Pimples

Post what you do to get rid of your big juciy pimples. Ive been using ProActiv, seems to be working all right but it makes my face so dry and red and it BURNS the hell out of it. Post your remedies if you got any.

 

salicylic acid
noncomedogenic moisturizer
benzoyl peroxide if it's stubborn. 2.5% at first, move up to 10%

That's all you need. That's what proactive is, but they put it in a fancy box and charge out the ass for it.

 

I've done practically everything with my face and a lot of research and my face is finally starting to clear up.

If it burns that's alright keep on applying it your skin just needs to get used to it in a day or two the irritation will stop.

 

i use to have a bad case of acne, eventually i stopped picking at it, and used non-scented soap when i took showers.

1. Yes it will dry your face out when you get out of the shower, but that is good its tighting your face drying up the pimples and you will notice results quick.

My face was filled with acne probably about a year and half ago? But it cleared up within 2 or 3 months quickly.

I havnt had acne since i've been using non-scented soap and i grew up with acne from a young age.

It sucks, and really is a self confidence killer. But just use soap, that has no scent and you will see results every morning, every night not to often though because you will turn into a lizard all dryed out and shit.

 

Dont use proactive its crap, It will seem like its working for the first few weeks than It will just make your face work, If you have acne go see a derm and get some real products.

 

I wash my face daily... So I never get pimples.. Easiest solution. Takes 3 minutes.

 

me to + phisoderm

althought with my job washing my face is useless when im covered in pipe dope and invert fluid and varsol itss been good though only get them from my hard hat area when i do

 

I also shave them off.

 

thats stupid..?
cut the pimple off give it more chance to infect haha

 

Whatever you do, don't pop them - it'll leave scars.

 

If you think that will prevent acne with everyone then you're not as smart as you think you are.

 

I like popping pimples

Anyways earlier today I was complaining about my face being dried out. I think i'm just going to go get a face moisturizer.

 

I've never had any problem with acne, but my brother has. It got so bad he went to the doctors and they started giving him pills that eventually cleared up his face.

 

try going to the doctor, my cousin did that

 

i havent really had that big of a problem, i might get 1-3 here and there. i just wait till a head forms and pop it. it aventully goes away and leave no scar. about the none scented soap i also use that in the shower so that may be why i dont really have a problem.

 

Yeah, see if you can get some antibodics prescribed to you. They should clear 'em all up in a couple weeks.

 

I got an antibodic cream and it dosent work to well, resorted to ProActiv. Costed me 60 dollars for 3 bottles+ refining mask. If my skin didnt get so dry fast I swear it would work like a charm..I can hardly even use the stuff though cuz right now my face is litterly burning red.

 

Use it less and then gradually use more. Your skin will get used to it and your skin won't be burning.

 

I use Neutrogena sometimes but sometimes just regular soap is all you need.

 

There is a pretty good brand called 'Simple' in the UK, I use that.

I also had to take antibitotics, they work the best.
