I think I have adult acne. Anyone know of a solution that may help?

I%26#039;ve already tried ProActive and it didn%26#039;t work. It left me with what looked like %26quot;blood filled bumps%26quot; instead of pimples!!!


I%26#039;ve tried the Loreal adult acne kit, and it helped a lot, but it hasn%26#039;t completely cleared the problem. Any other options?|||take about four aspirin and dissolve them in a few drops of water.. add in a squirt of honey and make it into a paste.. you can also add in a few vitamin e capsules if ya like.. this can be used as a scrub, mask if left on for ten minutes, and a spot treatment left on over night..





aspirin has the same active ingredient as pro active..





another thing i do as an exfoliate is i scrub my face with an electric toothbrush.. it%26#039;s sounds kinda weird but it works.. it really cleans out your pores and removes dead skin, oil and dirt.. you can use any scrub ya like or the aspirin i mentioned.. i like to use st. ives.. and i do it about three times a week..





only wash your face when you wake up in the morning, before you go to bed, and after exercise.. excess washing makes your face produce extra oil..





warm water opens pores and cold closes them.. so wash with warm and rinse with cold..





also you may want to get a good toner and moisturizer.. not astringent because it contains a ton of alcohol and is rough on your skin..





a whipped up egg yolk left on the face for ten minutes is a natural moisture mask.. a whipped up egg white will tighten your face..





and watch the make up you use if you%26#039;re female.. a mineral make up is so much better for your skin.. it doesn%26#039;t clog your pores or make you break out.. i like to use bare minerals make up..





i hope this helps..|||I love ST IVES APRICOT SCRUB for blackheads/blemishes its a great exfoliator and moisturizer Ive also been using lemon juice once daily it works great against acne and its also a scar fader and skin brightener vitamin c is great for skin

I love Murad, I used Proactive too for awhile and it only worked after I stopped using the face wash and after they sent me the extra strength kit. I switched to Murad because it uses Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acid. You can get an acne kit with cleanser, acne gel, on the spot pimple treatment and moisturizer that will last for 2 months for $60 which is the same price as ProActive. The acne gel does sting a bit when you first start to use it but you only use it once it day in small amounts to start until your skin gets use to it. I really like the way it makes my skin feel so I started out using the acne gel twice a day. My skin did start to peel but I used a baby wash cloth to slough off the dead skin.


I%26#039;ve been using it for 3 weeks now and my skin feels softer, I have fewer pimples and my husband and coworkers have even said my skin looks like its glowing! Glycolic acid is the key which I don%26#039;t think ProActive uses but don%26#039;t quote me on that. But I can say the book %26quot;The Acne Cure%26quot; says glycolic acid is a must to help clear the cells that can get trapped with dirt and oil to cause the pimple in the first place.





You can find the Murad Acne Complex kit on eBay too for about $45 for a 2 month supply as well.|||Talk to a dermatologist. They are able to look at your skin closely to evaluate the problem and find the best solution.|||Mix lemon juice, rose water and glycerin in equal quantities. Apply daily before retiring to bed. Eat a lot of green vegetables like spinach, cabbage, beans, peas, lettuce, etc. A salad and fruit should be taken daily. Check out http://useinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.
