Acne Tips

Welcome to the group! There sure are a lot of opinions here and
lots of options that have helped. One thing to be very careful with
is the ingredients in any skin care product. I found Cetaphil there
as someone had recommended.

I’ve pasted in what the Environmental Working Group had to say about
it down below. The website is www.ewg.org and click on the personal
care safety link about halfway down the page. You can check many
brands (about 14,000 listings) for safety level, ingredients, etc.

Basically what we have is a vicious cycle. You put some artificial
or downright dangerous ingredients on your face, your face clears up
for a while but the toxins build up, clogging up the liver which in
turn will produce more pimples.

Hi Paula,

I have the same problem as you. I will go to bed with no acne, then when I
wake up there are a series of small bumps on my face. They mostly pop up on my
chin and on my cheeks. Can you tell me what you are currently using? Maybe we
both can help one another and figure out why this happens….

Pads, alcohol and any other topical medications are not going to go deep and
kill the bacteria….You can spend a fortune on all this and still not stop new
eruptions nor heal the scars left by old ones.

Hugs,
J

Yes, I don’t trust birth control; I know a couple people who took it and still
got pregnant. I’m sorry it didn’t help you. I know it has helped me and if I
stopped I would go back to breaking out……so I am stuck on it.

Hey Sandy,
I have adult acne too but it’s been under control for a while. I use Acuzine
(after getting a tip from a group member). I ordered it from
www.onlineacnesolution.com

Good Luck

Cheryl

I just turned 48 last week, I have had acne since I was 10 yrs old,
I started my period young, I have had to deal with acne most ALL MY
LIFE. Nothing has helped me, I have seen Doctors, Dermatoligest,
taken meds and lotions, had so much stuff on my face. Now what I am
dealing with is very hard cyst on my neck in front just under my
chin. I won’t have them when I go to bed and but when I wake up
there they are. ALWAYS in the same place, never really goes
away.
I Never had them on my back or chest only my face. All through
School I wanted to die I was so ashamed of my face. The makeup I
wore to COVER up the spots. They would get so big and nasty some
were just like boils. The ones I get now never come to a head, IF I
see a white spot I will take a clean needle and put it in the white
spot and push it in, pull it out and then gently push around the
spot, then what comes out looks like a string then it stops hurting

Hi. I guess first thing that came to mind is that those pads are loaded with
alcohol. I would stop those as well as the dove products. Maybe try Cetaphil?
That is sooooo gentle and non-irritating. Also, the sunscreen is good but make
sure it is oil free.

Hugs,
J

I had to laugh when I saw you are on Ortho Tri Cyclen. I was on it a few years
ago and got cystic acne and PREGNANT!!!! False advertising! LOL

Hi Welcome to the group. Well, I have been on Ortho Tri Cyclen for almost six
months and that has helped me; I don’t have any pimples now (okay, maybe a few).
For blackheads what helped me was steaming; I have a facial suana and love it.
My skin looks much brighter since I have been using it. What I do is steam for
20 minutes and then apply a face mask. I just got a new face mask yesterday so I
let you know if it helps me in a couple weeks. It is an organic face mask and so
are the other products I switched to. Hope this helps since it has helped me.
Also, change your pillow case every few days.
