Question Posted Tuesday September 13 2005, 12:50 am
Hello. I've seen commercials about benzaclin, and also ive seen commercials for differin, both prescriptions for acne. I was just wondering, which ones work better, if i dont want the acne to get worse before it gets better, and i want it to work fast (within maybe a month), and work well, meaning i want my face to be clear and to stay slear. i have about mild to moderate acne, but its just around my chin, lips, nose, and eyebrowns area, better known as the T-Zone. Oh yea, and dont tell me to use proactive, neautrogens, clean n clear 3 days crap, or any of this other acne stuff, unless it works very well because i've tried all of it, the ones ive just listed, and kept a good routine of using the products. i have a whole shelf full of acne products worth well over like 100 dollars, but none of them work! So, to cut it short, differin or benzaclin? And if you could please list why you liked which one. THank you guys so much and il rate you a 5 and leave really awesome feedback...unless youre gonna be stupid. thanks!<33

Sounds to me like something is coming up soon and you want to look your best for it. I do have some natural remedies that may help until you get your answer on the drug issue.
First, there is a glycolic acid product you can get in the drug store that will work wonders. It is called AlphaHydrox. Start off with it at 8%. You can read the percentage on the box. They also have one that is for oily skin. A great mask that you can make yourself is with eggwhites. Yes, I said eggwhites. Simply brake an egg and seperate the yolk from the white. Then apply it all over your face. Leave it on for at least 15 minutes, though, I leave it on for an hour or more. Your skin will feel fantastic. Make an astringent by using 1 part apple cyder viniger and 8 parts distilled water. I even use this to remove my eye makeup. It helps to return your skin to it's natural PH factor.
Now, skin braking out is a symptom of detoxing. You've been injesting foods that are full of chemicals of one kind or another. This is your bodies attempt at getting rid of these toxins. I don't know what your diet is, so, I can't help you with that. But if you are eating commercial meat, for example, it has steroids (a symptom of which is skin braking out), harmones (another break outer) and antibiotics. I'm not saying quit eating meat. I'm saying if you have to eat it make it organically raised. You'll find that it tastes better than the commercial meats and your body will digest it better.
