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.

Dealing with Moderate/Severe Acne
Dumont in Evanston, IL -Ok so I tried the dermatologist thing (including microdermabrasions every week) as well as Proactiv and Zenmed and supplements. My acne was between moderate and severe.
Unfortunately no one ever convinced me that your diet can possibly affect acne - until I was in college. I stopped eating a ridiculous amount of sugary and white flour foods (especially candy, breads, jam, cookies, etc.) and started eating more vegetables/fruit/whole wheats/etc and avoided processed foods (going organic is good way to do that). Amazingly my acne cleared up. Like unbelievable. I also stopped using facial products and just stuck with regular glycerin soap. (I've been having success with this for probably 4 years now).
A lot of you are on a typical American diet (and some probably eat WAY too much crap like I did) and you ain't gonna do much for yourself if you stick with that diet - no matter what product or trick you use. Those tricks pretty much only work for the occasional pimple if your face is pretty clear already.
I still struggle with my sugar addiction so when I eat too much junk I'll get some zits again. But if I can control that my face does wonderfully well. (Try replacing sugar with things like stevia...you can even sprinkle stevia over unsweetened corn flakes for cereal...and I love coffee with stevia).

Hand Sanitizer for Acne
Meshell in God's Country, USA -
My daughter uses hand sanitizer to keep her acne at bay. It is basically rubbing alcohol in a gel form, but it is easy to squirt some into your hand and apply like a lotion AFTER you have washed your face.

Acne cure
chris in new york -This is the best way I found to stop acne is to wash your face with a soft and water-soaking towel this clenses the pores that causes the acne then after you wash your face apply face cream gently on the face(this works with most quality face creams) hope it works for you!

Change your diet & cure your acne
Tina in Seattle, WA USA -I've found that my skin breaks out when I eat chocolate, wheat products, or ingest caffeine. Acne isn't really a skin problem. The body isn't processing something that it's allergic to, so it eliminates the toxins thru the skin. You have to get rid of the source of the problem, not just treat the symptoms. Acne is just a symptom of an internal issue. I strongly recommend consulting w/ a naturopath. Dermatologists have never helped me clear up my skin. They don't understand that it's a systemic problem.

Have oilier skin? Use alcohol!
Rachel in Harrisburg, PA -My face is relatively oily in general and I have been struggling with breakouts since I was 13. I do use proactiv and that has helped a lot but I have also found that I do not like their toner (or other toners out there in the marketplace) so my mom suggested using rubbing alcohol instead of those other toners full of chemicals.
Directions: Clean face with warm water (enough to open your pores but not burn them!) and your usual scrub or wash. Then apply simple rubbing alcohol with a cotton ball. You will want to use 2 or 3 cotton balls to ensure that you are really cleaning your face. The smell is very strong so do not breathe in the fumes. It's extremely simple and has really worked well on my face.
Hope this works!
