What REALLY works??????\








oh and what will get rid of acne scars??What will get rid of acne and acne scars?
Do you eat dairy? Like, in any way, shape, or form? This includes cappuccinos, ice cream, buttered toast, and the like =] Most people don't realize it, but a study in Nature last year found that the hormones in milk/cream/butter/etc. can increase acne by up to 2x what it would be without consuming dairy. So you could give that a shot. But, if you do, be sure to take supplements as your doctor recommends to make up for these lost vitamins/minerals.





Merderma also does wonders to help fade acne scars.What will get rid of acne and acne scars?
I'm sure you've tried Proactiv but doesn't work. I've never tried it. but what worked for me was Ginger. It may sound strange but it is very effective. HOw it works is simple. First get some ginger from the grocery store. Peel it out. and cut thin slices in circle or square shape and apply it to your face where there is acne. The trick is u have to let it stick in your face overnight. So u have to apply masking tape or anything you have to make it stay. Once you have it settled in your face it starts to sting but thats letting you know its working. The juice on the ginger dries out your acne overnight. Now when morning comes remove the ginger pieces and take a shower or wash your face. Once you wipe it off u will notice they start to peel off easily. Repeat the ginger process every night before you go to sleep but peel and cut new slices of ginger every time. They can only be use one time only.





I have never tried Proactiv or any over the counter products because simply they tend to dry or worsen your acne, But when i started using ginger it was effective and it has a cool feeling. I had acne for 9 years and ginger was my answer to having clear skin. Try this method since u tried many that didn't work. Also, toothpaste does help a little. But stick with the ginger method its super effective.





The ONE true answer to acne scars is MIDERMA. I've use it after my acne problems and i still do sometimes. It lessens the visibilty of scars and if you keep using it over time the scars slowly diminishes.





I hope these can help you. Ginger does really work.
Try 1% (or 5%, if your skin isn't at all sensitive) benzoyle peroxide for inflamed (red) pimples. Spread it over your face in the evenings and then wash it off in the morning. 10 minutes after applying it at night, always follow up with an oil-free moisturizer (like Cetaphil cream). For clogged pores and blackheads, try salicylic acid.





For red/brown marks left after the pimple flattens, try DILUTED apple cider vinegar. Never apply it undiluted to the skin or you will get burned. Dilute it 3/4 with water and dab it on red marks (NOT your whole face) 2x daily. They will still take a few months to heal completely, but this will speed up the process.
I had the same problems. I am now 29 and have dealt with it all my life. I sucked it up and got on accutane. I was wary of it but it is the best thing I could have done. Completely took care of the acne and now my scars have almost all faded. It completely cures acne. totally worth the superdry skin for 5 months of medication. My derm told me it was the only CURE for acne and that acne is genetic so there is no amount of washing that will fix it.
First off, Proactive doesn鈥檛 work for all people and its expensive





Things to do to help oily face, pimples, blackhead %26amp; the such....





1.) Dont ever pick/pop them... If you must pop them wait till they have a head and use cotton balls. Popping causes the oil %26amp; bacteria to go to near by spots and cause more pimples


2.) Wash your face twice a day.


3.) Do not over wash your face.


4.) Get a natural soap that contains Tea Tree EO. I get mine at:

Tea Tree EO kills all the nasty bacterias that causes pimples. A plus this soap doesnt smell girly. Smells like peppermint and cools the skin.





5.) Also get a astringant. But use it only every other day because you do not want to send the oil producing pores into overdrive.





If you follow these things for a few weeks your skin will look great





Just remeber this dry dry skin looks old and worn. You face needs oil to look youthful
What you might think are acne scars is actually just discoloration (I have the same problem, dark red spots where I had acne once). Clinique has a product that evens out skin tone and it's in a white pump bottle (sorry, don't know what it's called). If you use it for 4 weeks it starts to clear up the spots and lighten them.
