21 yrs old. have had acne since I was 12 or so. I have combination skin; black heads on nose, (tiny) on chin and near my nose; enlarged pores; rough spots; and pimples on my cheeks.
I have tried:
Benzaclin gel
burned skin
dried it out
Zithromax and others
cleared up chin, then dr took me off of it
Purpose acne wash
Proactiv extra strength -few months
dried my skin, made it more oilier, and flaky
All natural system called L’Bri -2 years
didn’t clear acne up
Clean and Clear kit – few months
saw a change, then burned my skin near the edges of my eyes
Proactiv Gentle formula -1 month
saw a change, then got worse
Any other suggestions?
I purchased other clean and clear face washes as well and the blackhead scrub too….should I bother using them?
Try “aloe Vera plant”. That’s what I used long time ago and it worked great. I no longer have acne, and it took me about three weeks for it to go away completely. What you do is get the “aloe Vera plant” leaf and cut it into peaces and then cut the peaces in the middle, than you take juice of the plant and then rube it on the face and leave it overnight. Now, it does stink a little but its so worth it. If you look at the ingredients on acne stuff the main ingredient is aloe Vera plant. So try it and let me know how long it takes for you to have a clear acne free skin. Good luck,

Give Me 3 Minutes and I’ll Show You How Proactiv Acne Solution Can Clear Your Acne
The number of people suffering from acne seems to be increasing tenfold, and with it the number of possible solutions to cure the ailment that can be both painful and embarrassing. One of the most heard of cures for acne is the Proactiv acne solution. It is the subject of a number of commercials, featuring celebrities like Vanessa Williams and Jessica Simpson. It is also the center of a lot of discussions on blogs and forums as teens and adults alike try to find an acne dermatology treatment that will make the outbreaks stop and get the scars to disappear.
While Proactiv acne solution looks great in the commercials, you may find yourself wondering how much of that is real and how much of that is just TV, and exaggerating the real ability of the acne dermatology treatment.
To discover that answer for yourself you need to understand how it works, and also find people who have used it and hear their results.
The Proactive acne solution is a process that has three basic parts.
Part 1 – The first step to the Proactiv acne solution is a cleanser. This is not a normal department store cleanser, but is one that has been made using a prescription dosage of benzol peroxide. In addition to doing what cleansers are supposed to do, removing oil and dirt from your skin and pores, this cleanser takes it another step with the benzol peroxide in the acne dermatology treatment being an ingredient that can break down the bacteria that creates acne, stopping it from forming new outbreaks.
Part 2- While you have removed the oil and dirt, there still may be some dead skin on the surface of your face. The Proactiv acne solution toner will remove these dead cells and allow your skin to breathe. It also has agents that help to regulate the PH levels in your skin.
Part 3- The final part of the Proactiv acne solution is to start to heal the problems in the skin. A repairing solution will sink into the skin and go to work on any acne scars, working to remove them. This solution will also battle future outbreaks of acne.
While this is the basic system, there also is an option to add more to the plan, though masks, and other lotions to use at various points in the day.
Now that you know how it works, you want to know how well it works. That depends on who you ask. Most people who have used Proactive acne solution say they have seen some sort of results from using the program. Many say it did lessen the symptoms and the severity of their breakouts, but did not get rid of their acne altogether. Another complaint came from those who say using the Proactiv acne solution was, at times, a painful proposition, stinging after it was put on the skin.
As with any other ailment, all solutions don’t work for all people and the only way to truly know if something will work for your condition is to give the Proactiv acne solution a trial run and see if it offers the results you were hoping for.
The outside layer of your skin is covered in oil, and being oil soluble, the Salicylic acid is able to penetrate this outer layer.
Salicylic/20 peel breaks down the protein bonds between the layers of skin, which is why a much quicker peel can be achieved.
For acne, the Salicylic acid has several properties that make it a very effective treatment for acne.

According to author Loren Cordain, modern health and diet problems didn’t start with the advent of packaged snack food, but much earlier–back at the dawn of the agricultural age many thousands of years ago. As humans became less nomadic and more dependent on high-carbohydrate diets, we left behind the diet we had evolved with, which is based on low-fat proteins and plenty of fruits and vegetables…
