Any Advise As the Latest Products That Actually Work! Posted: 12-07-04 14:16pm
Hi everyone.
I'm a new member. I'm really fustrated of
all the comercials of acne
cure, that really do not work and I really
do not want to keep waisting
money.
I would like to hear from people who
actually tried the product and
see if there is any results. It just
might be me that nothing works but
i never give up and I know there has to be
something out there that
will work on my acne problem.
I'm in my 30's always had acne problem,
but lately it's been like i'm
back at my teenage years. I have tried
and currently using: minocycline,
topical clindamycin solution, 2.5% benzoyl
peroxide, 3.5% benzoyl peroxide, 10% b.P.
Neutrogena acne patch that has 2% b.P.
And
my daily cleanser that has 2% glycolic and
2% salcylic acids
plus a glysal toner. I also tried
clearactive solution.
I gradually started them firts with 2% and
then went all the way up to
10% all directed by my doctor. I also had
photodynamic therapy..They
put a solution on my face and put me under
a lamp for 5 minutes and
that did not work. I also had one week of
lazer treatment and
injections to regulate my hormones.
My doctor say's I should wait till I reach
menapause...I want to enjoy
my age now. Not when I get older.
Anyone has any suggestions?
Thanks
alex

I always thought the sun helped. (course
its also bad for your skin, but what do ya
do?). My mom used to take tetracycline
pills and they worked great. I use mary
kay products, but I have never had that
bad of acne. Good luck

another endorsement for tetrycycline. I
used it back in high school and it all but
cured my acne for a few years.
Tragically, the acne came back a few
months ago and i'm once again back on the
prescription drug, when proactive didn't
seem to work too well.
In my experience, a lot of the tv
infomercials that peddle their products as
the next best thing, usually have mild to
little efficacy, if that. Sounds like
you have used everything available out
there with no sucess, so i'd suggest going
to see a dermatologist and get on
tetrycycline to see how it works. Keep
optimistic, there usually is something
that will work for you.
