    Smiley Best Acne Cure EVAR

    I have adult acne.

    There. I said it. I'm nearly 24, and every week without fail my face breaks out. Even worse, I have what dermatologists call "hormonal acne." (If you have em too then you know there is practically NOTHING to prevent chin pimples cropping up during PMS.)

    The last two months I've experimented with toner I bought from Bed Bath and Bodyworks: Dr. Galen Herbal Skin Tonic. It's in a blue bottle.

    I've had maybe two zits the last 8 weeks. That's a fucking record, never, ever has that happened before.

    Go forth and buy it. Use it 2-3 times a day. I don't use any of my other face washes or exfoliating stuff or face masks or egg-yogurt-honey treatments, etc. etc.

    Just wanted you all to get your hands on stuff that works. <3

    Thanks for the info. The only thing that ever helped me was tea tree oil put right on my skin. Finally, FINALLY, it has gone away.

    Oh yeah, I've tried tea tree oil. I tried all sorts of natural remedies; baking soda paste left on overnight, tea tree oil, witch hazel, aspirin, you name it.

    Not to mention all the crap from the pharmacy or from the face wash aisle in the store.
    Most of it just makes my skin peel; it doesn't actually stop the pimple from forming inside the pore.

    It dries a lot of people's skin out (high % of BP) and lightens tanned faces significantly.

    Its actually one of the acne treatments I've heard the worst things about (probably because it's so highly praised).

    Have you considered giving Olay Acne Cream a chance? It is known to work wonders on few people.

    ProActiv worked wonders for me when I was a teenager, but it doesn't work for me as an adult. It dried my skin out beyond belief, and it didn't get rid of any of the acne...so instead, I had a lot of really flaky pimples.

    I used to have major problems with adult acne, but I finally realized that all the oil-free products and the harsh cleansers are counterproductive. Your skin is SUPPOSED to have some oils on it, and when you use a harsh product that strips the skin of those oils, the body overproduces them, and that will clog your pores and cause more acne. I use mostly Caudalie products for moisturizing, and I also use Cane+Austin Acne Treatment Pads with 5% glycolic and 2% salicylic acid. I haven't had a breakout in nearly a year.
