Hi I am 30, hv mild occasional acne bt had suffered severe breakout too in my early teens. with time i learnt that acne requires more than treatment. basically it wants you to take a very good care of your skin and stay stress free besides using tons of creams and gels for clearing those zits. Recently i have added probiotics to my daily diet and noticed clearer skin. It helps me stay clean from inside and that helps my acne too. Yogurt is a natural source of probiotics and every one should consume it to steer clear acne. I use some natural packs such as fuller earth's pack and apple cider vinegar as well. These work fine, but do not miss your medines. Whatever u use benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, sulfur, adapalene, clindamycin or erythromycin make note of few things. As treatment works, your skin would become sensitive. So don't expose to direct sunlight. Do not use make up, facials or chemical peels.

2012-02-09 09:21:45 | Betty J. T - treating acne and scarsDo not touch active zits. They may retaliate and leave even darker spots. Let them heal first. Later on when your skin is cured, use advanced methods like laser resurfacing to get rid of marks. Also, most scar treatments usually take a couple of months to fade away those blemishes. its worth waiting and treat acne first. I have used mederma and zenmed cream for my scars, they both work fine.
P.S I successfully cured my acne and marks. I do not have any new pimple from past 6 months

2012-01-29 17:34:08 | ClarkYou need to be patient with acne. They come and go as hormones in your body keep fluctuating. I have a 3 step formula for my acne- keep your skin clean always(use mild cleansers only); use oral medicine and cream for acne when u have active zits(adapalene+clindamycin gel); eat diet rich in vitamins and low in fats. THIS HELPS.

2012-01-24 10:45:45 | Sharon Sears - Kindly advice for acne treatmentHi. I am 17 and have just got my first skin breakout. I have small red zits making a full circle on my right cheek. They are painful and itchy and I just could not help but touch my pimples all the day. Shall I try some of acne home remedies given here or try using 0.025% Retin-A cream and doxycycline myself? One of my friends showed improved skin with these medicines. Or, I can simply try both at the same time? Kindly advice.

2012-02-03 10:51:26 | LucyUse any of the treatments available OTC as these are first line of defense against acne. I would suggest you a gel based Benzoyl peroxide. It works on all types of zits. Use a gentle acne moisturizer to counter the drying effects of BP however. All the best.

2012-01-12 17:18:44 | Cathy - Acne TreatmentI have known acne for 15 yrs. My teen acne cleared up wid hormonal therapy and acne antibiotic. But after my 2 babies, zits again flared up all over my face. I would use alternative and natural treatments suggested here
I would continue using my cleanser and acne cream. I had forgotten them. 
This must help. So glad I found so many acne treatments at one place! Thanks.
