I am a teen girl and i have acne I tryed alot of treatment but none of them really worked.?

Does Clean %26amp; Clear Advantage Acne Control Kit works on acne??


please do help me you wonderful people


thank u


and enjoy ur nigth|||Since you%26#039;re a teenager, you%26#039;re most likely getting acne from all the hormonal changes going on inside your body.





I tried the clean and clear kit and it did not work for me. It works for some, but not everyone...and you won%26#039;t really know until you try it yourself.





But, if you want to see more treatment options, check out these links:

Try not to stress out over it too much because you are your own worst critic!|||I used to have mad crazy acne. It was terrible. I tried all the stuff I could buy at the store. I tried Proactiv. I even went to the dermatologist and tried different antibiotics and creams that literally burned my skin. Then, after trying everything, I got on Accutane. It worked. It%26#039;s a pretty strong drug and it%26#039;s not for everyone. Really, like other people said here, all skin is different, but also there are different kinds of acne. If none of the stuff over the counter works (in my opinion, benzoyl peroxide products with at least 10% is the best for acne) go to a dermatologist and talk to them so they can help you figure out what kind of acne you have and the best treatment for it. And make sure you follow the directions they give you exactly to make sure te medicines works the best it can.|||Benzoyl Peroxide!! you can get it from over the counter at walmart. When you first use it, u will break out and ur skinw will get flaky cuz its drying out ur pimples, so use a moisturizer after u put it on. But then after a couple of weeks, ur skin will be so clear! Benzoyl Peroxide works by controlling the bacteria that cause acne. It can be used to treat acne on the face and body, and is most frequently found in cleansers, gels and lotions. I have the Benzoyl Peroxide 4% Acne Wash. You put it on at night and wash it off the next morning. But becareful cuz it can bleach ur hair, so dont put it on ur eyebrows lol.|||For me, when I was going through acne problems, I used Apricot Scrub Blemish and Blackhead Control. You can get it at Target or Walmart.





Here%26#039;s a picture of it:

For me, it worked really well. My face is now clear, and all my blemish, including acne is gone. I washed my face three to four times a day with COLD water. Hot, or warm, water tends to increase the oil in your pores. If your skin starts to become dry because you%26#039;re washing your face too much, decrease the amount of time you wash your face. In addition, I also drank a lot of water, and that helped, too.





It%26#039;s not a miracle worker, so give it some time to clear up your face.|||hmm i wouldnt know ive never used it.


but i used to have pretty bad acne and i used acne free.


its kind of like proactive, it has three steps to it, but you can buy it in stores like fredmyers, walgreens, and walmart.


it really cleared my skin up.


it works better than proactive.|||Use Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask and facial scrub

3. Eating healthy foods and cutting back on caffeine and sugars.

Do laser treatments for acne actually work?

I want to get rid of some scarring on my face... I am wondering if it works and what types of scarring (as in red marks or also deep scars)|||Yes, there are very effective laser treatments for acne scars. These are performed in a cosmetic dermatologist%26#039;s office and they combine ablative and non ablative treatments to reduce scars and reduce redness. Micro laser acne peels are quite effective. For active acne the dermatologist can perform other treatments, from deep cleaning and resurfacing to BHA and other acid peels that clean the skin, clean out the pores and help restore the form and function of the pore lining. Additionally the dermatologist has other non-laser light based treatments for acne including intense UV therapy. Do go to a registered and licensed dermatologist, don%26#039;t go to a spa that doesn%26#039;t have trained medical staff. Lasers can be dangerous if the user isn%26#039;t properly trained. There are also some skin types that shouldn%26#039;t use lasers, and some medications contra-indicate laser treatments and the medications thin the skin.





Laser treatments are not cheap and are not covered by many health plans. It is a medical treatment procedure so consult a doctor and do be aware of any and all downsides of laser skin treatments. They will know all the pros and cons and any side effects.

I have severe acne on my back and have tried acne and blackhead treatment???

Body acne is not always easy to treat, especially on the hard-to-reach back area, and is often more difficult to treat than facial acne because body skin is thicker. But with the right regimen, it can be successfully treated. Here are some effective tips on how to get rid of body acne:


*


Wash the acne-prone areas daily using an anti-bacterial soap like Dial庐 or a washcloth with a salicylic acid-based cleanser.





*


Follow up with a 5% to 10% benzoyl peroxide cream (the thicker skin on your body can handle it better than your face) to dry out the pimples, and then use a moisturizer with alpha hydroxyl acid to exfoliate and combat any dryness. You can also use the benzoyl peroxide to spot-treat specific pimples.





*


For unsightly places where body acne hides, aka your booty, gently use a loofah and exfoliating scrub while you鈥檙e in the shower to get rid of dead skin cells. Do not scrub the area roughly, which will only increase irritation and inflammation.





*


It鈥檚 especially important to wash acne-prone areas immediately after heavy perspiration. Take a shower as soon as you can after you鈥檙e done exercising or sweating heavily on a hot day.


*


Keep in mind that it can take up to six weeks to know whether or not your regimen is working, so don鈥檛 give up if you don鈥檛 see immediate results.





*


Try specific products for your body acne, such as Clinique鈥檚 Anti-Blemish Solutions Back and Chest Spray.





*


Don鈥檛 pick at pimples because doing so leads to further irritation and possible scarring.

Best Acne Spot Treatment?

I used to use Neutrogena 24 rapid clear to spot treat my pimples now it no longer works please suggest another really good spot treatment.|||Holly, understand that the very first step to treating and preventing acne doesn%26#039;t start with expensive products. The first step that every person must take to ensure healthy looking skin is proper hygiene and a healthy diet. One reason that acne is so prone in teenagers is because they don%26#039;t eat the healthiest foods on the face of the earth. A lot of times a lunch might consist of a soda and a handful of candy or chips. Those types of foods are literally poisonous to your system. What goes in your body must come out; and the way it comes out could result in grease through your pores. Take a look at your diet and make sure you are eating healthy foods, consuming the proper vitamin supplements, and drinking enough water throughout each day. It is also important to wash your face twice daily. Morning and night are the best times. If you are a make-up wearer, make sure you take your make-up off prior to getting a good night of sleep. Let your face breathe every so often by having a day off of make-up. And lastly, exercise. Exercising will keep your body at its prime and also, exercising makes people happy. A happy person is less likely to have an outbreak of pimples than a person who is under a lot of stress.





Now that you know how to care for your body properly we can look a little further into how to treat acne. No matter how well some people take care of themselves, acne is still going to show its ugly face.





Apply toothpaste to the affected area before bed and wash off in the morning. It will reduce redness and swelling. The same if true by applying egg white and washing off after 20 minutes. Try just washing your face twice daily with warm water and your hands. Nothing is cleaner than pure water. Flip your pillow case and lay on a clean side every night. This will help keep the oils away from your skin from night to night. There are a few homemade treatments that are simple and cheap that actually work. If you want to try a really good one, click on the link below:|||I%26#039;ve been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it%26#039;s at.





I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life.





I%26#039;m 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy.

It%26#039;s unique cause of it%26#039;s herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem.com at the time which was helpful.





You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn%26#039;t work it will still save you butt on the return policy.

Treatment for acne scarring?

I had bad acne when I was a preteen, now I still have some acne scarring on my back. Is there anyway I can lessen its appearance. Thanks!|||Pro-active|||O.K. There are a number of things you can do. You can go an have a series of peels done to lessen the appearance of the pitting. We often, at the medispa I work, do a process called subcision, where we numb the area that is pitted and insert a small needle under the area that is pitted and free the scar tissue that is creating the pitting. Then we do a process with a laser that stimulates the body to create more collagen in the problem areas. On the face we often inject small amounts of fillers into the areas that are pitted, bringing that area of skin level. Too much information?? Mild laser peels are good also especially if you repeat them but that%26#039;s more for the face.|||Skin isn%26#039;t dry because it lacks oil, but because it lacks water. Only a lucky few have %26#039;normal%26#039; skin; the rest of us have a dry, oily or combination variety; if dryness is your problem, read on. Symptoms most associated with Xeroderma (dry skin) are scaling, which is the visible peeling of the outer skin layer, itching and cracks in the skin.





Skin also receives less blood flow and lower gland activity. Skin also harbors many nerve endings that provide the sense of touch and heat. Skin is considered one of the most important parts of the body.





Epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin. The epidermis contains no blood vessels, and cells in the deepest layers are nourished by diffusion from blood capillaries extending to the upper layers of the dermis. The epidermis can be further subdivided into the following strata (beginning with the outermost layer): corneum, lucidum (only in feet), granulosum, spinosum, and basale.





Environmental factors such as exposure to sun, wind, cold, chemicals, or cosmetics, or excessive bathing with harsh soaps, can cause dry skin. Dry skin could be due to a genetic condition. Certain drugs, including diuretics, antispasmodics, and antihistamines, can contribute to dry skin. Bathing or showering too frequently, especially if one is using harsh soaps, may also contribute to xeroderma.





Use a humidifier if the air is dry. Dry your skin gently and thoroughly, patting not rubbing. Use as little soap as possible limiting its use to armpits and genitals.





Good skin is often a reflection of a good digestive system. Put 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in your smoothies. Fatty acids are particularly important to people with dry skin. You want to work from the inside out too. For an easy fiber boost, mix in 2 tablespoons of ground up flaxseeds in raw applesauce, from 2-3 apples, made in your food processor.





Also use a thin layer of coconut oil under your make-up to moisturize your skin all day. It just takes motivation, a willingness to try it, and diligent application of coconut oil several times daily and at bedtime to see its benefits. Use bath oils and moisturizers, especially coconut oil, at least daily. Apply a thin layer of coconut oil and massage it deep into the skin.





Sunlight, water and air play an important role in keeping the skin healthy. Dry skin can be converted into healthy skin using natural home remedies. The skin is subject to constant attack from without, so can be affected by numerous conditions, diseases and ailments.





Make sure to call your dermatologist when you have any open cuts or sores from scratching that won%26#039;t heal. You should see the results with improved skin within a few days following this advice. If nothing seems to work it might be more than dry skin, so you should see the doctor.|||Read tips on reducing the appearance of Scars or Stretch marks and Home Remedies to help you more on this site

Good luck! ;)|||ProActiv never worked for me.. Lol. I just usedNeutrogena Cream Acne Cleanser (orange bottle @ drug store/Wal Mart). It has like.. 2% salicylic acid. It works wonders. That%26#039;s what my dermatologist recommended, and she was totally right.


A few other things that helped:


Drinking tons of water.


Making sure my sheets and pillowcases were clean.


Using white washcloths and towels.


Oh-and make sure that immediately after you exercise, you take a shower.


Hope I%26#039;ve helped!|||theres many ways, if u have the moeny proactiv, if not if u want to make ur own like i do, theres tons of things u can use. egg whites. honey, milk, avacado, papaya etc. look up recipes for it but i think it works so much better than proactiv becuz for one its cheaper and its all natural.|||proactiv! i%26#039;ve used it since i was probably your age i%26#039;m 28 now and it%26#039;s the greatest! i never get zits/pimples. also if you%26#039;re not on birthcontrol that really helps out to.|||ProActiv is definitely the best.





I use it, and it definitely has great results.|||Try this!Good Luck!





All natural mask for oily skin=





1 mashed avocado


2 tbsp juice from a lime


1 tbsp honey





***Mix well and apply as mask. Let dry and rinse off.***





Avocado is also used traditionally to heal skin problems. The pulp is also believed to be both anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.





The therapeutic properties of lime in skincare are astringent, anti-scorbutic, antiseptic, antiviral, bactericidal, disinfectant, restorative and tonic.





Really, there is no simpler way to bring a smooth glow to your skin than with honey beauty recipes. Honey鈥檚 ability to absorb and retain moisture make it an ideal ingredient in a lot of cosmetics as it helps keep skin hydrated and fresh and prevents drying. It is known that ancient beauties regularly applied a mixture of honey and milk to the face to keep the skin young-looking, radiant, and smooth.





You will need the honey as balance. You want your skin to have a glow without being oily. You also don%26#039;t want a dried out face!





This all natural mask also has a cooling effect to it... Very soothing. It also smells delicious!! Relax and enjoy the benefits of nature! Good luck...I know you will enjoy!|||PRO-ACTIV, PRO-ACTIV, PRO-ACTIV

It works flawlessly for EVERYONE that I know.





It%26#039;s about $45 after the shipping BUT it works.|||I used to have really bad acne and i tried everything. i started using Proactiv about 3 months ago and it really does work. it takes a couple of weeks to start working but i was so shocked. try it i wish everyone one with acne would.|||hah put your period on it ;)|||When I was in high school I used to get a lot of acne as well... I tried all the creams you can get in stores and I even tried Pro Activ. None of these products seemed to do anything for me, and if anything, it made the acne worse. So I finally went to a dermatologist, and he prescirbed me a pill that I took twice a day... and they worked like magic. I had to take them continuously for about a year, but I%26#039;ve never had a problem ever since. I don%26#039;t remember what they were called, but I do remember that they were really little blue ones...

Acne scar treatment? ?

I am african american and I had acne pretty badly about a year ago, now my skin is clearing up for the most part but I have a few acne scars on my face, could anyone recommend me some products to use to help get rid of these please! Thanks!|||For my acne scars, I use Neutrogena acne mark fading peel. I hope you get the results you%26#039;re looking for.|||I%26#039;ve tried a lot of medications before but haven%26#039;t really help. As a last resort i choose natural remedies. I found that it has the real power of curing my acne. I%26#039;ve tried it and it really works for me, in less than one week you can already notice a lot improvement. I hope it helps you too.

I have combination skin, what are good acne treatments?

i was thinking about using clean and clear morning burst, where do u find that stuff? and what are other acne treatments that work good on combination skin? thanks!|||accutane is prescription only, and have learned that there are many side effects, as with a lot of prescription medications you take orally. i would recomment a mild astringent with no alcohol, and lotion with aloe.
