OXY pads
Neutrogena grapefruit ace cleanser. its around eight dollars i think, and you can get it at local drugstores.
also anything from Dove works extremely well. good luck!
clean and clear continuous control acne cleanser. its in a purple bottle
Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser works great ! It’s so light and doesnt irritate skin at all.. it’s great for all types because ive watched and read SO many reviews on it to make sure if i should purchase it to prevent my breakouts, and i recommend it highly ! You can get it at any drugstore for 6$, but if you want the bigger bottle 11 dollars. Walmart/Walgreens/CVS are always having sales so im sure you can find yourself Cetaphil there for an even cheaper price.
Try Apricot Scrub from St Ives for Blackheads!
I have spent all this money on crappy stuff like proactiv, just to find out it NEVER works! Use something simple! If I would recommend something it would be, Clearasil Acne Scrub and Cetaphil. Those two have worked the best for me! Good luck!
proactive worked for like 3 months…but my skin got used to it. no i use mary kay face wash ONLY. no chemicals. it has been working for over a year now! i still get a few around my period and such, but other than that…its good. oh and i used clinique acne system for a while too, same as proactive..lots of chemicals and it only worked for a few months. mary kay acne system is the best for me!
Proactiv!!!!!!!! I am using Proactiv now and it is amazing! Proactiv is wonderful! I had mild acne and now my face is almost all the way clear. You don’t have to order Proactiv, there is a Proactiv machine at the Lakeland mall, and there might be a Proactiv machine at your mall too.
I used proactiv and just about any acne product i could buy and couldn’t find anything to actually clear up my skin. I stopped using facial cleansers all together. I just wash my face with hot water and i wipe my face with rubbing alcohol. For the pimples I put some Terminator 10 spot cleaner on in big globs at night after my shower and let it soak into my skin. I had acne kinda bad though. That completely cleared my skin up.
Now, I use some Aveeno face wash once or twice a week. But really, i’ve never found any fancy face cleaner to work. Just try hot water.
try aveeno clear complexion daily moisturizer and cleanser. it works great. it evens out your skin tone and prevents breakouts. its perfect for sensitive skin
good luck.
i used zapzit and it got rid of acne in my face but as soon as it cleared up i stopped using it. Then it came back from stress and whatever so i tried using acnefree but it didnt help much so i stopped using that and tried "clearasil vanishing acne cream" and after 3 weeks of using it it’s all gone! I also used clearasil cleansing pads twice a day when i am out and can’t wash my face.
Although the vanish acne cream uses 10% benozyl peroxide which can bleach clothes, towels and such so you have to be careful.
I also have been pinning up my bangs more often which help clear my forehead.
it worked really well for me and i hope it will work for you.
Now all i have to get rid of now are my scars =x
Hi Sandib
Acne and Pimples
Here are a few tips that I found on the net that may help.
1. Try to wear makeup that is not oily pr oil based as this can cause a bad problem with acne flare up. I may mention this more than once but remember to stop squeezing your pimples as this will cause scarring and is totally unnecessary.
2. Another really effective way to stop pimples is to place an ice pack on the infected area every twenty minutes or so and hold it down for a prolonged period of time once an hour until you see a change.
3. If you are absolutely desperate and have no other choice because nothing else is working then I suggest using a concealor as this will provide a temporary fix to the problem area.
4. An old fashioned method of stopping pimples is to simply place a little tooth paste on the area and watch it dry right up. This will also help you at night so as to place a dab of your favorite tooth paste on the infected area and in the morning it should be greatly reduced if not gone all together.
5. Do not squeeze or pick at a pimple, as this will only cause it to get worse. Try good old fashioned, natural soap on a regular basis in addition to the things that have already been mentioned.
The following suggestion on how to stop squeezing your pimples and treat your acne infected area are a start in good overall facial hygiene and care.
