Is there a real cure for acne?

I am 11 WAY too young to have acne is there a cure?|||You grow out of it. You can make it so no1 knows u have it though.








http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…|||For me I find that using acne cream and washing my face a lot helps, also don%26#039;t touch your face a lot because you can transfer bacteria and dirt onto your skin and that%26#039;s how some pimples start.But, if your skin is sensitive don%26#039;t use harsh acne cleansers because they can make your skin burn and turn red or pink. And no there isn%26#039;t a cure for acne but there are things that can help minimize pimples and acne! |||1. Squeeze the juice out of fresh lemons or limes.





Apply the juice directly on your acne scars using a cotton ball. Let your skin soak up the lemon juice for a while before washing it off with water. Lemon juice improves the appearance of dark acne scars and blemishes by lightening them.





2. Mix sandalwood with a few drops of rosewater to make a paste.





The sandalwood and rosewater paste can be used as a facial mask and can be directly applied on the scarred area. Leave the paste on for more than an hour. Wear it overnight if you can. Wash off completely with water. This is an effective method of how to treat acne scar because of sandalwood%26#039;s soothing and cooling effect on the skin.





3. Slice up a tomato and place it over your face.





Tomatoes are rich in vitamin A that hinders overproduction of sebum that causes acne. Vitamin A also has antioxidant qualities that refreshes and renews scarred and damaged skin.





4. Olive oil does not only improve the taste of food, but can also improve the appearance of acne scars.





Massage olive oil on the scarred skin. Olive oil has a moisturizing quality that softens the skin%26#039;s texture and reduces visibility of acne scars.





5. Honey is another natural moisturizer that can help in treating acne scars.





You can use honey as a mask or orally take a specially formulated honey acne scar treatment.





6. To treat acne scars, use this mixture as a face mask:





1 tablespoon of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of yogurt, 1 tablespoon of oatmeal, and a few drops of lemon juice. Pat the mixture onto acne scars, leave on for 10 minutes, and rinse off.





7. A popular way of how to treat acne scar is to use a face mask made out of tomatoes and cucumbers.





These two combined can greatly reduce the visibility of acne scars. Using a tomato and cucumber face mask also tightens the pores of the skin giving it a nice, even texture.





8. To get a quick relief from acne scars.





Rub some ice cubes in a pack on the affected area. This soothes the irritated skin and also shrinks the size of pores.





9. Fenugreek is an effective solution to how to treat acne scars.





You can make a paste out of fenugreek leaves and use it as a face mask. You can also boil Fenugreek seeds in water and use the solution on acne scars after it cools down.





10. lavender oil





Saturate a cotton ball with a few drops of acne-fighting essential oil such as lavender oil. Apply it on acne scars at least two times a day.





11. Use cucumber juice or fresh cucumber paste as a face mask.





Cucumber soothes inflammation, refreshes the skin, and heals acne scars.





12. Egg whites are a cheap yet effective way of how to treat acne scar.





Dab some egg whites onto acne scars using a cotton ball and leave on overnight to prevent acne and treat acne scars.|||The following has worked for me. Avoid excess sugar in the diet, especially foods with refined sugar added as an ingredient. Take supplements of vitamin D and chromium, as they work with insulin to regulate the level of sugar in the bloodstream. Vitamins A, C, and the mineral zinc are essential for healthy skin. Of course, all of that is in addition to a nutritious, well-balanced diet, exercise, and getting enough sleep, plus normal good hygiene.





I recommend avoiding topical treatments containing benzoyl peroxide, as it is toxic and can damage skin.||| No, there%26#039;s no cure that will make it magically go away like the commercials would have you believe, but some products have been proven to help some. The main thing I can suggest is to wash your face twice daily with warm soap and water (doesn%26#039;t REALLY matter what kind) to get the oils off your face, then rinse in cold water. The warmth will open the pores on your skin and help clean them, and the cold will help close them back up. That%26#039;s all I used to do as a teen and hardly ever got pimples. I hope it helps.


I would recommend no make-up for a while too, it clogs the pores more.|||I follow three steps daily:





1) Wash face with a cleanser (try garnier fresh, comes in a bright green bottle and doubles as makeup%26amp; eye makeup remover)





2) Exfoliate (this will help get rid of dirt and oil trapped under the skin that causes acne) Try St. Ives apricot





3) Use an oil free moisturizer with acne fighting ingredients. I recommend Clean and clear.











On top of this, I have found very few store bought products are very effective to treat preexisting acne. The above is just a preventative measure against any soon to come acne. I would go to your doc and he can give you a presecription for over the counter creams. These have worked wonders for myself and friends!





Good luck!! And don%26#039;t worry 11 isn%26#039;t too young, some people just mature faster than others! |||I used to have so many pimples as a teen that they called me pimple boy, now I am 24, and have no more, but that%26#039;s cause I%26#039;m older now but I WISH I knew what to do....this is my advice, and you are talking about someone who used so many different products for acne, I remember I even bought proactiv when it first came out on tv.








. DO NOT EACH CHOCOLATE


. Drink a lot of water and eat salad


. DO NOT POP THE PIMPLE OR YOU WILL END UP WITH SCARS ON YOUR FACE FOREVER!!! DO you want that? NOPE!


. Now this is probably the best advice---- go to a dermatologist,... you will pay probably $100 dollars but guess what? This is $100 for your face, do you want to have scars and pimples forever? NOPE, you probably just started acne, so you have to do everything possible to make sure you prevent it as much as you can.


. and make sure you DON%26#039;T use too much of the acne product then you suppose to





|||yes. you can use neutrogena, you can use clearasil, you can use face masks, you can steam your face, and you can use just soap. there are so many ways you can keep your face clean. i use all of those and my acne is really clearing up. try them out. and you%26#039;re not too young to have acne. everyone has it at one point in their life, you might just be early.|||there%26#039;s no real cure.


you can pay tons of money to basically get a new face but also if you use too many different washes then your skin gets confused and gets even worse.


try the new %26#039;Skin iD%26quot; thing,it gets made just for the type of acne that you have,try it out? you can search it on google...


hope i helped!|||try to not get stressed and find a face or body wash that you think works or works ok and stick to it. and remember what active ingredients are in it. it will take a while to find something that works for you. just remember your always going to have some, and the more you stress about it the more will pop up. truly try everything to not get stressed it works wonders. |||Drink loooots of water. They say 8 glasses per day, thats alot. atleast drink three glasses/water bottles. It cleans your body of toxins. WASH your pillow case ALL THE TIME!! sleeping at night with a dirty face and hair, all that bacteria gets trapped in your pillow case and its constantly on your face. DO NOT use regular soap. you will dry out your skin and cause it to break out more. use clean and clear and stick to it. every once in a while use a scrub to get all that dead skin off. and moisturize like crazy after washing. Dont over do it tho. So many times iv washed my face too much to the point where it gets raw. I had acne at a young age too. im 20 now and i have great skin.|||there actually is...... i went to the dermatologist and she told me that since there is so much risk to it they don%26#039;t tell people unless you go there and find out.





Its called accutane





i used it and i will never get acne for the rest of my life =]





you take a pill for 6 months 2 times a day





then no more acne =]





LOVE IT|||im almost 17 and have acne. i havent found anything that works for me. but its different for different people. You can try all the major namebrands. None of them worked. Something that has helped me is to dab hydrogen peroxide on my face. make sure to wash it off after leaving it on for a couple minutes. Thats just something that has worked for me. Give it a try.|||Different products work differently for different people. You just have to experiment with different products and see what works for you. See a dermatalogist so he can determine if it%26#039;s actually acne...it%26#039;s easy to confuse other similair skin conditions as acne.|||No there isn%26#039;t.





Proactiv did NOTHING for me. It works for a pretty small percentage of people actually. Try it if you want but don%26#039;t spend much on it till you know if it works for you or not.





I love all the %26quot;wash your face%26quot; comments. Are people still that clueless about acne?|||Well the best way to prevent acne is try not to sweat a lot and avoid sweatbands and helmets and try not to eat greasy food but sometimes acne can be passed down and absolutely do not trust those acne cure commercials it is trash and good luck|||too young your not!i had it sooo bad when i was 11,12,13,14 age group.the mirracle for me and still is,is rubbing achol out it on cotton swab every morning and before bed...it will like kill youre acne but your face will need some good lotion once in a while!|||Retin-A cream.


Proactiv.


And The Pill, depending on if you have your period or not. When you do get your period, and your acne is still getting worse I would suggest going on The Pill. That%26#039;s what I did and it worked. Paired with Retin-A cream of course.|||stop drinking pop and eating sugary things. also be sure to wash your face once a day and use an acne cream.








orrr do what i did and go on birth control. it works wonders. i started birth control around your age for my acne.|||There is no cure, sorry :( You can only use preventative maintenance.


Wash your face 2x daily, use toners, microdermabrasion, eat right, eat low sodium, refining masques. |||I would say that the best cure for acne is simply to wash your face since acne is caused by the blockage of your pores. If this doesn%26#039;t help you could always try commercial products that you see on T.V.|||Well it depends


if you have like ALOT of acne


than i suggest you to try proactiv.


It works for any age.


But if u have just some small pimples


Then go buy some blackhead cleansing face wash from Neutrogena.|||no sorry. there is this wonderful thing called coverup that all but makes it disappear. to not spread the acne, dont touch ur face, and wash it 2x a day. or, if its a whole lot, go see a dermatologist|||dont worry.


i started getting it in 4th grade.


i went to a dermatologist.


they help, but it was kinda embarrasing.


and yes, washing your face HELPS!


and DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE!


dont, you%26#039;ll clog your pores.


|||the only %26quot;cure%26quot; is acutane. every other medication works as a stall but not a cure.|||Go call up a salon and get %26quot;extractions%26quot; done. Call around until you get a good price. Then invest in proactiv, but make sure you use an spf because acne medicine accelerates sun damage.|||eat heathy foods, and cut out all soda and fast food. trust me, it is worth it.


not only will you have clear skin, you will feel great too and your body will develop healthier.


.|||talk to dermatologist about going on Accutane. My son had real bad acne and what looked like deep scars......they are now gone. there is hope out there so talk to the doctor.|||May be try washing your face more often and avoid exposure to heat or coldness. It seems there%26#039;s lot on TV like pro-active skin care but I haven%26#039;t tried it so not sure if it works or not. |||you have to wash your face...

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…|||No, But they have very effective treatments nowadays. If you suffer from acne past your teenage years you%26#039;ll have to treat your skin for life :(
