.

drink water and eat healthier and don't drink pop

I don't think its what I eat that's the problem. I think its just merely based off my stress levels and just my hormones. I mean not all but I would say 95 percent is from the 2 instances above.

Then meditate to relieve stress and go see a dermatologist

That's weird. When I lost weight, my acne actually went away. I would say cut down of foods with high fat content and drink more water than you normally would.

if your fat, just work out I was 200 pounds had some acne, lost about 8 pounds and half of its going away and I'm not using any products, I'm also eating better.

My doctor gave me Retin-A and spironolactone. The retin- a helps with the scaring but you will break a little at first. The spironolactone blocks male hormones that make you break out. Just started the two so I can't share my full results. I have tried everything and nothing has worked ... here's hoping this works. good luck.

cetaphill is like the number 1 recommended over the counter stuff. wash your fash with that twice a day and the moisturizer. don't over dry your skin. drink a lot of water and you could try dabbing on some tooth paste over night.

Does toothpaste actually work? I heard rumors about but never heard of anyone that has tried it?

i used to get a lot of blemishes and I tried it and it did work on some of them. link

Being out in the sun is supposed to help clear it up but be careful if you try that, don't want to be burnt :)

Yea I would love to be in the sun. But I live in michigan so warm days let alone sunshine is a damn scarcity in Michigan.

some good home remedies are lemon juice, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and egg masks. You basically have to keep experimenting to find out what works for you.
