I had severe acne, i had to go through great pain with my face for over three years. I went to the GP and asked about it, he started me on a cream for 6 months- didnt work at all, he then gave me some tablets(they werent for severe acne)- so they didnt work after 1 and a half.. Until! He told me to see a dermatoligist finally, so we went to see him and he gave me two choices, the pill, or orratane. Its now 12 months later after many blood tests and quite bad side effects..BUT my face is perfect now, and theres a 80% chance it will never come back. I never expected to because it was so bad, and scaring you can somtimes fix with special creams.

AnswerOkay, so I've had acne for the longest time ever, since, like fifth grade, I think.

And I've found that the best way to get rid of it, is naturally, because I swear to god I've tried every single product [[pescriptions, over the counter, et cetera, et cetera]] until I got this natural remedies book that had a section on acne.

So I was like, whoa this is great, I'm totally gonna start rubbing food on my face all the time. Just kidding...but seriously:

Wash your face twice a day, once in the morning when you wake up, and once before you go to bed. But, I always wore foundation to try and cover up the fact that I had acne, so if you wear make-up then wash it off sometime in the afternoon, after school or work. Don't use medicated facewash at night, and preferrably just in the morning.

And another thing that works very very well, is Apple Cider vinegar. If you dab it on your acne before you go to bed [[for best results once of twice a day]] and leave it on, it works beautifully. But it does burn a bit and makes your eyes water. Also, aloe vera gel, before you go to bed, or lemon juice, or rubbing papaya skin on your face. Just alternate these random things, don't put them all on your face every night. That would take forever and I'm not sure how well it would work.

And, there are several other things like honey, honey works really good. But I've tried sleeping with it on my face...It was all over my pillows by the time I woke up. Mixing honey and cinnamon together and putting that on your face for a while, at least thirty minutes works good. Or honey by itself.

And even tomatoes. If you dab the excess Tomato Juice off and leave the slices on your face it works as a toner. Oh yeah and Witch Hazel [[an astringent used for cuts and rashes]] works really well and gets rid of scars too. Actually all the other things I named get rid of scars too, especially apple cider vinegar [[it worked the best for me]].

And vitamin E oil, you can get it at beauty supply stores or health stores like GNC, if you leave that on your face for a long time daily it works well. Even though it feels greasy and gets you all paranoid that it's gonna make you break out, it totally doesn't. Just don't touch your face while it's on there, that probably would make you break out.

Also if you mix nutmeg and unboiled milk into a paste and put that on pimples it gets rid of them, leave that on for about thirty minutes. And cucumber juice [[straight from cucumbers, I guess]] prevents acne, and makes your skin all fresh looking.

And I guess I wouldn't recommend this for a lot of people who are not that immune to pain, but Horse Radish Sauce clears up your skin really well, but do it about once a week, just put it on your pimples and leave it on for about thirty minutes. Although it burns A LOTT for a few minutes and makes your eyes water insanely. And I also have tried putting soy sauce on my face, that works too.

But you can also drink things that make your skin clear up, and if you drink them continuously, I'm sure they keep your acne from springing up. If you drink about 2 table spoons of apple cider vinegar about three times a day [[mixed with cranberry juice b/c it's disgusting without]], and drink green tea a lot, about 3-4 glasses a day, preferrably decaf. That works insanely well, it clears it up b/c of the anti-oxidants and prevents it, and it makes your skin tone even and clears up scars, also. And you can conveniently rub that used warm tea bag on your face and that works really great on acne and tightens pores and makes your face pretty, somewhat like a foundation. Also, I know it sounds cliche but drinking eight glasses a day. Idk, I think it has something to do with keeping your liver dehydrated which gives it more time to actually work better and clear out toxins better. And all of these things together can actaully help you lose weight too, without even dieting. It's crazy...

But try not to dry your face out too much, don't go insane and start torturing your skin with this newly learned information.

AnswerTry these simple remedies:

Wash your face with lukewarm water. You could opt for Neem based soap, Neem is known to be a good remedy for all skin related problems.

Apply fenugreek leaves paste over the face every night for sometime and wash with lukewarm water.

Usage of Aloe Vera is also suggested for Acne

Make sure that you wash off all the make-up cosmetics that have been applied before going to bed.

Applying paste of honey & cinnamom powder before sleeping & washing it off the next morning is also a good remedy

If your skin is not sensitive, you could apply lemon juice overnight and wash it of the next morning.

Wash your face with unboiled milk & gram flour

ANSWERAvoid using hot or cold water on your face. Facial skin is one of the most sensitive parts of your skin and should never be washed with anything else than lukewarm water. Hot water will burn the outer layers and cause the pores to open up too much, thereby exposing yourself to even more danger. Cold water, on the other hand will force the pores to contract and you will no longer be able to clean them, thus defeating the purpose of washing. Read the full article by following the link below.

ANSWER:

well this is my take on it-i used to have horrible acne. i didnt talk to anyone because i was so self conscious about how my acne. i wasnt really living life. i seen a dermatologist, and she put me on this stuff that made it even worse. i was completely miserable. i tryed EVERYTHING. acne-free, clearisil, pro-activ. nothing worked. but then i tryed the 4 step system from clinque, and it worked! i was so shocked. i wasnt expecting it to work. now i have clearer skin, and my self confidence went up. so you should try that stuff. you can buy it at your local mall. i know exactly how you feel. don't let it keep you down! just try it, it is amazing (:

Believe it or not, Birth Control is the best way for a girl. It clears up almost immediately. I used to feel the same way, I didnt know how to get rid of it and it was so imbarassing. My doctor recommended birth control for me when I was about her age and it was great. I know alot of parents don't like putting their children on birth control but sometimes, it's worth it.

Visit either your pediatrician or a dermatologist to be certain that your diagnosis is correct. Meanwhile, if you have changed soaps or detergents consider going back to the old brand.
