Acne?

[Capstone]

I've been battling serious acne for so many years now. It's affecting my face, back, buttocks and chest. I don't know what to do again. It's really affecting me because I can't seem to do anything about it, and is affecting my self esteem

I have a lot of acne, too, especially on my face and chest. I tried so many washes and skin products but none worked. Then I found a cleaning product, it's called Norwex. They also make body and face rags. All of their products are eco-friendly and the face rag works better than all of my face washes and lotions. You should give it a try.

I’m not an acne expert or anything of that sort but I exfoliate, use aloe Vera or Manuka honey as a face mask then I tone and moisturize. I’m not going to say that for your skin that’s going to work but for mine it has. I rarely get pimples anymore and when I do it’s from PMS. You need to find a routine for your skin that will cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize it.

Hi! I’ve spent many years fighting acne. I’m menopausal now and it’s finally calmed down. I had cystic acne which looks bad and hurts.

I have successfully controlled it (except period time) with oral antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide and erythromycin topical ointment and washing with 10% benzoyl Peroxide wash..

Don’t over wash your face, it just makes it worse. Morning and night only

Do not exfoliate active acne: it will just spread the infection and cause more acne.

Find a doctor to prescribe antibiotics.

I know how you feel. Acne is a real confidence sucker. Most people who don’t have skin problems don’t understand. They think we’re just dirty. Of course that’s not true.

Good luck . I wish you all the best.
