Acne home remedies?

So my skin isn't terrible, I have mild acne, but it seems to be getting worse. I was searching for products, but I thought I'd see if anyone used something else, like toothpaste (which by the way is a very bad idea, I wouldnt recommend it). So if there are any home remedies you make yourself, I'd love to know. or if there are any products that really worked for you let me know. Thanks!

NEOSPORIN! Seriously!

    Wash your face.

    Pop any whiteheads & keep the oil at bay, by dabbing/wiping & washing a lot.. until it clears up… and it will.

    grate up some soap and some apples. you should grate about 4 1 inch by 1 inch pieces of apple. add to bowl. then grate up some good old fashion soap (usually dial or irish sring). What ever soap you have at home will be fine. just dont use perfuma soap. add to bowl with apples.then add about 2 teaspoons of honey. then add about 2 or 3 onces of water. its all acording to what size area you are using it on. after you mix it up just about all the way you are going to want to let that sit for about 3 mins.in that 3 mins your going to want to look for a pony tail band or rubber band and a big head band to keep your hiar out of your face. also you have to wash your face with water and soap. when you go back to the mixture you have to stirr it agian. after you do that you will need a paper towel or wash cloth (NO TOILET PAPER IT WILL RUBB OFF ON YOUR FACE). dipp the paper towel into the mixture and rubb on your face. if the paper towel starts to shred get a different one or get a wash cloth. when you are done spreading it around your face/body let sit and dry for about 30 to 45 mins or until just about completely dry.then wash off with luke warm water. if you do this every day once a day your face should look like its starting to clear up.

    i would saying nothing over the counter works… see a dermatologist. they will prescribe you something that actually works ;) besides if you cant afford an Rx lots of offices give out free samples.

    Clean & Clear persagel worked for me, I actually made it worse before by washing my face too much and using too many products. Birth control pills are supposed to help your skin too.

    This really, really worked for me.

    I took an Excedrin (a headache pill) and crushed it up with some water and made a paste. Then I put a dab on each pimple, and slept like that. If you do this each night, you will see changes with in three days.

    It's really a good remedy.

    Alovera. It's best to get it from an aloe plant. There's a lot of products that have it in it but its in a watered down form.

    seriously I used all the "acne" products forever and they made it worse. I started useing just plain dove soap or cetaphil and it all vanished. sometimes scrubbing too much or using harsh chemicals just irritates it further. Its worth a try.

    Toothpaste actually is what works for me. I guess it depends on what kind you use… but your acne could be getting worse becuase of the type of makeup you wear. I changed to MAC and started breaking out, so I switched to bare minerals and my skin cleared. Also try washing your face as soon as you get home to get rid of any makeup or dirt from the day. And NEVER go to bed without washing your face.

    Try mixing apple cider vinegar with baking powder to exfoliate. But if your skin is sensitive you should be careful with what you put on, it might make it worse.

    The citric acid in lemon has properties that can kill harmful bacteria present in acne. A paste of orange peels also cleanses the skin and fights harmful bacteria.Log on to http://tipsfromruby-acne.blogspot.com/ for a few home made tips to heal acne

    I used to have acne really bad and know how you feel. One day I was searching for acne cures and crap I found this website http://www.my-info-portal.com/acne/ haha( I bookmarked it lol )

    Anyway I got the acne free product deal he recommends and my acne literally disappeared. It was crazy. The product i bought guaranteed it would cure your acne in 3 days or your money back. I think it's only like $25 or something

    Anyway, I hope that helps!

    When you wash your face, use sugar to scrub it, at least once a day, for two weeks to rid yourself of acne. Check out http://useinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.
