cleanse...tone...mosturise...just find a regime that you like for oily skin and stick with it...the key...as with any beauty regime...is to not be sporadic.

I like 'Yves Roche' for pore regulation as well as 'be fine'...you can get that at your local cvs.

also...do a mask treatment every other/3rd day...and eat well...

battle the oil!

drink 2 litres of water a day, exfoliate twice a day and wash your face with black mud from the dead sea face soap. i had acne from the age of about 11 through to 22 and tried everything, was just about to give up all hope when a clinique specialist recommended exfoliating then some random guy stopped me in the street and told me that black mud soap would help my acne (very embarrassing but it worked so i'll forgive him!)

really ? i should give it a try, i've heard of that mud more than once.

yeah you can buy it online its not expensive just google it. it really does work brilliantly. i recommend it to absolutely everyone who asks how i cleared my acne up so quickly. my skin feels soooooo clean and smooth after i've used it.

Really? Where do you get black mud? What brand do you get?

jakk-attakk · 02-13-2008, 01:53 PM

i buy it from here

Dead Sea Black Mud Soap, Finders International, UK

i cant rave about this stuff enough. i had pretty serious acne and pretty gross skin but after roughly a week of the water/exfoliate/soap routine i was getting compliments all over the place about how clear my skin was and now i would never use anything else. i hope it works for you guys as well as it worked for me!

benzoyle peroxide, salicylic acid, and sulfer are your friends

jakk-attakk · 02-13-2008, 06:59 PM

benzoyl peroxide cleared up my skin once (but it took a bit of getting used to! first time i used it i felt like someone had taken a blow-torch to my face!) but it didnt last, its like i built up some kind of immunity to it and it stopped working lol.

My tips:

cleansing: when using make-up, first massage olive oil onto your skin as long as you wish. Then using an alcohol-free cleanser (and maybe a silicone-free like Korres) wash off the olive oil.

toner: nothing too drying, maybe one for sensitive skin. Witch-hazel floral water is a good toner.

day moisturizer: silicone-free moisturizer with SPF

night time moisturizer: I use every other night differin (from my doctor) and every other night camelia seed oil. If there is pimples, use little tea tree oil on them.

scrub: dermalogica's microfoliant and paula's BHA gel

specials: Sauna, protecting skin from the sun and Montagne Jeunesse skin treat masks are very good for acne skin. Lumene's masks are good too. Remember to drink 1.5 litres of water and maybe some of it in green tea or white tea

The greatest success I had with getting rid of acne was to stop using harsh skin products and makeup. I started using a vitamin C based skincare line called Nature's Dermatology and mineral makeup. No harsh chemicals, lots of water and no soda. That really worked for me...less is definitely more.

jakk-attakk · 02-21-2008, 08:30 PM

i agree you should try to not wear makeup as much as possible cos the chemicals in it wont help but i wouldnt wear mineral makeup back then cos i needed pretty heavy coverage. (which obviously blocked pores and didnt help my cause any!)

Nice thread - although, can't say I read all 331 replies

I use benza-clin, a perscription my doctor recommended.. it did wonders for my face. I'm African American, and it ligthened dark brown spots left from former pimples... It was my best friend! My face was clearere than ever....

Now, it's been 2years and it seemed to have lost its umph... I ordered Proactiv, about 1week ago- hopefully I'll be happy with the results.

micheldk · 03-14-2008, 01:42 AM

Just a heads up: I mamaged to get rid of my acne with this acne treatment guide!
