Hand Sanitizer
Natalie in Richmond, VA USA -
I am 49 years old and have always had acne on my face. I have tried every product and went to doctors, didn't help, often it made it worse. In June 2008 I read on the internet about trying hand sanitizer to treat acne. I use it after I wash my face, rub in my face for 30 seconds - No Acne since! And it doesn't dry out my skin as other state, I use the one with aloe in it and my face is just fine.

Hand Sanitizer
Brian in Cleveland, Oh -I have always struggled with black heads and small bumps on my forehead. One day I decided to use Hand Sanitizer thinking it would kill the bacteria causing these black heads. OMG it works. I have never felt my skin so smooth. I used a face wash, then hand sanitizer, let that set for a couple of mins, then use a non-oil moisturizer (twice a day). I know they say Hand Sanitizer will dry out your face, but make sure to use a moisturizer after words. I swear this works, and wish I would have tried this along time ago.

Neutrogena Acne Wash
Monica in Beaumont, Tx -From Walmart, or almost anywhere. Quite easy to find. Pimples go away quick, almost overnight when I wash my face with this whenever I think about it, which is about three times per day. I have a bad complexion normally but now it's "peaches and cream"

Common things!
Lyssa in Usa -Many things can effect your amount of acne. Like, lack of excersize, to many sweets and grains, and stress. If you manage those things carefully, acne shouldn't come as severly. To get arid of acne you have already, just stick some toothpaste over each problem at night, and the red-ish color won't be there in the morning, or, just put a drop of fresh orange juice, directly from an orange, and let the acid do the trick!

URINE AND NEUTROGENA
Michaela in miami, fl USA -Take a clean white cloth and use this to catch your first morning urine mid-stream and wipe this over your face. Allow to air dry, you will feel your pores tighten and possibly sting, once dry shower and clean your face with neutrogena original glycerine soap. If you can also use some urine at nite and not rinse it off until the morning it works quite well also. I wasn't able to do the all night thing as my husband kept saying something smelled funny. If you drink enough water your urine should not stink but its not will be noticeable if you have to sleep in close quaters with someone. Now let me acknowledge that when I first heard about this I thought for sure this was the most disgusting thing I had ever heard, until every option I had for my acne no longer worked, no change in diet made a difference and so I secretly tried this and it worked perfectly. I don't use it everyday anymore, I only use the neutrogena soap daily and the urine when needed.
