I changed Bc that helped A LOT.. i mean it got rid of most of them on my cheeks and some on my nose got rid of the ones on my chin.. FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

i have used everything from face scrubs to acne plans. To soothing i have even gotten out my grandmothers old hair curling steamer thing.. i mean this is not a beauty thing i just don't like having them on my face there hard to get rid of and they just keep coming i would rather have puss files whit and red festering pimples then these things. I have tired face masks pore strips the acid face wash that is made for getting rid of black heads.. drenched my face in that stuff.. done the blotting with the cotton swabs tired using the achohol method you no the one you use to get rid of infections in like a scratch or something. YA tried it. i mean i got the wave didn't work didn't new Lorelle 360 worked for like a week then they came back. used clean and clear have used the old and newer version of acne free. I used the beora (sp) its in the green bottle .. i have used nutragena.. the only thing i haven't used is proactive and i have not gone to a dermatologist. i don't want to spend lots of money to get something that wont work.. no i have not tried the new acne thing that skin ID thing.. i mean i have looked at it put in my skin Type but all it asked was about my pimples i don't get pimples only rarely i just get black heads.. and i no some people have come up with at home treatments that work great.. and i want to no what some people have come up with that work.. i mean i use three to four diff products all at once. my face doesn't get oily but if i use just one product then my face gets "used' to that product i have to keep switching around or use more than one..

please help. i really would like to hear some of ya'lls at home miracles.. i mean i would go as far as idk.. putting mustard on my face for an hour if it will just get rid of these things. and done be mean and just say mustard becuz i put it .. i mean im sick of buying all these things just to see if they will work and they don't. please be nice im not about beauty i just done like black dots all over my face lol xD.. thank you so much

The first person meant "mederma" which is an onion extract gel meant for recent scars. I use neosporin to prevent scars... But the thing that has really helped me the most is Retin A by far. I've been using it a month now, and while I did peel like crazy for two weeks, I stopped breaking out, and my scars are less visible. People who haven't seen me in a while ask "geesh, what have you been doing, you look good - did you finally get some sleep? (I'm a famous insomniac....) I would suggest not wasting your time on over the counter solutions that dont usually work - if you are going to cough up some bucks, make it worthwhile.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL

1/ Never, ever touch your face.

2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.

3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal

4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.

Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.

5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.

6/ Do this for 90 days.

7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a

nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.



The secret is never to touch the spots

I don't have acne that bad, but when i did get some on my face NOTHING would work. Until one day when my cousin told me about this company in New York that makes acne/everything else. IT IS AMAZING. It's called Mario Badescu, this stuff will work i gurantee it. They have tons of acne stuff it is a bit expensive but it last a LONG time if you use it right and it WILL work. The things I recomend from there is the acne kits, and the enzyme cleansing gel(it is green).

hope this helps(:

I started breaking out recently and someone I work with suggested witch hazel. (None of the other acne products like neutrogena, clean and clear, etc work for me either) I wash my face each morning and night with a benzoyl peroxide face cleanser then liberally apply the witch hazel to my face. You can find witch hazel in the skincare aisle. it's about $5. It's worth the try, who knows it could be the one that that'll work for you. Some simple things like washing your pillow cases weekly and cutting back on using hair gels/sprays may also reduce the amount of acne you'll get. Good luck!
