Hey people,

For a while now, its been getting to me, like i dont have it that bad, But i still HATE acne, like every one does ! Like i look at some poor kids, and then think mines not even that bad, But im just honestly sick of getting acne, i know its aging etc, part of life.

I havent really tried anything to help it im to scared, i only have it lightly, But they wont go away, its like my chin and checks, but yeah every time i look at myself, its getting worse, it makes me upset, i really want to reduce it.

I have tried oxy 10, i would say it works, on the areas, but i broke out more, but helped the areas i applied on, but it drys out your face, and peals, got to stop using it, I have Dove wash, Oily skin, and face wash, like nothing really help.

I need some serious advice, im over acne, its really starting to get to me, its been months its time to try help it thanks.

Hang in there! Do you have any idea what could be causing you acne? Hormones/infection/diet/ stress/allergies?If you can figure out the cause, you can try to treat it internally.

Balancing your skin's PH is also key. If you are using a lot of harsh products on your skin, your PH is probably too acidic. You should find a cleanser that says "restoring" or "balancing" (PH 5.5). Dove has sodium laureth sulfate in it, which can be irritating to the skin. Find a gentle cleanser and moisturizer (without harsh chemicals like SLS) if you think your skin is reacting to some of the products you use.

Oxy 10 i believe has salicylic acid which can cause acne as well as treat existing acne. I would try some BP otc products to treat this instead. Both together will cause much drying and increase in breakouts/oily skin.

See if that helps.
