I can never get clear skin. I have to admit that I slough off on my skin routines when they dont seem to work overnight, but I am ready to stick with anything if it will work. Please help!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Well, I have got to say that everyone had some great suggesstions. With the many responses about Arbonne, I am going to have to give this one a try. I wrote several names down that offered help in helping me purchase this product. Obviously it will be a couple of months before I can respond with results, but wish me luck and thanks again for the great advise from everyone!

Have you tried Mary Kaye products? I have been using them for a while and my skin really became a lot clearer! The problem is that they cost a little bit more than drug store stuff and I'm in between jobs so I had to start using Aveeno. It also works really well!
Good luck to you!

After many years at the Dermatologist and lots of money spent on scripts, I gave biore a try and have had better luck than the script stuff. I like the ice face wash and the triple action astringent. All found at target! Dr. told me to use over the counter stuff with salicylic acid. It is rather drying in the winter months so I just make sure to use moisturizer AM and PM. My Dr. also told me to only use neutrogena make-up or the mineral based stuff like Jane iradale (sp?) or bare minerals...which I have loved!
being an adult with acne is a pain in the butt!

I am a wellness consultant with Nikken. There is a skin care system that I started using. It uses natural extracts and such.

I break out very easily as my skin is extremely sensitive. But since using this, I've noticed that my skin has a glow to it. I no longer am really oily by afternoon and don't have to keep applying the moisturizer throughout the day like I used to.

Using that along with the water system has made my face so much more healthy and drinking the PiMag water has made me healthier as well some of the other things I do with Nikken.

The last dermotologist I went to told me I did not need moisturizer and that taking my makeup off with Cetaphill in the evening and using Oxy 10 on my face in my morning shower would be sufficient and it has worked for me. I do not have to do a lot of work.

K.,
Congrats on being enrolled in Nursing school! I am an oncology nurse and absolutely love the field of nursing! In response to your cry for help, Arbonne has an acne line called Clear Advantage, it works miracles! Stick with it for at least 2-4 weeks and you will see results, guaranteed- they have a full refund money back within 45 days, even if you've used ALL of the product, I'm not aware of any other company that will do that. Plus you don't EVER have to pay retail, you can get it for 35%-80% off ALWAYS (I'm a huge bargain shopper and never pay full price for anything)-Arbonne's products are Pure,Safe, and Beneficial- they don't use harsh chemicals or dyes- which in reality many people who suffer from acne or skin irritations, it's due to the dyes and chemicals in mainstream product lines- I love that these products are safe for myself and my family- you can check the website www.arbonne.com and browse their products, but remember the prices you see are RETAIL and you would pay wholesale which is at least 35%-80% off, plus these products are VERY concentrated, they last MUCH longer than traditional over the counter products- the Clear Advantage line also has a nutritional supplement that helps heal your skin from the inside out! This business has changed my life, even though I'm a nurse it has allowed me to stay home Full time with my kids- I don't sell or have "parties", what I do is introduce and educate people about these lifechanging products:) So don't worry I won't try to sell you anything or pressure you- just love the products and KNOW you will too!

God Bless,

Hi, K.:)
I just started selling Mary Kay and we have some great products for 'bad skin'. It's why I started wearing it when I was 18! There's Blemish Control Toner, Acne gel and a couple different cleansers especially for blemish prone skin. The make up isn't heavy, either, so it's not likely to clog your pores.
Anyway, I hope this helps..........

My grandmother had the clearest, softest, youngest looking skin and her skin care routine was the same that I learned when I was forced to go to modeling school: cleanse, tone, and moisturize at least twice a day. Make sure the toner (also goes by another name that starts with an A, but I can't remember) doesn't have a lot of alcohol in it. I really like the purple Clinique toner. It's a bit expenisive, but the bottle lasts forever. You may need to wash your face 3 times a day. Also watch what you eat and don't touch your face a lot.

I went to an esthetician and he cleared me right up. While I still have to wash my face everyday, it's only once a day, and I don't use any other products besides my cleanser. I could send you his information if you're interested. It cost me about $100 total.

I am a Clinique gal myself, but I am sure all the other products mentioned are great.. the main thing is that you need to do consistantly is clean your face. Twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. And Moisturize. Sometimes its a hassle.. but you will thank yourself when you get to be my age, 39... and people still comment on how nice your skin looks!

Good Luck!

Hi K.,

I feel your pain. I used to have the same problem only after I had my son. I also am the same way as far as patients goes when you want something to work now! A friend of mine introduced me to Arbonne skin care. I don't know if you have ever heard of it, but it took two days to see visable difference. She let me try it for two days first so I was for sure I liked it. If you would like I would love to let you try it for a couple of days. It's completely changed my skin dramatically.

Hi, I'm B., and I am a licensed cosmetologist. First, you have to use products at the VERY least 2 weeks to see changes. I personally use a line called BeautiControl. It has several different lines, based on age, because our skin changes as we get older. They also have a line especially for acne and/or sensitive skin. I am a rep for them, so if you want to try it, I'll discount your first set, to see if you like it. If not, no obligation to order again. I'm really just a rep for the discount...and I buy gifts for my friends.
Anyway, there was a girl I used to work with that tried the sensitive skin line. She has really bad skin after her pregnancy, as well as a skin condition, exema(sp?). Her face was noticeably less red and irritated and continued to clear up. I shipped a skin care set to a friend in Maryland last month. Her skin got really bad with the environment change from here to there. I sent her a little bottle of "All Clear" too and it has seriously helped her as well.

No pressure, I just believe in the product. Contact me at ____@____.com if you are interested or have any other questions.

I use proactiv. I know some people don't like it, but it's worked for me. It's very mild and will take probably 2 months until your skin totally clears up. I think because I spend more $ on it I'm willing to stick to a routine, so I love it!
