it's probably a good idea to see a derm if it's more than just a spot or two every month or so. He/she can either give you medicine or tell you ways to prevent them. ------------- "Honey, I've always said if your genitals are on the outside, you're hiding something on the inside!" ~ Karen Walker ...~*Whitney*~... |

Find a product with beta hydroxy acid and one with benzoyl peroxide. The beta hydroxy exfoliates the skin and readies it for the benzoyle peroxide which disinfects the skin to rid it of acne. I'm a big Paula's Choice fan (can be bought on the internet www.cosmeticscop.com) and those are the products I would recomend. There are many Benzoyl peroxide products at the drugstore, however.

I just started using Neutrogena products (I started a thread called Neutrogena for adult acne). I am amazed so far at the results. I took their online skin evaluation and have been using the products recommended for me for less than a week, with dramatic results. Check it out, you might like it. I am generally a product snob, I used to sell department store cosmetics, and I still use high-end brands for color products. Neutrogena is middle of the line, not really inexpensive, but high quality with a lot of research behind their products. They can be found at grocery/drug stores, Target is a good place. Best of luck. ------------- Information is the key to making good decisions - share what you know with others. |

I've had really good luck with Clean&Clear products. I started using it because it was the cheapest and found that it worked. But that's just me. Others might find they have different results. Good luck.  ------------- Jenna |

Acne is a common inflammatory skin disease that mainly affects the face, neck, chest and upper back. It is caused by an interaction between Hormones, bacteria and sebum produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. Symptoms show as comedones (pimples), pustiles (lessions filled with pus) and occasionally Cysts. ------------- Emma Watson |

If a topical solution is being used and the acne doesn't clear up... most people don't realize that a simple colon cleanse will help greatly. Almost everyone at some point get blockages or the walls may not be clean which will cause a kind of toxification which is then distributed in the blood stream. The skin can break out or sometime even a rash will occur in response to the body being "poisoned" by what is called grey matter. The stuff that stick to the colon walls until it gets cleaned. ------------- Wish You The Best In Natural Hair, |

Acne is a disorder of the skin caused by inflammation of the skin glands and hair follicles. Since it forms under the skin, washing away surface oils does not do much to prevent or cure it. Acne treatment falls into three categories: 1.Cleansing and Exfoliating 2.Keeping It Clear 3.Medications ------------- |

Well, try using over-the-counter products with
benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide is a home remedy for acne very good
because it breaks the record of dead cells, bacteria and oil into the
pores. You can start using a lotion with a low concentration of benzoyl
peroxide, such as 2.5 or 5 percent. If your acne does not improve
within four to six weeks, you can try a lotion or gel of 10 percent.

My http://puraskinacnetreatment.com.au/ - acne product doesn't contain benzoyl peroxide, it's purely natural but effectively clears the acne. It also leaves without scarring and made the skin soft and smooth as new.
