Go see a dermatologist.
They can give you prescription strength treatments meant for your skin type.
Acne is covered at least partially by health insurance, and in the long run you will save money instead of burning a hole in your pocket with drugstore products that only worsen your condition.
I’ve had the same problems. I’ve used all the same things you have, plus seen a dermo. & nothing ever helped me. Instead, I switched to using all-natural & handmade products, which has made some improvements in my skin. Mine is super-sensitive so I think some of the harsh chemicals in those products were making things worse.
Try Lush Cosmetics. They’ve got some wonderful face stuff. Angels on Bare Skin is a great daily cleanser, plus it’s got some ingredients in it to help exfoliate. Aquamarina’s really good when your skin’s super red & sensitive – it’s got seaweed, chamomile, & more to get rid of the redness. Coal face is great as well when you’re all broken out – it really gets the dirt out.
well , there are a lot of great products. Betting you have tried a lot. I use Olay. Using acne products everyday can dry your skin out and hinder progress too. Unless you are pron to very oil skin or your climate effects your skin. I have used the Olay (which is like 7 bucks ) for i think a year or so. I don’t have a major acne issue but this stuff tames break outs and took the freckles off my face. I hope this helps.
1 do NOT go see a dermatologist.
I have very sensitive-acne prone skin and they gave me stuff that was WAY too harsh on me. It was horrible, broke me out so bad.
What you want to do is take a break from all the acne treatments, wash your face with Clean & Clear Sensitive Foaming Cleanser, gets dirt, makeup, and unwanted oils off. Use that for about a week to give your skin a break, acne treatments dry skin out so bad & sometimes make acne even more severe.
When you’ve done that, switch over to a light acne cleanser, I use Neutrogena’s Grapefruit Acne Cleanser (NOT THE SCRUB!) when I need some relief from acne. It works in about 3 days.
If you ever feel a pimple coming on, get a spot treatment. There’s never a reason to use a moisturizer with the salicylic acid in it, because 95% of the time, the acne isn’t ALL over your face.
Clean & Clear has a great spot treatment.
Hope I helped! (:
Try YONKA Creme 15 & Juvenil.
They are all natural and mostly used by estheticians.
Really great for sensitive skin.
Check out for more info, but they do not sell
on their site. Check other sites but make sure they are reputable.
As with any change in your skin care routine, it will take 2-4 weeks
for your skin to purge out any bacteria left in your skin from use of the other products. It will not look good but it’s well worth it for the end result!
GOOD LUCK
One thing you should NOT do is,
go see a dermatologist !
All they will do is prescribe you things that
are wayy too cruel for your skin.
in the end, you’ll end up breaking out even more.
blah >.< and you're not even sure it'll help
it's such a waste of moneyy.
I've had acne since I was eleven
and that was about five years ago >.<
i first tried Clearasil — it didn’t do much.
it was wayy too sloww.
and then i ordered proactive and i used it for three months,
IT DID NOTHING, NOTHING FOR ME.
so i stopped and canceled my orders.
then i finally decided on trying out Neutrogena.
I said, what will it hurt if i try it out?
i logged onto their website “Neutrogena.com”
and clicked on “teens” — if you are a teen.
and i took their test , NOT THE SKIN ID TEST
one called “featured: know your skin”
it’s under the “facials and acne” placee,
answer it as honest as you possibly can
after that, they will give you a regime that’s right for your skin
(exfoiliating cleanser, toner, and am/pm moisterizer)
it did WONDERS on my skin, and now im nearly acne free.
write it down, and buy it at walmart, walgreens. CVS, ect.
it’s much cheaper than buying it from them…
and WAYY much better than going to a derma.
I’ve been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it’s at.
I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life.
I’m 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy.
Literally the best acne face wash I’ve ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It’s unique cause of it’s herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem.com at the time which was helpful.
You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn’t work it will still save you butt on the return policy.
Well good luck and best wishes.
