Acne Home-Remedies Anyone?

Author: ..before you say "buy proactiv" you have to realize, i have tried that, and every other thing. i have a dr.'s prescription, but i am out, and can't get a new one for a month. My face has gotten ALOT worse, and i was wondering if any of you out there had some free, home-remedies for my acne. i just want to help prevent, and possibly clear up my acne until i get my prescription. i am 14, and very embarrassed by my face right now.
mix baking soda with water to form a paste and leaving it on your face for like 5mins then rinse off. It helps exfoliate and deep clean your pores.
you can also try applying pure honey onto your face leave it on for a while then wash off.. that helped heal my acne quite a bit

This may sound reallly strange, but i had a friend who put toothpaste on her zits at night before she went to bed, and left it on all night. She said it worked!

Are you out of refills? If you are, just make an extra appointment. That’s what I did when I had really bad skin. You get a certain amount of refills with each box. (Normally like 3 after a renewed prescription.) There is not a lot of home remedies that work. Just use a non soap cleanser like cetaphil, and try to use a mask on your face if your skin isn’t too sensitive. A mud mask, or a peel off would be good. I’ve found that since my skin has always been a bit oily, when I wash my face after classes, in the morning, and before bed my skin seems to do better. You don’t want to overwash, but if your skin is oily, it helps your skin, and also makes your face look cleaner.

i was told by a dermotologist that proactiv does not work
it makes you get more pimples
lay off the added salt and sugar
fill up on veg, water and fruit and your good to go.
unfortunately this is all you can do until you visit your dermo again.
i was in the same boat so you just gotta way it out until you can up your treatment.
ride it out with concealer if you must, but remember that as enormous an issue your face is to you, it’s not the end of the world.
you’ll survive.
good luck
