Hi everyone. I am a african american female with the worse acne possible. I have no idea what to do about all of this in my face. I have tried just about everything on the market and I am feeling hopeless now. At present, I am using proactiv solutions to try to clear up my face, and that seems not to be working. I am also using some fade cream by, fashion fare, to try to fade the black marks from my face. I thought that maybe, my face broke up, when my cycle was down, but it seems as though my face stays with bumps, no matter what. If anyone has any suggestion to what can help me get rid of this acne, PLEASE HELP. I am open to all suggestion, because the things that I have been using, apparently have not been help my acne none. And to be honest, this acne is really embarrassing to me. I WANT CLEAR SKIN AT LEAST FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE.
I have been doing some research and I have found that sometimes a person may have acne because, their colon needs to be cleanse. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THAT IS TRUE? Because, I was thinking since I have been trying everything to help clear up my acne, that maybe it might be something internally. Maybe, I need to cleanse my colon, and than maybe the acne, might go away. JUST A THOUGHT.
HELP ME PLEASE

I'm white but I too had a serious acne problem in my teens. Serious acne usually doesn't respond to over the counter treatment. See your doctor and/or a dermatologist. For me he prescribed tetracycline and later I tried Accutane which was a miracle cure for me. You have to get regular blood tests but it is worth it. You didn't mention how old you were but my skin began to improve gradually when I was about 19 or 20.

I can completely relate to you. I'm a 27 year old asian with acne. I started to develop acne when I was in my early 20's. Before that I never had acne. I've reasearched a lot on this and my personal conclusion is that it's "hormonal" and it has to do with your "chemial" make up. What I do that seems to work for the most part is wash my face daily with Proactiv and take my birth control daily. Birth control/hormone pills effect your bodies chemial make up. Our bodies produce more hormones when we cycle that's why we tend to break out right before we have our period. That's why most teenagers male and female tend to break out because their bodies are changing and the chemials/hormones are changing. See your doctor and ask to be switched to another birth control with a low level of hormones. As a last resort I would consult a doctor about Accutane and I only say that as a last resort because there are a lot of risks and side effects. Another suggestion that I don't take but I should is. When you do get a pimple DO NOT pick at it. Let it runs it's course because if you do pick at it before it's mature it WILL turn into this huge red scab/indented/scar on your face. Oh don't over wash your face because that will make your face break out too. If you over wash your face you will completely strip your face of it's nature oils and then it will start to over produce oil. I've made that mistake. I know it's difficult trying to find a balance. But don't worry and stress out about it too much. I'm sure when you do that your body releases some kind of chemical and makes acne that much worse. I've made that mistake too. This might sound silly but I'm starting to believe that drinking a lot of water is good for your skin too. It hidrates your body and skin. I hope my advice helps. Good Luck!

Mary J,
I would like to say I understand you because I have experience the same skin problmes, but I have not found any products (Pro Active) that would work on my skin. However, I would like any information on any products that may help clear my skin (acne) problems, so please feel free to inform me of any helpful information that maybe helpful. :(

:( The product Esoteria (HYDROQUININE 2%) may have damaged my skin, but I am not sure and I do not think it has damaged my skin due to other skin problems other individuals have reported. However, I have used this product for the past 15 years and my face has been fine it is just the "Acne/blemishes." I have also tried using Black Soap, Body Scrub, Pro Active, Coco Butter, an many other products, but have not been able to get the right product. Therefore, I have been experimenting using natural products like honey, Avocado, Lemons, Sugar Strawberries, and other products together and its working. On the other hand I am a vegetarian (Do not drink, smoke, soda, or badmouth) and I am not sure if my body is lacking any vitamins, but I feel healthy. If there are, products that may help please feel free to let me know ASAP @ [email protected]

Has anyone tried Murad? (Murad.com)

I have known a lot of African men and women who uses this Product and all of them had disappointing results, I mean, NO RESULT AT ALL. In some cases, worst.

OK, I'm not an acne survivor, but my husband and my daughter are and here are some things I've learned. It is true that acne can be caused by toxins in the body that are getting out through the skin. A colon cleanse can definitely help. I would be careful of using products like Proactive that simply suppress acne; the toxins will still be in your body and could collect in other internal systems. A healthy diet, good supplements (vitamins), plenty of water are also good ideas. PLEASE know the risks of birth control before you choose this as an option to treat acne! Educate yourself! Some good websites for info on hormones are www.johnleemd.com and www.balancemyhormones.com. And finally, a good botanically-based skincare line is essential in detoxifying your body. I personally think Arbonne is the best and I'd be happy to give you more info if you want to email me at [email protected]. One good thing about having oilier skin is that 20 years from now you'll have lots fewer wrinkles than people with dry skin! :)

First of all you stupid old dumb I did not say that birth control was a form of acne treatment. You need to listen or learn to read. What I did say is that birth control is a hormone that effects your acne. Second of all I am educated, sounds like you need to educate yourself if you think that blowing water up you is an acne treatment. Don't give advice about something you have no experience with.

Wow! I am so sorry! I didn't mean to offend you or to imply that you weren't educated. Looking back at what I wrote, I can see how my statement "educate yourself!" could have been taken to mean "you idiot, get some education!" That's not how I meant it. I simply meant it as "please find out about all the risks of using birth control pills!" My intent was to offer a resource where anyone can learn more about the risks of artificial hormones. And while I haven't personally had serious acne, I have had minor acne problems that were hormonally related and I have had other hormone issues which is how I found out about this info in the first place. So, again, my apologies for any hurt or offense I might have given. It was not intentional. My best wishes to you!

Has anyone tried Murad? (Murad.com)

Yes I have tried Murad. It is a really cleansing product that feels good. The facial wash has salicylic acid as the active ingredient. The moisturizers and facial mask products have sulfur as the primary ingredient. I have used it now for about a year and have noticed that my skin does feel better, but the acne still comes, just not as often. Two, they auto-ship so if you are thinking about this product, use it or it will kind of stack up on you. Hope this helps.

TESTIMONIAL OF THE WEEK

I want to say THANK-YOU! This product is wonderful and does exactly what it says it will do. I must admit, I was very skeptical . I am a medium complexion African American women, who has had acne problems of some sort all of my life, I scar very easily and they are very dark. I have been to several dermatology doctors from my early teens up until about May of this year. I've tired things like Retin-Aproducts and the dreaded hydroquinone. Not one of my doctors had even suggested to me to try a product with kojic acid, not even the Black doctors I had seen. I began using this product at the end of June. It is now the end of July, and I am amazed. First of all , the dark scars on my face have dramatically improved and the condition of my skin is incredible. My skin feels smooth and my acne breakouts have decreased . Another thing I forgot to mention was the price. For a product of this caliber, the price is unbelievable. Skin-So-Fair has definitely made a believer out of me. I have told my niece about this product and she is excited to try it. You guys have a customer for life. Sincerely, S. Lewis Gardena, CA 90249

Hey! Awww thanks so much for the gift offer! Well the serum and the body milk does wonders for my skin. Whichever one of those you want to send is just fine (^-^). Just wanted to thank you sooo much again for the great product! When the M.K. sales lady came up to me and complimented my skin I was totally baffled because I usually have lots of blemishes and huge pores and the skin tone is totally uneven and I have eczema , etc.. I've never had "good" skin... so I was SO surprised! Anyway wow! You are a God-send to be selling this! Being Filipino, white/light skin is absolutely beautiful and treasured (which is funny because in America being tan is supposedly wanted? Haha :D ) and now I'm starting to have lighter skin even if I haven't been using your product that long! Before I was debating between your product and this other product from the Philippines

I also had severe acne. My acne was caused by these little mites that live under you skin, in pores, and such. I tried all sorts of treatments, until finally I tried Xin Fumanling cream. You can read about it more at http://www.demodex.info. Basically these mites lay eggs, a lot like lice do. They stimulate grease production, and cause a whole host of skin problems. In extreme cases, they can cause calcification of your skin. You have to kill the Adults, and then, kill the eggs, as they hatch. So I used this cream, and finally, I got my face clean. It is me again.

Anyhow, go check them out, read the FAQ, it is quite good,
Hope this helps

My best advice is to start with a basic skin regeme and see how it goes. Get hold of some Benyzol Peroxide cream. Start with 2.5% and apply twice a day. After around a week try boosting it up to 5% if you don't see an improvement, then id see a doctor as its obviously getting you down. Ive been on antibiotics for my acne for two years. I was on a drug called 'Erithomycin' for about a year and that cleared up most of my acne which was quite severe. If you've been to the doctor and tried a number of antibiotics and see no improvement and your acne is still getting you down, as in your case it is, try seeing a dermatologist. They can provide stronger drugs that a doctor can't depending on your case.

A good free option to try is toothpaste. It may sound weird, but dab a little on the end of a cotton bud and gently rub on problem areas. Toothpaste acts as a drying agent and can reduce spot size quite significantly. Do be careful just to get it on the spot as it really dries your skin. Make sure you have moisturiser to hand!

I had bad acne when I was 16 and 17. When I was 18 it seemed to clear up but I always had red marks on my face and a very dry skin problem. I went to a dermatologist and he said I had adult acne and it was very mild, but any acne is bad enough. The alternative centre do some straightforward tests and find out why you have acne and give you remedies and diet changes or certain tablets or whatever is right for you, it depends. Anyway it was cleared up within two months. You can check them out on thealternativecentre.co.uk.Also don't use drugs as they usually don't work and make you worse with their side effects. In the mean time you better change your diet to an all alkaline diet with only a bit of acid in. Relax and get some fresh air and contact the alternative centre right away.

Even though I'm trying to be a believe in alternative medicince and super healthy diets, I'm still of the school that serious acne needs serious treatment, sinne all my doctors and derms have said that there is very little correlation between diet and acne. So even though I know you've tried a lot of products, I thought this website might be helpful.

Hey mary j. my name is sierrah and I'm a seventeen year old teen who has suffered from acne ever since the 6th grade. This is my senior year and I cry every single day because I just can't find relief. Im african american and after I get the pimples I start to scar very badly and I now have dark spots all over my face to go along with the pimples. Im very self conscious and sometimes I don't want to go to school because of what's on my face. I would love for you to inform me on information you get with your problem. Thank you

Acutane is the best thing for nulur acne bottom line end of the story.
To get rid of the dark spots caused by acne you can use epicquin or hydroquin. If you are worried about side effects then the oldest remidie is to use your urine. Yeah I no but it works. Leave it on for how ever long as you like and you will see results in about a week.

Hello Mary,

Acne is an internal problem. I would first advise you to drink plenty of water. How much water are you drinking? Water cleanses the impurities from the body. Try drinking at least 6 glasses a day. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables because they aid in the cleansing of the digestion system. You may have to stop eating processed foods such as fast food. Also, stop drinking soda pop too.

Taking a colon cleanse is also a good idea too, because it helps you clean out your colon. There are many kinds that you can take. Health plus is one and you should be able to get it at your local health food store or you can do a search online just type in colon cleanse.

I used to wash my face with baking soda and dudu osan balck soap and then moisturize with shea butter

Hi, i had the worst acne. Not multiple spots but one huge painful pimple. I realized that when i ate peanuts i broke out. I stopped eating them and my skin cleared up. Herpes also can also be a cause. I find that using the zovirax cream on my face makes the headless bumps come to a head and heal. Sound nasty but it works. Cleaning my skin with anything over the counter broke me out cause salicilic acid and peroxides are irritants for severely sensitive skin. I stopped everything and used rubbing alcohol since i have oily skin.

Girl I can definitely relate. I'm black too with the same kind of acne. I tried everything out there. Even baking soda and toothpaste but nothing helped. But then I found my mircale. It's these pills called 7 day acne detox. At first I was spectical because I mean really? A acne product that worked in 7 days or less? Yea right but it had a year warranty on it so I said what the heck I tried everything else so this won't hurt I can always return it if it doesn't work. So I tried it and it worked girl I'm telling you don't be spectical about it just try it I garrantee it works but don't buy it in retail but it from its website 7 Day Acne Detox | #1 Acne Treatment (http://www.7dayacnedetox.com) garrantee it works well good luck hit me up and tell me the results ight:)

Have you tried Ebony Secret? I ordered a bottle myself and I hear a lot of good things about it. It is especially designed for women of color, and I hear it really works well. Go to www.blackbusinessnetwork.com/sheila and click "Online Store" at the bottom of the page. Let me know how it works for you. You can also check out all of the videos for women that have had success with it. Good luck, and let me know how it works for you.

Have u use this product yourself or u just came across this product and what is it called and who makes it. :)when you get to the site where do you go.

Have you tried summat called fulcin? That's what I used and its really good

Yes I understand how you feel COMPLETELY. I have had acne since the 4th grade. Even though everyone I know has gotten used to my acne, I really want to show them how beautiful I am underneath this dreadful acne coated face. PLUS senior pictures are coming up and boy am I PANICKING! My brother and I used proactiv when we were younger but it didn't seem to work. Now that I look back, maybe we weren't using it right, or else we weren't on the correct diet. Whatever it was, I was always curious if proactiv even worked on african americans. Well, I'll just have to find out. This is my last chance.

I'm an African American female just like you. I know EXACTLY what your talking about. I used to cry about my acne. I've tried Proactive, Clearisil, Neutragena, even my dermatologists medication and nothing. My guess about mine was that it was hormonal, but at the time I couldn't do anything. What I do now is I use Biore Unclogging Pore Scrub, then I use Biore Ice Cleaner afterward. It feels amazing and you can literally feel it inside your pores and skin and you feel like your skin is ice cold after, but its amazing. Then after I use Clean and Clear Pursa Gel. Things you might want to do as well is drink lots of water it really does help, eat a few almonds to get a good zinc count into your diet, if you have inflammation I use tamato slices and put them on my face, surprisingly they work. Make sure to clean your system out really good to get out all the toxins. You may want to use sunblock ( one that you can use with acne) so if you have scars they don't worsen. Also for redness I use A+D Zinc Oxide cream which is also diaper rash cream but I used it as a baby and I use it now and it works wonders on inflammed skin. Most importantly relax! Stressing will only make you feel worse and make it look worse. Get all what you feel about it out, and just relax. When I stopped having it affect my whole life, it got better and I felt better. Also get rest and sleep, it can help. Hope this works for you.

If you drink water everyday. No sodas and/or drink with added proceed sugars your face will clear some what. What will cure your acne will be your eating habit.. if you can become a vegetarian with using little to no oils for 90 days and drink water in oz based on your body weight when you dived your body weight in half you acne will clear. Washing your face will speed up the process, by the way no junk food at all and cleanse your colon 1 time every 3 months on this diet with a colon cleanse tablet from the gmc store. Wash your face morning and night before you go to bed with organic soap or a product that has worked for you a little. But your eating and drinking habits are the cure to clearing you acne.

Hi my acne is so bad, I have tried everything there is to try and nothing is working for me. The type of acne that I have as I get older my face is getting holes in it can anyone help me with this bad case of acne.

I am researching the correlation between hair greases, pomades, and oils with acne. I have recently stopped relaxing my hair and in turn started using more moisturizing agents to keep my hair moisturized. In turn my mild acne became much worse. I started breaking out around the time I first began getting perms. In recent times when I wore braids (and moisturized using only a tea tree spray) my face became very clear. I am currently in the beginning stages of loc-ing my hair and I am researching light moisturizing agents to keep my locs from being dry, but keeping my face oil free. If anyone has seen this correlation or is curious please post more information here!!

You should try cocoa butter or shea butter for your skin

I'm an african american female too. If you want to cleanse your colon drink lots of water. If the bumps on your face are just bumps and not acne then that means that there is puss/bacteria trapped under your skin. If that is the case, poke small holes in your bumps and then cleanse your face then rinse thoroughly and apply toothpaste. This has worked for me lots of times. Also try a botanical peel and make sure to go to your dermatologist and ask for medicine
