Hey, im 13, and i guess have sorta mild acne( some break outs on my chin, and around my nose), i was wondering if there are any remedies or stuff you can buy at the drug store? and im not sure if "acnefree" and proactive" work for me, because it says they are a "adult" formula. I have been using nutragena acne wash for my face, and after that i wipe some witch hazel, i been doing this for a week now. So any tips would be nice, thanks!
Help with acne, im 13!?
Don't use hydrogen peroxide! It will just dry out your face and possibly bleach your eyebrows. I am speaking from experience- I tried this and my face was a crusty mess and my black eyebrows turned red!
The acne free will likely work on you, even though it says adult formula. It contains benzoil-peroxide which is different form regular peroxide. Pediatricians usually suggest products with this ingredient. I have tried everything under the sun and have found that products with this active ingredient are the only products that work. I have also used a benzoil-peroxide based wash from kaiser permanente that works just as well as acne free, so check with your pharmacy to see if they have a pharmacy-brand wash. Since you have mild acne, I think you might be able to get results by just buying the face wash, not the whole set.
A lot of products on the market saclyic acid (sp?) netrogena and stridex use this ingredient. These products work well on some people, but it made my acne worse. Continue to try what you are trying, but if it doesn't work switch to something containing the benziol-peroxide.
Reply:I usually pick my zits so they will turn into scabs. Then I just let the scabs heal and then no more zits!
Reply:Don't pick at your acne. It only makes it worse. Make an appointment with a dermatologist. There are many different prescriptions, lotions, and creams to prescribe you. The dermatologist will prescibe what is right for you.
In the morning I use Clindamycin Phosphate. I use Differin Gel (sometimes I mix it with Differin Cream) at night.
It takes time for the Differin to work too. It may take as long as 2-3 weeks.
I steam my face once a week. It seems to help with the blackheads on my nose.
I'm 18 years old (almost 19 in a month) and I've had light acne for nearly 5 years. I'm tempted to pick at my acne sometimes. I try to resist. I've noticed that picking at your acne only creates more acne. It also creates scars if you pick at it enough. There is no quick fix for acne, it takes time!
Good Luck!

Reply:Acne can be very frustrating, and tough to get rid of. One of the main causes of acne is oil, so to help clear your skin of access oil without drying your skin out you should get oil sheets (clean %26amp; clear makes good ones.) You should use these after school. Wash your face at night with any kind of mild acne soaps, make sure they contain salicyc acid. In the morning wash your face with a regular bar soap, like dove. In the morning only, put a light mostruizer on your face to help keep your skin from drying out. You're probably wanting results fast, by you have to be patient. Also, once or twice a week you can try a clay acne removing face mask. When washing your face make sure to use a washcloth, the oils from your skin can cause you to break out.
