Find Potatoes On Acne in Q&A

can u cure acne with potatoes or toothpaste? i read in an article that u can cure acne with potatoes. supposedly, u rub the inside of the potato on ur face, and leave it on overnight. and most of the acne will be gone the next morning. it said the same thing for toothpaste. do these tricks actually work? don't answer unless u really know from experience.

ElizabethMichele replied: "Never heard of the potato thing but the toothpaste never worked for me (I know a lot of people swear by it though). Might as well try it, potatoes aren't expensive and there's always the possiblity it could work."

lil bit replied: "I have used toothpaste for a pimple. It did pretty good I don't know if there is a cure for acne, but lots of remedies on the market to help prevent and control it"

Matt W replied: "u can with toothpaste but it has to be a paste"

angiola replied: "Potatoes work for redness.... but they make your face stink. I'm not kidding it just hangs on you for whatever reason. Toothpaste... not a fan of either. If it gets close to your eyes it hurts VERY VERY VERY BAD. It stings horrifically. I'm not kiddin. Owwwwwwwwwwww. I wouldn't use either of these. Neither were a 'miracle cure' any better than a regular acne pad, and the cons definitely outweighed the pro's. I think the best "cure" is to put a dab of vaseline on the pimple--that will make it run its course faster so that it's ready to be popped faster."

littlelottielost replied: "potatoes: i haven't tried As for toothpaste...it doesn't work over night but it's helpful, it dries up the spots, but i wouldn't use it for severe acne. I've been getting treated for acne for almost six years, and finally i'm hopefully gonna go on a powerful antibiotic (i think it is) called roaccutane. I know so many people who have been on it, and they haven't had spots since. As for the toothpaste, it's usually just used for one random spot or so. Hope i helped x"

Iola F replied: "Kathy P, I started having really bad acne problems beginning when I was 18. I had acne on my forehead that was really embarrasing. I tried Proactiv, Aceneticin, Oxycerin, and even the Asso Gold Cleaning Bar with dismal results. I ended up contacting a dermatologist. After 5 months almost all of my acne cleared up. I recommed you try finding a dermatologist that can help."

Does rubbing cucumber and potatoes slices on your face help clear acne? What are some ways to get rid of acne or prevent it from coming? I kno you have to drink water, excersies and eat healthy but what are some other ways?

sarahmoon replied: "no not at all."

Gwen L replied: "hun..just try face cream"

issa A replied: "a goof place to find the answer is google is the best"

jayne62224 replied: "no.. or no one would have acne lol my friends have proactive and it worked wonders for them after you exercise wash your face right away wash your face morning and night"

Mitsy replied: "I like using 100% aloe vera (the kind you buy at a health food store and have to keep in the fridge, not the kind mixed with gel that you put on your sunburn). It's very soothing and it restores the pH balance to your skin. The thing about cucumber is that it's an anti-inflammatory. It can soothe your skin, but it doesn't actually make the pimples go away."

dcnewco replied: "No, but it will make your zits taste better!"

Italian Girl <3 replied: "i havent tried that... but just do what you said eat healthy! answer mine =]"

Mike W replied: "u could just use some acne cream??"

xXBaby_DimplezXx replied: "no, it does exfoliate ur skin. try buying some acne products. those will help a lot!"

fira_gurlie replied: "Actually in Korea, they have a cucumber face massage. You take a fresh cucumber and cut them into thin slices. You cover your face with them and it helps with acme. I find it that I feel better afterwards a cucumber face massage. Makes me feel better anyhow. Kind Lady"

RaGe replied: "it does good to your facial skin but I don't think is going to clear acne."

Anonymous replied: "I've never heard of the potato skins but i have heard that the cucumber only relieves the stress around your eyes....besides water, exercising and eating right you should also wash your face in the morning and at night...that helps a lot!! hope this helps"

tineetot replied: "Absolutely not. The potatoe will clog your pours with starch, and the cucumber is not going to do anything for you. The best way to prevent acne is to keep your skin healthy. Morning and Evening washing with mild soap and a good exfoliant before bed is a wonderful way... also be sure to use a great moisturizer before bed and under your make up. this will keep the pours from getting clogged, will keep a healthy moisture balance, and will also help the make up stay put longer! Good luck to yoU!"

dime breezy replied: "i heard layin them on your skin helps but not rubbibng them on your face that wont help at all!!but just try facial cream!!"

Audrey King replied: "dont touch your face, wipe makeup off as soon as you dont need it, buy a non-oil mositurizer b/c lack of moisture can cause your skin to overproduce oil to compensate and this clogs pores leading to more zits. Wash your face every morning and night and then moisturize right away. Try to keep bangs and hair non-oily b/c it gets on face and causes too much oil. Also, try not to let your chin or cheeks touch the phone too much cuz that can cause zits. Find an exfoliating face wash as well (usually has microbeads or something like that in it read the packaging)... Good luck! Oh yeah and apply toothpaste on a zit but make sure you dont let it go for more than 15 min. or then youll make it worse. Rinse it off before 15 min. and it should be dryer and go away faster"

LovelyGirl replied: "nope! it don't do nothing."

Abercrombie_Babe replied: "Try washing your face with neutrogena acne cleansing cloths, iv'e been using tose for three days and all my acme is gone! Also dont put to lotion on your face unless it's unoiled and made for faces! Oh drink water, excersice, and eat healthy!"

xxrachyxxbabixx replied: "none wash your face use acne meds"

babigrl19283 replied: "wash your face with neutrogena blackhead elliminating daily scrub pimples go away fast or use the stress control one"

POTATOES & LEMON & HONEY=acne cured? HELP? Okayy so i've seen people put potatoes on their skin for about 10 mins. that helps heel scars. lemons? what do they do? and also should i put honey over my acne or my entire face? cuz i want to have great skin!!!! please help xoxo thanks peoples

Teri replied: "If you want to give your skin the best treatment possible, then I'd strongly recommend using a scientifically tested products (e.g. Clearasil) rather than hear-say home remedies. :)"

Stench replied: "Don't know about that as i've never tried it but i did spend years trying almost every product on the market trying to get rid of acne and nothing ever worked as a permanent solution. that is until my doctor finally gave me something that really did work for me and literally gave me clear skin within less than a week and i never suffered with acne again. woohoo. it was called stiemycin i've found a link for it here if it's any use to you."

Dr Frank replied: "I am afraid neither potatoes or lemon and honey are going to fix your acne. Go have a word with your GP."

Guru replied: "There is this new popular cream that people have been talking about. It was even televised on TV. It prevents future and existing acne, diminishes scars, and lightens skin and blemishes. Fast results too! (It's been claimed that major results can be seen within a week and no later than two weeks) Before and After photos are available at the given ebay site. This person is providing 1-3 week trial samples (Only for ONE DOLLAR.. definitely a deal) on ebay at: Search up "Cee En's Acne Solution" or "best acne solution ever" on ebay. First 100 customers can get the item for $1 for one week trial and up to 3 weeks. Or you can purchase 1 month supply for $40 or 6 month supply for $160 It's expensive, but the product DOES work. My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream. I don't have a problem with acne, but it seems to have great results on my sister who has moderate to severe acne. Her acne swelling went away overnight. I hope this helps. =)"

Tomato and Potato acne treatment? I wanted to try this home acne treatment where i cut a slice of tomato and rub in circular motions, then let it dry. then i cut slices of potatoes after that and rub my face with that, but i don't know if im supposed to let it dry or not. somebody help! this isn't going to become my routine i just wanted to try this once or twice to see if it shows results, plus ive never tried any natural acne cures.

The CRYING Potato replied: "Do tomatoes, but whatever you do, don't use me!"

Goddess of Geek replied: "I think it would work. The acids in tomatoes and potatoes are natural exfoliants that soak into the skin and dry out the excess oil, so let both of them (the potato and the tomato) dry on your skin. There's an all natural line of skincare called Yes to Tomatoes that's for oily or break prone skin. There's also Yes to Carrots for dry skin and Yes to Cucumbers for sensitive skin. I use some of their products and they're great. I can only assume that their oily skin line is good as well. It's one of the few brands that I get from Walgreen's (I'm a total beauty product snob!). It's all organic (CERTIFIED organic), so I would try some of their skincare after you try your treatment as part of your daily skincare regime to prevent further breakouts."

Does applying potato juice on the face get rid of acne? Does applying potato juice on the face get rid of acne?

diamondz replied: "i'm sorry, i know this is no help, but how do you get juice out of a potato?"

nikki z replied: "You know 100% rose hip seed oil is the only thing that made me stop breaking out.And i have a bad history of acne and tried everyting."

izofblue37 replied: "I had never heard of that before, but I guess it does work... A raw potato is cheap and brilliant acne natural cure, especially for whiteheads. The vitamin C makes your skin glow, and alkaline in the potato kills the bacteria on your face. The potato also has an exfoliating effect helping you to get rid of dead skin cells. Papaya fruit produces similar effect; you should also use it raw."

Potato juice fades acne marks? I've heard that potatoes really work; my mom has pimple marks and new red blotches coming up very often. They get really red, a bit bloody and painful. I feel horrible because she's tried EVERYTHING. Should I tell her to try this? Is it reliable; safe? She's so self-conscious. Will rubbing raw potatoes on your face reduce the appearance of acne scars, and help actual acne?

kelly e replied: "Likely not but it's one of those things that can't hurt her if she tried. Tell her to invest in a solid exfoliant - (booths products) and something with pure vitamin e - When she does break out use an acne face wash, always use toner after pat drying (witch hazel) and acne cream with tea tree oil (Proactiv)."

anyone know any ways to get rid of acne scars? so i used to have severe acne but i was put on accutane over the summer and now all my acne is gone but now im left with these hideous marks under my skin, and i was just wondering if there was anyone who had done anything that worked to get rid of their scars. let me know. i heard potatoes are good but i havent tried it yet. does anyone know if that works?

aarooj replied: "well yeah the one thing which i would suggest you is that u put mederma scar gel ehich you can get from any chain pharmacy my sister had the same problem and i recomended that to her and in like 2 weeks she was fine otherwise you can also mix lemon and milk and apply on your scar witth a cotton ball and you will see the results for sure:)"

Mohd Izahan replied: "Pimple scars are the marks left behind after the pimple is cured. They can appear as discolorations or dark red bumps. This can be very disturbing for those who care about their physical appearance. Here are some of the Home Remedies for pimple scars : 1. Tomato, which has vitamin A. Vitamin A, controls the production of excess sebum and also an excellent antioxidant. Slice tomato and apply slices directly to skin. 2. Your skin needs water to keep the skin plump, remove toxins and build new skin cells. Drink at least 80 ounces of filtered water a day to give your skin the quality and quantity of water it needs to reveal healthier, fresher skin. 3. Cucumber is one of the refreshing treatments used for the treatment of acne. Blend the cucumber into a paste and apply it on the spots. Leave it for 30 to 45 minutes and then wash it off. 4. The sandalwood and rosewater blend can be used as a facial mask and cab be instantly applied on the pimple areas of skin. Wear it during the night before going to bed.

Ray replied: "Hi, The best way to clear acne is to heal your ENTIRE body. There's a REASON why some people have acne and others DO NOT. It's an external symptom and to treat it ONLY on the surface is a SHORT TERM SOLUTION. This is what I mean... My name's Ray and I'm an ex-acne sufferer of almost 10 years. I am currently studying for my Masters Degree in Dietetics and Nutrition and previously I've tried everything from commercial acne products such as Proactiv Solutions & topical creams to the more extreme acne treatments, like ultraviolet electric laser therapy and steroidal injections. None of that stuff worked for me. I went to many dermatologists and at one point even flew out of the country to seek a famous skin doctor. None of it helped. Some may say, "Well... maybe you went to the wrong doctor." And I say YES, I did go to the wrong doctor, many times over. But it's not about just taking a pill just to solve a situation. This isn't simply a cold that you can take medicine for. Your body is REACTING a certain way because of foods you eat, the amount of rest you get, the amount nutrients you get, your hormonal output, etc... The only way you can REALLY beat acne is to understand it. I'm talking about taking care of your body and setting it up like someone who doesn't suffer from acne at all. Have you ever wondered why some people eat the way they do, sleep the way they do, DON'T wash their face the way they "don't" and yet still DO NOT have acne? How come you do? Check out my website. It's just a website educating people about acne and their bodies. There are still many articles to come but I'm sure you'll learn something. -http://howiclearedmyacne.blogspot.com"

mike_rosaro replied: "I have never tried potatos but my favorite two home remedies are lemon juice and ice. If you have a small budget I would recommend the acne scar kit from Zenmed. Its all natural and its specifically made for acne scars. Best of all it comes with a 60 day money back guarantee. For the price you can't go wrong.

Noot replied: "I have some home natural remedies for you: •Eat fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables contain lots of vitamins and minerals that can help your skin restore its former beauty. They also contain juices which keep your body hydrated every day. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables to make your skin grow healthier and heal acne scars. •Load up on lemon juice: Lemon juice is a kind of citric acid that's very effective in reducing or getting rid of acne scars. Drink several glasses of lemon juice each day to help your dead skin cells shed faster. New skin cells will also grow healthier and add elasticity to your skin if you load up on lemon juice. •Maintain a balanced and nutritious diet: You can't simply get rid of acne scars by applying natural substances on your skin. A large part of the healing process consists of maintaining a balanced and nutritious diet that aids in the growth of new, healthy skin. Also, eating a healthy diet gives you the essential nutrients that you need to fight against infections and other types of diseases that might complicate your acne scars. Make sure to include tofu, chicken, soy, and fish in your diet as these foods are rich in protein which aids in the healing of your skin. •Try rosehip seed oil: Another amazing home remedy against acne scars is rosehip seed oil. The oil has anti-aging properties that reduce wrinkles, rejuvenate the skin, and bring back its original color. Rosehip seed oil is widely used in commercial cosmetic products that are used to treat burn marks, premature aging, sun damage, surgical scars, facial scars and acne scars. Purchase rosehip seed oil from a department store near you and massage it twice a day on areas of your face that have acne scars. •Apply Aloe vera gel or juice: Aloe vera gel or juice helps get rid of acne scars and makes your facial skin healthier. There are many brands of aloe vera gel or juice available on the market today. Read product reviews of each brand on the Internet to find out which one is the best. Read the instructions on the label carefully before applying on affected areas of your skin."

Reema replied: "Here is a simple tip that you can use to reduce your acne scars and pigmentation. The Oil Cleansing Method What you will need: Warm Water Cold Water Clean Towels Castor Oil Olive Oil The first thing you need to do is to wash your face gently to remove excess dirt and oils from the surface. You will then need to warm a clean towel in warm water and apply it to your face for 3 minutes. Do the same thing with the cold water but this time for one minute. Carry out both the warm water and cold water procedure about 3 times but always finish with cold and then pat dry with another clean towel. Next mix a small amount of castor oil with a small amount of olive oil. A 50/50 ratio will do just fine. Apply the mixture to your skin and let it stay there for 30 minutes and then rinse with warm water. Pat dry with a clean towel and you are good to go. ..."
