I just got Acne free about 5 days ago and I haven't really seen any improvement in my acne. For people that have used it, how long did it take before you saw some good results?

*I have little-moderate acne. Its mostly around my mouth.

Some products work for some people and not for others. Give it at least two weeks to see if Acne Free works for you. If you don't see any improvement then it's probably time to move on and look for another products that will work for you.

I suggest looking into vitamins to treat acne. A lot of acne is caused by a lack of Zinc in the diet. Taking Chelated Zinc daily can clear up your skin in less than two weeks.

I heard that there are several acne laser treatments. which one kills the bacteria that causes the acne & improve the look of old ones?

Acne is not caused by bacteria.

Most people want to treat acne scars rather than acne.It is like treating measles scars rather than measles.Acne is a skin condition caused by the internal imbalance.All medicines and creams which help to remove acne scars contain benzoyl peroxide.

You can regain your internal balance and cure your acne completely and permanently by natural techniques.I have done a small research on various products which claim to cure acne.Acne No More is a program with user rating 4.5/5.You can try it here

My pit bull mix is about 9 months old. He started to develop acne about a month ago and it seems to be getting worse around his chin and lips. It doesn't seem to bother him too much right now but I'm worried because it's not going away. Does anyone know any at home remedies to get rid of puppy acne?

let me guess… plastic food bowl?

Plastic bowls tend to harbor bacteria which causes the facial acne on some dogs.. some dogs also have a mild allergy to the plastic which irritates it furthur.

Switch to stainless steel bowls.. and wash bowls daily with dish soap and warm water.

As well as switching bowls.. use a clean, warm wet wash cloth after he eats to gently remove food from his face. You can wash once a day with a mild puppy shampoo as well to clean away any bacteria. Do not pick at the pimples, overwash, or use products made for acne.. this can irritate the skin further and cause more breakouts.

If it does not appear to be clearing up after a few weeks, consult your vet.

I recently got acne and I hate it. Tiny bumps all over my forehead and a few bigger ones on my cheeks. I also have tiny tiny bumps on my cheeks, will these turn into big zits? I ve been using the sea weed cleanser from the bodyshop and i think its useless. So please if you have any ideas tell me!

I’ve had acne since I was about 12 (I’m 27 now) and I’ve found that several things work for me; it’s just dependent upon how you use them. Proactiv, Murad, and Cleocin-T all worked great and from what you’ve described, we have the same type. Now that I’m older and my face is less oily, just some over-the-counter face wash (Clearasil, Neutrogena, Oxy 10) will keep it under control. Unfortunately there’s no cure, but you can definitely keep your skin clear with certain things. I would strongly advise against ProAcne (the generic rip-off of ProActiv) and Accutane. Accutane is supposed to work for all acne, but it can damage your reproductive system if you’re a woman. In fact, you have to sign a waiver stating that you will not become pregnant while using it because of the damage it will cause an unborn baby. I actually temporarily lost my sight while using it (I was 19) and I just quit using it right then and there. Some more side effects include hair loss, pinkeye, dry skin, depression, weakened immune system, etc.
Hope you find something that works for you. Good luck!! If you have any questions, shoot me an email and I’ll be happy to answer.

I have freckles on my face, but also pretty bad acne/scars too. Is there a way to get rid of the acne (and keep it away) without bleaching my skin or damaging my freckles?

Probably the most useful lifestyle changes you can make are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer. People often refer to redness as “scarring,” but fortunately it usually isn’t in the permanent sense. It’s just a mark that takes months to fade if left entirely alone.

Iv'e tried everything to get rid of my acne from face wash to different soaps so far the lye soap i'm using works the best but the acne keeps coming back. What are some good ways to get rid of the acne?

Spend a bit of time out in the sunshine. It will dry the skin, and lessen the oils. Also, keep face clean, and use Hydrogen Peroxide after, on a bit of cotton and pat on face. Heals infection in the acne, and helps to dry it up.

Don't touch face except for to clean. Make sure you don't get hair care products on face. Hair sprays and gels can clog pores. Conditioners can get in pores and harden.

Tie up bangs in hot weather. The bangs left down can make you sweat more, and presses sebum mixed with sweat into your pores. Ever notice you have more acne near your forehead? Sounds crazy but give it a try.

Keeping face clean, helps your pores out alot. Dirt gets trapped in the pores, that mixes with the sebum, hardens and causes the blackheads. Clean face as soon as you notice it is getting oily.

Drink 8 or more glasses water daily, helps the skin flush out wastes, and gives your skin a nice glow.

How old are you, what is the name of the treatment, the cost, and how bad was your acne and for how long did you have it?

I'm 15, have had acne since 11. First it was mild but then it got to be moderate and it's all over my face now and my chest and back. I've tried proactiv and it worked while I had mild acne but then I stopped and it came back MORE. I've also been on Minocycline and it helped my body acne but not so much on my face. I'm wondering what else is out there. I want to try Accutane but afraid of the side effects. Thanks!

I have no family history of bad acne like me. My parents and my grandma says I'll grow out of it but I don't believe them. Dx Everyone has such good skin! My grandma is 67 and she doesn't even have saggy skin. But I'm stuck with a pizza face.

he products you are using, are they Salsylic Acid or Benzoyl peroxide? BP can be VERY drying. I personally like SA better. Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! Try finding a face lotion with SA in it. Clean and Clear has a good moisturizer with SA and it helps keep pimples at bay. It is only about $5 a bottle and lasts about 2 months and you can get it at your local store. I have used this in the past and it works well. Personally, I use Biore products (which you get over the counter. Their products range from $5-$10). They are harsh on pimples, but not on your face.
Personally, Proactive didn't work for me. I have been using Biore products for over a year and I hardly ever break out! Occasionally I will get one or two, but nothing bad. I use Biore Ice Cleanser and warming facial scrub every morning. And then 3-4 day s a week I use Biore purging pore cream scrub. For body acne I use Neutrogena acne body wash I never break out on my body. It gets 110 in summer so sweat in inevitably, yet I never break out. Give it a try. All of it is cheap too. About $5-10 depending on what you buy! Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! I think you will just need to experiment with products until you find what works for you. Remember, it can take 1 month for products to fully begin working! Good Luck!

I have face wash, toner, acne treatment, and a facial mask. I know the acne treatment comes last, and i DO NOT want to use a moisturizer because my skin is very oily. So, in what order should I use the face wash, toner, and mask?

Even though your face is oily, you should still use an oil-free moisturizer. You also have to make sure that you aren't using tooo many things on your face at the same time. Use the face wash, toner, acne treatment everyday. Most masks are not daily masks and you don't want to over work your skin. May I suggest a toner for your oily skin, its called Sea Breeze. It's really good for oily skin. And the Clean and Clear Mask that they said is for 'daily use' is really strong and should be used, at most, three times a weeks. It is also good for oily skin.
I hope this helps! For a moisturizer I recommend, something with SPF. too many young girls are being diagnosed with skin cancer. start taking care of your skin now!
