I’ve tried lots of products to help cure me acne and none seem to work not even Proactiv, so that was a waste of my time buying it from the mall and my money -.-”
Now I am willing to try home remedies. I prefer fruits over vegetables, but if it helps, tell me which one:) Thanks.

OMG: Do not try that “urine therapy.” Anyone who does, is either desperate or nuts.
Try washing your face with some good ole soap & water. I use Dove bath soap & my face is not only soft, but it’s acne free. Using circular motions, wash your face for two minutes. That is enough time to open your pores & clean them out. Make sure you use a “wash cloth” & not just your hands. The wash cloth will remove dirt & oils that clog the pores. If the pores aren’t cleaned out well, they close with the dirt & oil trapped inside. That’s why you end up with acne.
After you rinse your face well with warm water, splash some cold water on your face to close the pores. Drinking a lot of water daily, will flush out the impurities in your body, & before long, you’ll notice a difference in your face, your skin, your nails, & your hair. Your body needs water!!!
Keep your hair clean as oily bangs resting on the forehead, can cause acne.
When I was in high school, I washed my faced twice daily & three times daily on weekends, with Noxzema. I used it just like I did a bar of soap. When I was through patting my face dry with a towel, I applied a little of the Noxzema to my acne. If you decide to try it, & you wear a creamy/liquid makeup base, make sure you wash your face thoroughly at the end of the day. NEVER…go to bed with makeup on or you will have more acne than you would care to have.
edit: If you decide to try the Noxzema, it’s cheaper to buy it at the Dollar General or Family Dollar.
if you want to use home remedies, take oatmeal and grind it up really really good and mix with water. smear it on your face but not too long b/c it’s hard to get off if it dries completely. me and my friends used to do this when we were young and didn’t have a lot of money. it worked well. but may i suggest using the new aveeno face wash. i started using it a week ago and it got rid of all pimples and my complexion looks so good i’ve been getting compliments. keep trying and good luck-it’s harder for some to figure out what works with their skin type.
Apply tea tree oil to the area several times each day. Some research indicates that tea tree oil is just as effective as benzoyl peroxide, the number one over-the-counter acne treatment.
This is going to gross you out. But apparently it works for many many people and also works with other flaws as well.
