<p>I hate pimples! They are so annoying and its really hard to keep them from coming back.</p>
<p>Acne cream?</p>
<p>I wash my face every day, and apply rubbing alcohol everyday. Never had a pimple. It works, I thinks that’s the secret to proactive.</p>
<p>I pull a Chuck Norris and dare the acne to emerge.</p>
<p>Actually, I wash my face in the shower [the steam opens up the pores] and afterwards apply [this</a> stuff](<a href=“http://www.clinique.com/product/CATEGORY15068/PROD11811/Skin_Care/Acne/Clear_Skin_System/index.tmpl]this”>http://www.clinique.com/product/CATEGORY15068/PROD11811/Skin_Care/Acne/Clear_Skin_System/index.tmpl). I don’t really moisturize, since my face tends to get oily. Occasionally, I use pore strips or a mask.</p>
<p>^^You really shouldn’t put rubbing alcohol on your face, it strips essential oils and robs you of a natural healthy glow. It will dry you out and cause more oil (if you have oily skin.)</p>
<p>It’s much easier to prevent acne than to get rid of it. Eat a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables and drink a lot lot lot of water and green tea. In the morning drink warm water with lemon juice. Your overall inside health shows in your skin.</p>
<p>I have flawless skin (yeah I’m bragging!) because I take care of myself.</p>
<p>^it may probably just work for me. I always use a moisturizer after. Cocoa butter works miracles.</p>
<p>I would not recommend buying over the counter acne medicine, however, prescribed medicine from a doctor actually does prevent acne.</p>
<p>Washing your face regularly with water is a good method of prevention in general.
Helps stop oil buildup and other things that cause many types of acne.</p>
<p>Your bog standard Oxy pads if applied regularly work very well.</p>
<p>I use Oxy Maximum face wash and spot treatment…make sure to buy a good moisturizer as well (I like Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel).</p>
<p>Acne cream and birth control. Mine’s not too bad though.</p>
<p>I didn’t develop acne until about the 10th grade. Finally went to the doctor, and it’s mild.</p>
<p>But she has me applying epiduo before I go to bed, taking antibiotics once a day, and using my otc acne cleanser.</p>
<p>It’s getting better, but still not clear like I used to be.</p>
<p>I think it’s more about genetics. My mom had perfect skin and my dad had terrible skin so I have a mixture.</p>
<p>my brother went to a dermatologist and his got much better</p>
<p>I take accutane and its kind of like jesus for your skin (except your lips get super chapped so I’m constantly applying lip balm)</p>
<p>Eat better (less oil/fat in your diet) and, make sure to use a cream but, mainly eat better.</p>
<p>I’ve only had maybe 1 or 2 pimples in the last year because i started eating alot better.</p>
<p>I really like St. Ives Blemish & Blackhead Control Apricot Scrub because it has A FREAKING LOT of exfoliant [and salicylic acid].</p>
<p>^ I also used to used that. It’s probably the best drugstore scrub there is. I used to use it in the mornings and later on at school I’d smell the apricot on my face… mmm</p>
<p>I don’t get them. :)</p>
<p>^^YES i love the smell!</p>
<p>I also used Neutrogena’s “relaxing nightly scrub” in the purple bottle, but there weren’t enough beads in it. That’s the case with most facial scrubs.</p>
<p>I used to worry that the St. Ives apricot one would clog our drain because it’s so thick lol.</p>
