   HoLaLoLa, (love that name!)

   Sorry to break this to you but acne treatment products are a scam. They're set up to mask acne, but never prevent it. This keeps people buying over and over again. It's a pretty good scam too because anyone with acne knows that's it's not something you can just ignore! It's really embarrassing and sometimes painful.

   There's a lot about acne most of us don't know. It's actually not like some rash or something that can be washed away or treated with cream. The more you know, the easier it is to handle things I say.

   Here's a link I highly recommend to anyone dealing with acne. It'll change your life…

   Probably not the first answer you want to hear, but I would recommend going to the dermatologist. Acne is bacteria and there may be underlying issues that they need to prescribe medication for it.

   That being said, I've actually had positive results from ProActive. I hate their infomercials and a lot of things about their company. However, since it's over the counter and relatively easy to use I've been happy with it.

   My ownly words of wisdom is that anything with peroxide in it will bleach your clothing and/or your sheets. Good luck!

   Wash your face somewhat gently with baking soda and water. The baking soda scrubs off the dead skin cells gently. Then take vinegar (preferably apple cider vinegar) and mix it with water. Then put on your affected area. Should clear right up! Drink lots of water to flush the toxins out of your system.

   Do not use toothpaste or Listerine!!!

   In order to effectively treat acne, you need to be aware of what factors can cause or aggravate your condition. You’ve no doubt heard the common myths that eating chocolate or oily foods causes acne.

   While a healthy diet is recommended, there is no one specific food that causes acne outbreaks. Learning to recognize the facts from the myths is essential when dealing with acne.

   Some of the factors that affect acne include age, diet, stress, skincare, vitamin deficiency and sunlight exposure. Here are a few tips to get you started.

   Tip #1: Vitamin Supplements
   Studies have shown that many acne cases may be related to a vitamin deficiency in the body. If you’ve tried improving your eating habits but still experience frequent outbreaks, you may wish to try adding vitamin supplements to your diet. Vitamins A, B5, C, D, and E are all beneficial in promoting healthy skin

   Tip #2: Diet
   While it’s true that indulging in chocolate, sweets, or oily foods does not cause acne, a well-balanced healthy diet can be beneficial in treating this condition. In order to keep your skin hydrated and looking its best, try to eat several servings of fresh fruits and vegetables each day. A sufficient water intake is also important. In addition to helping your acne, drinking lots of water will improve your overall health.

   Tip #3: Stress
   The relationship between stress and acne has been a hot topic for many years. Although stress may not be the culprit in an initial acne outbreak, unnecessary emotional turmoil can worsen an acne condition or cause frequent reoccurrences. By exercising or practicing some type of relaxation techniques, you can greatly reduce your stress to a more manageable level.

   Tip #4: Proper Skincare
   Many people mistakenly think their acne is the result of poor hygiene. In order to treat the condition, they may resort to an extreme cleaning regimen. Scrubbing or exfoliating your skin will not cure acne.

   In fact, harsh cleaning is more likely to aggravate or cause the acne to spread. A mild cleanser or toner used daily is your best bet. Avoid facial creams and cleansers that contain harsh ingredients, which can irritate or dry out the skin cells. Ask your doctor to recommend an acne cleanser that is appropriate for your type of skin.

   Coping with acne is similar to treating other conditions and illnesses. It’s important to realize in most cases there is no quick fix or miracle drug to cure your problem. Treating acne often involves a variety of methods including medication, dietary changes, proper skin care, and relaxation techniques.

   hi there,
   I have been using aloeride and my skin has improved immensely. It is a natural supplement and will give results in only a matter of weeks. I really wanted to stay clear of all the chemical acne solutions on the market so this was absolutely perfect for me!

   good luck!
