i had a really bad acne problem as an early teen. being that young i was trying everything to get rid of it. what really helped was getting any hair away from my face, like if you have long hair or something. also i didnt touch my face after i scratched my head or anything. your hair is really oily and that might be a small problem. after getting rid of the bad habbits acne stopped appearing. what i do now to stop them from showing up is washing my face twice to three times a day. in the morning i'll get a towel and get it wet with warm-hot water. squeeze the water out then wash my face, not so much scrubbing but more like wipping. then i'll repeat this step but with a cold towel. i do this in the morning after the gym and at night. hope this helps!

the annoying thing is that once you pop it, the wound doesnt seem to heal and becomes a red/light brown spot on your forehead.

hmm.. for me, once it is popped, it may be red for a few hours, but settles down pretty fast, unless it is the odd monster pimple lol

yea they do. from my experience it takes over a week to fully go away (to the point where you can't feel it at all). I don't like it naturally going away because it get to the point where its big and almost unpoppable...

At 25 I would monitor what you are eating.. see if it is more prevalent when you eat certain foods.. Maybe try seeing a food allergist or a Naturopath

Washing your face every hour is extreme. I consider my skin pretty oily and i Only wash my face before and after I get out of bed. The more you wash your face, the oilier your face will get since you are stripping its natural oils (kinda like how people say don't wash your hair too much).

some ppl say that if you don't pop the giant ones, the so called "poison" stay on your face. Dunno if that is true

so how old are you? do u still have acne problems?

[tru_blue]

so a friend of mine has suggested me these 2 products for my situation, has anyone used Clarins men products before?

ClarinsMen Super Moisture Balm (no oily effect)

ClarinsMen Exfoliating Cleanser

[spideyv2]

also, there are two types of acne - cystic and the regular pimples you get

cystic pimples suck, they're huge and you can't really pop them, unless you want scarring

Let's just say I am older than you, lol. I still get zits but the odd one here and there. I had a bit of acne when I was a teen but nothing that concerning. I remember going on a topical solution that was presribed. It went on with those foam type roll on applicators. It was an antibiotic from what I remember. Worked like a charm, but once you sweat, you could smell it lol. And it wasn't cheap.

so by buying Cetaphil, I am good to go? any other products I should use?

im sure superstore has them and no they dont come in packs. I just find using the two in conjunction works best for me (it might not for you). Also, you might not see any results within a week or so but try to keep at it (especially moisturizing before you go to sleep). If it worsens, try different face wash + moisturizer

wow I just googled them up and they are like $24 each so thats $48 for both.

Is that how much they usually cost?

My acne is not really that bad, not like my whole face has pimples. Its just like a few on the both sides of my chin

My forehead has a scar mark since I popped a big one a week ago

Try Shoppers? The 500+ mL bottle of Cetaphil cleanser is like $16 IIRC. They last a while, though.

I found I like Cerave products better than Cetaphil, though. The CeraVe moisturizer (blue one in the tub) is cheap and works great (non-comedogenic as well). It "absorbs" very fast so you don't get the greasy lotion-on-skin-feeling for very long.

I've also moved on to Cerave foaming cleanser instead of the Cetaphil gentle cleanser. I tried both, applied each to one half of my face and the Cetaphil side broke out more (by more I mean like 2 pimples compared to none on the Cerave side).

i might go to superstore later cause they have no tax event today.

does superstore sell Cerave products also?

so is Cetaphil products non-comedogenic too?

[tru_blue]

so anyone here have experience with Clarin mens products? the ones i linked above ^ ?

Never tried them, but those look... really expensive.

If you're looking into exfoliators, I just ordered some of these so i can let you know it goes.

I have the same problem as you. I tend to break out onces in a while and have a mild acne problem i've been trying to get rid of for years!

This is the product im currently using now.. (just started using it not to long ago)
Acne Treatment | Best Acne Treatment | Get Rid of Acne Now!
Its not bad, I havent had any major break outs and its keeping my acne to the min.
(The last product I used shiseido, I broke out like mad.. my face looked like someone shot gun me with pimples)


Key things I find that help
- Sleep (7-9 hours)
- Sleep early! (I noticed when i break up its usually when I sleep late at 2-3am, regardless of if i get my 7-9hours)(My brother reacts the same also, he tries to sleep before 12)
- Water! drink lots of it
- Wash your face morning & night, if your face feels really oily during the day just rinse it with some cold water & pat dry

[Spidey]

a lot of you guys are attacking this issue with medication and "reaction" treatments... You should try cleansing your body from the inside out.

[Excelsis]

Eat like shit and look like shit, best way is to find out which foods work with you and which don't and cleanse your body once in a while lol

how do you clean your body from inside out? shit it out ?

[tru_blue]

Buy Cetaphil products from Canada at Well.ca - Canada's online health, beauty, and skin care store Free Shipping

so I bought these 2 products from Cetaphil at superstore today

*used them both and my skin is so much more smoother now, the cleanser works like a charm

Superstore is cheaper that this online store too ^ $17.99 compared to $21.29

Have you tried Clarins Men products?

If sleeping early is one of the cures, then it must suck for ppl who work graveyard shifts cause they start work at like 2am-9am....they must have mad pimples then

You used the Shiseido cleanser or moisturizer?

are you being serious? it's called eating clean foods, and subtracting foods that are causing your body to react negatively (ie zits and other conditions). aka cleansing.
