QuoteReplyTopic: OTC Acne Pills Posted: May 20 2005 at 2:37pm
Hi everyone!
Does any one have a recommendation for an over-the-counter acne
pill? I would love to go to a dermatilogist, but both my mom and
I have had run-ins with the dermatologists in our area so it's really
not an option. I started using "Nature's Cure" pills and didn't
notice much of a difference, but then again I could never remember to
take it as directed (2 pills a day -- wayyy too much for me to
remember! hehe). "Nature's Cure" is the only OTC acne pill I have
seen, but I haven't looked too hard. My acne is pretty mild, but
occasionally I have terrible flare-ups and (as a teenage girl) my
apperance is very important to me so any recommendation would be VERY
much appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!!
I used Nature's cure and I was happy with the results,it didn't make my acne go away but at least it prevented new ones from forming.But I took them twice a day..I also tried musafeen tablets,which are expensive(60$) and again it did not work miracles but in my opinion prevented it from going worse. After I read the post made by Jeffman i decided to take some multivitamins and that is what helped me the most.Try and track down that post(i think the title is I have found a cure to acne) and if you decide to try it be careful with consumption of vitamin A and others that are not water-soluble.Good luck!

I have never had very bad skin.But during my teen years my skin was very oily and I had breakouts here and there.Nothing seemed to work even though my skin wasnt really that bad.But I figured it out.I quit using any kind of cleanser.I would take a hot cloth(water only) and gently wash in circles to get off all the dead skin and to open up the pores to get out all the dirt and bacteria effectively.Then i would put on lotion.The lotion went on cool to lock in the moisture my skin was overcompensating for and to close pores back up to keep out dirt.Plus makeup goes on way better this way.I'm not saying this will necessarily work for you.But sometimes your skin needs a more natural aproach.i still use this method and my skin is flawless.I use nuetrogena visibly even moisturizer with spf15.Protecting your skin is very important too.

I don't think that not using cleanser is an option for me because my
acne has a tendency to blow up if I skip a night. And $60 isn't
really in my price range for a pill.
I'm telling you.Maybe your skin is irritated.Alot of people have really sensitive skin.And even though the cleansers say extra gentle.They are still too harsh for these skin types.I know.Ask your friends who have really good skin.I bet they do very little if anything to their skin right? Cleansing with those harsh products can really dry you out which is bad cause your skin is already overcompensating for not having enough moisture.I know your afraid of flareups.I understand.It can be embarrassing..But please at least try my method or something with my tips in mind next time you wont be going out for awhile.You might be pleasantly suprised.
