Ok so this topic has been up before but anyway, with spots is the hype over clearasil, oxypads or whatever up 2 much or is it true that mild soap and water is the way to go? If so biactol isnt exactly mild is it, so what kinda stuff is? I went to the docs coz I wanted to get sorted as it was affecting my confidence and got minocycline tablets and this Dalacin T lotion but now Im hearing that Benzoyl Peroxide is the best thing to use so is it best to stick with what the doc said or use this? Anyone who knows there stuff and could give advice would be appreicated.......

listen, i suffered from acne for ages and it really affected me and i was basically ruining my life. ive been prescribed every acne treatment possible and nothing seemed to work until now. dont bother with stuff like CLEARASIL and OXY becos frankly, THEY JUST DONT WORK. what u need 2 do is use something like neutrogena acne soap (can be used all over body, good for places like yer back...i used to get bad acne there) and then ask ur doctor for PANOXYL ACNEGEL. its only available on prescription cos its really strong stuff(this stuff works wonders-trust me). Or if ur skin is bad ull doc will refer u to the hospital where u'll c a dermatologist and he/she will get things sorted 4 u definately. Oral stuff is good if u keep 2 it, remember to take it (TRY ERITHROMICIN)
now, i have the most beautiful clear skin and it looks so radiate and lovely !
hope this helps u out,

Personnally I feel good old soap and water does the trick as these brilliant acne stoppers are a waste of money and going to the doctors seemed to make it worse as the pills brought out more spots. The main thing I feel to help is what you eat or drink, drink LOADS of water(recommended 8 pints a day) as this keeps your insides clean and when you sweat it wont be as bad as if you drink sweet drinks or whatever. Also take loads of vitamin C this really helps your skin, you get vitamin C in orange juice or most other fruits. Hope this helps ya <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
Drink water
if u want anything 2 work uve got 2 stick 2 it and if you're a girl, always always always remember 2 take make up off before going 2 bed - the worse thing u can do 2 ur skin is leave make up caked on it.
i cant tell u enuff times, drink loads and loads of water its so good 4 ur skin.
