How to to get rid of acne or reduce it and control redness?
Im 14 and a guy. My face is T oil. Which means my forehead and around my nose gets oily. Im trying to get rid of my acne and acne scars. I drink lots of water, I eat healthy and I moisturize, I use OXY face wash and an anti bacterial cream. But im still getting acne. I’ve searched but they all recommend buying all these moisturizers and creams and all that junk. I want to use something natural, fast and effective. Can anyone help me?
It’s common for guys your age to get acne. It’s good you are drinking a lot of water and eating healthy. A couple things I can suggest are:
Since you have oily areas, anything with benzoyl peroxide in it will be very helpful. BP is very effective for acne if you use it consistently (3 times / day, everyday). What you don’t want to do is use too much of it to where your skin dries out. (You may notice you won’t need to use a moisturizer.) Be consistent but don’t use a face wash with BP and then a cream with BP in it, etc. (i.e. don’t wash your face multiple times a day and then use the cream with BP on top of it multiple times a day). This dries out your skin causing you to produce more oil.
So, I would wash your face no more than 2 times per day. If you choose the face wash with BP – use it twice a day and then in the middle of the day, you can use the cream with BP once. Also, you might want to exfoliate your skin. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells that clogs pores and could cause acne. For oily or combo skin, I’d recommend exfoliating 3-5 times a week. Again, no more than this is necessary.
It may also be helpful to watch how often you are touching your face – you may not notice yourself touching your face but pay attention in the next couple of days to see if you tend to touch your face with your hands or even with your phone. This could cause dirt to clog your pores.
Most people struggle with acne when they overdo it with their acne regimen so modify it slightly and I think you’ll see results. I hope this is helpful. Good luck!!
If you want to get rid of it use Proactive. My son had acne as you have described in your question. This is a problem you need to be consistent in treating. Problem want last forever. There is no easy solution. Keep looking for an easy natural solution, you will keep having acne. Sorry to hear you already have scars.

I had severe acne on my face. But then I use is Clinical Super Serum and the condition soon improved. The best thing about the serum is that it also fades post-acne marks and scars on the face. I’m still using it and the spots on my face are gradually fading away.
The worst thing about acne is the scars and the marks it leaves behind. Some of the scars tend to disappear with time but some are so grave that it can be disfiguring which may make our heart sink.
The post acne marks is the hyper pigmented or red marks and is called as the post inflammatory marks. These marks take at least 6-12 months to completely disappear. When these marks last longer than a year then it turns into a scar. A number of things could be done to reduce the redness and to quicken its pace to disappear. There are also a number of home remedies available. Following are some of them.
Try the neutrogena face soap. Its a bar of soap for ur face and it works REALLLY well
You are still getting acne and will continue to get acne if you don’t stop using soap and other things on your face.
