Acne

My biology teacher said that tanning beds help dry out acne pimples, and help them go away. Is this true?

Sam asked:


I’ve used Clearasil in the past and that work ok for me in treating acne, but not really in maintaining it. I began using Proactive about a month ago, and believe it or not, it doesn’t seem to help, if anything, the severity of my acne was worsened, so I need a new solution, please help in anyway. I’m not willing to pay big bucks for over the counter treatments or dermatologist(I’m a poor college student). So please leave any tips, thanks

Lala asked:


I have bad acne. I’ve tried so many forms to help it. I heard from a friends that the pill will help but I’m scared of weight gain or bad side effects.

plushpenguin asked:


I already know that anti-acne pills exist, but do any of them work? What about supplements for skin health, do any of them improve acne?

peacock asked:


I have always been acne prone. I have a few scars as a result.

Angelica Donavan asked:


Same question, different time, kind of a different category …
I’ve been recently reading certain articles about acne, in particular for the cystic kind, and it’s come up in some that Zinc and Vitamin A can help really well. Is this true? And if so, how are you supposed to take the “doses” or whatever the intake is… I really don’t know and so I appreciate the answers, thanks a lot!

Like, I’ve never had an acne problem. Never more than a pimple or two on my face, for which I am very glad. And I’m 16! But then I see some guys at school with their face covered in pimples. And most people just fall in between, with enough pimples on their face. What determines how bad your acne is? I know it has to do with hormones and puberty, but do your hormones directly influence the level of acne?
Oh yes I do consider myself lucky, I keep wondering when my luck will run out!

I recently caught the end of an over the counter acne treatment commercial claiming to work better than Proactiv Solution. I have used the latter for years and love it, but wouldn’t mind saving some money!!! The problem is, I can’t remember what the new brand is. . . .
Thanks for your input!

RitDitDoo asked:


I don’t have severe acne or anything, my face isn’t too oily or too dry, but it seems like I always have some acne and I do wear makeup a lot. I want to find a good foundation that wont cause acne, but gives good coverage because my face isn’t even toned and i have blemishes etc.
Thanks!

I recently began using Murad Acne Complex and Iam planning to stick with for a good 3 to 4 weeks for good results, I hope. My skin doesn’t usually experience sensativity but after using the products my skin sometimes burns and doesn’t feel totally soft and smooth. Iam wondering if my recent breakouts are my skin purging or irritation…
