I use target brand acne cleanser and on the bottle it reads "compare to neutrogena," but unfortunatly I still get pimples on my forehead days later...I don't know. What are some ways to prevent acne?
the only places are only on my forehead and chin...NOTHING on my cheeks

Do you get acne on other parts of your face? If your acne is limited to your forehead, you might want to consider whether any of the hair products you're using (hairspray, gels, even residue from your shampoo and conditioner) could be causing the acne. These products can clog pores and tend to cause acne on the forehead and the side of the face. Try to keep your hair off your face and hair products to a minimum. Some hair products are worse for your skin than others, so you might want to try experimenting with a few.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Cream Cleanser 6.7 fl oz: www.amazon.com Neutrogena Moisture Oil Free Facial Lotion 4 fl oz: www.amazon.com I'm all about ...

I am starting an 8 week dosage of prednisone and I want to know how to prevent myself from getting acne while I'm taking that medicine. I know that acne is one of the side effects from that drug. I took it once before and I got a bad case of acne that was really painful. Thanks in advance.

I also suffered from acne while taking prednisone. I am still currently taking prednisone, but my acne has recently cleared up. I'm blemish free & can't figure out what I'm doing differently.

An antibiotic like tetracycline would probably help with your acne & does not interact with prednisone. I'd ask your doctor about this before beginning a regimen.

Good luck!

I've had acne problems since I was twelve, for eight years. I'm twenty now and its not nearly as bad as it once was but sometimes i have breakouts. I've been on every acne medication known to man, most of it worked to some extent but the majority of oral medications have dangerous side effects and I'm quite sick of the topical stuff, it makes my face so dry and I have heard it increases the risk of skin cancer.
So what can i do to get rid of this acne, Right now I'm just washing my face about four times a day and using clearasil cream every night, but its really messing up the skin on my face. I don't have many acne problems when I use it, though. I've heard all the advice about acne like don't touch your face, don't eat greasy foods, etc. I'm doing all this stuff, but still having some problems. Is there a natural way to prevent this acne?

There are two good ways to get prevent acne without medicine!! One is drink a lot of water because that way you can hydrate your skin and relieve unwanted moisture(sweat) faster. Two, exercise so that way you sweat. When you sweat your pores open up and you wash away the dirt and oil, so drink all the water you want and then some and that should help. Might not always work but hey It works!!

I know one answer will most likely be birth control. The problem is, I don't know how I can get it. I'm 16; If I discuss it with my mom then she's going to think that I'm going to be having sex with my boyfriend (Which I don't intend on doing). I don't have my license either, nor do any of my friends. Is there any way I can prevent the acne, or any possible way of convincing my mom? Thanks all in advance.

Ask her to tale you to a dermatologist. Which is more expensive than seeing an OBGYN to get pills. But I totally understand your situation my mother would have FREAKED also!

I don't want any commercial products or anything. Just simple ingredients I can put on my face that helps prevent acne.

Also what foods should I eat to prevent acne?

Eat loads of fruit, drink pleny of water. Wash with an antibacterial soap. Dont pick at it.

And hot teabags can help. They lift the grease and dirt out of the skin and help prevent the clogging that leads to infections.

I really need some good tips to get rid of and prevent acne! Please help me out!

HoLaLoLa, (love that name!)

Sorry to break this to you but acne treatment products are a scam. They're set up to mask acne, but never prevent it. This keeps people buying over and over again. It's a pretty good scam too because anyone with acne knows that's it's not something you can just ignore! It's really embarrassing and sometimes painful.

There's a lot about acne most of us don't know. It's actually not like some rash or something that can be washed away or treated with cream. The more you know, the easier it is to handle things I say.

Here's a link I highly recommend to anyone dealing with acne. It'll change your life...
