How can i get rid of acne?

Asked by duker over 2 years ago, 6 answers.

I'm 24 and I've tried everything (Retin A, Differin, Benzoyl Peroxcide, Proactiv, and even Accutane 2 different times!) I've heard diet can play a roll in acne, but I don't know what I should eat/not eat to help it.

Any advice or suggestions would be...

great (from natural cures to homeopathic treatments, to diets, to pills). Thanks

Usually store bought products don't work. You must be seeing a dermatologist because those medications you listed are only available through them... have you tried the pills yet? They are pretty large.. but ask your dermatologist for some. It may be that you have acne UNDER your skin that you can't see. Cystic acne. Very painful. Some of them surface eventually. So give that a try, also.. just keep up a regular face washing routine. I wash mine every morning and every evening. Sometimes I'll wash it in the middle of the day depending on what I've been doing. One last thing, are you stressed out? Stress can be a HUGE factor in acne.. which is why sometimes it seems like it just won't go away. The stress is always there, so is the acne. It's basically impossible to not get stressed in today's world, but just set aside some downtime and relax. Meditation, believe it or not, REALLY helps. I've been doing yoga for about 7 years now, and it helps with stress more than you can possibly imagine.

I think stress has alot to do with it. I'm a very stressed person, and this summer I just started my Master's program, and 8 weeks ago I just started teaching special ed for the first time. I love my students, but it's very stressful. Maybe some yoga or something will help with the stress? Any ideas on how to deal with stress then?

i have the same problem. ive tried everything also and thought it would just never go away! But after using noxzema. im not sure if it works on both male and female but it worked for me. It took time but youll feel the changes. not to mention that its not expensive at all. you can pretty much get it at any target, walmart, or anywhere you shop for those products.

Firstly using substances derived from vitamin A like retin-a or tazarotene, to reduce inflammation of the skin and to unplug pores. Retin-A can cause skin reddening at first but this is quite normal as the skin's blood supply is improved and younger looking skin begins to appear presenting a youthful complexion. Using a product that includes zinc will also help the vitamin a function better.

Strong cleaners will actually make acne worse because they take so much oil out of your skin that your body automatically produces MORE oil, making it worse. What you need to do it buy a gentle cleanser and moisturize with a oil-free lotion.
