Acne and Acne Scars Treatment
by Izzy
(London, UK)
I suffered from acne for years. I tried everything I could think of and in the process spent huge amounts of money on products which either didn’t work, or products that worked initially but the results didn’t last.
A friend of mine suggested I try Top Shirley Cream. She had used it and it had worked for her. I used it not really having a lot of faith in it, as it didn’t cost me much and the packaging wasn’t great! I used it for two weeks and my face cleared up. After four weeks, all my spots were gone and I wasn’t getting any new ones. I did get the odd one here and there, but this cream cleared my skin up and faded my acne scars! I would highly recommend it to people who suffer from acne.
Antiseptic Healing Cream for Acne - Sudocrem
by Molly
(Hastings)
This product works so well for me. I had very bad acne spots but just after using Sudocrem there are none left and I am feeling so much more confident. It does help with the acne scaring as well. So try just a little of this antiseptic healing cream after washing your face but do not smother your face in it because that will make the acne skin problem worse. Give it a try. There is no harm in trying good old fashion Sudocrem that was developed over 70 years ago.
Editor's note - Sudocrem is primarily used for diaper rash or nappy rash. However, because of its antiseptic properties this cream can effectively be used for other skin conditions such as cuts, scrapes, minor burns, sunburns, and in Molly's case acne. As with any acne or other skin product, it is probably best to test a small area of the skin first to see how your own skin reacts to the product. If you have any concerns, then it is always advisable to consult with a physician before using any new product on your skin.

Vitale Green Skincare for Acne
by Amber
(Texas)
The best acne treatment ever is a product called Green Skincare by Vitale Skin.
From what I understand it is the only wheatgrass line out on the market that helps with acne/oily skin.
This 3 step gentle acne line is the only product that has helped my skin. I have tried everything from Proactiv to things the dermatologist has given me and nothing worked like this line. Within a few days, my acne was already starting to clear! My redness went away too! It has been years since I have been able to touch my face because it hurt to touch it and now I am able to feel my face without any pain. It is very gentle and I love the scrub, it smells heavenly.
If you have problematic skin try this line!
Androcur Acne Treatment
by Natasha
(UK)
I have suffered from acne for 10 years and since grade three. I have to say that I have tried everything to get rid of the acne skin problem, even Accutane. I started researching my own situation. I realized that I was hairier than I wanted to be and found out that it is hirsutism or just simply too much of the male hormones in my female body. My cure is Androcur - Cyproterone Acetate 50. It worked for me. Do some research and find what will work for you. We have the resources to find anything on the internet. Note that you should follow-up your findings with a visit to a physician in order to get a proper diagnosis and prescription of any medication that is required.
Cure Acne with Exfoliation and Proper Cleansing
by Frank
(Canada)
As a teen, I had moderate acne. As an adult, the acne subsided somewhat but I was still getting some daily pimples. I never really thought about a proper facial cleansing routine. I basically used bar soap to wash my face – once in the morning and before bedtime. I thought that was enough.
I finally decided to try a different face cleansing routine. In the morning after shaving, I still would use Dial bar soap to cleanse my face. I avoided using hot water and instead used lukewarm water to rinse the skin. In the evening, I started using Olay Clarify and Cleanse self-foaming discs. These disc pads have a gentle exfoliating side and a smooth side. The exfoliating action combined with the cleansing action of this product has made a huge difference. It is now rare that I develop facial pimples or acne.
So prior to going to bed, I use one of these Olay pads, the exfoliating side with gentle pressure only and not hard scrubbing. I spend a good one and a half to two minutes cleaning the skin. I then rinse off the cleanser with lukewarm to cool water and then pat dry the skin.
Another acne preventing tip is to avoid touching the face during the day. I used to rub the forehead in times of stress and acne would appear at the contact areas of the skin. Not rubbing the face had also made a huge difference with my adult acne problem.
I have not tried other cleansers because the Olay product is working fine at the moment.
