I've personally found Clinique's 3 step acne treatment to work the best for me. My skin is not only clear, but really smooth now too. It runs for about the same price as ProActiv, but that didn't have the same results for me. ProActiv only works for certain people so it's a lot less consistent with its results. Any type of birth control clears up your skin, but my roommate is on Yaz and her skin has gotten a lot better since she's gotten on it. Any type of birth control will really limit the amount of breakouts that you get right before your period because it limits/inhibits the amount of hormones that your body produces. Also, if she's using makeup to cover it up that's not helping. And if she wants to cover it up anyways I would definitely recommend Bare Minerals by Bare Escentuals.. that stuff doesn't clog up your pores and is light on the skin, but offers really good coverage. Also i noticed whenever I go to the beach a lot and go swimming a lot in the ocean, my skin clears up a lot, and that's because the salt water gets rid of that excess oil. sorry that was so long.. i hope this helps!What acne treatments work better ? home remedys ?
Any type of pill form birth control will help with acne. Your sister also needs to get a good regimen. I recommend Cetaphil oily/normal daily cleanser, 2.5% benzoyl peroxide from www.acne.org and some sort of non-clogging lotion with sunscreen in it. Mix the benzoyl and the lotion together in the palm of her hand, about two pea sized amounts and spread evenly. Have her wash her face morning and night. gently, no scrubbing. Good luck!
Tri-orthocyclen is the best for birth control for acne. Been taking it since my early 20's. Generic form is trinessa which is just as great. Have you tried listerine? Stings but helpful. I also use St. Ives scrub for blemish before I shower everyday.





Clinique and Bath %26amp; Body products didnt work for me. Pro-activ worked by my skin got really really dry and pricey.
okay well there is no miraculous treatment that can cure it in a day. just wanted to get that out of the way. You might want to think about buying some kind of face cleaner that DRIES your face out. Which will dry out your pores. I use neutrogena 3 minute mask its blue. Then once I wash it off I either leave it dry or apply an oil free face lotion. Then, you may want to apply a mask for 10 minutes or so everyday. Doesnt have to be an expensive one just one that will dry your face and has healthy minerals. etc. such as aloe %26amp; vitamin e. Try that and it should work. First you may want to wash your face two times a day in the morning and at night for the first night. Then afterwards you could only do it once a day when you feel more confident. Good luck!
tell her to go to a dermatologist and see what they recommend. there is not one specific product that works for every single person. it all depends on her skin. if you haven't tried proactive though then you should cuz it works good for a lot of people.
ya acne.... everyone hates it. i know this sounds crazy, but mix salt in a bowl of water (make sure that it is dissolved) and then rub it on your face. you might feel a slight burn, but it shows that its working. after a couple of minutes, wash you face.
Thumbs down for me but its a fact, your first urine of the morning will guarantee no acne ever again, its true, jailhouse advice.
toothpase works! just put it on before you go to bed and then when you wake up you will be surprised to see how much is gone! i know i was!
toothpaste will dry those buggers right out. Kinda burns, so don't use anything too minty.
fruits and veggies and water can help you clear your skin ...thats what got my skin clear...
