PROACTIVE gave no result on my ACNE.Now, i hate medications!Pls help me to get rid of them in a natural way..?



Answers:
fix your diet.cut out all junk food and eat lotsa fruit.. and apparently lemon is good when you rub it on your face, the citric acids clean away any dirt.

Acne medications are the snake oil of our time. There are websites that rank Acne medications. Some of them do a very good job. Basically prescription medication works a lot better than over-the-counter medication, but check out the acne ranking websites for more information. I don't think Proactive was very highly ranked.

There are also posts all over the Internet that describe how various medications work for various individuals. Before you spend your hard earned money again, check out each product.
some people have horrible reactions to proactive and benzoil peroxide does not help anything. i had lost hope until i went to a dermatologist. they really can help. there really is no natural way, but watching your like chocolate intake might help..
One of the things I do is wash my face with regular soap in a circular motion every other day and once a month wipe my face with alcohol on cotton. When you clean your face with the alcohol you will see all the dirt that is actually on your face. It is shocking!! by cleaning your face exactly like this it removes the dirt and extra oils, but also allows the moisture you need to stay on your skin.
I have to stick up for proactive a little because it really changed my life. I treied EVERYTHING for years, including acutance and hardcore medication and they didnt work, but proactiv gave me skin I never thought I could have. It totally is worth a try and it can take a couple months to work. but for some poeple it doesnt work and I am so sorry to hear it didnt work for you. A big one for me I notice, is DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE at any time of day. I was working this boring reception job for a while and rested my face on my hands and started getting bad acen near my chin. Drinking lots of water. Witch hazel beings down swelling and redness in emergencies. Dont use remedies that dry your skin out cause then your skin over compensates by making more oil. A big thing for me was to, after washing my face, finish with a rinse of cold water to close the pores in your skin so new gunk doesnt get in so easily. Also, when drying you skin after washing, pat it gently instead of wipe. I know one of the main ingredients in proactive is peroxide As for topical treatments.I found you just sort of have to try a bunch of things until something works. Did you give proactive three months to work? .It just worked a miracle in my life and they have a great (but pricey) skin care line that goes way beyond the three step. Good luck
Go th the doctor, you need stronger madications to deal with this problem, if something like pro-active didn't work

Drink lots of water and eat lots of fruit. Try this for a week.. Don't eat anything fried, greasy, or spicy. Eat fruit and lightly salt your food. Have a lot of greens. Maybe become a vegetarian for a week. Wash your face at least twice a day or more. In the morning when you wake up and before you go to bed. After you wash your face use a very mild face lotion or cream Nivea is a good brand. Because acne can also form from dry skin so hydrate it after you wash. I hope this helps. Good Luck!
Is there a Chinese herbal store near where you live? If there is, I strongely recommend "Honeysuckle Flower", also called "jinyinhua" and "Flos Lonicerae". You put a handful in a cup of hot water. Let it soak for 10-15 minutes and drink it. Once or twice a day. My son used to have acne on his face, now it's all clear. The drink tastes kind of bitter but I think it's worth it. Check out the following links. He also used Proactive and other kinds of cream before, didn't help much.

most people have great reults from proactiv, i didn't. i actually got better results from neutragena acne cleanser. it's golden colored in a pump bottle. try the recommendations of others here and if that doesn't work try a dermatologist
Treatment without knowing the root of the problem is useless.
First things first!
Knowledge is power. You must educate yourself about Acne

There is a place I can recommend you to go
