when i was younger during school days, i was acne prone and with usage of a set of proactiv, my skin became clear and smooth. it's true, it does help but muz be discipline.What is a good facial cleanser that is not to drying to help prevent and treat acne. i am desperate?
I like Clean and Clear Acne Wash. It is not drying and helped to get rid of acne for me.


However, I am now starting Clean and Clear Advanced Acne Clearing System instead. This line contains an acne cleanser which treats and helps prevent breakouts as you wash. It also contains a daily acne clearing lotion, which helps stop breakouts and treats existing blemishes. I will let you know how it works because it is supposed to work well in 2 days.


Another thing I like is honey. Apply honey to your face for 10 to 15 minutes 2-3 times a week and then rinse off. This will help get rid of acne scars and help treat acne.

Wow I was desperate 2, when I say desperate that means it was bad. The best thing to use is PROACTIVE its the best, it works very fast and your face will feel smoother than a baby's bottom. I hope u get some and it works out well.
proactive works but you must keep a routine as with any other facial wash
neutrogea facil wash with synthlic acid works great...you may have to follow with a oil-free mositurzer but it all depends on how dry your skin is....the wash has helped my acne a whole lot...but warning you have to use for like a few weeks to start seeing results.....good luck!
OK lets be real, acne's a b**** and it's the worst thing to get over but its not impossible. The best thing out there for it right now is Acutane, but, it is not for everyone that's why it is only obtained by a Dr's prespription. Some people tend to be allergic to the medicine, for a few percentage it does not work for, but usually it does, for everyone, even though after you stop using it the acne comes back, like with every other medicine after the treatment is over. It is really harsh on your body though, for women they can't take contraceptives or have kids due to some serious problems that can occur while taking it, other people experience horrible peeling and dryness.





Apart from all this, i used to have acne, apparently not bad enough for Acutane (according to my dermatologist) but it was still bad (at least i thought it was), so i was recommended this over the counter medicine called ';Nature's Cure';. They have two medicines, one formulated for men, and another for women, and among these they have the topical creams and face washes as well as pills that work from the inside out. I personally tried the cream and face wash. Since i started using it i have yet gotten another pimple, seriously, my face is progressing miraculously, alot of the blemishes are gone, almost all. Smooth skin, it does dry it a little bit but barely, everyone's complimented on it. A few more weeks and my face will be completely clear. To help with this i also get facials done, everyonce in a while to help with the deep cleaning, which helps alot to remove stubborn clogs and blackheads and so forth.





I know not all of these over the counter medicines work for everyone, like myself that i've tried Proactive and Murad and all those things and i actually got my face worse due to them. But this one worked, see if you can find it in a neighborhood pharmacy or drugstore, or supermarket (which some of them also sell them), or online in their website.





About a diet, the main cause of acne is not your diet, eating chocolate or drinking too much soda, it's an old wife's tale, BUT a good diet will prevent excess oils in the skin which will clog pores and cause breakouts.





The main cause of acne are your body's hormones, we can't fix those with a change in diet. For me i go to the gym about 5 days a week, and excercise, this helps your metabolism break fatty acids that may affect your hormone production, as well as providing an overall well being for the body and get you nice and fit, a little blood to the old pump is sometimes the best remedy for current health problems as well as future undeveloped ones.





Stress is another factor that people a lot of the time don't consider, it does affect your acne because too much stress will trigger hormone production in the body and well you know the rest. Try to take life easily, i know sometimes it's hard but you gotta try, for my stress, excercise wipes it all out, and it usually does for a lot of people so think about it.





Well i hope this helps you and good luck with what ever you end up trying.
Homemade face wash for acne:


Mix together 1 or 2mls each of the following: witch hazel, tea-tree and sweet fennel essential oils, adding essential oil of geranium for women and essential oil of rosewood for men. Mix with 300mls of water. Shake before use, as the oils will float on top of the water during storage. Dab affected areas with cotton wool two or three times a day. The oils will clean and unclog giving antibiotic-like protection to the skin.

Proactive didn't work for me. Clinique worked for a little while - very light %26amp; soft but then it didn't do much for me. Now I switch back and forth between regular soap (not a beauty bar like dove) and JASON organics Citrus Scrub. It's hard to find though. Health food stores sometimes carry it.
The best thing to do is talk to a dermetologist. But there are different types of creams that you can use, like:





DDF BP Gel (With Tree Tea Oil)


Johnson And Johnson Persa Gel


Biore Blemish Double Agent Treatment


Herbal Acne Cream


and others
