I had it BAD. What worked for me is this Neutrogina On The Spot stuff. It's benzol peroxide (the only substance proven to actually kill acne bacteria, apparantly), but the difference is that it's 2.5% benzol peroxide. All others are 10%, the maximum allowed without a perscription, letting them cash in on the "maximum strength" . In reality, 10% will molest your skin and probably make your acne worse.
You can find the neutrogina stuff at all the grocery stores, pretty much. Wash your face with water (dont use soaps or anything, they dry you out too much), pat it dry, then wait 5-10 minutes until your skin is really dry. Then put on a light amount all over (even if part of your face is clear at the time, it will help keep more from forming). Wait 5-10 minutes after that, then put on a good moisturizer. Do this twice a day, for about two weeks. After two weeks start putting a pretty generous amount on.
I pretty much gauraningtee that it will work. I tried pretty much everything and they did jack . This did the trick. |

those are just urban legends told by old women at bingo gatherngs
none of them are true
eat all the food you want
no sweet or junk food causes acne
no worries!
and for people suggesting proactiv, dont waste your money on that
they basically give you 5% benzoyl peroxide + some ty cleanser which irritates your skin more than it helps it... |

Accutane is some ridiculously toxic . Avoid it like the plague. Seriously, go google for accutane side effects.
Oh, and fyi, your skin NEEDS OIL. Skin with natural oil = healthy skin. If you have oily skin, just wash your damn face every day with water, it does the trick. All these acne treatments that dry your skin out, whether topical or internal, are just making it worse. Acne is an actual bacteria, and the only substance proven to kill it is benzol peroxide. |
Roaccutane is great. I've had big problems with acne, then I went on teraphy with roaccutane.. The skin is now so much better, and I'm much happier, self-confidence.. You just need a right teraphy, good dermatologist and not to take more than 40mg per day.
If you have serious problems and if nothing else helps, go for roaccutane. |

Roaccutane does work.
For all people here who are saying toothpaste works, thats the most stuphidest thing I have ever heard. |

takin ruaccutane for the 3rd time.
In the first time, 4 years ago [ was 12 :wtf: yeah, my situation was BAD ] i stopped after 3 months [ out of 6-7 months ] because I got mentally-ill. I skipped school a lot, stayed at home all the time etc'..
after a year I again took this pills, and completed the 6 months threapy.
It helped, a lot.
Had a year break, and now I'm taking it for the 3rd time, but this time im taking it just to finish with this acne, and even only after one month of taking the pills you see a change.
btw, it has A LOT of side effects, like nose bleeding every now and then, your face and lips will be dry most of the time, and the mentaly "downs" you get sometimes.
mm, that's it I think.
Anyways, rauccutane worth any penny you spend on it. |
3 times is a lot. How much mgs do you take per day? |
