good way to get rid of acne

[ZeroHero]

Does anyone know a good way to get rid of acne?
I do not have sever acne, but it is indeed noticeable.

[Maya]

my suggestion is to use more gentler products. I used to use harsh products for acne that are all medicated but too much of these medicines are way too harsh for ur skin. One or two is fine though. I’ve used stuff from proactive, acnefree, medicated cleansers, expensive department store stuff like sheseido, differin, duac, etc. none of them worked very well for me. Most of them made my skin worse.
i have oily, acne-prone skin too. and i used to have a scatter of pimples all along my forehead too. but now it stopped and currently i only have two tiny whiteheads on my chin (barely noticeable).
But I have some acne scars on my cheeks and, thank goodness, they are actually fading away in a reasonable pace. i also, have some rough patches on my skin leftover from acne scars but they are becoming as soft as the rest of my skin with help from my skin products.
i tried the neutrogena acne mark fading peel. that didn't do anything for me at all... except maybe exfoliate my skin (and kinda irritated it too cuz my skin turns all red when i wash it away).

bottom line: its expensive and does not work.

i read some people's reviews on it online and it didn't work on them either.
so i stopped using that and started using some new products... and my acne scars are amazingly slowly fading away! i dont noe which product is doing this- it could be all of them!for the dark marks (acne marks), use AMBI skin lightening cream sold at drugstores, target, walmart, etc. for around $4.99. IMPORTANT: only put the cream DIRECTLY on the scar and the scar only! if u just spread it all over a certain part of ur face, it will turn into a blotchy mess and will take a while for it to return to ur normal skin color!

Here are the products I am currently using that has been treating my skin like a miracle:
cleanse with morning burst cleanser by clean and clear in the morning and oxygenating fizzing cleanser at night (also by clean and clear). use cooling daily pore toner by clean and clear and do not use an astringent which will strip away natural oils and cause ur face to produce more oil than needed.
use an oil-free moisturizer with spf 15 and above for day. use dual action moisturizer by clean and clear for night.
use persa-gel 10 for breakouts and pimples.
and use a clay mask containing sulfur once or twice a week (more on days of breakouts). try queen helene mint julep masque. or proactive refining mask. U can also spottreat and dab on a spot of it directly on ur pimples without rubbing it in. just dab lightly! and leave it on overnight. it should become smaller, less red, less noticeable, or disapear completely the next morning.
exfoliate with the Neutrogena invigorating foaming scrub only once a week.

Also, after I washed my pillow and blankets (that I hadn’t washed for a few weeks), my skin stopped breaking out so much everytime I wake up in the morning. I realized that wherever I put my face on the pillow, I wake up the next morning with a huge red pimple right on that spot where my face was on the pillow! So wash it every week or as much as possible. And also wash ur towel. Don’t use a washcloth because it collects bacterias everytime u wipe ur face with it and it gets all over ur skin… unless u wash it after every single time u use it. Instead use tissue paper, toilet paper, or paper towels to blot ur face dry.

i hope that helps! :]

These things worked for me in keeping my acne under control. I use facial care products with tea tree oil in them, The Body Shop has some really great stuff. I have also limited the amount of greasy foods that I eat and have begun to increase the amount of water that I drink during the day.

Here is what has helped me a lot:

As mentioned before, only use a wash cloth once before washing it. You can purchase a dozen for under $5 at most discount stores. I prefer wash cloths because of the exfoliating benefits, but to each their own.

Change your pillow case every night. Make this a part of your night time routine. It will help.

Drink plenty of water. I know you've heard this a bazillion times before, but it helps not only with clearing the skin but healing scars.

i dont use any products to avoid acne and i dont really have acne problems.

my problem is that i get pustules from shaving, and i dont know why.

There are so many possible causes of acne.

For me, getting rid of it is just to drink lots and lots of water. Have enough sleep and some exercise.

And yes, use products that have tea tree oil, that is one main ingredient to remove acne.

I have been bothered with acne's before. But ever since I have used Kate Jones Products, acne is not my problem anymore. I am not sure if these products are available worldwide.

Sometimes, diet and stress also has something to do with acnes. Better, avoid oily foods and stop from thinking a lot and get enough sleep.

A major factor in regards to acne is genetics- skin type, ph, oil production. You must have been blessed with good skin:)

There's a lot of products to help combat it, depending on the person, some may work great, while some may not work at all.

Your best bet is to try, and see if changing your eating habits can improve the condition. Sometimes eating too much oily food will worsen it.

I just leave it and it goes away. Products just dry my skin out and make it worse I feel. I think im going to try drinking more water though as I really dont drink enough.
