So I made a thread, probably about 2 years ago, about my bad case of acne. I've got it on my face, chest and back. It's the worst on my back, especially on my shoulders. The thing is though, I have gone through so many different acne care products. And for a very short time it appears as if they wroks, but then it just comes back, even after continual use. I've told my mom I really didn't care that much about having acne, because if no product will help, it's really not that big of a deal, but she always goes off on her not wanting me to have "scars" and stuff. Which kinda pisses me off.So what should I do?
-
Still bad acne.
-
My brother used to have AWFUL acne. He went to a dermatologist and they gave him accutane. If it really does bother you then maybe you should look into that?
-
What exactly is Accutane? And I'll probably have to end up going there. I honestly don't care that much about my acne, like at all. It's all my mom, she is weird about it.
-
It's an oral medication. Here's some more info .
-
I thik a lot of the OTC products you find in drugstores and places like Wal-Mart are too harsh and can make you acne worse. Try all natural or more gentle products, especially for you face. Things like tea tree oil or lavender oil are good, natural antibacterials. You can buy the pure, but use them diluted on your face and other areas. You could also try mixing them with your facial cleansers.

Hi there,Some home remedies for acne...1. If you are using some sort of an anti-acne lotion already, mix some really fine oatmeal and natural yoghurt so that they form a thick paste. Put it on your face and leave it to dry. Wash it off with lukewarm water THEN, apply your lotion.2. Brew three bags of normal tea. Add some basil leaves. Leave for about 20 minutes. Apply to your acne places with a cotton bud.3. Apply fresh mint juice every night.4. Use lettuce leaves saturated in water to wipe your acne with..5. Mix two tablespoons of brown and two tablespoons of white sugar. Wet a little and rub onto acne.6. Apply a paste of honey and cinamon powder at night. Wash off in the morning.Hope these help!
