Acne is a skin disorder resulting from the action of hormones on the skins sebaceous glands which leads to plugged pores (blackheads and whiteheads), and outbreaks of cysts or nodules commonly called pimples. They may occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and even the upper arms. It is the most common and chronic skin disease. The acne affects most of the teenagers. However, the disease is not restricted to any age group; adults in there 20s - even into there 40s - can get acne. Being not a life threatening health condition, acne is still upsetting and disfiguring as sometimes it leads to permanent and serious scarring.
Causes of Acne
- All forms of acne have their origin in wrong feeding habits, such as irregular hours of eating, improper food, excess of starches, sugar and fatty foods.
- Chronic constipation is another major cause of acne. If the bowels do not move properly, waste matter is not eliminated as quickly as it should be and the bloodstream becomes surcharged with toxic matter. The extra efforts of the skin to eliminate excess waste result in acne and other forms of skin disease.

My daughter has a sever case of acne usually on her forehead. Well one day her science teacher told her to take an egg seperate the yolk from the egg white and use the yolk a few times a week and this has actually helped her would help more im sure if she continued to do it on a regular basis but shes young..This home remedy for acne is also recommended by many users for acne cure- Brenda
To start off this is what you will need-
1.)St.Ives Swiss Formula Apricot Scrub (blemish & blackhead control) or any apricot scrub.
2.) Any type of rubbing alcohol.
3.) OIL-FREE moisteriser. I use Neutrogena but any oil free moisteriser.
4.) Toothpaste. I use Mentadent Anticavity Fluoride Toothpaste, but any will do.
5.) a tube of Clearasil vanishing cream.
Wash your face with the Apricot scrub, making sure you REALLY scrub the affected area. Wash it off with warm/hot water and pat your face dry with a towel. Pop any white heads you have and then apply rubbing alcohol to the affected area. DO NOT apply to your whole face it will dry it out. Then after the rubbing alcohol drys apply toothpaste to ONLY your acne. Let it sit until it drys. wash it off, using the apricot scrub. After apply the clearasil to your acne and let it sit. LAST ! apply the Moisteriser to make sure your face doesnt dry out.
Do this twice a day ( morning and night) and you will see an improvement. My acne started clearing up the next day. You can find all the products at cvs or a pharmacy near you. It works much better than 250 dollar tubes of medicine that dont even work !
try it
Im 15,
Both of parents have or had acne during teenage years.
I wash my face with proavtice, eat about 3 different veggies and 5 different fruit.
I avoid fast food restaurants..It made me feel better in the inside but my skin was still ugly..
My aunt ((nutritionist))
told me to take 2-3 cubes of aloe (plant)
for morning and night.
(better tasting with lemon or orange))
It made my face softer and less red, but my scars are still there.
for a week and half or so I took aloe ((the slimie stuff))
and tea (take out powder on to a plate)
and mixed it together, and used a SOFT BRISTLE ELECTRICE TOOTH BRUSH and gently scrubbed my face in a circular motion for 2 and a half minute.
put the aloe and tea mix on you face first.
it hurts alittle, but DONT PRESS ON YOUR FACE use 30 spf sunscreen,
*the treatment listed above (honey and cinamon) has worked amazingly for me... if u leave it on over night on the blemish areas....u zits will disapeer in up to 3 days!!
it works so well.
then i take some poop and mix it with mud
im not kidding its amazing.
results over night !!!
1. take the lime and put salt on it and rub your face with it. Its like removing dirt and dead cells.
2. Then take the acohol and apply it to your face to dry up the bumps.
3. then take the toothpaste and apply it, let it dry. Wash off with warm water You will feel the cool air . than you can apply a light moisterizer but something that is not oily.
4. Do it twice a day, you will see a differences .
And also makes blemishes less visable.. . . . .
I'm 15 and had acne since i was 12, but about 7 months ago i started putting things on my face that i thought would work to remove acne (most of it didn't), then i got clear fingernail polish and rubbed it on all of my pimples.i did that for about a week and it did a great job, it dries out your pimples but not your skin. Then i took it a couple steps further, i shut my sink, boiled about 2 gallons of water then poured into sink and stand over the sinkwith a towell over your head. The steam opens your pores. So after that you get alcahol, apply to a cottonball, then apply to your face...
it might seem like alot to do
but this works way better than ne medicine and its practically free except for the alcahol and cotton balls
WHAT DO I DO!!!
I went to my doctor, who prescribed me a roll on liquid for acne on my face and back, it worked for a week, but then it stopped working :(
I drink tonnes of water and have a healthy diet.
I am considering surgery, please help!!!!
i have tryed so many things but (non worked)
then i started to use lemon and sugar mixed and washed my face with it every morning and now im spot free
it really does work. well 4 me anyway
mwahh x
any suggestions?
and be on your way trust me you will see a difference
2 to 3 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1 cup boiling water
How to use:-
Steep basil leaves in water for 10 to 20 minutes. cool. strain. Apply to face with a cotton ball.
i have the solutin for you.
i have used neutrogina TISSUES they have orange dots and you can find them at Walmart. they i continued for about a week or 2 with Neutrogina Cream (they can be found at walmart and they are bright orange) Then i have ordered Proactiv and now i am useing Proactive and ONLY practive and MOST of my pimples have lowered and gone away and i assume that if i continue it will go away. But i also think that after all my pimples have gone away you shood continue the treetment with Neutrogena so that it doesnt appear again. u shood really try it u have got NOTHING to lose !!
I strongly recommend toothpaste, but only on the pimples.[very drying]
I feel your pain. I am on differin 0.3% [topical] and orally take tetracycline[antibiotic] with little relief. The best thing that's worked for me is toothpaste. I also have less zits when I'm not stressed.
girls: period time is almost an guarantee for a break-out for many of us. Acne gets worse then due to fluctuating hormones. Sometimes birth control helps, but it's also been known to make acne worse.[individual results vary]
hope this was helpful. Just remember that many people don't notice our acne as much as we think they do and to keep your head up when becoming discouraged with failing treatments.
anyone can tell me what remedy should i use to clear the pimples and blackheads away?
pls!!
take vitamins
eat lots of apples
be a vegetarian, i have been a veg. for over a decade, and my acne is very mild, and it went away completely when i eliminated dairy. animal products are toxic to your body and revolting. go to peta.com if you want to know the truth about what you're eating.
1)find a cleanser works for you (make sure its NOT for acne treatment)
2) And the what every percent of benzoyl peroxide(2.5 % 5% 10%)
3) Last of all a moisterizer (OIL-FREE!!!!) and that wont clogg up your pores.
use it in the order given for step 2 only apply to effected areas or the ones that "look" effected. Mornig an Night. itll take usually about a week but u have to use it everyday to keep ur skin lookin good. (COMPLICATED BUT IT WORKS)
Anyway, best of luck for others out there. Don't let your acne ruin your day
