When we talk about acne, only two things come to mind – treatment of acne and control of acne. Easy to think, hard to know and harder to try. Which or what kind of acne treatment would you opt for? With a plethora of products occupying already dwindling shelf space in most drugstores, picking up the right acne treatment would be like groping for a light switch in the dark. You know it is there, but cannot find it..!

With many acne treatment products using a lot of marketing slogans like “magic acne pills” or “clear acne in 72 hours”, what works and what does not is difficult knowledge to attain, much less buy an acne treatment option. Most claims, of course are dubious. Many over the counter acne treatments are known to worsen the acne situation, much less cure it.

What are some at-home treatments for blackheads? Recently, I began to break out quite a lot. I am washing my face several times per day and using Clearasil acne cream before bed. My face is relatively clear now, but there are still blackheads and I can’t seem to get rid of them. What can I do?

Can you treat it with a regular facial acne cleanser or do you need something different.

I don’t have the money to see a dermatologist, but I’ve tried everything and it seems that hormonal treatment is my only option. I wash my face twice a day with oxy max face wash, that seems to be the best treatment for now but it doesn’t get rid of my cystic acne which for now is just above my neck. I also take vitamins a and b complex.

I’m getting married in two months and need to clear up my skin, but i can’t use anything that contains benzoyl peroxide (i’m allergic to it), and those biore strip thingies don’t work for me. help?????

I don’t have extremely deep scars on my face, but they are noticeable and widespread around my face. Depending on the lighting/shadows of a room, they can be very noticeable to not so noticeable.

I have seen a dermatologist, and dumped a couple grand into micro-dermabrasion. I noticed mild results, but could not afford to keep them up. I try to do research, but it is so confusing. Chemical peels, acid peels, lasers, surgeries, home remedies, etc.

I don’t want to do anything super serious with high risk of intensified scarring, or that has long recovery times. I also don’t have tons of cash to waste on unreliable methods. Can anyone offer some suggestions, either from professional or personal experience?
