What are the best acne treatments?

i get acne really easily and its really hard to get rid of. I also get it in the most embarassing places like my neck, my chest and back, and my upper arms. What is the best/ cheapest way to eliminate acne?|||Squash a banana all over your face, leave for 10 minutes, wash off. (Make sure you fill the cells from the inside, too by eating bananas and potatoes and other potassium rich foods.) Follow that with smearing honey to kill the germs that might be thriving in the pores along with your potassium deficiency. Wash that off after 5-10 mins. Think I%26#039;m kidding? Honey is where we get hydrogen peroxide from.|||pro active|||Apply slices of tomato on your skin; the pulp of the tomato has astringent properties, which can prevent acne. More home remedies available at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/acne.html|||Proactive worked for me!|||Try Proactive. I had bad acne like yours untill I started using it loyaly. You should use it both in the morning and at night if your acne is REALY bad like mine, otherwise it%26#039;ll only reduce your outbreaks instead of stoping them. If it%26#039;s not that bad then you might get away with just using it at night like a friend of mine.





However if your skin is red where you have acne (either where a zit is about to happen or has already gone) you might want to check out a dermatologist for some topical antibiotics, b/c your acne is probably getting infected.





If the dermy gives you oral antibiotics as well and IF you get sick from what the doctor gives you (a possible side effect of combining a few of these topical and oral antibiotics) like food poisoning stop taking it and see a physician asap. Then go back to the dermy and tell him your prob with the last prescription. The dermy should give you a new prescription that will probably not have such side effects. If you still get sick, you can either give up or just use proactive or some other topical non-antibiotic treatment.





So far for me Proactive has done pretty well.





Good Luck!|||Over the counter products containing benzoyl peroxide (?) can help. Proactiv that you see advertised on television is also very effective. If these products don%26#039;t work you probably need to see a dermatologist. If you have health insurance it will probably cover the majority of the cost and the medication prescribed. Severe acne can be treated with Accutane. A prescription medication for cystic acne. Also be sure and cleanse the areas well with an antibacterial soap at least twice a day.|||Proactiv Solution.





I swear by it. It%26#039;s the ONLY think I will use.|||acne wash called BENZAC it has the same %26quot;active ingredient%26quot; in it as Proactive %26quot;Benzoyl Peroxide%26quot;.. it cost approx $15... so its alot cheaper than Proactive.. and does the same job :)|||last year when my 15 year old was so broken out on his face his doctor prescribed some antibiotics that he took for 3 weeks. it worked it cleared his whole face up.|||proactive really works trust me|||I use a product called Oxy. It works really well and i have much less acne now!|||You can try any product containing salicylic acid, like clean and clear or neutrogena, even the store brands. What you need to do is follow a regimen. That means using it daily twice a day or as instructed in the product. Some of this product have a guarantee, just read the back for contents and guarantee. Good luck!|||Hi,





it%26#039;s important to inform yourself first before buying the wrong solution. Products like e.g. accutane or proactiv (and those pills doctors prescribe) are aggressive and can cause damages to you and your skin since they contain harmful ingredients.





Your best bet would be to check out





http://usefulresources.info/natural-acne鈥?/a>





It%26#039;s one of the very few guides out there which teaches how to really treat the acne problem at its roots from inside and out, no matter which kind of acne you have. Without damaging your skin, all natural.





I%26#039;ve literally wasted hundreds on other %26quot;miracles%26quot; but the tips and steps outlined in this one are highly efficient, bring results fast and that%26#039;s what only counts for me.





Hope that helps.





All the best,


Mike|||There is no one best product.





But the best way to truly eliminate acne is through your diet. Healing from the inside can help prevent skin blemishes or the outside symptoms that you see on your skin such as acne.





With this, it is drinking plenty of water, eating fruits and vegetables to flush out toxins. If you have severe acne, you may even want to do a juice fast for a few days.|||There is no best acne treatment, different things work better for different people. You could try Nature%26#039;s Cure Two-Part Body Acne Treatment. That might work for you, and its cheap.|||Im not sure how much it costs, but ProActiv is the best solution, it helps clear away acne, but you have to do it for a week or so to make all the acne go away, but still it works.
