i need to make a transformation!


Question Posted Friday August 3 2007, 7:31 pm

To say the least, I want to look good for this school year. I have breakouts on my face including acne scars (i used to be a big zit picker XP) and im getting my brows waxed. I don't need too much help with my hair, I think its ok. (I'm getting it trimmed before school starts) I'm a normal weight, and I think I lost a few pounds. So that is ok. Umm, actually the only thing i need help with is my acne! I have braces, but I can't do anything about that... :( so yeah. thanks in advance guys! (o btw, i use st.ives apricot scrub, and then i use benzaclin which is a prescription acne medication. i use it regularly, and im seeing SOME results, but not much.... if anyone has any suggestions, they will be needed!

I use Proactive but i wouldnt recommend it to you its really not that great. U should use the Clearasil that in my opinion is the best face soap i've ever had.


Any of the clearasil like some are made to help speific things.

I just got clean n clear and its also good soo far.

I use Clearasi Ultra and it works really well. You can use it overnight and your acne will have improved. You can get it at most drugstores and places like Walmart. It is around $10.

I've been told that ProActiv works, but it is very drying for your skin.

Hope I helped. :)

an acne treatment you could try is proactiv, believe it or not it really works. if you want something that is a bot cheaper though, and easier to get you could try clearasil ultra or neutrogena clean and clear. these will probably work better than a scrub, as they have a cleaner, toner, and lotion. make sure you are washing your face twice a day, and try to avoid touching your face too much. i would avoid using the apricot peach scrub, because it probably has beads that can get in your pores and clog them. if none of these work, while you are using benzaclin, then you should talk to your doctor about getting another prescription, because you may need something stronger. good luck.

Apricot scrub is not good to use, because the little bits of apricot can clog your pores and cause more problems.

You'll probably hear this fifty million times, but ProActiv really does work. They're having a money-back offer right now. You'll see faster results and it's a complete routine as opposed to just scrub and treatment which will try out your skin.

As for your braces, try playing up your eyes instead (but just a little bit, teenagers don't need smoky eyes) and using a clear or slightly tinted gloss- stay away from lipstick- to move the focus up. Having your hair out of your face also helps.
