WHAT CAN HELP MY SKIN?How can i get rid of SEVERE ACNE?
I really wished I knew because my face has been breaking out for the last couple of months and I ve been using proactiv and it seems to me like it has made it worse.How can i get rid of SEVERE ACNE?
I've been on this as well. Roaccutane can make your acne worse before it gets better, but it's the best thing for acne so it will work eventually so keep it up.





One side effect is it can make your skin and lips very dry so use a non greasy moisturiser. Report Abuse

yeah proactiv doesnt work unless you lose it religiously and apply the same amount every time, every day. i used to have really bad acne on my face but honestly taking a shower everyday helps. bare minerals is actually a good type of makeup. keep drinking water too =) good luck i hope that helped a little.
Acne is a tricky one. But maybe your washing your face too much. When you over-wash, your stripping your face of its natural oils, so then your face produces an enormous amount of oil to make up for it. Just chill out, dont obsess over it. Only wash once in the morning and once at night with a mild cleanser. The treatment part is frustrating because different products work for different people. I'm actually shocked proactiv hasnt worked for you because i know tons of people that adore it, including myself. You might just need to give products time. It wont happen over night. Also make sure you exercise and forget the fast food and soda. Just know that you are your own worst critic. Be patient and keep your head up!! =]]
Certain food causes acne and can even make acne worse. My suggestion is to cleanse your face twice a day. Products from Clean and Clear/Neutrogena/Fresh Face (they have products for acne). You need to drink a lot of water and eat more natural foods. Reduce the amounts of soda you drink, that can make acne worst. The best advice i can give you can be found at the website below.
Please check out this picture. It is a true story of a young boy with SEVERE ACNE. I can attest to the results as well!

there's this gel stuff called topical duac gel. u put a little on your zits every night and it works for really quickly. i think u have to get a dermatologist to tell u it's ok though.(i use my sisters so im cheating). it's like 100 bucks a bolttle but it's worth it and u only use a dab of it so it lasts longer. ask your dermatologist to tell u if it will work for u cuz u dont wanna spend 100 bucks then it doesnt work!! check out this site:

those pics of the people that they have on there are pretty realistic, but as i said before, ask ur doctor if this id right for u cuz it may work better on some people than others. hope this helps!!! :)
I am in the exact same place you are. I'm on my last dose of Accutane and it's really not working for me, I've tried everything. My dermatologist said that you take it for five months, have a break, and then get three more months. It won't always cure acne, which he didn't bother to tell me until after my face looked bad 4 months into the treatment. Hopefully the second round will help but it won't cure your acne, just reduce the severity of it.


Good Luck!
From what I know, Roaccutane seems to help most people. Its extremely strong, so chances are..it WILL fix the problem.


You may be hesitant now, but it will pay off in the future because one thing you dont want is scars.
I found that less is more. You can overactivate your oil glands by scrubbing too much. Soap water and cleanser pads ..and just relax....stress can make it worse.
sorry i have that to i don't know what to do!
maybe ask ur doctor for one of those shots they insert in ur face. it cleared up my bros acne.
First, acne is only something you can try to prevent, it is a condition that is always with you and the thing to do is to be responsible for your skin care. You need to give the product time, because in many cases it gets worse before t gets better. Be sure to clean your face twice daily and to wear a SPF of 15+ all the time. Try to stay out of the sun for too long. Try to stay away from stressful situations and a bad diet.
I always had pretty bad skin until I started on a birth control in pill form. I started taking Yasmin when I was 17 or 18 and I swear it keeps my skin clear! I know it works, because the week I have to go off of it to get my period, I will break out a little bit. Another plus of the birth control is that if you get cramps during your period, it takes away most of the pain you would normally feel without birth control. I'm not sure how old you are, but if your parents let you look into it give it a try! Remind them that it is to help clear your skin and help your cramps! But between us, you won't get knocked up either!
have you tried not doing anything for it. i know it sounds weird but i used to have bad acne and finaly stopped treating it and it cleared up. it was one of the ingredents to prevent acne in everything i tried that made me break out. i was alergic. that could be the problem. now i just use dove soap and haven't had a problem since.
You should get Clear.now. It is comparible to Pro-Activ but it actually works. Trust me i've been in your shoes a million times but this is the only thing that helped me. The coolest thing about it is that they have a 100% money back guarentee so you can't lose because if you try it and it doesn't work out for you you can totally just get your money back. You can't get it in any stores but you can go to http://www.adrennan.qhealthbeauty.com you can buy it there and read about it and other peoples testimonies.
Try proactive or Retin A
GO to the docotr and ask for strong acne pills,the acne will jump off your face with that stuff lol
