Anyone knows solutions to acne problems?

My friend came back from a trip to LA about 2weeks ago and her acne face is almost all better!!

She told me that she bought an acne set from a little boutique on Rodeo Dr. in Beverly Hills... it was ONLY $12.99 for 3products, cleanser, moisturizer and troubleshooter. i wonder if it will work for me or not... $12.99... worth trying, right?

you know what? she DOES eat TOFU a lot!! hahaha
mayb it is TOFY that helped, huh?

i knew japanese cosmetics are good but did not know japanese food are that great too!

No topical will give you a long term cure from acne. You need to adress both the internal and external. It is important to get alot of omega 3's because they rid the body of inflammation which causes acne flare up and you need to avoid bad oils and foods that contain omega 6 because this oil leads to internal inflammation and acne. The products you choose to use should not be to drying because it will only temporarily rid your skin of acne and in the long term age your skin much quicker. So I highly recommend finding a non-comedogenic natural moisturizer to use in combination with any benzoly peroxide or salicylic acid based product you may be using so that the skin is not being robbed of it's elasticity and health. There are a lots of good product lines out there that are natural and desigend for acne-prone skin. I see clients all the time who have relied on proactive and thier skin is aged way beyond its years. Its all about finding balance in your life with food, supplements, skincare and of course emotional and mental balance.

You know to be honest there really ISNT a cure to acne. You either have it or you don't. I have fought it most of my 40 years. I have tried just about everything known to mankind. Topical, antibiotics, cleansers, laser, blue light treatments, etc. You name it, I tried it.

There isn't a supplement/vitamin, certain food, cleanser, toner, topical, Rx, etc that will make your acne go away. Some will out grow it, others will battle with it forever. It is just something that you have no control over. Sure there are things you can do to keep it at bay. Depending on how severe your acne is. I can say I never had a "clear face day" in 20 years. I always had lumps and bumps on my face. The kind that hurt like @$#%!! I had cystic acne. Most wouldn't pop, and they would stay red and inflamed for EVER!

In the end, the only thing that helped me was taking Accutane. AND it was the one thing I tried to avoid at all costs. I only wish I would have taken it sooner so I could have enjoyed an acne free complexion in my 20's and 30's, rather than waiting til my 40's!

It depends on your acne. Do you get cysts buried deep that take weeks to come to surface?
I'm in my 40's and I recently began getting cysts "again" around my jawline. I say "again" because I had severe cystic acne in my 20's that left me with some scarring. Ick! I feel for anyone who has this frustrating skin disorder. I found a fantastic dermatologist who put me on a prescription of spironlactone, which is my new beauty miracle. Within 2 weeks - no more cysts.. I know with my acne it's hormones so
for me this drug worked. Has anyone else on here been on spironlactone?

Giashana, no I never tried the spironlactone. I have heard great things about it though. I bit the bullet and went on Accutane for 6 months and it cleared me of the adult cystic acne.

Acne can be such a downer so I am glad the spironlactone is working for you, that is awesome. There are so many products out there you just really have to try them and hope one works for you-

There are several great products for acne with Benzoyl peroxide being one of the most frequently used active ingredient.

But possible side effects of the ingredients include redness, dryness and flaking. Personally, my skin reacted in a very sensitive way towards benzoyl peroxide. My face literally swelled up and became so red and dry it lasted for about a week.

So here is a natural but effective acne treatment for you.

Cucumber treatment:

Liquify a peeled cucumber in a blender and apply the juice to the acne. Another variation of this remedy is to drink four or five cups of cucumber juice daily for a week. This is said to purify the blood and lymphatic system, resulting in a clearer skin. Or simply, eat a cucumber daily as a snack.

Living proof: My best friend struggled with acne covered all over her face. Since she started to eat a cucumber for about a month, acne disappeared. Her face has never been clearer now.

If you struggle with acne problems, please try this and experience how cucumber will improve your skin.

I consulted a dermatologist and this is what i have been prescribed....by the way,i have moderate acne.....
1.Doxy T(100 mg) one tablet every day.....It kills acne causing bascteria..
2.Faceclin,which is a topical cream containing Clindamycin & Niacinamide,kills acne causing bacteria at the epidermal level....
3.A Calamine lotion containing aloe vera,dimethicone,liquid paraffin and Olivem 800, It soothes the acne and rashes caused by it and also works on scars left by acne.... I have been using these for the past 21 days....and i must say,it's working very well....The doc asked me to do this for 2 months and all my acne will be gone.....but,its gone in just 21 days......but,I need to continue the treatment a month more so that the acne does not come back...

I have been suffering from acne problems and sometimes they really get worse. I have tried many of the anti-acne products available but I am not satisfied with them as I feel that the results they give are just a matter of time. Can anyone suggest me a good remedy for this?

hi jenna,
It is very good for your skin if you drink a lot of water, eat plenty of fruit, veggies etc.
you could try and get a topical lotion called DALICIN.
Here in the UK it is only available on prescription, however it may be easier for you to get where you are.
i have not come across anyone yet who has said they have not had damn good results!!
try and get it and good luck,,(google it if you feel the need to do so)
