I need to zap my zits soon! Have you had any personal experiences with a GREAT acne product (not over-the-counter)? I have oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin. HELP!
I have had extremely clear skin with proactiv solution, but I want something that wont strip my skin like proactiv does. Proactiv is not a solution with anti aging, and now that i am 32 I want something great to prevent any aging that will occur with my skin over the next 8 years and on. How much does Murad cost after the intro price on the murad.com site of .95 price? Thanks for your answers.
I’ve had this severe acne for a month or two now, I had minor to mediocre acne before that. I’ve tried everything, commercial products, home treatments, eating better, eating peanut butter [omega 3/6], and all sorts of other things. I’m really tired of it now, it’s completely making me go into an emo type of person. I’ve lost my friends because I don’t go outside anymore and I had a job interview yesterday but I was so self conscious about it that I told them I had to cancel it. My doctor [not a dermatologist] gave me some pills called "Doxycycline hyclate." Girls use them for stomach problems and he told me if I took them it’d probably help with my acne. I haven’t tried them yet because back when I had minor acne I never saw a difference in it. I’m going to start taking it again but I really don’t think it’s going to work. I looked up something online and it said that I should took showers daily and when I’m taking the shower, to face my face into the water and just let the water run on my face for about a minute, I did that yesterday and today and all it seems to do is dry out my face and leave a bad layer of dead[?] skin everywhere, I can only feel it on the good skin though [the skin without acne.] My mom bought me this bar of soap that is 10% benzoil[spell check] peroxide and that just REALLY dries out my skin. Someone please help me out, by the way, I get that cyst acne every now and then which is REALLY bad because it leaves serious scars that I know are never going to go away.

i dont know how to get rid of my acne, i have tried everything. I started to get acne around 14 and as I got older, it got worse. around 16-17 it got to the point where i started to get cysts and scars came up and i got an appointment with a derm. after trying out antibiotics and creams that didnt work, my derm. put me on accutane. for a whole year after i was off accutane my skin was 100 percent clear. then after the year, acne slowly but surely came crawling back onto my face. it started out small and i got more and more appearing on my face. it is not as bad as it was before accutane, but still enough to make me have a low self esteem. for the past 6 months i have done everything to get rid of acne (i am 19 years old now). i have tried many face cleasers such as clean and clear, st. ive’s apricot scrub, neutrogena and now i am trying out cetaphil 2 times a day (morning and night) and at night use retin a micro. still not completely clear. also for the past 6 months i purposefully have NOT eaten anything greasy such as french fry’s (any fried food), pizza…etc nothing greasy at all. i also do not eat anything sugary such as candy/chocolate/snacks or soda. my diet is strictly beef/carbs. thee ONLY thing i drink now is water!!! and yet i still get acne(pretty bad break outs), i dont get it. i clean my pillow every 2 days also to see if that was the case, but it was not. and another thing, i take a shower once, if not, twice a day (morning and night) …..what am i doing wrong? no matter what i do, acne wont ever go away, it seems like i will have it for the rest of my life……..
