Ive tried almost everything under $10, but what else is there. ive also tried proactiv and it works, but i can stand to wait for it to deliver.

A few things. If proactive works for you, keep using it. You should order ahead, so you always have something in stock. I think you can sign up for a monthly delivery.





If you didn't want to go that route, you should keep a few things in mind. Most importantly, don't over wash your face. I understand the there is need to wash your face when it is greasy or when you have been sweating, but resist temptation to overdue it. When you over wash your face you end up drying it out and destroying the normal epithelial border that protects it--locking in moisture and keep out bacteria. If you have to wash your face allot, I suggest using the Cetaphil brand face wash. It is a very gentle face wash that allows one to wash there face many times a day without over drying. If you still need to moisturize your face, choose a Cetaphil brand lotion.





The best over the counter product for killing acne is benzyl peroxide. Find a product with the lowest concentration, so it doesn't dry out your face. Apply this once a day in all areas of your face to prevent breakouts.
Reply:I have heard that you can use probiotics like acidipholis and bifidus( the active cultures in yogurt ) in pill form from the drug store. This helps get rid of the stuff in your system that may cause acne and other skin problems
Reply:tea tree oil has been working well for me. also, those blue clay masks that suck everything out of your pores. Avon had a good one but i haven't seen it lately.
Reply:Home remedies work much better
Reply:I had acne until I was 30!!! The only thing that kept my face clean but not dry was Nutrogena bar soap, unscented (black %26amp; white box) I still use it. Rinse well.

Reply:I have tried this, and it works: take the yolk of an egg, beat it lightly and spread it on your face until it's almost dry, then wash off with warm water. Do this on a daily basis for 10 days and it WILL help, because egg yolks are high in vitamin A. Not to mention that a dozen eggs are less than a dollar.





If you don't know how to separate the yolk from the white, this is what you do: gently crack open an egg with a knife around the middle, getting two shell halves. Keep the yolk in one half and dump the whites out of the other. Transfer the yolk back and forth between each half until the whites have gone (do it over the sink). Then dump your yolk into a small bowl and lightly beat with a fork.





Continually washing your face doesn't do much because when you wash it, you're stripping off all the moisture (grease) so your skin just makes more to combat the dryness brought on by washing.





Noxema is a good product to wash with, it smells pretty bad if you're not used to it, but it is gentle enough to use every day. Also, there's lots of soaps out there just for acne, Aveeno had (I haven't purchased it recently, maybe they don't make it anymore, not sure) a special facial soap for people with acne.





Good luck!
