Which one is stronger and would be ideal for a person who has mild/moderate acne? I brought a Biore warming cleanser that is a salicylic acid acne treatment.
I use the neutragena cleanser, works great…has the salicylic acid in it.
then drink lots of water, it helps clear up acne better. drinking alot of soda will make you break out more.

I'm 19 years old and I'm planning to go through microdermabrasion. Will I see results with 5 sessions? or will it take 10 sessions though? I have mild acne and acne scarring, oil skin and red spots due to acne.
This usually depends on the product you are using for microdermabrasion. I had experienced good results for my acne scars with just 3 sessions of Zenmed's renewing microdermabrasion complex.
In fact as you say, that you have mild acne, acne scarring, oily skin and red spots due to acne, then why do you want to have microdermabrasion sessions. These sessions at a spa are expensive and would only give you relief from scarring and your oily skin problem.
I would suggest you use Zenmed's derma cleanse acne system. It is a powerful system comprising of products that helps in getting rid of acne from its roots, stop its early re-occurrence, minimize the scarring and redness, unclog pores and provide a clean, clear and smooth skin. This would cost you just one-fourth of what you would end up paying at a spa and also save you alot of time. I would advise you to go for this stuff for a permanent solution to your skin problems.
I would also offer you to use my discount code "zen4less" to avail a price off, in case if you make up your mind to buy this product.

i have tried about 20 different acne treatments and the harsh chemicals in the products dry my face out no matter how much i moisterize or makes me break out more. so i want to try an all natural acne treatment tht is not expensive. what are your opinions and what are the best all natural acne treatments?
Hi, you should try this product. Its the number one rated acne treatment of 2008. ( Proactiv was number four, so you know this stuff is good lol) I just started using it and its working great for me. It cures your acne from the inside out and doesn't have any harsh chemicals.

OK so I just started using this new acne medicine last night. It's not proactive but it's just like it. I've read that your acne will get worse before it gets better. Is this true? And if so, why? Is it because it brings the bacteria to the surface?
Oh, and if it does get worse before it gets better, should I pop the pimples or should I let the medicine do it's trick?
It's different for everyone. You need to find a face wash and stick with it. The best way to get rid of it is to wash your face twice a day with a wash that has a high content of salcylic acid. Before you wash, fill a sink with hot water and steam your face. That will help to open up your pores and let the medicine in to work. And most importantly, keep your hands away from your face except to wash it!

please dont answer ignorantly. I know what cat acne is, and if you dont, dont answer. I am looking for someone who is controlling their cats acne and what they are using to successfully control it. The vet has an expensive cream, but i'd like to try home remedies if they have worked for someone else. neosporin?
I treated one of my kitties years ago for acne. She is 16 yo now and this was when she was 2-3 years old. Her vet just had me cleanse her chin twice a day with a plain soap (no perfumes or dyes) and rinse. Hers cleared in about a week.
Like the above poster said, plastic dishes can be the culprit. It was the case with mine, too. Once I threw out the plastic dishes and started using glass or ceramic, her acne cleared and never returned.
Purrs to you and kitty.

my acne has gotten really bad, and i was wondering if anyone could recommend a really good over the counter acne treatment? does proactive really work? or should i try something else. thanks in advance for any suggestions!
It really just depends on your skin type. When i was a little younger i had horrible skin problems. I found that ProActive did work, but you have to follow the directions and clean your face TWICE a day. If you have oily skin they have a product that i just ordered to se if it helps out with that.
I found that ProActive works for the most part. Just consider that it wont work for everyone, no ones skin is the same.

please list all the best things you've used or things you've done to get rid of acne. also say what foods you had to stay away from. please dont list any doctor prescribed medicine because my acne isnt bad, its only a little bit of acne but i want to get rid of it fast. please list the name brands of the items and if you have any household remedies for acne it would be great if you could list those too. OH yeah and i have blackheads too so any tips on how to get rid of those would be helpful. thanks! by the way the reason im listing this in womens health is because, well, this is a problem that all women come across and i guess its kind of a health problem…thankss!
most of the acne is on my forehead by the way and the blackheads are on my nose. its weird though cause the acne is not red or irritated bumps they're like…regular skin tone color and they're only noticable if i turn my head a certain way and the light catches them in a certain way. yeah. lol sorry i thought maybe that would be useful info…
sorry about the gramatical error in the title of this topic lol..didnt realize
I have had acne most of my life, and I am 40 now.
I have tried medicine to kill hair follicle mites, to kill fungus….sulfa drugs (topical and pill), antibiotics, creams lotions….everything.
I was given t-sal shampoo by a new dermatologist who believed the acne on my scalp was seborrhea. I used it on my face, and lo and behold….it worked. My skin has been beautiful.
It removes the upper layer of skin, so the contents of your pores don't get stuck in there. If only I had known how easy it is. You can get t-sal in the pharmacy. It is made by neutrogena…you just put it on your skin (not in your eyes) for a few minutes, then wash it off, and use a mild face lotion afterwards.
