i have had acne since i was 9 year old so for years and years i had to go through tablets and gels and creams and just genuinely feeling absolutely miserable i was just gonna give up and save my money because nothing seemed to work. but then by chance i came across the vichy normaderm products, they took around 2 months to really work but they do make your skin tons better and they're not that expensive either. Green tea helps your skin too and in some cases kicking dairy and red meat out of your diet works. Its important to remember though that ultimately it lies with your hormones so no matter what you do sometimes your skin will flare up more than others, regular yoga can help too, it helps stabilize the endocrine system which is the hormone system

Different things work for different people/different skin types. Have you seen a dermatologist? They're the only people who could really recommend something, and even then your skin probably won't be completely clear. You're young. Everyone gets acne. I had it pretty bad from when I was like 11 until 17. Finally, it cleared up, but I still have clogged pores/occasional pimples.

Don't let people put you down for it. That is so immature. It doesn't make you a bad person in any way, and you can still look beautiful, even with acne. Shocking, right?

Try increasing the amount of water you drink every day. Aim for 8 glasses. It won't miraculously solve your problem, but it could help a bit, and it offers other health benefits. 23 Aug 2009 / Reply answer / 0

I some times use Acne Free and it really helps ! Also it helps if you just wash your face with a face cleanser/acne face wash and after you get out of the shower put on some acne creme from any store really i get mine at Walmart cause it is cheap and it works well ! and put it on agin b4 you go to bed ! ( put it on two times a day ) because if you put it on two much it drys out your face 2 much !

GOOD LUCK !

Hope That Helps You !

Well for me I switch my acne medicine every two weeks. Because it's almost like my skin gets used to the cleanser and it stops working. I use the clearisil pimple pen. Whenever I feel a pimple about to pop up I put some of the gel(Idk) on and it disspears within a day or two. I also use the neautrogeuna wave pad? I think :/ My mom sells avon and she got me the acne treatment kit from there,but I only use the first step and alternate every two weeks ( As I said above) with the burts bee cleansers..........
I bet I got some products confused ._.
But hope I helped anyway. 22 Aug 2009 / Reply answer / 0 Reply answer
