? acne ??

Answers:
I hate to say this but it might be hereditary. It may also go away after a few years. I went through the same thing when I was younger. It just eventually got less severe.

Also, cleaning your face too much might cause the skin to become irritated. Because of that it may make the skin produce more oil and therefore cause more zits.

If you haven't tried it yet, I know proactiv works really well. My whole family uses it and since I have sensitive skin, I use their sensitive formula (you have to request that). They also have a kit for more heavy duty acne.

Acne is just a part of growing up.Try to stay away from greasy foods,tomatoes,and chocolate.Drink lots of water,it will purify the skin.And also get you some Xango mangosteen juice and drink it 3 times a day.Peace!!
wash ur face often, am guessing its in ur face? i have suffer for the same thing for years so i just leave it alone. it wins. there is many things to try, like some mary kay stuff, pro active, clearasil, i forgot another one.but try keeping the place where its at clean.

Acne is one of the serious misfortunes of adolescents. It has been reported that over 90 percent of its victims are teens, although some adults and infants are affected as well. Of various cases of acne, most of the acne patients generally respond to certain treatments for acne although the medication may need to be continued for months and even years.

As acne continues to bother the lives of every individual, a myriad of products are now sold in the market as treatments for acne. Several of the treatments for acne are clinically tested and proven effective, while a number are without any scientific proven effects at all. Among the different forms and types of the available treatments for acne these days, certain combinations are found out to be potent for preventing the onset of this skin condition but in the most serious cases.

There are actually major forms of treatments for acne and each was tested and proven effective for knocking down acne. For particular emphasis, one of the most suggested treatments for acne is to directly kill the bacteria that are caused by the blocked follicles by means of certain antibiotics. Tetracyclines are one of the best antibiotics available today, but there is also the benzoyl peroxide, which is actually a bacterial substance usually applied on the affected areas of the skin. Nevertheless, there are particular findings that hold that lessening the bacteria by these forms of treatments for acne will not do anything to reduce the oil secretion, which is then the most possible cause of the blocked follicles. Since these treatments for acne are not that potent as their images suggest, there is a great possibility then that acne will reoccur quite soon after the end of such mentioned treatments for acne.
you are doing everything right.
Only one thing- apply the cream all over your face. Not only on the zits but everywhere else. Good luck.

Most of the acne products on the market are sold as a 10% solution because that is the legal limit in strength for over the counter acne treatments. The weaker solution of acne product kill the bacteria in your acne just as fast. However the higher strength solution will dry out your skin.

This gives you an irritation which makes your acne worse. I found when I was experimenting as to the best way to control my acne that my skin was improved when you always use a moisturizer with this treatment.

Sometimes the skin feels it does not need it, but it seems to better to use one. Acne treatment need not take ten years, and with modern technology best acne treatment can take a lot less time.
