Acne

[disneychick2721]

I dont have extremlymega bad acne but i do have it pretty bad in spots its annoying and uncomfortable. I go to this dermatologist place where there doing reaserch on acne for teenagers, last week was my first week and it worked well, but this week i found more acne on my face.Im getting paid for it so hopefully it will start working again. =[=]

I tried that too, and it didn't work at all for me! It made my face really oily from the lotion.

My doctor prescribed BenzaClin for me, and that works amazing. I still get small bumps every now and then, but overall, it's a miracle worker for me. Talk to your doctor or dermatologist and they'll be able to help you. Especially if it hurts to even lay down.

ProActiv used to work, but now it does nothing for my face. Good or bad.

i used to have acne but after i used biore products and proactiv my acne got better
but all i get now is an occasional pimple and i get them on my forehead but luckily i have bangs to cover it up=]

I get pimples on my forehead and chin, some blackheads on my nose, and some pink blemishes on the upper part of my cheeks where freckles are on most people. Thankfully my cheeks are mostly clear, and the blemishes on the top part can pass for really light freckles sometimes.

But my face is really stubborn. I have tried Clean & Clear, Biore, Vichy, Neutrogena, Olay, Lush, Body Shop, and everything else you can buy off the shelves. I've even tried prescription Benza-something-or-other pills which gave me a bad rash on my arms because I was out in the sun, and prescription clindoxyl gel which worked for the first two days and then made my skin oily after that.

Right now I'm using St. Ive's Blackhead and Blemish Removing Apricot Scrub. It doesn't clear up my skin completely, but it seems to maintain what I already have and prevents me from breaking out as badly. At first I thought that it wasn't working anymore, but then when I stopped using it my acne got worse, so I guess it does help.

I really should go to the dermatologist.

Whee!! Don't you just love BenzaClin!? haha I use it too!

BenzaClin= LIFE!


Omg, if my face is bad now, I'm soooo afraid of what it would look like without without it.




Haha, but my acne is.... dissapearing....slowly


Ok.
Here's my daily acne wash.

When I wake up:
I wash my face with Cetaphil. Then I have to put on a cream called Retin-A Micro

Sometime in the afternoon:
I have to take these acne pills. This helps with the acne on my back. It also helps my face. The brand of the pills are....... *runs to cabinet* Doryx. It was perscribed by my dermatologist.

Before Bed:
I wash my face with Cetaphil. Then I use BenzaClin.


Acne is a pain in the butt.
Thank god for face powder!

where do you get BenzaClin?

 

[disney100666]

I usally get one BIG pimple! It's so dang annoying. I don't get alot, just one big one. But I get a bottle of this miracle cream called OXY, it works wonder if you put in on at night before bed and after your shower in the morning, if you do that schedule you will see results in days!

[STOPxmickeytime]

you have to get benzaclin from a dermatologist.
and it doesn't work for everyone- it had little to no effect on me.

~katie

Mine was perscribed by a dermatologist.
I don't think you can get it off of the counter.
But, I could be wrong

ok thanks 'cause i have kind of bad acne and it is the worst on my cheeks. i have tried proactiv and it did nothing whatso ever. i am using this stuff from wal-mart and it is working ok but my docter said if i cant find anything to use come to him so i might ask about that

I was at the allergist today and he perscribed something or other. Idk the name because the pharmacy was out of it so I don't have it yet.

the allergist? did you mean dermatologist?
my derm scares me, but my allergist rocks.
and amberlina, proactiv didn't work for me, but i would talk to your derm (or regular doctor if you don't have one) before spending money on something that might not work.

I would buy the generic walmart version instead, it's cheaper and works the same.
