proactiv bro

proactiv made my face a billion times worse, and this has happened to other people i know...i also have one friend who it works great for

basically just borrow it from someone else who has it or something because for a lot of people it is WAY TOO HARSH and you shouldn't waste your money on it until you try it

I use Bioré's Nose Trips:

Be sure to read the instructions, and after you're finished use some balm to close the pores and prevent further white heads.

Use neutral sope to clean your face, avoid milk soaps. When possible exfoliate your face.

Proactive works like shit. As do 99% of over-the-counter medications. Go see a dermatologist.

I went to a dermatologist for my acne, and she prescribed me Retin-A Micro. Pimples and blackheads= gone. It may be expensive to set an appointment and for the medication, but you'll end up spending way more on over-the-counter stuff in the long run.

Retin-A worked for shit for me. I read that your suppose to break out a lot for like the first 5 weeks or something, then you'll be good to go after that, but that never happened, it kept getting worse. That was a long time ago though.

Make sure your getting enough Vitamins and Minerals, in either food or tablet form (food form is better). Also you could take some sulfur tablets.

And drink plenty of water everyday.

I had pretty bad acne when I was a teenager and the only thing that worked was not fussing with my face all the time. I started washing my body and my face with plain antibacterial bar soap and have never had acne problems since.

Another thing that worked was Accutane but it is an extremely dangerous and expensive medication and I got very sick when I was taking it.

No trouble telling your Newfie aha!

But in all seriousness, Cut out sugary foods as much as possible. I stopped drinking pepsi and Coke (now drink 7up,sprite,ginger ale,root beer) and I cut down on chocolate to hardly ever. Not only is it helping me shed pounds but It made my face a lot better, Now I use a facial mask cleanser rather than proactiv or those crazy psycho meds accutane.

Well I guess this is sort of on topic.

What do you guys do for eczema? I have this bastard itch on my neck + lower stomach. The lower stomach I took care of by not wearing a belt (I'm allergic to nickel apparently) -- instead I use shoe strings (pretty ghetto, huh.) As for my neck, it pops out whenever I'm stressed for long periods of time, or if I sleep on my stomach. I used to use cortaid to stop the itch but it doesn't work. Recommendations?

Proactiv actually worked for me, you just need to avoid their "repairing lotion" crap because it seems to do the opposite of moisturizing your skin. You're already applying two topical treatments with a higher than average (and by higher than average I mean compared to most treatments over the counter/ on the shelf) benzoyl peroxide and the lotion still contains more of it. If you can find a lotion that actually does moisturize your skin with no real risk to add to the drying out of your skin, it works like cake. Proactiv is way too expensive for people to be using it and getting worse results if not any to begin with.

This isn't exactly a skin problem, but does anyone here suffer from dark circles under their eyes? I have them, and I play on the computer on average 10 hours a day. Could this be the cause?

My boss had this she just got plastic surgery to remove them. She's weird though because she is one of those chicks that always thinks they are fat and she spent $5000 (I believe) on plastic surgery to make her nose a little smaller (she's not even jewe).

Those dark circles come only after you've posted your 666th on GW.

if you use an oil free moisturizing lotion on top of the repairing lotion it works fine.

yeah it is, also it could be a blood pressure problem. Another reason could be the genes you got from your family(the women on my father's bloodline also have this shit so I got it from them) You can't do much about it, it's really hard to get rid of it(surgery). Personal experience: put some grated potatoes under your eyes, it helps a little

edit:

oh yeah, i forgot. I use this shit and my skin is like babies' butts.

Acne is solved by one solution. Piss. Yes I said it Piss. Piss on your face and any other affected area. Not only is it delightful and fun, but its sterile and will clear you right up!

Next, on the back of my lower arms I have pimples and some blackheads(actually they might be whiteheads). Same thing, how to get rid of them?!? Thanks for any helpful advice.

Lower arms? Sounds impressive.

Anyway, I have spot things on the back of my arms because I don't eat enough (or any) fish. I should take Omega-3 but, you know.
