Hey! I am an Esthetician, so this is what I deal with on people everyday.
Here are my suggestions--
1-ProActive is good (and usually recommended for 26 and younger because some people older then that have bad/too drying reactions) BUT if you are really oily it may be exactly what you want, and may work perfect for you. (I love it and use it and I am 26.)
2-Chemical Peels! Chemical peels are awesome when it comes to breakouts (and aging!). They have helped soooo many people clear up their skin. They are a little uncomfortable, but it is only for a few minutes. And they can be quite pricey. You can get them in Day Spas and Medical Spas.
3- Antibiotics There are some cases where there isn't ANYTHING to do on the outside and it has to be treated internally. A simple antibiotic like Bactrim, Minocycline or Doxycycline will clear it up pretty well.
4- Liver Cleanse Again, some people have so many toxins internally that they need to clean from the inside out. I knew a girl who had horrible acne, nothing could cover it. She started taking drops to cleanse her liver and her skin is amazingly clear now.
These are just my suggestiongs, there are lots more products and things to try out there, but these are the things I have seen the best results with. |
