I know this is a really old, boring question that has been asked at least a million times, but what I’m looking for is a list of as many remedies as possible. I’d really appreciate it if you could mention everything you know works against face and body acne. I’m bound to learn something new that way. Thanks!

The tricky part about acne is that the problem can actually become worse if you overmedicate. That’s because acne medication can overdry the skin, causing a boost in your skin’s Sebum (oil) production. This results in…you guessed it – more acne.
So what’s the long term solution? Find gentler solutions or even natural acne cures that won’t shock your body into more breakouts. Here’s what I recommend:
- Use a glycerin based facewash. Glycerin is gentler and will balance the ph levels in your skin.
- For body acne, try using an antibacterial soap to slowly dry out the skin. If your skin gets too dry, switch to a moisterizing soap like Dove to counterbalance the effect.
- Wash your face only 2 times a day max and gently pat dry with a towel.
- Use a gentle face moisterizer if the glycerin based face wash drys you out too much.
- Eat almonds
- Eat lots of fiber
- drink lots of water
- avoid excess sugar intake. It causes Candida Acne
- If acne medication isn’t working or causing new breakouts, try applying egg whites to the pimples at night before bed. This natural remedy works great.
- One of my favorite natural skin conditioners is wearing an “oatmeal mask”. The oatmeal with smooth your skin while simultaneously absorb toxins and oils from your pores.
- Once naturally remedy is putting a dab of toothpaste (the paste kind) on irritated pimples before bed. The alcohol and zinc in the toothpaste will gently dry out the pimple without irritating the skin.
- moisterize with an oil free moisterizer to prevent overdrying and further breakouts.

Hello Friend,
I also had a same problem and that was a kind of mental torture for me but I came to know about an awesome product of Quixtar. I had tried hundreds of different acne treatments, from antibiotics, accutane and over-the-counters, to 3 step cleanser systems, 3 day fasts on apples and drinking nothing but lemon water…and none of these worked to clear my acne. I can only sympathize with those that have acne and have tried ‘everything’. It’s frustrating and upsetting. But there is a way to clear acne, and this is how I cleared my acne. Only the Quixtar Independent Owner can sell this product. Satisfaction is guarantee, if for any reason you are not completely satisfied with these products; you may return it within 180 days of purchase for an exchange or refund of the product price and applicable tax.

These are some options:
Chemical peels are treatments used for acne that involve a chemical solution applied to the skin -> http://cureacnezone.com/acne-treatment/a…
In the 1990s, a study was conducted to find out if acupuncture helps get rid of acne. The tests were performed in both China and Russia on patients that were not having any luck with topical creams -> http://cureacnezone.com/acne-treatment/d…

1) Wash your face at regular intervals.
2) Avoid oily foods etc.. etc..

I recommend using a tea tree soap bar twice a day. Then after apply Tea Tree Oil. It is natural and the oil is an antiseptic so it kills germs on your skin. It doesn’t dry out my face or clog pores. I have been using it for a few months and my skin is 100% different. Make sure you use it everyday. You will see results in a week. You can buy it at health stores and one brand I use is “Thursday Plantation”. It is about 15$. I highly recommend this practice. It really works and is good for your skin!
Good luck
Well depends on how bad you want it gone, if you want it gone instantly then you should go to a dermatologist and they will prescribe you with a medicine called Proaccutane. 30 capsules to be taken twice a day for 15 days, it’s the best way, it worked for me and i dont have any acne anymore!
write listen to this. dont listen to the others cuz they dont no what they are talking about. i was reading all these answers on yahoo for about 2 months, and i have to say that i tried all of them and none worked. the only or best way to get rid of acne is go and see your doctor i went to see mine and my acne has got alot better. it doesnt work instanly but after about 3-4 weeks you will notice a difference.
hope that helped and trust me just dont waist time see your doctor.
I started having really bad acne problems beginning when I was 16. I had acne on my shoulders that was making me self-concious. I tried Proactiv, Zyporex, Aceneticin, and even the Asso Gold Cleaning Bar with dismal results. I wound up contacting a local dermatologist. After 2 months nearly all of my acne cleared up. I recommed you try finding a local dermatologist that can help. http://www.homeacnecare.com
I have researched a lot on this subject. The best I have come up with is a home remedy from Care2.com. I will send you a link there are a couple great recipes that I have tried that work really well.
good luck and please give these home remedies a try.
peace

Acne : Home Remedies suggested by users
All-fruit Acne diet
To begin with, the patient should take only an ‘all-fruit’ diet for a week, taking three meals a day, of fresh juicy fruits, such as apples, pears, grapes, grapefruit, pineapples, and peaches. Only unsweetened lemon or plain water, either hot or cold, should be drunk and nothing else.
Well-balanced Acne diet
After the one-week, all-fruit diet, the patient can gradually adopt a well-balanced diet with emphasis on raw foods, especially fresh fruit and vegetables, sprouted seeds, raw nuts, and wholegrain cereals, particularly millet and brown rice. Further short periods of the ‘all-fruit’ diet for three days or so may be necessary at a monthly interval till the skin’s condition improves.
Avoid strong tea/coffee, soft drinks and processed foods
Meats, sugar, strong tea or coffee, condiments, pickles, soft drinks, candies, ice cream, refined and processed foods should be avoided as far as possible.
Other Acne natural treatments
Warm-water enema
During the initial one week ‘all-fruit’ diet, a warm-water enema taken daily cleanses the bowels. Apply hot fomentation locally to open up the pores and to bring out the waste matter. Then rinse the affected parts with cold water.
Hot Epsom salts bath
A hot Epsom salts bath twice a week is beneficial in all cases of acne. This bath is prepared by adding 1 ½ kg of Epsom salts to 60 litres of water having a temperature of about 37.8° C. The patient should remain in the bath tub for 25-35 minutes till he sweats freely. After the bath, the patient should cool off gradually.
