[QUOTE=FreeHugs;26240643]That's all good advice, thanks for the contribuiton. The last one is gonna be hard for the time being :/ Oh wells. Also, by Alcohol you mean like, oxy pads?[/QUOTE] Yeah, just cleansing pads or something that contain alcohol and are meant to kill bacteria and remove dirt.
[QUOTE=Dark-Energy;26240657]Yeah, just cleansing pads or something that contain alcohol and are meant to kill bacteria and remove dirt.[/QUOTE] Also, is the reason your not supposed to touch your face is due to the natural oil in our fingers?
Hot water to open pores then cold water to close em up.
Cut your hair, don't touch your face + wash it before you go to bed, change pillow cases regularly (or fresh towel on it every night)
Go to dermatologist, get isotretinoin prescription.
I prefer the pimples I get on the back of my lower head/kneck, with long hair they aren't too easy to see and clear up if you wash your hair properly, I don't get alot of them.
epiduo is the godlike remedy that literally cured my acne after about 6 months of use.
When I had bad acne I used oxy 10 vanishing formula with 10% benzol Peroxide, shit worked like a charm! I just left it on for an hour twice a day everyday for a few weeks then the acne was gone. Word of caution young one: it stains EVERYTHING so be careful!
I#ve got several tips for you mate! I had it really bad but it's cleared up a lot. I used a cream called Quinoderm, it's pretty bad for you so I'd invest in some good moisturiser too. Apply twice a day. Change your pillow case often, lots of bacteria can live on it. Wash your face at least twice a day, but don't scrub too hard! You dont want to damage the skin even more, smooth circles will do. And the most important thing, eat healthily. Drink lots of water and cut down the fatty foods and confectionery. It'll make a MASSIVE difference.
If your acne is extremely bad, go to a derm and get a prescription for accutane, it works pretty much 100% of the time, but only as a last resort as the side effects can fuck you up.
Agreed, I've noticed a large skin improvement after using epiduo. But remember, all skin types are different, what might work for a friend might not work for you.
Clearasil Ultra Acne treatment. It's the one in the little white tube, it helps like fuck.
Taking pills at the moment that lower my immune system or some shit that increases my acne, was horrible a week ago. As long as you don't have pimples on you pimples your all good.
[QUOTE=Pascall;26240409]Oxy products help. A lot.[/QUOTE] Yes, best product. I used Proactiv for like a year, then found my brothers unused Oxy all-in-one cream, a few months later, practically gone.
I recommend using witch hazle for two days, and then switching over to a light amount of coconut cream.
[QUOTE=RayDark;26242170]Clearasil Ultra Acne treatment. It's the one in the little white tube, it helps like fuck.[/QUOTE] Yeh that works great, drys out your skin like fuck though
I know all too well about acne and the problems that arise from it.
I'm lucky that I've never really had acne. I've had the occasional spot like everyone, but not acne. I make sure to use stuff like pro-active anyway because even when I get like a single pimple it makes me feel really self conscious (so, you know... pre-emptively take action to stop it happening in the first place)... dunno how people with acne deal with it :/
Proactive is terrible, I saw no results, and its fucking tedious to rub 3 different creams on your face every day for a certain amount of time.
I have fairly long hair ... and i had pretty bad acne problems when i was 14-15 then (NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD DO THIS ITS BAD FOR YOU) i started smoking and it just stopped probably unrelated but yeah...
:frog: We know.

You can go to the doctor and they can prescribe medication if it's severe
I hate always getting pimples right beneath my hairline, which probably happens due to my hair covering my forehead.
[QUOTE=Carne;26245609]I hate always getting pimples right beneath my hairline, which probably happens due to my hair covering my forehead.[/QUOTE] It's the grease from your hair
Put a towel on your pillow each night, make sure you sleep on a patch that you haven't slept on. The towel wipes up the oil off your face while you sleep.
I've never had acne too bad, just a few bumps on my forehead. It's been fading away slowly over the course of a few months from using just some store brand face wash.
Masturbate less
[QUOTE=Dr. Troll;26245807]It's the grease from your hair[/QUOTE] I had my hair buzzcut for several years and it never helped my acne, I actually had much worse acne back then.
Just don't pop your acne spots, as it will make it worse.
