   THIS WORKS FAST & CHEAP!!!
   I used Tetracyclin, Proactive, Retina A and had many expensive facials with less than good results.
   This has worked for me and many many other happy people.

   Go to pharm.,Drug store, or Walmart, buy "PURPOSE" bar of soap – Blue box – Made by Johnson & Johnson – wash your face with this
   2-3x’s per day. Also pick up a LOW strength Benzoyl-peroxide cream, apply the cream by dabbing
   to the individual blemishes…. DONT rub it in works using a oxidation/reduction reaction..It will unclog
   dry it out and bring it to a head…DONT over use this or put anywhere else on your face. It will cause drying and make you look worse.

   Salicylates such as found in regular asprin among other products work very similar but also remove layers of skin…
   other over the counter creams with this product will dry out pimples but maybe too hash and cause surrounding skin trauma..
   I have seen many people recommending crushing asprin and making a paste which probably will dry out the blemish but again
   pretty strong and probably will cause more tissue damage and bigger scars as an anti inflammatory
   probably would take the reddness out… again pretty harsh for sensative skin.

   Also, If need which probably will for moisture ASK FOR "NUTRADERM lotion" – the orginal not the new stuff, this works
   great and wont clog pores or leave a residue on your skin…Any lotion that is completely oil free and hypoallergic should
   work but again I recommend Nutraderm. I have heard from people online that "Purpose" also makes a lotion that is good, Nutragena, and Nivea
   make good products also. I recommend Nutraderm from experience and my dematologist.

   "Purpose Bar" & "Nutraderm" are oil free and hypoallergic they contain no perfumes and are great for both men and women.
   I have also heard great reports of this soap helping improve skin tone. Some people recommend the "Purpose luqid soap" saying
   that the bar did dry out their skin some. The rational behind using the bar is that there are no ingredients in it that will clog pores, and
   according to dermatologists they recommend the Bar. I have also heard good responses from "cetaphil soap". These products are safe for all skin colors and tones. I highly discourage use
   of Proactive and other harsh chemicals for people with some natural color in their face due to the bleaching and drying effect it has
   shown in many many people.

   Additonal TIPS: acne, pimples, etc are frequently cause by a bacteria or hormone issues that cause clogging of pores.
   DONT PICK POP POKE (your hands are the dirtiest part of your body) and will cause: infections, spreading of germs, more breakouts and scarring
   DONT EVER listen to people online who tell you to scrub your sensative skin or use harsh chemicals
   such as: Lemon juice, vinagar, alcohol, etc… DONT EVER use that APRICOT CRAP!!! DONT USE
   PROACTIVE- this is expensive and harsh it may kill the bacteria cause also Benzoyl based wash but
   will irritate skin and cause bleaching of face and neck…. Other similar treatments may work.. also
   things such as Accutane but have SERIOUS side effects such as Major Depression, & birth defects in unborn children, among others
   If you wear make up make sure it is oil free, & hypoallergic…Eating healthy…Drinking plenty of water.. changing pillow cases freq.
   etc …avoiding dirty sports equp. such as helmets…can not hurt…Acne/pimples again are caused by pores/hair follicles becoming plugged
   up, this plugging then causes an inflammatory reaction – reddness and infection (pimple)..black head is dirt trapped in pore, while a white
   head is the same thing you just dont see the dirt instead you see white pus (lymphocytes that accumulate in the area to fight the infection)
   It has been shown in many studies this most often not caused by what you eat (chocolate etc… or how clean you are) but most often by either excess oils plugging pores or a bacteria
   on the skins surface. – Proactive works in some people because it is a strong Benzoyl peroxide based washed but is most freq. to strong
   for people with sensative skin – this is why alot of people get excessive drying and flaking, rashes, bleaching or breakouts from the product.
   Retina-A does decrease the bacterial growth on your face but also removes dead/living skin, this can work well in some individuals and
   has been shown to reduce wrinkles and scars but again I feel this is pretty harsh on sensative skin prone to breakouts. If you choose
   Retina-A never use this product during the day only at night due to the sensativity it will give you to the sun. You must also get a perscription
   for this product and I really don’t believe it is worth the damage it does to your skin. In some rare cases for very deep/large boils and cyst types
   of pimples oral antibiotics maybe needed but I would first recommend trying "purpose" and a low dose "benzoyl-peroxide cream" along with a good
   oil free moisturizer "Nutraderm… etc" this does work well.

   THIS WORKS FAST AND CHEAP!!! I no longer get expensive facials, take oral antibiotics, or even NEED makeup… I am very happy – Have
   very good skin… and have many many other happy friends… THANKS again to my WONDERFUL
   DERMATOLOGIST… TRY THIS!! GOOD LUCK…. PS. "PURPOSE" costs about $3 ———————————————

   TO SUM ALL THAT UP—PURPOSE OR CETAPHIL SOAP, A LOW STRENGTH BENZOYL PEROXIDE CREAM, and if needed for moisture something that has no oil in it or perfume in it .. such as NUTRADERM
