Help. African American With Bad Acne. Help

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 so 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 and 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 ) 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
Called Godiva. Thank goodness I bought yours <3! Just...wow. Thank you so so much!
Best regards and God bless! Didi (AN EBAYER)

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 off with a basic skin regeme and see how it goes. Get hold of some Benyzol Peroxide cream. Start off 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. I've 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 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. I'm 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. I'm very self consious 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.
