Ok I just want to know how many of yall deal with any type of acne whether its a pimple here or there or just all out acne all around. If u have it how do u deal or do u just let it be ??
I have moderate acne, but my blackheads were getting out of control to the point where over the counter products didn't help. I went to the dermatologist and he prescribed Differin Gel. It doesn't irritate my sensitive skin, yet it does a good job. I also use this Queen Helene's Mint Julieup (<--I think that's right :? ) Blackhead Mask. It dries up pimples overnight, but when i run out, toothpaste is the next best thing!
I'm telling you, get with that proactiv. I, like you, have (or had) oily skin, tried every damn thing. Then used proactiv. Your skin is gonna look worse at first b/c each pimple has about a 3 week cycle, and proactiv **** them out of deep in your skin. So if u see ur skin looking worse, stick with it, in 4-5 weeks TOPS, i heard of some people seeing results in a few days tho, but in 4-5 tops, you're skin will be clear and you might not have another pimple for the rest of ur life.
Well I know my Acne isn't that bad. In the morning, I use Apricot Scrub by Swiss Formula and it leaves your skin feeling so soft and clean. AT night, I use Clean and Clear Blackhead Clearing Scrub and I was surprised because it actually works. The only issue I have with my skin is like the dark spots from scarring because I used to be obsessed with pciking at my face. (How gross does that sound?) But I use Palmer's Fade Cream for that and it is working slowly but surely. Someone told me that Ambi works as well. I think you just have to do trial and error until you figure out which works the best for you.
that apricot scrub is my best friend. use that joint 2x a week. and at night i use the blackhead clearing scrub also but neutrogena instead of clean and clear. and the multi-vitamin lotion does WONDERS for the acne marks. dont sleep on the neutrogena :arrow:
i use neutrogena face wash and it mostly works. but i also do obsessive stuff like clean with alcohol every once and while (every other day lol nah). but that's usually when i feel like a pimple is coming on. i know it may be too abrasive for skin and it dries your skin out but i make it work. i went to the dermatologist and she cleaned my face like that, so i started doing it. lol i wouldn't recommend it though
