Acne Cream Doesn’t Work?
Posted in Other - Health by: adminMay 26th, 2008
I must be doing something wrong because I have been using Acne cream twice a day, daily and these two pimples won’t go away!
I wash my face before and apply the cream like it says.
Are you suppose to rub it in like lotion or like rub it a little but keep the cream showing?
Any suggestions? I use Clearsil by the way. I probably spelt it wrong.
I have been dealing with pimples for a long time. When I mean 2 pimples, they are big. But I have like 5 little ones. Once they go away, more come.
So don’t tell me to grow up. I have girls always coming up to me to tell me to pop them and how I should get rid of them. But popping them can cause them to come back.

you should try Noxzema and use the cream, but when you wash your face use something to scrub the dead skin off too

Put a big dab of it on there, don’t rub it in, then put a little piece of duct tape over it. Of course, you’ll only be able to do this once a day, at night, but it should work within one night!

Some creams dont work as well for different people. I suggest using Benzaclin (prob spelled wrong), it really worked for me. And i say, just pop ‘em.

try clean n clear in a silver tube with purple cap. works like magic. also get some proactiv if this is a persisting problem and try switching up a lil. ur skin gets used to creams and washes and almost immune to them after a while so its a good idea to alternate so it doesnt get accustomed to one product. also if u wanna dry out the zits put a lil more on them overnight and let it absort, dont rub in. but make sure u dab a light moisturizer on ur face first, otherwise it wont heal properly

You have to use on the spot treatments such as the clean and clear spot treatment. You actually get a tingly sensation when you apply it directly to the pimple. Also you should accompany any acne treatment with internal treatment as well, Buy yourself vitamin E, the tablets, it’s helpful for acne prone skin, it’s also over the counter. .

Vitamin E is good for the skin. You can take Vitamin E supplements and that will work on your skin from the inside out.
Another suggestion is weekly egg-yolk (which is rich in vitamin E) face masks. Apply raw egg yolk on your face and let it dry. Then wash it off with warm water. It’s easiest to wash it off when you’re in the shower.

I use these two ingredients Baking soda and water should do the trick. Baking soda has salt which will dehydrate the pimple or acne which is made of oil (pus white stuff when you pop it) and water. Use some of these products other than clearsil
Proactive is a good acne fighter dermatologist recommended and is sold everywhere now. Oxy pads word great but burn the hell of your face, but goes to show it’s working.
I HOPE THIS HELPED AND GOOD LUCK

I believe you are supposed to rub it in, with maybe a little cream showing, just to make sure you don’t irritate your face further by rubbing.
It maybe - and probably - just that that is not the right cream for you. Ya, I know they say it’s magic, whatever, but sometimes for some people it just doesn’t work. Try a couple similar creams. If several of those don’t work, try giving your face a break, and see if it doesn’t clear up in a week.
Don’t touch your face, if you have hair in your face keep it clean. Wash your face daily, but don’t scrub too hard. Don’t eat a lot of junk food, try not to be really stressed a lot.
All of those things will help cut down on acne and breakouts. Although, the junk food thing might be a myth.
Oh, and if you have oily skin, you could try a face wash/cream for oily skin.

Try an astringant if the creams and other gunk aren’t working, or witch hazel.

Give it some time to work. most acne medications require at least 2 weeks before it work. there is no instant anti-acne product out there.
