- I, too, have oily skin. (Thanks to my Italian heritage.) I started using Acne Free about 6 months ago and I like it. I also tried Proactiv. I think the Acne Free works better. If you are in your teens, then the problem may be more than the cleanser can handle. When I was in HS, I broke out a lot. I believe it had a lot to do with stress and hormones and stuff. If you have health insurance, go see a dermatologist. He//she will be able to give you a prescription if he/she feels that it is necessary. If your insurance won't cover it, then you are doing the best thing that you can for your skin. It's just the age you are at. You may want to try to drink more water, less sweet drinks, eat less fried foods. I believe that if you use another topical treatment along with the Acne Free that you will be wasting money. Just stick with it. It may take time for it to really work well. Try to relax and not worry about it, it will just make it worse. (By the way, I'm 49 years old and up until I started the Acne Free I had frequent breakouts.) Check out this site. They really know what they're talking about. Good luck!
- Hi there! Before you spent loads of money on the commercial creams and lotions, there are some home remedies that you may wish to try to get rid of your irritating pimples. For acne that flares at that time of the month, drink one to two cups of chasteberry tea a day. Some studies have shown that this herb helps regulate female hormones. However, this herb is only effective if you take it at least 2 to 3 months consistently. You can also try dabbing vinegar or lemon juice on your pimples. Apply a small portion of the vinegar initially to see if your skin is sensitive to it. Most of the cases, this would not have any sensitivity issues. All vinegars and lemons contain acids that can help flush out pores. Another easy home remedy is to apply aloe vera on your pimples once a day. One study found that 90 percent of skin sores were completely healed with aloe vera within 5 days!

- PIMPLES Pimples is a unique skin disorder.Pimples are lesions that occur when the skin’s pores are obstructed or infected.They can form for a variety of reasons.However,the mechanism involved in causing some pores to collapse and block drainage of natural oils is not really understood. Pimples may also crop up for genetic reasons. It is not clear how it can be inherited from one’s parents, but studies do indicate a high occurrence of pimples in children whose parents had it,too. The pimples associated with adolescence almost certainly occur because of hormonal changes that take place during puberty. Both males and females get an overdose of the male hormone testosterone during this period,causing excessive generation of sebaceous fluids that invariably cause pimples. GIVEN BELOW ARE A FEW SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES TO FIGHT PIMPLES. 1.The most basic form of pimple prevention is hygiene and preventive skin care. Regular washing of the affected areas with mild soap is a must.The soap need not necessarily contain any chemicals designed to prevent pimples .However, face washing should not be overdone or the skin will become dehydrated . 2.Care should be taken on makeup,moisturizers and other skin care products.If these products are oil based,it would just make the problem worse. Use water based products instead. 3.Generally we rub, press or squeeze our pimples.Don’t when we do this,we risk spreading the bacteria to other areas. 4.Lemon juice diluted in water can be applied externally because of its antiseptic quality. 5.Tea Tree oil can also be applied directly to infected pores. 6.Vitamin A tablets are also a natural and effective cure. Vitamin A promotes healthy skin. 7.Before bathing, apply a mixture of fresh tomato pulp, honey and rose-water to your face and keep for twenty minutes before washing off. 8.Juice of raw papaya is the best treatment for pimples.Apply fresh juice of raw papaya on pimples and get a good result. 9.Directly rub potato slices all over the face, helps to get rid of blemishes and pimple scar. 10.Drink plenty of water and vegetable or fruit juices. 11.Use cucumber or other fruit and vegetable packs to cure pimple scars. 12.Maintain a diet that is rich in cottage cheese, salads, fresh juices, fish and yogurt.These help to cleanse your system and ward off pimples. 13.Another overnight home remedy for pimples is to put a dab of toothpaste on it to help dry it out. Calamine lotion also will have the same drying effect. 14.Pound orange peel with water and apply to affected areas. 15.Another useful remedy for pimples is zinc. Which can be taken in a dose of 50 mg daily for a month and then reduce the dose. 16.You can clean your skin with apple cider vinegar as an overnight home pimple remedy. 17.Aspirin contains Beta hydroxy acid which is a powerful defoliant ,so you can crush 1to 2 Aspirin tablets mix with a little water and apply on pimples for 15 minutes and wash. Finally,certain medications may temporarily alter the hormonal changes prevalent during adolescence and cause pimple outbreaks. If this is the case, a simple adjustment in medication may be all that is required.
