What's your best acne control products or methods? strongest antibiotic? (No accutane..)?

I have tried EVERYTHING


pro-active, murad, tons of over the counter, you name it... i tried it.


I started wearing nuertragena makeup / base, and it helped the matter... but I still had acne pretty bad. Mostly around my jaw line.





I started using these facial products by a company called Mannatech. It does not say it is specifically for acne, but I started using it for other reasons. I quickly noticed that my acne was starting to disappear. I started getting lazy with all of the products and was using only the cleansing cream. It can be used to cleanse, and also as a mask. Well I noticed that when I used it overnight as a mask that I'd wake up in the morning and most of my acne would be about 75 percent better than the night before.


So I started using it as spot treatment. My skin has cleared up 100%, but sometimes I still get these blemishes pop up here and there. I will just dab a little bit of the cleansing cream on, and by morning the problem is gone. Sometimes there is still a small spot, but it is not like a ';zit'; anymore. It is more like one that is healing, and by the next day it is definately COMPLETELY gone.


SO to say.... I have searched for YEARS for a good product, and I finally found one...





I'll copy and paste what the company's website says about the product, and then i'll paste the URL to their site so that you can see for yourself in case you want to order some.

most benzene based products should work. i think some over the counter products hav it...read the ingredients. i think itll be labeled something like benzoil peroxide (maybe spelled benxoyl peroxide). and if it really matters that much to u, a dermatologist should ba able to perscribe a more concentrated product (and by more concentrated i think like 5% max :P.What's your best acne control products or methods? strongest antibiotic?

Acne's a funny thing, your best bet is to do this. 1. Get some acne medication I recommend ';Acne Free''; then take showers all the time, twice a day, scrub scrub scrub.. keep your hands off your face, if you have pets keep them off the sheets, wash your hands always. Sterlize your steering wheel, keyboard, everything, and dont touch your face, body etc. Stay Moist, don't let pores clog.
There's this new ance kit that I've been using that works wonders!!! It's pretty expensive, but it lasts for a long time and it works so well if you use all of the steps correctly. It's called the ESI Skin Rejuvination Kit.





Here is a link where I get it:

It's not a hoax...it really works! After only 3 days of using it I began to see results. I've heard other people say that Proactive works in the beginning too...but everyone who I know has ever used it stop using it because they said it made their face red after a little while of using it.





I've been using this ESI kit for months though, and it has never let me down! I strongly encourage this product!

use natural face wash from the health store (Derma-E is good), and make sure NOT to touch your face. Also you can use a product/Mask with SALICYLIC ACID
Oxytetracycline - two a day for Roseacea. Works for me and keeps it under control.
i use oxy pads, they make my skin tingle and really work right away. also, this may sound wierd but put toothpaste on ur acne at night (or bedtime). it really works!
i take viatiams to help control it a little, healthy diet and water helps.
PROACTIV!!! its true what people say, it actually does work but it might be too strong, depending on ur skin. at frist it made my skin all red but now its fine. i see a big difference!
stop eating greasy foods, don't use so much face lotion and wash your face with acne soap.
toothpaste ';:D
Use ';Clean and Clear'; products, they helped me alot.
Dont get the wave it sucks.
proactiv.. it really works!
stop smearing pizza on your face a bath daily
