Question by ashley han: What is the best skin care facial product for severe acne?
Im am a teenager with severe acne/blackheads and oily skin type. For daily use, I wash my face with a light foam cleanser but it isnt doing much help for my acne. (I also use witch hazel toner) I have heard from many people that nutregena and proactive work realy well. But I have also heard that proactive has alot of chemicals in it that can OVER dry your skin. I usually wear makeup to school to hide my hideous face full of acnes. If any of you out there has had this experience and/or know a few things about treating acne, PLEAAAASE give me suggestions and any skin care products you recomend. Thank you so much and all your help is appreciated!

pro active is what saved my life…. it can dry out your skin but it depends on the person. if it drys out your skin use another moisturizer… on top of the one they provide… it did and it worked wonders.
Give your answer to this question below!
I used the Clinique acne stuff. I had severe acne and tried everything you can imagine, only the clinique soap, lotion and astringent helped. You might want to give it a try. It worked for me and the soap kit last forever.
the best product that you should use is the very first product u use when u are a kid. Me, my very first product i use is Dove and i still use it today and i think it will be forever.. So you think of the very first product that u use on your skin (not use facial cleansers because have u ever use it when u are a kid.no right.) because your skin/face get used to it and when you change it from other skincare products it became sensitive.
After washing your face, put some moisturizer or antibacterial topical cream. Over the counter products can also be used because the one prescripted by dermatologists are all the same. It differs only on the name of the brand.
After putting on moisturizer, apply some face powder. the one that is mild or baby powder, it should not have any glitters or color, the pure white, to avoid oily face.Then during your break time (in school or after lunch at home) wash your face only with water and apply again some face powder. there’s no need to put moisturizer or creams(only night and morning is enough) At night, do not apply face powder for your face to rest and breath.
Remember to drink lots and lots of water. You may heard that you should not eat food high in cholesterol, sweets, and other specific foods but are you letting yourself to suffer eating your favorite. You can still eat those but always remember to drink lots and lots of water to flush all unnecessary’s and toxins that can contribute to acne.
Don’t ever touch your skin with your hands. Even though it’s itchy. That’s the only sacrifice you should do to prevent acne so why not follow it.
There’s no need for you to go to dermatologist or facial salon. It’s so expensive and it will not only hurt your pocket but yourself. Imagine how they force the acne out on your face and will irritate your skin. They can clear your skin from acne but they can not bring back your original smooth face.
Don’t apply make up. Only powder is good. you will experience aging in a short while if you apply make up.
Lastly, observe your diet and personal hygiene
Hope it helps you.
