Do any of you guys have anything you use for the treatment of facial acne? Anything that works besides face wash?
java actually will dry out any acne that you have and help get rid of it. it opens my pores and exfoliates like none other. i LOVE the stuff, but i have very sensitive skin. i only use it on the problem areas, not on the whole face because it dries out my skin. i also use the generic proactiv called AcneFree. this combination works quite well for me anyways. hey dsade, what is this variation of java that you speak of?Java will clog your pores. Use Murad or Proative twice a day. Shower frequently! Minocyclin works pretty good if prescribed by a doc, but it will take months to see any effect. If your like myself... anything that raises your test will make you break out.
ok...snake pills work as well though..how much does proactive cost?...and is its results permenant?..im just wondering... im not very familiarIn lieu of snake pills
I'd say that proactive actually does a fairly good job.. I used it when I was younger (and had moderate acne) with great results.
Now I actually just use neutrogena oil free face wash and it really stops 99% of my problems. On occasion my wife will have me use this charcoal mask stuff from Origins Men which I guess closes your pores or something.
I feel totally gay right now...
I dont even remember - its a big informercial thing but it really did work for me. My wife used it with success too as she had bad acne during puberty.ok...snake pills work as well though..how much does proactive cost?...and is its results permenant?..im just wondering... im not very familiar
oh ok.. cool cool.I dont even remember - its a big informercial thing but it really did work for me. My wife used it with success too as she had bad acne during puberty.
The results are permanent if you really focus on good facial hygene i.e. wash it a lot with oil free cleansers, don't use aftershave with oil it in, use oil free sunblock, etc
Also, provided the OP isnt 13 with raging hormones, a clean diet is also key.
agreed. 2.5% sustained release benzoyl peroxide is one of the stages of the generic proactiv cream. works great. anything higher will irritate the skin and make it worse. all those oxypads and other facial cleansing pads have at least 10% and higher. as for the back, java lather is superb. exfoliates as well as dries out the pimples, while not drying out the skin too much. also, shower in the morning, after workouts, and at nights before bed. you should be doing this anyway, but just in case you're not...I use 2.5% benzoyl peroxide cream. Wash your face, apply cream.
Start on the low side since it can dry out your skin, assess tolerance and increase dose till you apply (if necessary of course) one finger lenght.
Try it out, pretty cheap and it works wonders.
Use 2.5% since it is less harsh on your face, and clinically proven to work the same as 5% or 10%.
Good luck
Great advice! When i apply in the morning after shower sometimes I use a moisturizer if my skin is too dry. At night I just leave it as is.if your skin gets too dry, get some cetaphil. it's a non-greasy moisturizer
Ya Know, I was just going to pose this question to you dsade,A java lather variation that has kept my wife and I, both prone to breakouts, pretty much clear.
almost ready for release.Ya Know, I was just going to pose this question to you dsade,
you would have a heck of a market if you could add an acne ingredient to the java lather......I'd be all over it.
:woohoo: :dance: any chance of you needing someone to log it?almost ready for release.
Excellent, Im looking forward to it.almost ready for release.
