I have the prefect solution for you
this is the net's best kept secret
go to www.acne.org
follow "the regimen"
basically it's 2.5% benzoyl peroxide (the kind nrjizer talked about) ...and I mean LOTS of it + cleanser + a moisturizer
you'll be clear I guarantee it
they have demonstration videos feel free to watch
most important thing is
1. to be gentle with your skin (don't pick the pimples)
2. use LOTS of benzoyl peroxide
If works you just have to keep doing it every day
I havent seen a pimple in months
if you have any questions, PM me (or nrjizer he's the only one that makes sense in this thread) :D
and by the way
smoke all marijuana you want
eat all chocolate you want
they dont cause acne
no food has been linked to acne it's all a myth which adults invented to keep their kids' dental bills lower |

I've had bad acne for about four years now, and it's starting to get better. I'm currently taking a prescription medication, Amoxicillin. I also have a prescription cream that I use twice a day (morning, night). In addition, I use Oxypads three times a day (morning, mid-day, night). I also wash my face thoroughly twice a day.
It's improved a lot, but I still a bunch of acne on the sides of my face and just under my jaw. |

yeah I did edit it... I keep forgetting stuff
use benzoyl peroxide
it works you just have to be consistent
forget about toothpaste
and the way you apply it is that you rub it into the skin (but be gentle)
do not just "dab" it on the pimple it doesn't work that way
rub it in only where your "problem areas" are
if I can think of anything else, I'll adit this post :D |

I have some 10% stuff, should I get 2.5 or will that be ok...
I should use it with the stuff my doctor prescribed me? |

absolutely positively stay away from 10%
it will dry your face out so much you'll look like you went to a tanning booth... your skin will start to peel off..
10% = bad
2.5% has the same effect on pimples as 10% without the drying out
stick to that |

if you're interested this is my nightly routine
1. cleanse my face with a cleanser.. (I use clearasil daily face wash)
2. pat dry with a towel
3. apply benzoyl peroxide 2.5% (rub it in until it settles in the skin)
thats it, the whole process takes about 15 min
I do it once a day (before I go to sleep)
I never really had a bad case of acne, just a really mild one. and since I started that "regimen" I have been as clear as ever
it's worth a try eh?
for more info go to www.acne.org
but please share this info with anyone you know it may make a difference in their life
I hope I do not sound like a fortune cookie heehe:p |
