Acne Treatment and Prevention

What are some really good acne products?

Ive had my acne for almost 3 years now and I feel like it wont ever go away. Ive tried acne free severe, proactiv, and even home remedies. I dont have alot of money to buy products like skin I.D. , murad, etc. Ill buy them if they work. I realize that not every product works for everybody so, what are some acne products that have worked for you?

1. The ONLY thing that ever made my acne go away for good was accutane. I would seriously look into it. I know it may be somewhat expensive but don't write it off because its fantastic!!! My acne cleared for good in about a year and stayed away with an acne cleanser. Think about how much mone you'll waste with other products that won't make it go away for good. If its severe enough acne accutane is right for you!

2. well for me pro activ worked but idk i guess thats just me! but i dont buy alot of stuff so i just use home remedies. and ill tell u EXACTLY what i do and it left my skin clear in a week or a week 1/2 . ok so i first start with washing my face with hot water then i put some ani bacteria soap on it then wash it off with warm water . after that i get a cotton ball and put lemon juice on my problem areas ONLY then rince with hot water. second to last i use mashed up orange peels. it just makes my skin soft. so mash up some orange peels with like a spoon (it might take along time) and then add (cold) water. and i leave that on for 2 - 10 minutes. after that i add aloe vera gel on my nose, cheeks and chin. and i do that every day and it really helps. i promise ur acne should be almost gone in a week. even if u put makeup on it still goes away. so i hope this will work for u :D

4. I used to have the same dillemma when I was still a teenager. And yes, you're right in saying that not every product works for everybody. In my case, I used Likas Papaya soap. Sometime I used Koji San...both worked very well for me...i have oily skin and I believe both products contain ingredients that helped treat oily skin...today, all traces of acne and black spots from my face are gone...I suggest you just continue practicing proper hygiene, washing your face regularly to keep your face clean..In most cases, acne is just part of adolescence... When you get older, it will just go away...consulting a dermatologist is also an ideal thing to do...Good luck!

5. Hello!

I have had acne for about 6 years now. When I was young it was easily taken care of with a simple toner. As I progressed into my teenage years it got worse and the simple toner wasnt working. I had a very low self esteem like most teens and young adults. Acne does not help this but you are not alone. Relax. The best way to treat your acne is not to make it a big deal. Wash your face, drink plenty of water and eat healthy. Don't wear makeup. Moisturize with a noncomedeogentic moisturizer and things will get better. I am not a professional I am only 18 but this is what I have learned after trying just about everything and anything. Go see a dermatologist and perhaps they can give you something better to work with. :)
Good luck and just know that no matter what you are beautiful!
