My face (4 Viewers)

[Riproot]

My face seems to be getting worse by the day, my pimples are spreading and getting bigger and I have no idea what to do.

I don't want to go on roaccutane or whatever because I don't want to dry my face out and stuff.

But does anyone have any tips as to what I can do?

My face used to be so nice. I wish I had my old complexion.

then smack it up with some facewash and moisturiser.

What is that?
What sort of facewash and moisturiser?

have you tried proactive?

No. Isn't it expensive?

I've been using benzac recently but haven't been regular because of my sleeping habits.

Buff puff that shit. And what strength Benzac have you been using? Try using the 10% wash if you haven't been using it.

I've been using 5% because you're supposed to start with the lower strength ones.
I'll probs swap to 10% when I finish the tube.

I will stand any day as testament to pro active.

it is amazing. Any I think it costs about $60 for a cleanser, toner, lotion and refining mask

and that in it's self is pretty great value. Plus is lasts you a while.

Where can I get it?

doxycycline is a drug administered which controls your hormonal levels - the main cause of pimples.
quite a few ppl took it back in high school and it worked very well.

you can either buy it through the website or there are stalls in pretty much all of the westfields now.

Plus you've got a 60day money back guarantee if it doesn't work for you.

but riproot you have to use it every day to the word and even if your skin gets a little puffy or irritated or worse at first don't stop using it because that it just your skin getting rid of all the gunk and crap that's in your face currently.

You have to use it for at least a month

just go to a pharmacy and get some benzac face wash it is exactly the same as proactive, but doesn't have ~celebrity endorsements~ and is heaps cheaper

it is literally the same ingredient

OR Dr. Lewinn's medic facewash, oil and moisturiser ir really great for acne. really really great. can also be bought from chemists (priceline is best)

I bought the Cetaphil combo pack. It has 15% Benzac iirc, Cetaphil facewash and Cetaphil moisturiser.

Works very well.

Oh and put a fresh towel on your pillow every time you sleep.

Cream called "Panoxyl" - containing 10% benzoyl Peroxide. Gets rid of practically all pimple in a few days and is quiet cheap 5<price<10(depending where your chemist is etc) it WORKS but it also dries out the skin where you put it (but it WORKS FAST)

But doesn't your skin produce oil to compensate for the dryness, thus causing more pimples?

I guess that's what moisturiser is for...

I'll get it if at the end of this benzac I have not improved much.

I have benzac, but I'm not really sure on how to wash my face properly.

I bought the Cetaphil combo pack. It has 15% Benzac iirc, Cetaphil facewash and Cetaphil moisturiser.

Oh and put a fresh towel on your pillow every time you sleep.

a damp towel?
I don't think I can do a damp towel because it will fuck my hair and breathing.

Not a damp one, a dry one to absorb the sebum (as gross as it sounds).

Benzoyl peroxide is the active ingredient, that treats the infection. The rest of the ingredients are what actually improves your complexion and calms irritated overly dry skin. A cleanser isn't going to fix anything if he doesn't actually look after his skin as well.

Not really, my skin remains quite un-oily after application. I like to smother my face with moisturiser after it has dried for a bit, and turns out good as new and gives a real refreshing fell to my face.

Proactive
Doxycycline
Duac

^ seriously 100% no more acne right there

Lol this has also happened to me after I raped my face with all this New Zealand face cream. I think it's dying down now though
