how do you fight pimples/acne?
this question is by far unrelated to yaoi or whatsoever but i had to ask because i am a 20 years old girl who's face cant seem to be free of it. and it does lowered my self asteem. i have tried cetaphil, dalacin t, pills, meet with doctor and such it is quite helpfull but then it come back and now i'm trying the apple cider vinegar. hopefully it will be the resolution. so does any of you share similar stories as mine?
Honestly I think you can't fight acne without knowing why you have acne. mine was caused by oily dehytretad skin and the only things that really helped were properly cleansing my face and keeping it at a normal balanced ph level, spot treatment (I used the la roche posay one) moisturizing properly with serums and moisturizers and ALOT of patience. ...... 3 reply

when you say pills do you mean birth control pills? bc that helped me, my acne problem is hormonal, i don't get it on my face anymore but i still get it on my back, but it's not as bad as it used to be

There are two things I would recomend: One is apple cider viniger, you're on the right track there! Mix it in a 1:1 ratio with Alo Vera gel, put some on one of those small round plasters (also known as band-aids?) and place over each pimple over night.
This doesn't so much work for acne as the mixture will smear off over night so for acne: drink l...... reply
It's from bad diet. If you eat lots or fast foods, little fruit and veggies, or just eat junk food like cereal with milk, it causes acne. For me I got rid of the problem by eating clean for years, but the biggest reason for me was gluten and dairy.

when I was in my last year of highschool my face decided acne was a good hobby to get really into and I went to many dermatologists and spent quite some money into things that never worked long term (I didn't try any tr...... reply
it's not an advise, sorry!!
i don't use anything. seriously, i don't pop them or anything, i just let them be. and eventually they're gone. because of this, my face is almost (there are still few though) free of pimples. using any kind of product on my face causes it to grow more pimple, lol 2 reply
I'm 24 yrs and the pimple has never gone. It's calm down but still be there after all my efforts to treat it. You must try various things until you're find the ones fit you the most. But it's will never gone. Never. 1 reply
