What are some homemade remedies for acne?
I know you’re looking for home remedies but it really would be best to go see your doctor – I agree – don’t waste time with over the counter stuff – getting something on prescription will be much more effective though. I used to have very bad skin and did try home remedies too but nothing helped. The doctor can offer a number of treatments – hope this might help you a little 🙂 Antibiotics or topical treatments like benzyl peroxide will kill the P.acnes bacteria on your skin. Retinoids are available which affect cell turnover and will therefore help to stop pores getting blocked with dead skin cells. I use a topical Retin A gel (also called tretinoin or isotrex) which I’d definitely recommend. It is possible to use more than one treatment at the same time, which may help to get a better result. Just remember that with anything you try you need to allow at least a month to see significant results. The mini pill is also very effective for many girls too – it helped improve my skin a lot
