Acne Tips

sacilyc acid exfoliates dead skin cells from the lineing of the pores thus
stoping your pores from clogging,though its not doing it all together for me.It
does cause a peeling action

Happy New Year, everyone!<br><br>Just wanted to
post an update on my acne. Ever since I got back from
HI, it seems to have cleared up, especially my back
(which was my big problem). Anyway, since some people
here burn easily, I wouldn’t say that the sun
completely healed my acne. It did most of the work, I
think.<br><br>Plus, there’s my diet. I’m not completely vegetarian,
but I try to eat as much veggies and fruits as I can
as well as flush my system with H2O. I still eat
meat (can’t resist chicken) but only 2x to 3x a week.
Green leafy veggies helps my skin A LOT. During New
Year’s Day and the rest of the week, I threw caution to
the wind and ate meat and not too much salad and
fruits - now I’ve 5 zits on my back again…
:o(<br><br>Anyway, this strengthened my resolve to eat healthy.

You are not a freak. I know its hard but try to pick yourself up and not worry
too much about what people think.

People come up to you and say "You have pimples"
or something along the line of that. Then you think
to yourself "Well fuck you, thanks for informing
me… it’s on my face, you think I didn’t know that?"
<br><br>It’s not like we choose to get acne… and its not
something that we can fix right away.

man, i know what you mean, my whole face is just
red and it really pisses me off, and i’m so damn
paranoid to try anything anymore because i react to
everything. And people around me don’t really understand what
it’s like. I hate going out because I rarely see
people with a face like mine though I feel like less of
a freak when i do…

Can you please tell me how long did it take for
the Proactiv to clear your face?<br><br>I have been
using it for about two and half months and at times
seemed like was improving.. then gets to its very worst.
Also very drying<br><br>Any thoughts..Much
appreciated.

I had typical acne starting at the teenage years.
I automatically started to purchase Clinique both
cleansers and make up. There were times I tried to change
my cleansers, my diets etc. <br>However I was always
afraid to change my make up because I did not know of
another non allergic makeup at the time. Clinique was
always advertised as the BEST for sensitive skins. I had
acne (VERY BAD) and many scars to prove it till the
age of 40. I finally read something in this club
written by one of your members that stated she had a
problem with the CLINIQUE makeup. This was the 1st time
that it ever crossed my mind that I possibly might be
reacting to a NON allergic make up. I went to a derm for
suggestion on makeup. I continued to read your site and
started Proactiv which totally cleared my face. I am now

You really shouldn’t. My doctor tells me to never
ever touch my face, regardless of the state of the
pimple. But if you have to, only break the pimple with
the white head. Use a tissue as a barrier between
your clean fingers and the pimple. Use acne medication
on the spot when you’re done. But if you don’t have
to pick it, don’t do it!<br><br> Karyn

People tell me that I shouldn’t squeeze pimples. But a lot of the times they
build up with white stuff at look like they’re about to break. So should I
squeeze the white stuff out or leave it alone?

hi everyone! i never had acne until i was 24
years old. i never had a problem as a teenager and i
never thought that i would ever have an acne problem.
When i was 24, i broke out in big pimples on my cheek
bones and jaw line. they were sore. i was so suprize to
get this at 24years of age. i tried every product
from to get rid of it and it only made things more
purple. so after a year of hell, i went to my doctor who
told me i had adult acne. He gave me pills called
Dianne 35 and it worked great! i have some minor scaring
from the acne. my family tells me that i have very
little scaring considering the pimples i had. that is
because i never picked. now i am getting some
microdermabrasions done. i am on my 2nd sesion out of 6
microdermabrasions. although i have great skin now, i will never
