How do I get rid of bad acne?!?

Ok, I%26#039;m 13, 14 in a few months, and I%26#039;ve had really bad acne for about 2 years now and I REALLLY want to get rid of it without using a million products, doing some treatment that takes like an hour, or spending a ton of money! Does anyone know of anything I can do that is simple, affordable, and really works?! Any face wash that does miracles?! Pleasssse help me! I%26#039;m sick of all these bumps on my face! I%26#039;ve actually resulted in asking my mom to take me to a dermatologist for my birthday, (not exactly what I had in mind, but if nothing else works...) which I find kind of pathetic. Any help here is greatly appriciated!|||1. Put toothpaste on your pimple before you go to bed, should help reduce swelling overnight. Make sure it is the paste not the gel.

These are some effective home remedies for the treatment of acne and blackheads.|||if you use the neutrogena acne stress controle, make sure to use an exspoleator as well. i found that the neutrogena rapid clear works well. after your done you should use an astringesnt for servere acne, it will prevent more breakouts and gets dirt that was left behind. ( i would recomend using a few diffrent kinds, 1st using an exspoleator,2nd an acne controle soap, 3rd an astringent...)|||I would definitely recommend Proactive. It can be a bit pricey, but you can either buy online or at your local mall. I%26#039;ve used it when I was younger on my face and it worked well and fast. As I%26#039;ve gotten older I%26#039;ve had to use on my body and it works wonders.|||my doctor subscribed something for me. The face wash that worked good for me is Oil-Free Acne Stress Control by Neutrogena. its a foam wash it worked good. Another thing i used before is NOXEMA. at least im pretty sure thats what it was called. Hope that helps.=]|||Thats good that you are going to the doctor, just don%26#039;t pop the pimples.|||wait till you reach your 30%26#039;s and you still have it like me!!|||ok tell your parents to buy you mud mask or visit our web www.freewebs.com/cheapmudmask|||For serious acne a visit to the dermatologist is a must. None of the off the shelf acne product nor any home remedy is likely to help. I had suffered with terrible acne for so long before I went to a dermatologist. My mother didn%26#039;t believe in medication so I was screwed until adulthood and by that time was so programmed to accept it that it was a long time before I went as an adult. The dermatologist put me on acutaine, which has lots of bad side effects, nevertheless it worked and I would go through it again in a minute. So by that time my face was pretty scared (from the acne, not from the acutaine) and I wound up spending a fortune to have the scars filled with articol. Don%26#039;t do this to yourself, beg your mom to take you to the dermatologist if you have to.|||Get any kind of face wash that has 2% (or higher) salicyclic acid (ex. neutrogena%26#039;s acne fading peel, st. ives scrub, aveeno) and a moisturizer (no oil in them) for your skin. Wash your face with water that has 1 or 2 lids of rice or apple vinegar (that%26#039;ll get rid of the redness immediately - if you wants). Also, use eggs to fade scars (if you has any) and reduce breakouts. One more thing, for discoloration that occurs because of pimples, mix white toothpaste with a drop or two of rice or apple vinegar. It needs to be creamy and not liquidy. This will get rid of the discolorations in a few days if its new and a week or so if it%26#039;s old.





Also, try not to sleep on the side of your face because you can spread more bacteria from the pillow sheet to your face (if you sleep with the same pillow sheet everyday) causing more acne.





The egg treatment is very effective in getting rid of pimples very fast (usually in under 15 minutes).
