The strongest TOPICAL treatment? I only know of Differin. I also know that the stongest medicine overall is Accutane, but I'm way too afraid to use that. Really, I've mostly heard about the pills, but not much about topicals--once again, I can only name Differin right now... Thanks if anybody has answers, I appreciate the help!What is the strongest treatment for acne?
Here are some topical treatments. I've personally tried almost all of them, and all but the Sulfacetamide was too strong for my skin, but it smelled funny and didn't help all that much. So what may be too strong for me may not be for you. Just because something is ';strong'; doesn't mean it will clear up your acne, it can actually make it worse if it irritates your skin. I never found a topical that worked well for me. Finding something that successfully treats your acne is really a hit and miss game, It took me 12 years to find something that actually worked.
Topical Acne Treatments
The most commonly used topical acne treatments include:
A) Benzoyl Peroxide: can improve acne by killing the acne bacteria and by unblocking oil gland pores.
B) Retinoids: This acne medication is used to unblock the pores of oil glands, and is usually the first choice of treatment for whiteheads and blackheads.
Types of retinoids include:
Tretinoin (Steiva-A庐, Retin-A庐, or Avita庐 cream/gel, and Vitamin A Acid庐)
Adapalene (Differin庐 0.1% cream or gel solution)
Tazortene (Tazorac庐 Gel 0.05%, 0.1%)
C) Topical Acne Antibiotics, including:
Clindamycin
Erythromycin
Sulfacetamide
D) Azelaic acid: Has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties
E) Combination topical products, such as:
Topical retinoid with erythromycin (Stievamycin庐 by Stiefel)
Topical benzoyl peroxide with erythromycin (Benzamycin庐 by Dermik)
Topical benzoyl peroxide with clindamycin (BenzaClin庐 by Dermik)What is the strongest treatment for acne?

Proactiv really works very well... try that
Get some tetracycline... but be aware that you shouldn't expose yourself to direct sunlight or tanning beds as you could end up with a serious burn. Wear protective clothing and sunscreen if exposure to the sun is unavoidable.
But first than that check with your doctor. ;)
Clearisil face wash
soap DOVE
I use proactiv its really a good skin cleanser. I use to have bad breakout on my cheeks and stuff, but i havent for a while now. but if you dont want to try that you might want to use clearasil it works pretty good too, but proactiv is the best, seriously.

Is toothpaste really effective in acne spot treatment?
I have a huge date tomorrow and Im all broken out, will toothpaste really help to dry out my breakouts?Is toothpaste really effective in acne spot treatment?
Not if you have more than just a few spots.
Toothpaste tends to dry your acne out, that is why
it works. DO NOT put it all over your face though, because
again, it dries it all out, and you'll be super red.
For spot treatment I put Noxzema on the spots just before
bed and in the morning they can either be poped or are
gone. Just be sure to wash your face in the morning and
several times through the day tomorrow, and don't touch your
face either, that spreads oils.
Good Luck! (:Is toothpaste really effective in acne spot treatment?
Toothpaste is kind of an old wives tale... some people claim it works, but it's usually more irritating than beneficial. With your skin concerns, toothpaste is just a bad idea. It's supposed to dry out acne, but any over the counter zit cream will do the same thing, with less irritation.
No amount of makeup looks better than good skin and no makeup. You can't cure acne but you can control it, and a dermatologist is your first step. If you've already been to one and have no luck, get a second opinion. No one has to ';outgrow'; or live with acne.
Also you need patience (not saying you don't have any) but keep in mind that with every new regimen it can take up to 6 weeks to see any results, and often acne gets worse before it gets better. Good luck :)
Not quite; it just dries the pimple out, if that.
What I use to prevent/treat acne is Clinique clarifying lotion. It's a little spendy, but pale in comparison to the higher-end products like ProActiv, and works wonders for my skin. At the Clinique counter, you can also choose which clarifying lotion system to buy based on your skin type. It works pretty fast too, since it has a hefty amount of alcohol in it.
Have fun on your date, I'm sure he'll think you're beautiful!
Flip the tube over does it say use it on acne ? No.
It is not effective. If anyone has used it with success has gotten lucky. There are plenty of folks that return here severely burned from trying it.
Take some acne wash, and acne cream.
Do it before bed, in the morning and before your date.
No! Try rubbing alcohol if they need drying out.

What is a good QUICK home remedy treatment for acne?
My 14 year old daughter usually has a couple pimples here and there, but now her chin has a bunch of acne cysts - the hard as a rock kind. It's making her self-conscious and she's such a pretty girl that I hate to see her end up with scars. I'm making an appointment for her to see her doctor tomorrow, but we usually have to wait several days to get in. So is there something she can do at home that will provide overnight results? Thanks!What is a good QUICK home remedy treatment for acne?
go to a full service salon instead of the doc, who will only give her toxic things instead of acure....
there are reasons for the breakouts one the chin, black heads are from dirt on the oil duct...she could be doing this by keeping her hands on her chin alot...
white heads represent intestinal illimination so get the roughage going...the forehead has the same answers...but for the large intestinal tract...illimination is the best answer...if the break out is on the cheeks then if white then too much dairy..she is also hormonal so this is also a factor..these reasons tell me, an estetician, that she needs a full service salon instead of a doc...they will help with her diet, and cleansing products that are organic and customized for her skin and not harmful like the junk over the counter.....really no doc needed her...trust me...What is a good QUICK home remedy treatment for acne?

Hi QDuanrgo
Not sure about Zeno, but I do know acne.
Here are some real answers on skin conditions. Remedies at the bottom. Cleansing the body of toxins is the key. Especially a colon cleanse! Educate yourself on detoxifying the blood.
Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - ';What is your skin trying to tell you? Often the skin is a metaphor for deeper issues and a way for your body to send up a red flag to warn you that all is not well underneath. When our skin is unhealthy it is usually a reflection of the internal state of our bodies, and is often a sign of poor elimination of toxins and waste products. Most of us are embarrassed by skin problems such as rashes, rosacea, boils or acne, especially in places where others can see our imperfections. The skin is the body's first line of defense against the environment. It has to deal with the effects of weather, sun , cold, heat, dryness, humidity, scrapes, bumps, soaps, detergents, chemicals, perspiration and dirt of all kinds. It is a wonder that our skin stays healthy most of the time! We can help our skin deal with this onslaught by optimizing our general health and by protecting our skin from harsh environmental exposure. Western medicine generally treats skin eruptions with either antibiotics, cortisone, or antifungal preparations. These medicines may alleviate the skin problem temporarily, or occasionally for good, but do not address the source of the problem. Putting a lid on skin symptoms without getting to the root of the imbalance may even result in suppression, that means the imbalance may be driven deeper causing more serious health problems later without ever strengthening the underlying vital force of the person. Fortunately, naturopathic medicine offers a wide vareity of effective treatments for skin problems.';
Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - ';Your skin is a reflection of how well your body is eliminating the toxins that build up on a daily basis. Chronic skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis stem from a combination of genetic factors, immune stress, dietary deficiencies or sensitivities, and the accumulation of toxins in the body. For our skin to be radiant and clear, it is very important that the other organs of elimination (kidneys, liver, lungs, and colon) are cleansing the body effectively. If not, the skin will be overtaxed, pores will become clogged, and eruptions of one sort or another will result. Here are a number of steps you can take to improve your body's overall elimination wtih specific emphasis on your skin.';
Detoxification is a normal body process of eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. Fasting is the world's most ancient and natural healing mechanism. Fasting triggers a truly wondrous cleansing process that reaches right down to each and every cell and tissue in the body.

Natural Cures
1. Fruits and Vegetables for Acne: Carrot %26amp; spinach, celery %26amp; watercress, grapefruit juices are all useful to combat acne.
2. Unwholesome Foods: Acne, a prevalent problem among teen-aged boys would not be possible in our society if our foods were wholesome. A most sad and disgusting sight is the pus-filled pimples due to inner toxicity --- wastes trying desperately to escape through the face. This condition often turns a gentle face in the blossom of youth into a waste dump of pimples, pus and subsequent pock marks which can be prevented. The tons of acne medications and prescriptions sold annually act only on the effect of the harmful food, and not the cause of the disease, malnutrition. The traditional teenage meal, a grease burger, french fries and a milk shake or cola simply does not provide enough nourishment for anyone, let alone a boy going through puberty to adulthood. Our highly processed foods are devoid of hormones found in fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. Must do a colon cleanse to rid of all the toxins in the body, which eventually get into the blood and cause acne and all other diseases.
3. Cabbage: Apply a lotion of freshly prepared cabbage juice preceded, if desired, by the application of leaves. The eating of cabbage leaves or juice is also helpful.
4. Lemon Juice: Skin problems such as acne... will often respond to a treatment of lemon juice. For blackheads rub lemon juice over them each night.
5. Black Walnut: Externally, Black Walnut is nearly a miracle worker in cases of ...acne, dandruff, boils, itch, shingles, ringworm--we could go on, but you can see that you can use Black Walnut whenever a skin disorder appears! The tincture is an excellent first-aid remedy for wounds.

if you have a zit here and there than maybe but if you have lots it's a painful process treating one zit at a time. But it does work. I've bought it. i recommend that you buy a treatment like clearpres it's much cheaper and works.

Is it ok to use expired acne treatment or any kind of makeup?
Like a year???
I was using mine and just looked at the label and just found out it was expired a year ago...but i dont know if thats good....if u continue using it...what will happen to ur skin???Is it ok to use expired acne treatment or any kind of makeup?
Expiration dates are there to tell you about how long you could expect that medication to do the work it promised (it's efficacy or potency). For make-up the manufacturers usually tell you to replace it at a certain time for the same reason; for instance a liquid foundation may no longer cling to your skin the way it should like flawlessly if that was the claim on the label. There should be no problem with cosmetics but with the acne treatment you might not get the efficacy it used to have. Based on good use practices follow what the manufacturer says on its label.Is it ok to use expired acne treatment or any kind of makeup?
