I’m 23 and I’ve had mild acne since highschool. Here’s what I do now:
-wash my face w/ a mary kay bar soap a.m. & p.m.
-use 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, then an oil-free lotion
-I eat healthy for the most part
-change my pillow case every 2 days
-I hardly wear make up.. and when I do I use Bare Escentuals Mineral MakeUp
I’ve tried Proactiv twice and it worked at first.. but it wasn’t for me. I don’t want to try anything harsh.. like drugs from a dermatologist.. Has anyone tried anything that is natural & safe that has worked?! I’ve been researching Acnezine and other detoxing products. Anyone tried those?! I’m in desperate need. Anyone who suffers from acne knows how hard it is. Please help!
If there’s a dermatologist out there that could tell me how the detoxing natural remedies work that would be Awesome!

i actually know of a product that works, its pricey though. it’s called Zeno, it’s a little hand held device that clears up acne, it’s been proven to get rid of your pimples in 24hrs. it costs a $150 dollars comes with 60 treatments then the refills are only 25 dollars. i say you really have nothing to lose because if you dont like it there is a money back guarantee go to this website to find out more information. http://www.myzeno.com

st ives apricot scrub works good for me and noxzema and i use facial cleanser on daily basis which ever one i use i just make sure a rince with hot water. . . . if you dont use anything hot water should clean your skin good too . . . after i’m done washing my face i put olay moistruizer on
give yourself a mask sometimes and don’t touch your face all the time because your fingers can pick up germs easily
maybe try using a facial sponge hope that helps
ok i know what your thinking this sounds stupid but it work is on the web ok it works grab a face cloth wet it with warm water and wash your face and dry your face now to the stupid part grab your tooth paste and put tooth paste on where your acne is and leave it after 2-3 min your face where you put the tooth paste well burn a little nothin major leave it there for 5 min then wash you face again and do this 1 -2 times a day for 3-7 days and it should start to clear up . theres something in toothpaste that get rid of acne some kind of acid but it works trust me
sorry you can’t get rid of it, but treat it. what you should do i recommend is find a light facial washer that won’t over dry your face and a light mosturizer. avoid over washing your face, 2 times a day is plenty. (don’t give up on the product so quickly if it doesn’t seem to work give it about 2 weeks to see any results”, most likely it’s your hormones kicking in that cause your acne outbreaks. i suggest you just relax, drink plenty of water to flush your impuriteis away, excercise to cicrcluate the blood movement around your body and face, change your bed covers. *a super secret recipe for natural clear face” – squeeze half of a lemon into your cup of water everyday twice. and drink it. this method cleans your liver and your body. your liver controls your hormones and your skin* oh yea get plently of sleep yO!
i know this sounds weird but eat honey and plain yogurt and drink 1 cup of warm water. my dad used that when he was in HS and he said it really worked ( have in before bed i think). also try using cvs brand acne facial wash it is 10% benzoyl peroxide so you need lotion after but it works so so well i had clearer skin the next day
Have you tried the clarifying mask from Mary Kay ask you consultant for a sample.
Oh you poor dear,
Try this easy, effective method uses one kitchen-cupboard herbal ingredient, and calls upon the power of a warm compress to open pores and allow the healing benefits of the herb to work on blemished skin. The compress method is more comforting and quicker to use than a facial steam, but is every bit as effective.

It works and is all natural.
Good Luck
Peace

Lime juice, tomato slices, home made packs can be used for treating acne. You can find more cheap, effective and natural home remedies for pimples at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/acne.html
I’m using Clean & Clear benzoyl peroxide cleanser twice a day, and lavender essential oil to spot treat. It’s working good for me. (The lavender oil is a disinfectant and helps it heal faster, as well as not leaving a scar.)
