  1. I believe that it all could be prevented if u just drank water....water is the best solution...on the real...just replace all your sodas and all your juices with water...IT WORKS!!!!!!! but with the acne if it makes your acne worst u might want to see a dermatoligist to see if you had a chemical reaction.
  2. honey, i did acnefree too i hated it! go to a dermatoligist and get a very good product it cleared me right up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
  3. Absolutely, I used proactive and it ruined the chemistry of my skin for a while. Go to a drug store get a product with 10% benzoiyl Peroxide for spot treatment and put it on your face like a mask before you go to bed and buy a 10% benzoiyl peroxide wash use it in the morning and at night. If heavy drying occurs use a "citiful" moisturizer doing this corrected the balance of oils in my face and i haven't gotten a serious zit in a while let alone a break out. A friend told me this and it worked for her to! I think clean and clear makes it.
  4. there is a great article on acne and how to deal with acne and scaring
  5. I also have been using acne free, and it worked great for a week. But now my acne seems worse. I still use it, but im changing that soon. I also never drink soda or sugary things. Water and green tea. So I guess it depends on the person. Exercise will also help.
  6. NO IT DOSENT DO WHEN I USED IT SO U SHOULD ASK A DERMATOLOGIST AND THEY CAN HELP U MABEY U WERE ALERGIC 2 SOMETHING IN THOSE PRODUCTS ALSO IF U GO SWIMMING IT HELPS BRING ACNE DOWN
  7. Plenty of good advice here.
  8. If you’re 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… 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 symposium 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’s 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: http://www.acne-treatment-medicine-1.info
  9. Acne Free did not help me at all. I HAVE THE ANSWER TO ACNE! I have a teen aged brother and me who have struggled with Acne for years...we tried many things, including Proactive and prescription medicines as well. Then, we found the solution. Please don't shrug it off because this can help you a lot. I was searching through the Internet and found www.acne.org. The site is owned by a guy named Dan. Dan, struggled with acne as well. He read medical books and tried many things on the market. Then, he found the way. BENZYL PEROXIDE! Now, I bet you have used it many times before but it hasn't done much right? Well, the reason is because everything on the market is 5% or 10% Benxyl Peroxide. These irritate your skin which causes MORE acne! (Touching it irritates it as well which causes more acne.) There is one thing on the market that has non irritating Benzyl Peroxide....2.5% Benzyl Peroxide. Netrogena on the Spot Acne Cream has 2.5. Nothing else on the market. You can get stuff on the Internet that have 2.5%! It is also on the site www.acne.org. The regimen includes: First washing your face with a cleanser (suggested ones are on the site) Then, drying and adding LARGE AMOUNTS or Benzyl Peroxide. In the beginning very little but you rank it up to 2 fingers after time. Last, you moisturize, because the Benzyl Peroxide may dry up your skin. Suggested ones are on the website as well. Go to www.acne.org and read about the clear skin regimen. THIS MAN IS NOT TRYING TO MAKE MONEY...HE IS NOT SELLING ANYTHING! He just wants to help. I have clear skin and so does Dan. There is also a forum where you can read more. The site teaches you how to pop a zit the right way and to find out other products that have work well. I hope I Helped! (My brother who is also a teen is clear as well. This regimen takes about 8 weeks to be completely clear but you will see gradually the acne go away. There is no cure for acne, so you have to do the regimen every day until acne goes away.)
  10. I've never heard that it will get worse before it gets better. I don't know if this logic makes any sense to me. Perhaps the medicines act as a catalyst to get oils coming out of the skin, but I'm not sure.
