What is the best acne product to use?

I've recently heard something as simple as taking more Vitamin B5 works wonders. Haven't been able to put that to the test though.

I've used Clean and Clear, the pads. All you use is rub the pad on your face just avoid the eyes and mouth of course. And it clears up the acene pretty good. If you don't like the idea of the pads, try the cream it works just as good.

I recently heard asprin is 100 percent acetylsalicylic acid . This is often put in face cleaners etc. It was suggested that you disolve one or two and wash your face. Perhaps leave a little on the worst areas. Erocse had looked this up for me to share with my daughter. We have not put it to the test to see if it is effective though. I get strange skin blemishes that take forever to go away. I know how irritating it can be. We have tried other things for our daughter but none over the counter have consistantly worked. Clean and Clear as suggested by Raven is decent.

I have not tried any of these products personally but recently looked up this information and saved it to my favorites :

If you find something that you are happy with we are looking forward to hearing about it.

Different things work for different people. Try different things until you find something that works.

But I'll tell you what's NOT a good cure to acne... OXY 10.

OH SERVER MY FACE, MY FACE!!

I've been fighting off the acne all my life. I almost had it gone, I was happy with my progress. That was, until I ran into this hot guy at work. He also has a habit of standing a little closer than I'm used to. At that time I desperately wished like hell that my acne was properly gone, and I got impatient for a solution. I resolved that I would find a solution, and knock this problem on the head once and for all!

Later that night, I was walking through the chemist and I saw it. It looked like the solution to the last of my stubborn acne. I thought - If OXY 5 is good, then OXY 10 has got to be TWICE as good, right?

Mistake.

Several days of use, and I thought I was breaking out. I'd heard rumors that it'd make acne worse before it got better. Then I read on the internet, that the stuff really worked well and "some flaking, itching and redness is normal until your skin gets used to it", and "You should use it all over to prevent breakouts, not just on the spots". So I did.

Big mistake.

So, I kept using it for a week. All over my face. It looked to be getting worse, so I stepped it up to twice a day to try and clear this "impending breakout".

Bigger mistake.

A week later and what I thought was the beginnings of a major breakout was contact dermatitis. Puffy, red, and threatening to start peeling. Even my ears and down my neck - places I never used it.

To add insult to injury, it had bleached my facial hair and I had to shave it off.

So I ended up red, puffy, itchy, almost peely, and facial hair-less. And I still had the acne underneath it all.

The moral to my story - 10% peroxide is strong stuff. Avoid. If not, use it sparingly, not every day, DEFINITELY NOT twice a day. Don't get impatient waiting for clearups and use more stuff than your skin can handle. If you see red or feel itchy, stop using something.

It took 2 weeks of gentle cleansers, and smearing my face in sorbalene twice a day to fix that mistake (it's cheap, kinda heavy, but a VERY effective moisturizer). Oh, and some over the counter steroid cream. It's been 3 weeks since the mistake, and my neck is still slightly red.

But hey, at least I didn't run into the person that caused me to lose my patience during that screwup - so no harm, no foul

My mom just told me about this for acene: Mocsseema (we have no idea how to spell it, but that's how it sounds like it might be spelled), she said that it deep cleans, it draws it out (blackheads, acene, ect). Softens your skin, make you look younger, when you put it on it feels cool and when you rinse it off your face it feel really clean and good. Your supose to use it all over your face. And it's also good for sunburn. But as always avoid the mouth and eye area and your suppose to rinse it off with warm water.

I use the AcneFree system and it works pretty good.

If you need to get rid of a pimple quick, put a dab of toothpaste on the pimple, wait 15 minutes then wipe off.  You can do that daily, too.  It helps get rid of pimples pretty quickly, though I'd recommend doing it at night so you can take a shower in the morning and not smell like mint. xD
