acne: What is the best product to clear acne?

Hello, my name is shana. I have been working in the industry related to skincare, dermatology and cosmetic surgery for many years. There are different causes of acne skin. But whatever the cause is, you can minimize skin damage (like acne scar) using appropriate products. Try Genosys Skin Renewal System AHA Peel. If you are not allergic to alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), this is a good peel product to try. This peel doesn't require any neutralizing or wash-off step. It will help exfoliating and cleanse your acne. If your acne is severe, you may try microneedling after peeling. Acne bateria live in anaerobic condition therefore, needling kill them by exposing them with oxygen.

This product is not advertised to be an acne reducing product. I don't have a problem with acne so I can't answer the question with my own experience.

No we do not recommend, Oregano for Acne. We do have a Acne fighter synergy, or even maybe tea tree.

Acne might get worse. I would not suggest using when you have acne. Start it with a cleat acne free/ or less acne . It definitely works in renewing skin. I have used it and seen the results.

I just apply a thin layer over problem areas after I wash my face. This has nothing to do with this product, but check out: thelovevitamin.com. If you're suffering from acne, she has great advice. Good luck!

If you are asking this question because you are worrying about the acne problem, I highly recommend this product for your oily skin. Like I said earlier, I had acne problem all my life and this product actually helped me. I also had very oily skin all my life. Now I don't have oily skin and my face do not feel dry either. It works for me and I only use it at night after shower.

This isn't made specifically for acne, so there really isn't a comparison. This is an excellent cleanser, and I don't think it would hurt to use it for acne, and may help, but that's not what this cleanser is targeted to. This is my favorite cleanser, and I think brightens, and cleans the skin better than even more expensive cleansers.

Nothing I know on the market would remove acne scars...it dries up the zits quite well but I haven't had to deal with scaring. I'm sorry.

I have been using the lightstim acne light since April 2013. There is nothing I recommend highly enough for someone with acne. I used to get light - moderate acne on my chin, and cheek area. Since using the light every morning (usually takes me 40 min to do my whole face) I have nearly perfect skin. You can use the light at night too or twice a day if desired. It's expensive but I would pay 1,000 if I needed to. I would buy the light if you have bad skin.

I would use the cleanser first, then a toner, then the acne lotion, the regular lotion is just for added moisture, this is my regimen and I've never had a breakout since I've been using it!

It worked for my moderate acne and prevents new breakouts. This is worth the money.

Ok, step one is a very strong face wash. Step 2 is the best part IMO. It is a moisturizer that is medicated. So you are treating two very important factors of acne. You're moisturizing the area but also treating it. And the 3rd step is a strong night time treatment that if you get a white head or pimple pop up, you put that directly on the pimple and let it sit on it all night. Be careful tho, it's very strong. IMO it's the best anti acne product on the market. I hope this helps ;)

My understanding is "yes", this product can help with preventing breakouts. Oil dissolves oil. It also can cleanse your pores of dirt and bacteria naturally, gently and effectively, while replacing the dirty oil with beneficial ones, like this product. I find for oily skin, it should be a 2 step process. Initial cleanse with oil, then follow up with your favorite cleanser. You'll be surprised how clean your face will feel and how quickly blemishes will clear!

I haven't used the treatment since the dinosaur age but continued using the lotion because it was fast acting, only a minimal amount was needed to "stop a zit in its tracks", and not super drying. I found that my acne cleared up when I started to add an additional amount of zinc to my diet in pill form and stopped drinking soda (this is a big one, no derm agrees with me except the one who told me that even though there is no proof that sodas cause acne, they do keep good minerals and trace elements from being used by the largest organ we have -- our skin) and sweets. I am 66 now so if you are considerably younger you may want to ignore everything I have just said. Good Luck!

Yes; I would say it worked best on that. For face acne it worked well to but not as well for anything deep or cystic. Overall my back cleared up within one month and my face looked much calmer and clear minus a spot or two of stubborn cystic stuff. Keep in mind all I did was use standard face washing twice a day and a fresh pillowcase every night- nothing else except these pills (no salylic acid or benzo stuff)

if you have acne and u are breaking out, limit the use to once a day..you don't need to get all the chemicals running throughout your skin too much.
