Acne.

[Cassidy]

3 zits. One HUGE one on my nose.
One on my chin.
One on my cheek.

The one on my nose is PURPLE and HUGE.

Well its purple because its bruiesed bc my friend hit me with a whiteboard on the left side of my face!

I just put CLean&Clear on it.

What else? I dont really have anything.

Not really sure its 3 zits are acne..

 

[VMK_MagicalLadee]

I don't understand why people get so flustered..

I mean.. i wash my face with good ol' soap and water and I'm just fine.
Maybe the stray pimple every once in a while, but generally Im good.

All the products confuse me.

 

[Cassidy]

They confuse me most of the time. Unless I like...use them...

I use Acne.org soap or Purpose cleanser. Followed by Neutrogena Clear Pore benzoyl peroxide soap. Then I use Acne.org 2.5% benzoyl peroxide gel all over my face. On my problem areas I use some 10% benzoyl peroxide stuff from Walmart. Then I use my Acne.org lotion.

I do that every morning and every night. My face is clearer than it has been in years. I only have like one tiny zit I think, and that's from wearing my glasses too much.

I used to have horrible, horrible acne. But now my face is super clear and I love it!

Just wash it with hot water. There's nothing else you can do.

I occaisonally put some cream stuff on my face and wash it while I'm in the shower. I don't really have any "acne". Sure, a pimple here and there but that's normal.

You're growing up. Puberty.

 

[::Snow_White::]

I have like around 8 noticible larger ones...they are kinda sore looking and red.
Then I have this one spot on my cheek that they kinda turned into a small scar.
I wash my face morning and night. I put Murad on every other night.
It Doesn't work well.
I can't find anything that works...

It's annoying because there is only around 3 other kids I know that have acne like I do...
Everybody elses faces are clear except for maybe a few every once in awhile.
Then they will just dissapear. Mine keep coming back.

Forgot to say. Once a week I do a Neutrogena chemical peel. It helps to slowly rid me of my old acne scarring XD.

Nothing else ever worked for me before I started using this regimen. Not proactiv, not anything the dermatologist gave me. I HIGHLY recommend it!

three zits isn't acne. those are just occasional zits. haha.

my face is usually clear but i get a couple of zits from time to time.

 

[goofyandplutoluver]

I hardly ever get big zits. Which I am very thankful for. If I do get a zit, however, I just put Proactiv on it and some foundation. That way it goes away faster and you can't see it with the foundation.

ETA:
Here's Proactiv's website if you want to check it out: http://www.proactiv.com/

I have a BC pill that's basically made to get rid of acne. I use that with a cream called Clindoxyl Gel and it keeps me pretty acne free. I still have a lot of blackheads, but I'm pretty good.

 

[Princess_Dot]

Proactive didn't work for my sister or me. I don't really have bad acne though...just when i get stressed. But I still broke out when I saw stressed while using Proactive.

But anyways I use this http://www.clearasil.us/kits/kits_acne.shtml
It keeps me 100% breakout free.

Im thinking of trying that new Wave product, I dont know i think it looks cool.

Sorry, I read that as mustard

But anyways...

I usually use Clearasil. It works good. Sometimes I use Clean&Clear. I tried Proactive at my friend's house and it didn't seem to work very well.

I vary from product to product. I'm using Liquid Neutrogena ( http://www.amazon.com/Neutrogena-Fragrance-Cleansing-Formula-8-Ounce/dp/B000FKGIG0 ) and this face peel stuff ( http://www.medshopexpress.com/601269.html )

 

[JessBell**]

Proactive?

 

[Axel]

I just use Clearasil. Works really well for me.

Try toothpaste

It hurts pretty bad, but only for a few minutes and then the zit just drys up and you can basically pick it off. To make the pain from the toothpaste hurt less, try putting hot water on a towel and breathing into it.

 

[minnie_2006]

honestly, one of the best things to do is drink loadsa water (obviously don't go overboard, but the standard 8-glasses a day). it really works! i get terrible spots but recently i've started drinking lotsa water and i've definitely noticed a difference!
apart from that all you can do is make sure you wash your face thoroughly in the morning, that's all you can do! and anyway, without sounding really cringey, it's normal to get spots as teenagers!

I have a pretty big zit on the outer edge of my upper lip. It sucks. It's going away though. Yesterday was bad, it hurt and was big. Today, it's smaller and just chillin' there.

That's it. I have a few smaller ones too, but nothing bad.

I have a prescription for Benzaclin which works great. And I use some Neutrogena face wash in the shower. That usually does the trick. Except when I'm stressing over something or it's that time of the month.

 

[crazytp93]

Well i just wash my face. Yeah occasionaly I get a pimple but I don't have acne b/c i like have OCD so I'm really clean.

Actually. It's not being dirty that causes acne. It's better to wash your face than to not wash it, but in reality, dirt doesn't cause acne. And sometimes scrubbing your face can make acne worse.

I'm sorry, it just bothers me when people say this, because last year when my acne was really bad my friend told me that it was because I was too dirty. When I showered every single day and washed my face twice a day. She was dirtier than me, she just hadn't hit puberty yet. And now she has a face full of zits, so HA. Sorry. I'm still bitter about that >=(
