Alright, I've tried many products out there... From proactive, to accutane (which Accutane did help, but wasnt without multiple side effects), to diet, to this and that..
The most effective ways I've found over the years? Suprisingly natural treatments... which I never really believed in, and still don't fully, but when it comes to skin-care I guess I do now.
1. Urine applied to skin. Did you know that Urine is mostly water and Urea? And Urea is used in MANY anti-acne products, even prescription acne treatment products? YEAH, I know it sounRAB digusting. But it is not. Urine is completely Sterile and is NOT, I repeat, NOT toxic. Unless you don't have a liver or a kidney, then perhaps. Your body simply gets rid of things that are in excess - for example if you have excess vitimain C guess where that goes out? In your urine. Urine contains minerals, vitimains, and enzymes that the body didn't currently need at the time. It's also antibacterial. Don't believe me? Look it up. It's used in different countries and many people swear by it, but Western medicine likes to frown on things that are "prescription" or made out of chemicals. I've personally tried it, and am simply AMAZED... I apply a little to the face using a cotton ball/tissue or something of that sort, and apply to places with acne. Then wash off after about 30 mins. Some people leave it on overnight. You WILL NOTICE A DIFFERENCE within a matter of days. If you aren't open-minded enough to try it, and think it's just "gross", then I'm sorry, but you are just being ignorant. Chances are if you're reading this, then what-ever you are trying isn't working, so if you want to keep trying to find something that works then go ahead, just do your research before you instantly say "it's gross" and won't work. I even knew a dermatologist (not a natural doctor, a REGULAR dermo) who told me it's the best treatment for acne, but of course doesn't like to be promoted because how could they sell it when everyone has their own for free?
I'm 90% sure if you where to try it, even if for only 3 days, you'll notice an improvement. If not you can call me an idiot, I don't care. I've even noticed improvement by the next morning after doing this.
2. Lemon juice. Lemon juice, if you buy the small little bottles that are not from concentrate, but rather just pure lemon juice, those work the best. Put a small amount on a cotton/tissue or something, then apply to any Acne. I've seen results sometimes hours after doing this. I've had whiteheaRAB where the white puss has literally fallen out the next day, sometimes even the same day, after applying lemon juice to it. It's a proven fact lemon juice is antibacterial and pretty potent stuff. Again, look it up if you don't believe me.
3. Honey. This can work great for some, maybe not for others. Personally it's worked for me. Honey is also PROVEN to be antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. All natural honey, without any added processed crap in there like you find at the regular stores, is the best. The only reason why it could be negative in some people is due to honey being thick, it COULD perhaps clog pores a little depending on your skin. I've never had that problem, and it's great in reducing inflammation and getting rid of bacteria.
4. Using a facial soap that doesn't contain lots of Irrirants in it. Many standard soaps contain many chemicals in there that can irrirate the skin - especially if you tend to "over-wash" your face. This just drys it out and doesn't help the skin. Try using a cleanser that has the least amount of harsh ingridents in there.
5. The last thing is sunscreen. If you're prone to acne, don't use Sunscreen, but rather use SUNBLOCK. Yes, there is a difference. Sunscreen is the most common, and contains multiple chemical in there that absorb UV rays in order to protect your skin from UV damage. But are those chemicals good for your skin? Not really. In fact they can be irrirating to sensitive skin, and are a no-no in people with Rocesa. Using a SUNBLOCK, which contains either Zinc Oxide or Titanium dixoide ONLY (or maybe one other ingrident) is the best idea. I've switched to a Zinc only based sunblock, and it's helped with acne, reduced inflammation, and provided MUCH stronger protection than any sunscreen on the market can do. That's because sunblock is superior to sunscreen - Zinc Oxide relflects or scatters UV rays and actually forms a layer of protection on the skin, rather then absorbing them like the most common chemical sunscreens do. Again, look up Zinc Oxide if you want proof for yourself. Even professional dermatologist will tell their patients who have sensitive skin/and or Rocesa to use a sunblock that contains Zinc oxide in it, because it does not cause irriration like chemical sunscreens do, and even can help to treat acne/reduce inflammation. Since I switched it certainly has helped my skin a lot.
If you are for some reason un-willing to try a treatment simply because it's "natural" and not-over the counter, then well what can I say. All I can do is recommend really is Accutane if the acne is moderate or worse. It's the only over-the counter or prescription that has ever worked for me. Everything else out there - proactive, etc, they all contain harsh chemicals that simply irrirated and dried my skin out further. While accutane works internally, which can stop acne at it's true roots. I'd still rather recommend these much easier, cheaper, and "healthier" treatments before trying Accutane though, as there are many possible side effects with Accutane. And It's also avaiable only through prescription, and last I heard the restrictions have gotten much higher on it since I was on it.
