How do I get rid of my acne?

Veeky Forumsggot here with acne
Cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise every night/morning.
Stop touching your face, I also have my own towel I use for my face and hair that gets washed a fuck ton
Flip your pillows so you sleep on each side less and wash them often
stop eating greasy food and drink lots of water
If you want to, use a face mask. I use lush mask of magnaminty
Go to Veeky Forumss skin care general but they will probably say something similar
If its on your forehead it my be because of your hair, shampoo it more often maybe I dunno? Or you might just touch your forehead alot
Keep up a routine, it will get better with time but you have to keep it up
Fuck accutane.

Oh and shaving for some reason really helps my face, I mean its mostly on your forehead so if it moves to your chin shave often
Alcohol and stress bring mine out so try not to drink or stress out

Don't mean to hijack your thread OP but what about Acne scars?

>tried a whole bunch of lotion and ointments but the chems JUSTed me and fucked my skin up

Don't have a prob with acne anymore cause I wash my face and take the Veeky Forums guy here's advice but I need some fucking help with scars man

Lmao at you high inhibition fags
Just low dose accutane, I ordered mine online, saves you time and money from dermatologists and useless blood tests.

Just lol at faggots who think they will die from accutane. The reason side effects happen is because accutane is treated as a final "all or nothing" treatment, so derms prescribe monster doses of 60mg a day. Just low dose 20 Mg every two days for two months, followed by 20mg every day two months.

Dermabrasion at dermatologist or skincare beauty salon. Dont fall for the dermarollermeme. Add chemical peels if necessary and you are fine.

Nothing worked for me until I started taking zinc supplements. About 50mg a day should do, try this before resorting to accutane. That shit is dangerous

Fasting. That's literally it. Throw your prescriptions out, you druggie faggots.
Check out the fasting threads.

>being this scared of vitamin A

This board is filled with pussies and retards

>muh zinc

Just Lmao at your iq

I also took accutane about 4-5 years ago. Shit was intense but it got rid of everything.
Sadly, my acne started coming back a year ago and now my back is covered with it.

Enjoy your permanent IBS, skinlet.

Accutane apparently

How do I get accutane prescribed to me? If I’m in the UK can I just go to the NHS?

First of all, whatever you do, don't fall for accutane, that's something you don't want to fuck with
Try fasting, drinking more water, zinc, check a doctor to get other medicine for it, just don't do accutane

pretty sure you have to get a recommendation for a dermatologist from a doctor.

Lame

Just order them online you doofus.

>Im a faggot with tummy ache

Lmao at you being such a weak frail faggot who is scared of vitamin a.

Another faggot who is too much of a fag to improve himself

This is all you need to know to avoid side effects

Only Accutane works

Get ye a bottle of salicylic acid and see the fucking acne fade away. This stuff was a godsend when I was younger. Good luck

do low dose

Water fasting.Period.

>all these acne threads
>have never seen another rosacea sufferer
I HATE THIS SHIT, NOTHING WORKS. FUCKING 20 YEAR OLD MALE AND GET DIAGNOSED WITH UNKNOWN SKIN CONDITION MOSTY PERTAINING TO MIDDLE AGED WOMEN.

how do you find them online

Get a scrip for Epidou and drink more water, like a gallon a day. It takes about a month to start working but that shit cleared my face right up when nothing else made even a dent. Can't recommend it enough.

Ok

Get a prescription for

>Epiduo
>Doxycycline
>Cerave Foaming Cleanser
>Cerave PM moisturiser

thank me later lads

Eat less junk sugar, desu. Soda, candy, cut that shit.

If you have dry skin I reccomend the hydrating cleanser instead

Thing that did it for me -
Dietary:
- no processed food, fast food, sugary shit (like soda), also NO WHEY - find something else or eat more chicken I seriously noticed an immediate difference with this
- drink a ton of water

Other:
- get a good amount of sleep (for me like 7-8 hours)
- wash face twice a day
- products I use: ceravae am facial moisturizer, era organics tea tree face wash & face cream (at night)

I should mention, these 3 products are relatively inexpensive on amazon for what you get. also forgot to add that i cut out dairy completely and that did immediately help. I have had this shit bad for so long and cutting out dairy/whey without changing anything else had insane results in only a couple weeks. I'd highly recommend trying it.

Will low dose of 20mg per day work better or should I save my pills and do 20mg every other day like you said? I only have 15 pills for now.

Veganism cleared my skin

>this

I'd rather kill myself than give up meat.

I have autistic skin that rages at everything, I found the foaming cleanser wasn't too harsh, but of course your mileage may vary

TRY BENZOYL PEROXIDE BEFORE MORE EXTREME MEASURES LIKE ACCUTANE

>Conclusions and Relevance The dosing regimen used in the present study is considerably higher than that used in previous studies of isotretinoin. At 1 year after completion of isotretinoin treatment, we found that patients receiving 220 mg/kg or more had a significantly decreased risk of relapse. Rash was the only adverse effect that was significantly more common in the high-dose group during treatment. This study suggests that significantly higher doses of isotretinoin are effective for treating acne and decreasing relapse rates without increasing adverse effects.

>Isotretinoin is the most effective treatment for severe nodular-cystic acne vulgaris, and it is the only treatment option for acne that offers the potential for remission or permanent cure.1- 3 The current literature is divided on ideal dosing of isotretinoin to optimize treatment response. Most studies1,4- 6 support a cumulative dose of 120 to 150 mg/kg to decrease the risk of relapse and retrial. Some newer studies reported lower rates of relapse and retrial with higher doses,7 and others found equal response rates with decreasing adverse effects during lower-dose treatment.4,8- 16 In the present study, we defined relapse as the need for prescription acne medication after isotretinoin treatment and retrial as the need for an additional course of isotretinoin.

>Because different combinations of daily dose regimens and treatment durations are used, study results are difficult to compare. Acne “severity” and “relapse” lack standardized definitions.14,17 In addition, many of the previous studies are limited by small sample size, lack of a comparison group, short duration of follow-up, or retrospective design. To further elucidate the effects of high-dose isotretinoin on retrial rates, we conducted a prospective observational study evaluating a very high cumulative dose of isotretinoin compared with a lower-dose therapy.

Tried that. Just makes skin dry and peel. Pimples still appear.

wos dis semen demon

Rub toothpaste all over your face and leave it for an hour then wash it off

Taylor Alesia she's ugly in all other pictures.

Collagen peptide pill. Heals the skin from underneath to out. Or some collagen supplements. Google it

Can you catch a stronger strain of acne-causing bacteria from somebody else?

This, it wasn't permanent for me but doxy and epiduo worked a treat

Doxy is an anti-biotic. Enjoy getting antibiotic resistant P. Acnes since it's impossible to get rid of it all.

Dood it's gone and stayed gone for a year now, I don't even take them anymore but I'm still occasionally using epiduo.

Enjoy reading meme pop-medical articles while I sit here with clear skin

put a new towel on you pillow every night solves like 90% of acne give it a week

If it's just minor acne that only shows up every once in a while, try using a face wash twice a day. If it's acne that is consistently around and nothing seems to keep it away, take accutane. I'm not going to get in detail, but the side effects are totally overblown. In terms of healing red marks on your face and preventing new ones from showing up after the acne has gone away, use sunscreen RELIGIOUSLY. Keep your skin out of the sun as much as possible. Having sunscreen on for ~15 minutes before I expose my skin to the sun plus wrapping a scarf around my face (sounds stupid as fuck, I know) has completely cleared the red marks left over from severe acne.

>monster dose of 60mg a day
I've been on 60mg a day for the past few months and the only side effects I'm experiencing are dry lips. I was completely clear from acne a little after 2 months. If I didn't take the dosage levels I took, it would have taken me longer. I'd recommend for anyone starting to start with a light dosage and feel it out from there.

Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist. if you can't afford that, sign up for an online one like Curology.

General advice, don't touch your face, especially in the gym. Change your sheets and pillow cases regularly. Buy a decent facial cleanser and moisturizer, like Cera Ve, and use them in the morning and before bed. Avoid dairy products, lower your sugar intake, and drink more water throughout the day. Keep your face out of the sun, and wear sunscreen of you can't avoid doing so.

Anything else you hear is likely snake oil or pseudoscience. You really need to talk to a dermatologist. Adult acne is usually due to bacterial and/or fungal activity on your skin and you're not going to fix it without professional help.

Are you sure its acne and you didn't accidentally eat --blue waffle pussy

How light? 20mg every two days?

Yeah I went to try and get accutane but was prescribed this instead. It takes a little bit of time to work, and epiduo strings like a bitch initially, but doxy + epiduo is working alot

would recommend before jumping onto accutane

If you are not white cut dairy for a month and see what happens. After drinking a glass of milk a day since my teens while struggling with acne till i was 23 this is what worked.

>have really bad acne always
>do a cycle
>ance gets 10 times worse
>use my sisters left over acutane from years ago at 20mg a day for 3 months
>perfect skin
its a miracle drug

Try cutting out acid-based (most supermarket) soap.
I'm on no soap, and on the very first day I noticed oil production all over was down. Week 2, and I'm seeing slow and steady improvements in acne all over my body.

killing yourself

This
Usually antibiotics locally, or systematic, sometimes some, if not enough, then corticoids also.
It can be also cured with retinoids.
Do not listen these shitlords here and see a specialist. If it is mild form he will tell You and direct You to some cosmetician. I have seen people, who fucked up their skin and made some bad permanent scar with using bad cosmetics.

>How do I get rid of my acne?

fast

Finished accutane and surpassed cumulative dosage for my weight

>Skin is perfect
>Eating clean as fuck
>After 1 year acne comes back
>Still experiencing slow healing and paper thin skin side effects from accutane
>Hyperpigmentation takes forever to heal and i get pimples everyday
>HELLO DARKNESS MY OLD FRIEND

Quit asking retards online about how to deal with acne. GO TO A DERMATOLOGIST

Yeah Epiduo works alright for me but not perfect, it also dries my skin pretty badly. On the other hand it does nothing on my back, neither remove acne or causes dryness.

By growing up.

This might sound strange, but go on a water fast for ten days.
One of the most common things fasters say is that their skin is so much better (smoother and clearer).
Requires ZERO products and you can start RIGHT NOW and see results in just 10 days!

>put a new towel on you pillow every night solves like 90% of acne give it a week

enjoy losing 20 pounds of muslce

>enjoy losing 20 pounds of muslce

Complete and TOTAL bullshit. Humans lose a LITTLE muscle over 10 days of fasting. You will probably look MORE MUSCULAR because you will be leaner.

that's just because you're a dyel faggot who already has no muscle

Eat clean and stop putting chemicals on your face. PROBLEM SOLVED

you dense fucking retard, ingesting something your body produces doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to be processed the same way as if your body produces it. collagen will decompose between your stomach and your intestines and will not do shit for your skin.

i would kms

I order them from medicijnen.be, site that ships in all sorts of stuff like cialis, roids, melanotan, xanax,...

I send a letter with money to a dutch address and a week later I get a package with whatever I want. Surely such shady sites exist in every country no? What else is the internet for?

Take one every day m8.

Based. Should point out that I had cystic acne but not a lot, just persistent spots that would not go away. Obviously more accutane the better result yo will get, but people can suffer from side effects with high doses, and overkill it, that's why I recommend lowdosing. If you look like a pestilence sufferer Obviously you need high doses. But 90% of all cases can be fixed with lowdosing

>move to leper colony
>fit in

So...accutane or not?

Don't fall for the meds meme

Unless accutane

If it's only near your hairline then you might be over/underwashing your hair, or using bad shampoo. Also stop taking hot showers and stop showering every day. Also cut out sugar, but you probably knew that already. Don't consume any dairy for a month to find out if it's lactose intolerance.
Accutane works but it's extreme overkill. The known side effects are awful and the long-term side effects are mostly unknown. Antibiotics work for some people in the short term but it's probably not worth the havoc it wreaks on your microbiome.
t. user who had brutal cystic acne from 18-22, tried everything, took accutane, cured for 5 years, now it's starting to come back

The NHS does supply it but only after you've tried every OTC product (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, azelaic acid, some others that I'm forgetting) and 3 unsuccessful courses of antibiotics.

Lame

Lack of nutrients caused by phytic acid hindering absorbtion.

Literally just cut out wheat, sugar, seed oils and beans/nuts.

Eat lots of avocado, sweet potato, spinach, fish and a metric shitton of fresh oregano.

You'll be clear in like 3 weeks if you stick to it.

Literally get on accutane

Any experience with folic acid supplements to help cure acne?

I’m literally sitting in my derms office rn for checkup after the first month and get another prescription for more. Do it. Your skins gonna be dry, your lips are gonna be fucked. The odds of any other side effect are low bud, just do it. If you get them then just keep a close eye on the serious side effects.

stop using hair gel

taking out sugar from my diet changed a lot, thers sugar in so many things you wouldnt think too. now i only eat a little sugar once a week, and dont have much acne in my face anymore

stop touching your face
have a separate towel for your face
shower once a day

I have nose bleeds, dry lips/face and balding without accutane, and lots of acne. What does this mean?

This is literally letting acne control your life

Just fucking get accutane to free yourself of this pedantic bullshit
