Sunscreen is about the worst thing you can apply to your skin if you are acne prone. Get off harsh creams and lotions then you won't need a sunscreen. Dangerous advice. Not wearing sunscreen puts on...

There is no scam about it. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't. It is likely it will not work for so many reasons, but that doesn't mean to say it definitely won't work.

Too many people give up on salicylic acid because they don't use good products. For starters, all store bought products containing SA, be it cleansers, creams, moisturizers or gels, are garbage. They ...

Sorry nobody got back to you. BP will usually not reduce whiteheads. More often than not, BP causes whiteheads. You're probably not purging but making the problem worse. Try a high quality daily mild...

Moisturizers and acne simply do not mix. Fortunately if you stop punishing your skin with harsh so-called "acne treatments" such as BP, you won't need a moisturizer.

Cut back on the BP (some more) and apply a heavy-duty moisturizer! Also, use sunscreen! That is just adding fuel to the fire. > >so i've been on the regimen for 2 month now and ive been doing...

Hey guys so I've been on the regimen for almost 5 months now and my neck started becoming irritated ,red , dry and itchy ! So I stopped putting the stuff around my neck , I've stopped putting stuff on...

Benzoyl Peroxide makes whiteheads worse. BP at best is only really much use for people with tiny non-inflamed spots, not acne. A daily 2% high quality low PH salicylic acid peel is much better for acn...

Sunscreen is about the worst thing you can apply to your skin if you are acne prone. Get off harsh creams and lotions then you won't need a sunscreen.

Slathering on ridiculous amounts of Benzoyl Peroxide simply isn't the answer for treating acne for the majority of people. It will help some people, sure, however there is no way one can know if it wi...

It's BP that is drying your skin. Gradually taper BP over 5 weeks and quit. Deal with the acne at the root.

My parents think I am "letting" it ruin my life, I have allowed this to happen. That is true, but it's so, so hard, and I have no one who understands. I can't just roll out of bed and go, face the day...

BP only really kills p acnes and it doesn't even kill it all. P acnes is actually normal bacteria that everyone has (yes, even everyone without visible acne) so it is debatable whether even trying to ...

The reason why the regimen doesn't work for many is because not all acne is caused simply by bacteria and sebum. For example, if you're stressed or suffer anxiety, you are increasingly likely to suffe...

Oil cleansing methods are just crazy.. Please people, THINK. This can not and will not work for acne. Try the "Hot cloth water scrub" and "sandpaper" methods.

Sandpaper on the skin might sound scary, but it's actually very effective. Remember, we're talking fine grade wet and dry sandpaper that has softened for a few minutes in warm water. It's normally use...

Question to Purplesky: Exactly how hot does the water have to be when you say hot? My body can tolerate very hot temperatures cause I like a hot shower, but my face has a very low tolerance to water t...

Also, please don't use the sandpaper method if you have active acne. Use the hot water cloth method until you no longer have active acne then use the sandpaper (whilst also keeping up the hot water cl...

sandpaper! are you serious???? Yes, sandpaper. 1600 grit wet dry. Tear a bit off into a bucket of warm water and leave it for a couple of minutes. You can then scrub your skin using firm circular m...

In the majority of cases, sulfur soap, like any topical treatment does not work to clear acne. It may be useful if you suffer the occasional minor blemish. Please see my post "Scrub That Acne Away!" i...

Change your methods. The face washes, the toners and the fish oil won't do anything for acne i'm afraid. Please see my post "Scrub that acne away!" Until people realize that the majority of people can...

You've probably tried everything to get rid of your acne: Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic acid, retinoids, teatree oil, TCA, eating clean, cutting out all sugar, alcohol and dairy, drinking 5L of water a ...
