ok, so i have pretty bad acne, and I use neutrogena acne stress control cream cleanser day and night.
If i add a 10 mg zinc (organic gluconate) tablet everyday, will that help clear my acne?
im only a teen but should i be taking more than 10 mg?
and how long does it take to see results.

okay well i had REALLY bad acne.
so i started using Proactiv..
which SUCKED.
so i advise you NOT to use it.
…
then i went to the doctor like last tuesday.
and he gave me some samples for BenzaClin.
and said “if this works well you can perscribe it”
you use it 2 times a day.
and it drys your skin so i bought. olay face moizturizer with spf 15.
IN A MATTER OF 2 DAYS MY FACE WAS GETTING CLEARER
like right now the acne is fading.
its AMAZING.
not even lying!!!!!!
my doctor said it would take 3 weeks to get ALL of your acne gone.
((like the acne under your skin))
YOU SHOULD DEFINENELTY GO TO THE DOCTOR. AND ASK FOR THIS.
hope this helps =)
Neutrogena should be fine by itself. Try washing your face twice a day with a soap containing exfoliant (i.e. Dove’s “foaming facial cleanser”):
Rinse you face with warm water,
use the exfoliant soap.
Scrub very well
Rinse you face with warm water
wait 2-3 minutes
Rinse it with cold water
Personally, I think you are too young to be trying all these products. Acne is part of your life and will disappear sooner than you thing.
Using too many facial products will cause you to have wrinkles at an earlier age.
It will help, but it alone will not clear it up. You may need some topical ointments or gels prescribed by a doctor. You may also need an antibiotic and folow-up treatments. So if you can make an appointment to see a dermatologist as soon as possible.
do not try proactive it drys your skin out and it is crap, do not, i repeat DO NOT try proactive, it does nothing anyway.
if its really bad see a doctor, if your female you may have a hormone imbalance.
make sure you moisturise even if its oily
If you want fast results use proactive. It works in like THREE DAYS. Trust me, i’m 15, same problem, but now my skin is clear.
people do have a point though, it can cause wrinkles, but not if you wear sunscreen when you go out in the sun.
i think you should try pro active it is really easy and only 3 steps. It takes like 3 days to make a huge improvement.
just wash your face with soap and keep your face clean always
