My older brother says that acne medicine and creams make pimples go away for a bit and then bring more pimples so that the company can make money off you buying their product multiple times. Is this true? and what homemade acne treatment is proven to work?
that’s not nessicarily true, if you use acne creams and treatments they actually do work however acne treatments work differently for different people because people have different skin types. however i knew this one person who used this acne crem to make her acne go away and it actually made it worse BUT when the person’s sister used it it completely cured their acne.
you just have to find what kind of acne treatment works best with and for your skin. you could try to find skin ID from nuetragena . they ask you questions about your skin and the type of acne you have and then they give you the type of creams that work best with your skin.i havn’t used it my self but to me it seems that the product you get would be best for your skin.
good luck
hope this answers your question 
I am wondering how many pills for I take of Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid)
for my acne each day? They don’t say how many you should take on the bottle I got.
These are 500mg pills I got from my health store. Thanks.
According to one small study published in 1995 by Dr. Lit-Hung Leung, high doses of Vitamin B5 resolved acne and decreased pore size. Leung’s study gave 45 Asian males and 55 Asian females varying doses of 10-20g of pantothenic acid (100,000%-200,000% of the US Daily Value), 80% orally and 20% through topical cream. Leung supposedly noted improvement of acne within one week to one month of the start of the treatment.
Critics are quick to point out the flaws in Dr. Leung’s study, however: it was not a double-blind placebo controlled trial. Also, this is the only study looking at the effect of Vitamin B5 on acne, and few if any dermatologists prescribe high-dose pantothenic acid.
So, this one study has major flaws, and its results are dubious. I would not take B5 for acne. One study cannot be used to justity adoption of a medical treatment. There are many other, well-studied options for treating acne that are available both over-the-counter or through a dermatologist that are known to be effective. B5 isn’t one of them. Good luck!
I have four types of vitamins: Acai, Centrum Multivitamin, Vitamin A, and Zinc. Which one would be the most logical to take to fight acne? Please help.
I would go with vitamin A and zinc, probably mostly vitamin A since that comes from vegetables.

I dont know if its a rash or acne but it isn’t red and puffy and pussy there just bumps all over. ive used acne free ive gotten laser blue light im taking antibiotics and using it on my face. could it be a mix of the benzol perozxide acne cleanser and th eantibiotic? how do i tell if its just a rash?
all those chemicals on your face are not doing you any good. you usually have to stick to one treatment for a long duration of time. however, i recently used tea tree oil that i bought from trader joes and i saw results overnight. its all natural and doesnt cost more than 8$ you can get it all walgreens or bartells.
Tea tree oil contains a constituent called terpinen-4-ol that is thought to be responsible for most of tea tree oil’s antimicrobial activity. Because tea tree oil can kill bacteria, applying topical tea tree oil to acne lesions has been thought to kill Propionibacterium acnes, the skin-dwelling bacteria that is involved in causing acne.
In a study comparing tea tree oil gel to benzoyl peroxide, tea tree oil had fewer side effects than the benzoyl peroxide, which was associated with itching, burning, stinging, and dryness.
My forehead is basically one of the only places on my face with acne and I cant seem to keep it from coming. Is it my long bangs going over it? IDk.. How can I stop it from coming? HELP!!!
I used to have a similar problem when I had long bangs. Yea if your acne clusters on your forehead and no where else it’s the bangs. The skin on your forehead needs to breathe, if you want it to go away you’re gonna have to do something about the bangs.
What if I took a low dosage like 3mg or 2mg?
I do have acne prone skin but isn’t biotin suppose to make your body system healthier and grow your hair longer?
Biotin is often used for hair skin and nails, so it shouldnt make you break out.
Not even in Jr High was it this bad. I can probably rule out stress and I haven’t moved or changed my face wash. I’ve always had acne but just never this bad. I’ve tried EVERYTHING–all sorts of perscription pills and creams from the dermatologist, all brands of face wash, I’m trying this blue light therapy, but NOTHING works. Please please please help
possibly cause stress, oil , hormones , eating habits .
what you can do is steam your face with hot water and put a towel over you with your head facing the water. do that for about 30 minutes twice a day and it will open your pores and take out all the puss.
if you don’t already eat healthy & drink lots of water, those things are very key when it comes to getting rid of acne.
- rub salt on your face for about 30 seconds then take it off with warm water.
- get lots of sunshine and fresh air, because your face needs the vitamin c
- don’t touch your face or pop any pimples and when scratching do so with a kleenex or something so the oil from your hands doesn’t get to your face
- change your pillow case every night so that the excess oil from the night before doesn’t get on your face again.
i hope this stuff helps and good luck

Acne is caused due to the wrong food habits and improper skin care. It is also caused due to hormonal changes. Another important cause is the high level of insulin produced by processed carbohydrates. This excess level of insulin creates blockage in pores and extra oil under the skin. Acne is an extreme condition of sebaceous glands. When hair follicles are plugged with Acne Marks or Scars
dead cells and sebum, acne is formed. There are many ways to eliminate acne scars at home.
I’m just wondering.
Would not taking my daily multivitamin anymore stop my acne?
