These are some effective home remedies for the treatment of acne and blackheads.What treatment REALLY works for pimples? I do not have acne, my pimples are skin colored.?
thank you! im going to try these! i started breaking out after my second pregnancy and nothing seems to help. i hope these work. :) Report Abuse
neutrogena oil free acne wash works really well, I used it while I was waiting for my proactive to arrive. I also get lot of skin colored pimples. I been using proactive for a week, I bought the one month trial set. and I love it!!! it made my face look 100% better, it did get a little dried out when i first used it, but I put on cetaphil lotion and it was fine. plus cetaphil wont clog your pores. I think you should give proactive a try! I was scared to get it too, because some people hated it and I thought I'd be a person it didnt work fo and then I wasted all my money. but I gave it a try and love it. good luck
Personally, i dont think that proactive works! I bought it and it didn't work. Instead it change my skin in a bad way. For the 1st week, i was very pale, the 2nd week i got really dark. I was kinda like you. I didnt really have acne. Now my skin is great. My dermetologist suggested Benzoyl Perioxide 5%. Its awesome. its gentle and my insurance paid for it! I really recommend it!
Good Luck!
If you鈥檙e looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne鈥?prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symptoms and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it鈥檚 advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.
Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

proctive maybe pricey but well worth it. you get what you pay for.
And to not have pimles. that is priceless.
proactiv is PRICEY-but nothing works better.. honestly.. its amazeing.. try it... you will not regret it!!!
Proactiv is not worth the money, it sucks. Anything over the counter with salicylic acid will work, or go to a dermatologist's office and buy glycolic acid products over the counter. If it's cystic acne, Accutane is a rx that some use (it is only for severe acne). Good luck!
try clearpores or acnezine which work pretty good. You may also consider proactiv which some people have had good success with.
try proctive!
proactiv is only 19.99 for the 30 day kit! that's not pricey
I've started using Clinique 3 step skin care when i had continues breakouts in high school and it worked. It's been 8years now and i still use it and love it. You can also exfoliate your skin daily at least one a week. St Ives works pretty good too.
i'VE never used pro-active, but after reading everyone's comments on pro-active, the reason people don't like the Pro-active is because their skin dries out. the solution to that is to use it every other day vs. every day. easy fix and hey, it lasts longer.
If that doesnt work, seriously, go see a dermatologist. they have free samples too. You can try drinking lots of water too.
I would highly sway you against ever trying Accutane, its bad stuff. If youre skin gets dried out, you have to find a good moisturizer. I found creams work better than lotions.
It sounds like you're having the same problem I was having. I tried proactive and it so did NOT work! All it did, like you said, was dry out my skin. People will tell you to use it, but if you don't have acne, then DON'T USE IT!! Clean%26amp;Clear is a good alternative, but you have to make sure that you get the rihgt stuff. Another good alternative is St. Ives. If you're going to get that, you'll need to get a cleanser and a scrub. You'll need to use the scrub twice a week. These cleanser/scrub won't get rid of your pimples right away. In fact, when you start using them, you might actually start to get more pimples. You'll get them because the cleanser is doing a good job. I know that may be hard to believe, but it means that the cleanser is getting all the dirt from inside your pores and bringing it up to the surface. After it brings it to the surface, it gets rid of it. It usually takes around two weeks to be able to see results, although you'll probably see the ';new pimples'; in just a few days. Its rough untill you get through the initial two weeks, but after that, its smooth sailing.
One thing that you could do if you don't want to wait, is by a zeno. They ARE expensive, but its not like a monthly cost. Just one time and you're done. A zeno gets rid of your pimple in one day. Go to http://www.myzeno.com/ and check it out!!! Hope I helped! good luck!
i dont got pimples sorry for ya peoples with pimples haha
I have the same problem, and the same question. I am 29, past the acne stage, and have dry skin, but clogged pores. ProActiv didn't help me. I think it is hormonal because when I was pregnant 2 times, my skin cleared like a baby's butt smooth. I have also tried Benzamycin which is prescription, it didn't help either. I like Avon's Porefection line, its cheap and the best thing I have found in 15 years of this.
I think if u have aol isntasnt messenger u should im a bot especially made for neutrogena product..The screen name is Askneutrogena..U should tyr it i did/Good luck..emails me if u need 2
Use all natural soaps daily. After put any toner, and apply lotion. Make sure you apply toner and lotion to your neck as well as your face because many people make the mistake by not washing their neck. To help reduce the pimple put a drop of tea tree oil on it every night before you go to bed. If you need a face wash in particular, I use Aubrey Organics: Natural Herbal. It is vegan and has 100% natural ingredients. Also, you can drink jasmine tea. It helps a lot! You can also go to this site, http://www.herbalremediesinfo.com/Acne.html. A healthy diet is very important to your skin as well. If you have any problems on your nose, you should use biore strips. For pimples apply toothpaste to it before you go to sleep, that is if you dont have the tea tree oil. Remember to drink plenty of water.
