How do i get rid of acne

[beryllium]

Hi elvinm82, i think your Q. is better in Body and Soul, i dont know if you're female, but if you are, Dianette, the pill, is supposed to be good for acne.

I also saw on a tv programme, red/blue light therapy is supposed to help...

Hi 123345, what cream are you recommending to elvinm82?

[123345]

None in perticular just any acne cream.

Dianette is great. There's also topical antibiotics (eg Zirtek) - personally I think they're rubbish, or ordinary antibiotics for your skin (e.g erithromycin), which are OK.

The best thing I've tried is Dr Hauschka products. They're quite expensive but last for ages, and really do clear your skin up (whether you're male or female!) in a matter of weeks.

Steer clear of acne washes etc - they'll just irritate your skin, and dry it out. It took me years to stop using that crap, and once I did, the spots disappeared.

Quinoderm cream is quite good, you can get it over the counter at the pharmacy. As berylium says, Dianette is fantastic, really sorted my skin out. Avoid clearasil, oxy etc they are overpriced and very harsh on your skin. I find gentle exfoliation helps so I use Witch exfoliating wash it is really fresh and does not strip the skin. I dont really advise using sunbeds at all, but they may be useful occasionally ie for a special occasions. I found even 1 session helped my spots clear up.

im finding oxy spot cream to be really good at the moment,and clearasil black head remover facial wash.

Hi mate, I used to suffer from spots quite bad a couple of years ago. Try dove, first thing on a morning and just before you go to bed. It worked wonders for me. Dove is different to all of these face clenses as it doesnt have any purities in it. Good luck
