Acne Tips

I have been facing acne problems for 8 or 9 years. We all agree that
we cannot get rid of them by buying expensive things only. Also
please note that something that helps someone get rid of his/her
acnes may not be working for you as we all have different types of
skin. So its better not to buy anything you hear.
There are some general things I beleive that works for all of us
like:

wash your face (face soap, cream or gel doesn’t matter)
dry it with paper towels not with fabric towel
wipe it (tonic or soda water doesn’t matter)
cream it (choose your cream by yourself according to your skin)
definetly use sun protecting creams even in winter before going out
(it prevents acnes to leave spots after)
make pilling once in a week and make clay mask after

Hi! I’m usually just a lurker, but wanted to let anyone with mild to
moderate acne who doesn’t want to take anibiotics what seems to have
been working for me. I stopped my tetracycline about 6-8 weeks ago, but
so far I’m ok. I wanted to give my body a break from the antibiotics
for a while. I read about an aspirin mask on healthboards.com and it
seems to be working pretty well. I use an at home microdermabrasion
scrub (the kind you use the sponge tool with, not the rub with your
hands kind) then follow with the aspirin mask. My skin has been very
smooth and pretty clear. I use the mask on my back and it has kept it
prety clear and very smooth. Basically it’s just uncoated generic
aspirin (6-12 tablets, very cheap at walmart) mixed with just enough
water to make a paste. Put it on the affected area and let it sit for
about 5-10 minutes, them wash it off. Hopefully it will continue to
work.
Good luck to everyone. I know it’s hard to find something that works,

Hi,

Has anyone ever heard of a thing called silver colloid?
It states that it can get rid of acne amongst heaps of other viruses
and infections. It is water with electrode charged silver ions in it.
I know it sounds weird but it only contains some silver in it. take a
teaspoon a day and within a matter of days to weeks it will kill of
the bacteria and infections that cause acne and pimples. i am a bit
weary of this product and wondered if anyone had any advice?

Has anybody ever heard of it? do you have advice before a venture into
this product?

Anything would be great!
Bye,

I am new to this group. I had previously suffered with acne for
years, and tried everything from straight up alcohol to antibiotics,
if it worked my face felt raw and dry, or the rest of my body paid
for a clear face.. I have recently purchased [last 3 weeks] a new
product from the vitacost.com website that my friend told me about.
It is called Praventin. I was very scepticle at first because it is
a dietary supplement, but it worked. I have seen a significant
improvement in the red pimples going away and my pores are smaller.
Maybe try this product. Best of luck to u. Apryl

If you have oily skin don’t use a moisturizer. If you have white heads and
black heads then use tea tree oil for spot treatment, and facial clothes for
daily cleansing. The clothes help exfoliate dead skin cells and remove makeup.
If you use foundation, use an oil free matte mousse kind. A non-comedogenic
powder will help control oil thoughout the day.

Any help would be wonderful

Thank you

Friends,

I am new to this group. I am interested in knowing more about Acne Treatments.

One of my chat friend introduced me to this site for Acne Treatments and Acne
Cure Methods . I found this quite useful.

Expecting to get some quick tips on Acne Prevention and treatment methods.

Cheers,

Just a question??
Do you eat a lot of sweets, cakes etc….soda??

hi
thanks for your message, I really appreciate it! Im really interested to know
more about that gel that you say you are using Clindagel… I think i get most
of my vitamins as I try to eat a very balanced diet. However I decided to go and
buy some B5 vitamins cause alot of people were talking about it on the message
boards saying it worked really well…the thing is you have to take it in huge
quanties so hopefully its not going to do any damage ( I know its a vitamin but
still its not really very good to take anything in such big quantities I dont
think.. What kind of acne did you have and where was it on your body. Do you
have any advice on helping heal scars?? Thank you so so much for your help, your
a star Tash xx

It’s an emotional and heartbreaking thing that happens, but just know
that you are not alone!

i have the same problem, i’m know using proactiv i’m seeing some improvement but
low. ialso take vitamin a.

Im new on this site and have never really talked openly about my acne
on my back! I have had this since I was 15 and its just really too long
now!! Im 25 and I still have this problem.. Like some others of you I
have also been prescribed various contraceptive pills etc and tried all
antibiotics. the only one that EVER worked for me was Dianette and I
put on so much weight and had such mood changes that I had to come off
it anyway ); !! I am the kind of person that would rather do something
a natural way and have spent ages on line looking for any clues into
why I suffer this. I think it must be a hormone inbalance, but anyway
Ive started drinking 2 litres of water every day and that is making a
slight difference. I am also seeing quite a big link with sugar and
acne and have been reading quite alot about research into this. I want
