I want to know from experience or someone else’s experience that you know.

I was told that when you are vegan, then your acne goes away and your hair and skin looks amazing.
What causes this to happen?
is it because you are no longer eating meat or dairy?

I recently caught the end of an over the counter acne treatment commercial claiming to work better than Proactiv Solution. I have used the latter for years and love it, but wouldn’t mind saving some money!!! The problem is, I can’t remember what the new brand is. . . .
Thanks for your input!

i’ve been using some acne treatment (though my skin isnt that bad) and now my skin is breaking out wayyyy more than it ever has! Is this supposed to happen?

My daughter wants to try a new acne treatment (proactive and everything from the drug store) Do not work for her.

She has super sensitive skin and its acne proan. I have heard great things about skinID and murad and was wondering what one would be best for her again her skin is super sensitivite and acne proan

Please don’t say try this or that we have tryed everything except for skinID and murad.

Also, what is the best place to buy it? I have seen it on ebay and heard ads on the radio? I’m thinking of trying it for mild/moderate acne that I have had for about 15 years. Thanks so much for your help.

I have what to some is considered adult acne. I had absolutely clear skin until I got pregnant and had my daughter, and ever since then I have had an “hormonal imbalance” as they call it. I have tried everything! Proactive, dermotologists and their many solutions – I have almost done it all. I now use Neutrogena make up, which doesn’t get rid of it, but does seem to help. I have recently heard that Physicians Formula is even better, does anyone know if this is true?? I will one day get the lazer that supposedly takes it all away, but for now I need the best in make up for acne thats noncomedogenic. Do you know how Neutrogena and Physicians Formula compare? Is it worth changing over? If you use or have used either or both of these please let me know your opinion. Thank you.

The first and the foremost point to be remembered in the treatment of acne is not to panic. Whiteheads or blackheads will have to be treated with a cool head! No doubt, acne on the face is bound to cause a confusing contour in the curtain of your mind, but desperate remedies are not the solutions for desperate situations.

A basic understanding of the acne situation in each individual case requires a thorough study. Fortunately or unfortunately, the literature and expertise regarding the treatment options available are likely to be confounded! A mountain of literature about the molehill that is acne!

Let’s take a look at how to combat your acne.

The main strategy to use is prevention where possible and better
skin care. Here are several top issues of focus for each:

exercise,
cosmetics,
diet,
hormones,
hygiene,
medications,
shaving,
stress.

Exercise – Keeping in shape can help fight acne by fighting off
negative stress levels that can come from negative self-esteem
and depression. However, some safeguards need to be in place to
ward off acne that can result from your workout routines. First
watch which products you use on your body because you’ll most
likely be sweating. With any sunscreen’s for outdoor workout
activities and any make-up or other cosmetics, check for
“noncomedogenic” and “oil-free” on the labels to help prevent
pore clogging. And when your workout is finished, wash the
products off as soon as possible, especially if you’ll be going
into a steam room or sauna where your pores will be opening up
more. You don’t want these lotions and other cosmetics getting
into your pores and clogging them up, resulting in blemishes.

Acne solutions come in different forms; they can be topical ointments, laser therapies, oral medications and even personally-mixed solutions. Some people though, are just not keen on using anything on their face that has any chemical in it. Instead, they prefer to use natural solutions mixed from herbs and other plants.

Although most acne solutions that are available right now are generally effective, using natural products is still the favored solution of some individuals who suffer from pimples. For some, anything that has been artificially or technologically manufactured is just not for them. To let you in on what herbs or plants are commonly used by such individuals, here is a partial list.
