Pills To Get Rid Of Acne

Dave replied: "make sure you are getting enough copper, cut down on soda, desserts, and refined carbs. "

Sandra L replied: "Hi There are many ways that can help you without pills. here are some tips that were helpful for me to treat my acne: Water Drink plenty of water every day. Aim to drink at least two liters of still mineral water. If the skin becomes dehydrated, dead skin cells are not effectively shed, which can lead to blocked pores and further acne. Sunshine and fresh air Sunshine stimulates the creation of vitamin D in your body - an essential vitamin for healthy skin. A little bit of fresh air and sunshine every day will also reduce stress and increase oxygen to the skin. Even when it's overcast, the sun's rays reach us, so try to take a 10 minute walk outside every day. Don't get burnt in the sun though - apart from increasing the risk of skin cancer, burnt and heavily tanned skin forms a thick layer on the skin's surface that doesn't exfoliate quickly enough and leads to blocked pores. Reduce your intake of sugar and refined carbohydrates Last research pointing the finger at diet - eating refined carbohydrates (white bread, pasta, rice, flour etc) and sugar leads to a surge in insulin and an insulin-like growth factor called IGF-1. This in turn leads to an excess of male hormones, which encourage the skin to excrete large amounts of sebum. This grease-like substance encourages the growth of bacteria responsible for acne. Refined carbs/sugar = more insulin = more hormones = more sebum (oil) = more bacteria = more acne Your bed sheets Keep the bed sheets clean. Wash your pillow case on a regular schedule to reduce the transfer of our natural body oils. Wash your face Wash your face only one time a day. Don't wash too many times , because that will cause only more production of oil on your skin. another option is to use very gentle cleansers for normal skin that don't dehydrate the skin and wash twice a day. Anyhow, don't go out and buy those magical acne systems that you can find anywhere online, they just don't work and you will waste hundreds of dollars for nothing. Why not? Well, because it takes time to cure acne and you will need at least few weeks to see any noticeable results. There is absolutely no way to cure your acne immediately. If you really want to treat your acne there are two recommended ways that should combined together for best results. Firstly and most important you must learn how you should fix the internal problem that's causing your acne, not just masking the symptoms or getting relief.

Tavaris W replied: "I acne problems beginning when I was 13. I had acne on my forehead that was embarrasing. I tried Proactiv, Murad, Zyporex, Oxycerin, and even the Asso Gold Cleaning Bar with limited results. I wound up contacting a dermatologist. After 3 months almost all of my acne cleared up. I suggest you try calling a local dermatologist that can help."

cheesepuff007 replied: "I use Pevonia Botanica [Spa Teen], toner, cleanser, and moisturizer. By the third day, my pimples were literally almost gone. It didn't dry out my face, or make it too oily with the toner & moisturizer. I totally recommend it !"

I read that taking fish oil pills can help get rid of pimples. can it rally help? if so, what are some side effects of it? cuz, i heard that it can give you bad breathe, is that true?

Bri B replied: "I am not positive. but my mom takes fish oil pills all the time and her face is usually clear, but she had clear skin as a teen so the best idea is just to call the dermatologist or doctor and ask. Also, it might say it on the bottle under "use". Try a little more research, it should come up somewhere"

Do birth control pills get rid of acne? can a birth control pill help me get rid of my acne?? and don't say "proactiv" all you stupid brain-washed freaks out there. it sucks- and i'm allergic to it. i don't want to know about washes or creams, only pills or supplements.

jenafur replied: "un peu"

kayie replied: "NO!!! BE CAREFUL AND READ LABELS BEFORE TRYING ANYTHING. and i know poactiv does not work , my friend bought and it did not work at all.. try CLINIQUE you can buy it at Macy's and it works wonders for your skin."

christina! replied: "it can make it go away, it can have no effect, or it can make it worse. it depends on the person."

asher3620 replied: "Some forms of birth control can help acne for some people. There are several types of pills and beyond that each brand has a slightly different formula. Some brands report more success with acne than others. If you're already considering birth control for other reasons, be sure to mention an interest in acne control to your doctor. Most gynecologists are not going to suggest birth control ONLY for acne management. There are serious risks associated with birth control AND it is not garaunteed to help everyone with acne in the first place. Birth control can even aggravate existing acne. As another frustration it can take several months on the pill to see any improvement in your acne at all. Just as the pill can cause enough changes to help acne, it can also cause other changes like mood, sex drive, weight gain, etc. So basically if you're taking the pill JUST to get rid of acne, you'd be much better of to visit a dermatologist instead. If you're already on the pill or considering getting on it for other reasons, mention it to the gynecologist, but don't get your heart set on a cure."

Jessie replied: "No. Actually, it can make it worse sometimes. I've heard that Murad makes pills that get rid of acne, though. You might want to look those up."

Do u know a great way to get rid of acne? I've tried everything, proactive, over the counter stuff, topical creams, pills, accutane, and nothing works! Accutane cleared me up, but I broke out a month later. I don't want to go on it again because I want to have kids within a year and I don't want the birth defects of accutane. Is there anything or anyone who knows some miracle way to treat acne? It's not the worst acne, but my zits are big, and painful, I'm a healthy woman and I've had to deal with this acne 10 years now, it's getting old, but most of all it's becoming more and more painful, I just want to have it go away. Thank You

Unknown replied: "If nothign works you should go back on accutane. You need to take it for several months. I still get some acne but just a little bit, not like I used to before accutane. I had to take it for several months. Or ask your doctor about other meds for acne such as creams or pills that dont have birth defects. There are many to choose from."

Little Bird replied: "I use stridex facewipes to go. u can carry them in ur pocket or in ur purse. they are sooo easy. They unclog pores and prevent future breakouts. They work for me."

Kat replied: "Do not take anything orally, except some mild anti-biotic. I had the same problem and used 100% Tea Tree Oil and now I have no acne. Apply a thin layer of Tea Tree on the affected area and your skin will be healed and blemish free. You can buy this from any drugstore. Just make sure that it is 100% and does not contain any impurities. For cleanser, use something like Desert Esscence with Tea Tree as well. You can buy this from Whole Foods. Good Luck."

Amy replied: "We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth! Those of us who suffer from acne has usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work: 1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem. 2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem. I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs. The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know. There is a great website: that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me."

What birth control pills are good for getting rid of acne? I have been taking yasmin for 6 months and its great, I never have any bad side affects but Im 19 and cannot get rid of my acne. Ive heard ppl say that theres cleared up when they went on the pill.

April E replied: "Ortho Trycycline."

Anne R replied: "I don't really have skin problems except during pms, and when I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Low I never had any which was really nice!"

Laydee replied: "I used ortho-cyclen and it worked great. my acne cleared right up and stayed gone"

Diti replied: "I used Gynofen 35, it cleared all of the spots on my back and arms, it helped acne on my face to cease down for a little while but the spots re-appeared after stopping for a few months. (I have the syndrome of polycystic ovaries and my acne is related to that but currently I'm on ro-accutane)"

Carina replied: "Get Diane-35, I love it. It has similar charcteristics as a birth control pill but it's meant to treat acne. My acne used to be bad and Diane pretty much cleared it all up."

Rebecca A replied: "Birth control isn't designed to clear up your skin--that's just a lucky side effect some people get. Go to a dermatologist, they can work wonders :-) I had bad acne and the only thing that worked for me was Accutane. That was several years ago and my skin's a lot better. However, I do still have a little acne and my birth control DOES help with keeping that under control. So if you have very severe/deep acne, you'll have to take more extreme measures, but birth control can help maintain your good skin once you get it!"

jenny replied: "birth control may help clear up your acne but its not made for acne, and doesnt always work, it also makes you gain weight. and once you stop taking it the acne comes back and its a pain in the ass....if you want it gone forever i suggest acutane, you can ask any doctor and they will say it is the best med. for treating acne and the best part is that after 5 months you stop taking it and the acne is gone...there are a few side effects and its hard to get if your a girl but coming from someone who has tried every med. and every cream prescribed and over the counter acutane is deff. the best there is! good luck"

apple cider vinegar pills get rid of acne and warts? thinking about getting some? should i for acne and warts?

kelly e replied: "It won't do it for either. You can try no harm in that but acne needs bacteria fighting agents to kill the bacteria/oil that causes it. Also warts a virus so you have to stop the virus and kill the warts that are on your skin. Apple Cider isn't strong enough. They say it's good for a diet though. "

wayne c replied: "Use ordinary household liquid apple cider vinegar (not the pills) as an inexpensive home remedy to quickly remove common warts on your feet, hands and fingers. For this simple procedure, just 3 things are required: •Apple Cider Vinegar •Cotton balls (end of Q-tip will do) •Band-aid Each night before going to bed soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar, apply it to the wart and then hold it in place with a band-aid. Leave it on 24 hours a day but change the soaked cotton and band-aid each evening for a week. The wart will swell and throb a little as it reacts with the vinegar and then start to turn black within the first two days and after a week or two will be completely gone.

How do I get rid of Acne? Ladies...? I have had acne for three years now. Im currently taking a birth control pill to help balance out my hormones and help reduce bumps. It's been helping some, but I still have little dark spots and breakouts on my face. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or products that could help me out. I've tried make up but its hard to find the perfect match for my odd, olive skin tone. Thanks for your help

Believers Never Die replied: "I have been using Acne Free for almost a week now, and i started seeing incredible results within a few days. I had tiny bumps all over my face, and they are gone now! My face is so much smoother, i love it! It also helps control breakouts. Im getting close to my ''monthly gift'', so im kinda breaking out right now, and Acne Free keeps it from getting out of control. The only problem is, it might dry your face out, so i would suggest using a moisturizer afterwards. Overall, i really recommend it! I have used expensive stuff like ProActiv, and Acne Free works much better for a smaller price. Try it!!"

divadev replied: "If you don't want to use a prescription that you get from the doctor, Proactive is great. It has worked for all of my nieces. In terms of makeup, you should use a pure mineral powder makeup - bare escentuals works great - you can get the coverage that you need on your spots without looking "madeup" and you can blend the powders to get just the right color. It also will not cause you to have any more problems with your skin."

Xallen replied: "1. Vitamin A helps 2. Eating less sugar helps 3. Go to your doctor, and ask them to write a prescription for minocycline or acutane."

Danny replied: "I know I'm a guy but I had acne when I was abit younger like 5 years ago. You should use a cleanser every day morning and night, I used Clearisil but it might not work for you, everyone is different and you have to go through products and use them through trial and error. For treatment you need a cream from your Dr and if you see him he/she would probably prescribe Benzoyle Peroxide to put on or Duac at night, I use Duac and it works a treat, very fast acting and goes away quick. Don't overwash though because it irrtates the skin and casuses more breakouts. Hope that helps abit. Danny"

Tarynn replied: "| use the stuff from Acne.org and it's really working for me, from the little bumps on my face to the bad back and chest acne. My dermatologist tried to get me on Accutane or the pill after my last appointment when I came in with bad body acne, but I refused and told him to prescribe a topical. Which I threw in the trash and started that program. And it's really helped."

bmtchurro replied: "try a honey mask!!!!!!!! i just started doing it and its already helping with my acne in just 2 days!!!!!! :D IT HAS TO BE RAW HONEY and just aply it over your whole face trust me it works!!!!!!!!!"

GloriaS replied: "Try Duac or Retin-A Micro"

What is the best way to get rid of acne without medicine or pills? What type of lotions work the best?

lynda replied: "there is a product out called Pro Active. It works great to clean your skin and mositurize also. My four children used it for there acne and they had beautiful looking skin and still do. It cleared them up in no time."

Miss_Blair replied: "besides using many lotions it also helps to drink alot of water"

A replied: "Wash your face twice everyday"

swimmer4tc06 replied: "My sister tried proactive, but it didn't work for her. She went to the dr. for a physical and the dr. told her to wash her face with oxyclean wash and then get oxyclean lotion. She's been doing it for only a few days and her face looks tremendously better...much better than it ever did with proactive."

Kezza replied: "Just wash your face twice a day with antibacterial lotion (cant remember what i used but it works great). after washing face Use witchazel by using a cotton ball and dabbing it on your face"

R.S. replied: "depending on your skin type you have to buy the lotion accordingly. Oily skin requires lotion for oily skin etc. usually people like a light lotion (not too creamy or thick). To rid acne, try drinking a lot more water and avoid high sugar and high fat foods, cuz they come out through your pores. Also a home remedy that I hear works is putting toothpaste on your pimples overnight. Also exfoliate if you dont have overly dry skin, you dont even need to buy an exfoliant, try some sugar with a LITTLE water, and massage on your face. To name some lotions, I know some people love to put Nivea products, vaseline, its a trial and error thing to find out what works for you."

RobynGee replied: "Benzoyl Peroxide! Start with a 5% lotion applied after washing your face in the morning and again at night. If 5% doesn't work after a few days then try 10%. It works great and was recommended by my dermatologist."

simple replied: "the person that mentioned the peroxide was right on the money...it's cheap and easy! you can also try holding a warm cloth on your face to open your pores and then use an astringent (cheap...at walmart). try not to touch your face a lot (i have a horrible habit of leaning on my hand) and wash your pillowcase often. if you exercise, wash your face right after to avoid your pores getting clogged. drink a lot of water."
