If you haven't tried proactive or another type of skin treatment, then if your acne is very VERY bad maybe you should talk to a dermatologist. I went on Accutane for 6 months, and it has worked marvelously! But therer are some side effects and risks you need to take into consideration.

If i am not mistaken, there are creams containing Benzyl peroxide (or benzyl hydroxide not sure which one) that helps getting rid of pimples.\n\nTalk to your pharmacist.

First try over the counter facial cleansers, maybe by Neutrogena or Clean and Clear, or Oil of Olay. If none of these work after a couple weeks, you might want to visit a dermatologist. The doctor can prescribe you a stronger facial cleaner that is designed to get rid of acne!

Some body acne treatment with benzoyl peroxide should do the trick.  I have "acne-free" but it was a kit that came with face wash, lotion, and body wash - I haven't used to the body wash but the face stuff was awesome.  I think it's just a generic brand of the "Proactive" brand you see on infommercials.  I got it at Walmart.\n\nALSO - Most people get backne from the kind of shampoo they're using or products they put in their hair.  Try switching those products out.

A simple remedy at home for acne: Lemon juice applied regulary has proved very beneficial in reducing pimples and acne.As well as Garlic has been used successfully to cure acne. Rub with raw garlic several times a day. Garlic is known to have cured the toughest of acne problem. The external use of garlic helps to clear the skin of spots, pimples and boils. Acne can further be cured by eating three seeds of raw garlic once daily for a month. This purifies the blood stream and ensures basic cleansing of blood keeping acne away. Grated cucumber applied over the face, eyes, and neck for fifteen to twenty minutes has been found effective. It is the best tonic for the skin of the face. Its regular use prevents pimples and blackheads.

if it is not that serious, just wash your face twice a day. if it is semi-serious, than use a product called "acne-free". if it is really serious, then you should probably see a dermatologist.\n\ni used acne-free and it worked a lot.

well, i don't know about ur body but if u put a little bit of honey and cover it up with a band-aid, it will eventually clear up. i know it works for ur face but i don't know about ur body. u might also want to ask a dermotalogist. \ndon't be afraid to ask because i have tons of acne on my face and i hate it...it stinks! i asked my doctor and he sent me three different things and it's starting to work!

Go to your doctor, they're the only ones that can give you stuff that works.\n\nZineryt works REALLY well for me.\n\nIf that doesn't work, its the antibiotics, then on to roaccutane. If you're a girl, the pill, in particular dianette is good for acne, though it doesn't stop mine completely on its own.\n\nAs for over the counter stuff, its a load of crap if you have proper acne  (I'm not talking a coupla pimples every month here)

One product alone won't clear up your acne. You have to buy several little things to see progress. For overall acne treatment, I'd look into something called Proactiv.

any over the counter medication with salicytic acid in it is going to work fast- this ingredient is ASPIRIN! i don't know why it works- but i learned this lesson the hard way... tried all of the benzoyl peroxide products and all they did was make my skin peel all around the acne\n\nthe aspirin in the other products cleans out the infection causing the pimple, rather than trying to just wash it out like the benzoyl peroxide products. \n\ni am allergic to aspirin and can still use them... \n\nalso i use St Ives medicated apricot face scrub daily in the shower to keep my face acne free now-- works wonders!\n\ngood luck\nsusan

Treat it the same as you would acne on the face.\nLike the face, if you scrub too hard it can remove all good oils and change the skin pH, so the body creates more to replace what you removed.\nJust cleanse with a mild cleanser or gel, then use a toner for acne (w/salicylic acid) over the acne area.  \nAlso, use a cleansing/exfoliating mask once a week.  (a wash off mask, rather than a peel-off!)

The best thing you can do for your acne that i have tried is Proactiv. I have tried everything under the sun and that was the only non prescription solution that worked for me.\nBut be careful because some people have bad reaction to benzol peroxide.

I would recommend trying Proactiv Solution to treat any acne spots. Another thing you can do is use common sense and stay away from red meat, pork, oily, salty foods that aggrevate your skin. It has been proven that Iodine/Sodium erupts acne. Proactiv will also lighten any pigmentation you have on your skin.

Toothpaste is not suitable for all, plus there are soo many varieties available that you just don't know. I've been taking homeopathic treatment for acne. The doc says after 6 months of treatment the acne will go forever. Have been into it for 2 months already and it seems to work, coz now i am not getting any more new pimples. I also apply a face pack which works out just fine. It includes honey + few drops of lemon + grounded nutmeg. Apply it on the face for 20 mintes daily. \nAlso, keeping your head free of dandruff works. \n\nApplying lemon juice on the scars for 10 minutes daily also helps.\nDo not expect immediate returns. It will take some patience.\nAll the best.
