How to get rid of acne? Like many other teens of my age, I too, had a bad case of acne outbreak, and just like you, I was desperately seeking for an acne cure. In isolation, depression and after many years of futile effort, I’ve discovered a few remedies based on my personal acne experience and in hope these acne tips could be of great help to those that are facing the same teenage acne problem.
I’m not going to talk about what is acne, just Google for it and you’ll probably find millions of articles related to acne treatment, medication, scars and more, what I’m interested in is the reason for the acne outbreak. Let’s begin with the causes of acne outbreak.
Causes of acne
- Family Genes – Just like me, you can’t do much about it. The bad new is, only age will cure this genetic-acne, apart from that, you best bet is to minimize the outbreak by maintaining a healthy diet.
- Stress – Drink less coffee, sleep early of well, take a deep breath. I’ve noticed acne outbreak occurs frequently whenever I need to rush my college assignments, especially on exam week when I have stressed out.
- Food – You are what you eat, therefore choose wisely. Avoid coffee or any ‘heaty’ food. Again, if it is a genetic problem runs in the family, you can only minimize the acne outbreak, you’ll never fully stop the outbreak.
- Vitamins – Try taking multi-vitamins once a day, vitamin B5 and also Zinc. If possible, avoid anti-biotic, anti-biotic is the last resort because it is bad for health, but if you have a terrible outbreak covering the whole face, do give it a try. The 500mg dosage gave by my doctor does help, within a month, the outbreak stops but it return as soon as I stop taking the antibiotic.
- Tea – Known to have a body cleansing substance, highly recommended by me. Plus, English tea comes with milk, another good source of food for the skin.
Myth and Urban Legend
- 90% of acne outbreak are not caused by dirt or bacteria on your face, it is because of the bacteria IN your skin, not ON your skin. Bacteria formed deep inside your pours, which cannot be cleansed through washing because of blackhead blockage and many more causes them to swell.
- There are no such thing as best acne medication, the best acne products, top acne treatments, best acne cream and all those bullshits. Like I said before, acne outbreak is due to internal health issue and not because of our external health issue, therefore, these facial washing cream, soap, foam are nothing more that surface anti-bacteria product that only helps 10% of the entire acne outbreak problem.
Acne Scar, Spot, Marks, Laser Surgery Treatment
Again, scar remover creams are nothing more that gimmicks. From a logical point of view, if these cream works, why do we need laser treatment then? Fact is, laser scar removal is faster, painless, and the results are right before your eyes. Plus, it is not that expensive, tell me, how many bottles of those scar removal cream you need before the actual results can be seen?

WOW. Too clear up acne. I clean my face twice a way and put a light coat of face cream. Cleaning your face daily is vital to keeping acne away. Wow. Ive seen worst.
I have improved my mild acne scars with a series of 70% glycolic acid treatments.
Now, still have a few lesions , but nothing like it used to be.
well i think that first comment was stupid … people with acne will over wash their face .. WE HAVE OILY SKIN ! I wash my face twice daily and put lotion on my skin ( oil free ) plus i take antibiotics … and birth control..and tanning. In my lotion ive mixed a bottle of tea tree oil … it works great i find . Its quite strong so i only wear it when i go to sleep .. But its helped my skin clear right up ( AND NO PICKING ) Plus ive stayed away from dairy products . But i finally have clear skin:)
I’m not going to lie, that picture cracked me up. :)
Great distinction between the bacteria being IN your skin instead of ON it.
I had acne so bad in high school and the only solution was like oxy pads in the drug store. I only wish I had all these remedies available to me back then.
Good info. in your article. Laser treatments may not be affordable for everyone but it is good to know that there is something out there to help.
Not long ago I began experiencing acne breakouts on my chin. My dermatologist actually laughed at me being 35 and still experiencing acne. What’s a girl to do when her dermatologist laughs at her?
This determined girl took matters into her own hands and began a rigorous routine of research until I came across an oil-free (and chemical free) moisturizers and a line of organic products that I had not tried before.
I purchased a 2 ounce bottle of Made from Earth’s oil-free Rosehip & Hibiscus Face Serum and within days of using it, my chin had cleared up completely and I’ve not experienced any more breakouts as with some other moisturizers. Chock full of certified organic ingredients, 100% vegetarian ingredients, powerful antioxidants free of parabens, synthetics and petroleums, how could my skin not respond in a wonderful, healing way?
Since Made from Earth products are created with certified organic ingredients – they do no harm. Instead of the typical water base used in most product ingredients. While the Rosehip Serum works great, I have now moved onto the “Vitamin Enhanced Moisturizer” which has really made my cheecks real rosy.
I recommend you start with the Made from Earth Rosehip Serum – and then once the acne is cleared up, use the Vitamin Enhanced Moisturizer to maintain that great complextion. Good luck!
Acne can be treated or avoided in one or more of the following ways:
* Washing often with a warm washcloth and soap several times a day. An abrasive soap or scrub is more effective than plain soap.
* Using medication containing benzoyl peroxide for mild acne.
* Avoiding oily greases and creams on the skin.
* Men should soften their beard before shaving and also not shave against the grain.
Mary – I agree – the made from earth products really helped clear out my acne..
I used have such sensitive oily skin! Great comment mary!
I was given the Grapefruit Glycolic Scrub from Made from Earth by my dermatologist to help with my acne and cear up my acne scars. I only wash with it once a day (usually in the morning). It is incredible. It leaves my skin feeling firm and clean. It’s doesn’t dry my skin out, but I suspect it would if I used it twice a day. I’ve been using it for 9 months and it has cleared up acne scars I’ve had since I was a teenager. Not only does my skin look clearer, but it also looks brighter. If you buy this and use it right, you’ll be just as happy as I am.
