I was so very blessed growing up I never had many pimples or black heads or Acne at all. Well now that I am 24 with two kids, I look like I am a 15 year old going through Puberty!!!! I know one of the reasons is a side effect to the IUD. But I have the IUD out now because I was having some issues with it. ANYWAY, my question is, I have never really had to deal with Acne and it is driving me nuts. I have tried a few face washes (pro active, oil of Olay, clearacell ) and things but none of it seems to work. It dries out my skin and just not what I need. I want my face back. Does anyone have any ideas? I really appreciate your help.

What can I do next?

Hello A...I am 30 yrs old and too have this problem. It kind of started at around 26 27 and I was like OMG!!! I then tried proactiv..which is a joke 2 me. Then I decided 2 go see a dermatologist and then backed out. Then went and bought the simple clearsi l packet. It cost around 17 bucks and its jus wash moisturizer and a cream. I was like oh well I will jus try it and the funny thing is it has worked so well. I think my acne was caused by my tubal and hormones along with stress. Recommended never get a tubal!!! But try it out and see if it works for u..R.

You may not be dealing with acne, but be having allergic reactions. I've been going thru the same thing - nuts, onions, garlic, bell peppers (any peppers really), chocolate, coffee - yeah, all the good stuff. Check out this website and see if any of these symptoms applies to you, its really helped for me. :}

If they dont, you could instead be suffering from a gluten or nickle sensitivity. I also noticed that eating a lot of fast foods increased my problems - there's a lot of additives in them that make your body more sensitive to histamine reactions. Since changing over to a "whole foods" (in its original form, not man-made or processed) diet, I have noticed a BIG change in my body's ability to control these breakouts, plus my general health has been a lot better too. I hope this helps.

I have very sensitive skin and have found HYDRODERM to be fantastic! My skin is now perfectly smooth, soft & beautiful. I use the collagen (anti-aging liquid) twice a day - one very tiny drop does your whole face. You might break out a little when first using as it cleans up the oil, but that stage should be brief, It is pricey, (@90) but a bottle should last you a couple of months. Good luck.

Hi A.,
I have never really had a big problem with acne and I have never really been big on using a bunch of facial scrubs. But, what works for me is a warm to hot towel. I should say as hot as you can stand it. Just place it on your bumps for a few minutes nd that brings the oil up to the surface where you can easily pop and in just a day or so it goes away. I have had my bumps go away as early as over night.I hope this helps and you get rid of those bumps.

Have you tried Mary Kay? They have 2 different cleansers, one for oily skin and one for Dry skin. They are a powerhouse of skin care. I have used it for years and I now sale it. I would be more than happy to do a complementary facial for your. I also use the Microdermabrasion set 2-3 times a week. It works just as good as going to a doctors office and having it done at a fraction of the cost ($55 for the set I have had my set for 4 months now and still have half of it).
I will tell you though with Mary Kay it works over time and you must stay on your cleansing schedule. You can miss a day here and there but if you do that to much it will not be affective.
The system is easy I leave my cleanser in the shower and moisturize when I get out.
With Mary Kay it is about getting your skin back to where it needs to be. We do have some products just for acne. I have never had acne so I do not know exactly how effective they are but I would assume they work just as well as the rest of the skin care line. Plus, with Mary Kay the Timewise is made to help fight aging and targets lines and wrinkles.
Again it is not a quick fix but with in a week to 2 weeks I am sure you will see a difference. Plus there is a money back guarantee if you do not like it I will buy it back. I think the cleansers combined with the new mineral powders are really changing people’s skin for the better. We have mineral powder, eye shadow and check color.
