Keep splashing your face with water, massage it soap at first then rinse it off with hot water, when that's done apply very cold water to close the pores.

Drink tons of water, too.

I'm sorry, but this fucking advice is for people with to pimples on their forehead, this is s not gonna work for something like picrelated

use moisturizer, put a towel over your pillow or change your pillowcase every day, take showers with lukewarm or cold water, wash your face with gentle soap every day, start exercising and eat a more balanced diet. if your acne remains after a year of this consider surgery and/or suicide

>>7908883

not our fault you took shitty care of your face

this is your fault

also

can you please fuck off

There are tons of people with acne in their 20's

OP, I use to have really bad acne back in middle school and highschool. Like huge, pus filled cysts on my face. Everyone is different, and I'm not sure if my advice will help, but here it is anyways.

If you're constantly taking showers or washing your face, stop that. Also, stop touching your face. Resist the urge to pick or scratch at your face. Also, I hear popping zits is a bad habit too and may lead to acne scars.

Funny thing is, once I stopped using any sort of product on my face (acne cream, soap, etc.) my face got a whole lot better. Seriously. I would just wet my face in the shower and that was it.

Also, you really should drink more water. Chances are you don't drink enough. I drink at least a gallon a day. It really helps with your skin and also with your overall health. Same with your diet/exercise. Ever after my face got better, I was still getting breakouts occasionally up until last summer when I decided to get healthy. Now, my face almost never breaks out.

Almost forgot to mention : if you shave, make sure you know how to shave properly. Get a good razor and use aftershave + lotion. When I was a teenager I used dirty, cheap-o razors they would make my skin a lot worse.

when i was a teen i used to wash my face morning, when i got back home.. and once more before i slept.. after i washed my face i used a moisturiser with no added anything in it.. google, Simple Kind To Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser, i ued that and also i used and still use, Simple Kind To Skin Refreshing Facial Wash Gel, it worked for me.. worth giving a try bro

>>7908917

we seem to completely contradict one another lol, it just goes to show everyone's skin reacts differently

>>7908830
I wish I could have afforded Acne when I was 19 :^)

>>7908883

>>7908940

True. That's why acne is really tough to deal with. Everyone's skin is different and it really takes a lot of trial and error to find out what's right for you. And hell, sometimes you're just fucked and you're doomed to be forever ass-faced.

>>7908948

>tfw everytime a pimple vanish it leaves a dark spot
is there anything I can do? ;_;

>>7909009
Keep washing your face with soap and keep it clean, new skin should replace it eventually.
Also water.
Almost every single bit of my acne has vanished, it's just left little red marks on the surface, but even that's disappearing now.

>>7908830
>20
>hairline receding already
kill me

you're on drugs you'll be fine now. they are the only that thing work for a skin condition like acne, anything else like wash your face/diet etc is alternative bullshit

>>7909032
get on fin asap. dont know why i hopped on fin as soon as i noticed my hair had thinned but never took anything for my acne when i was a teenager. what the fuck was i thinking.

it's great that you have already started your medicine. don't get discouraged and look into the future!
the one thing i would advise you to do is using sunscreen. you will probably have hyperpigmentation when your acne is gone and the UV rays are only going to enforce it.
good luck m8, everything's gonna be alright

>>7909009
there are tons of things that can help with hyperpigmentation.

AHA's and retinoids being the best.

I used to have TERRIBLE breakouts. Go to a dermatologist. They will put you on pills or something. So worth it. Don't put it off at all. Seriously. If you have insurance prescriptions can be like $5 a month.

So worth it and you will feel fabulous and confident. Google a place close to you and call and make an appointment right now.

>>7908830
21 next month and still have acne.

>>7908830
Listen to me. Take sugar out of your diet entirely as best you can, stay away from sugar.
Start taking vitamin supplements, most importantly vitamin A, E, and C. You can buy multi-vitamins for skin care specifically with all of these vitamins plus biotin.
Wash your face with this:
>http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=16637&catid=182284&aid=338666&aparam=16637
Cuticura Original Formula Medicated Antibacterial Soap For Blemish/Acne-Prone Skin. Only 2.50 and it's the best soap I use.
Use a moisturizer with salicylic acid. And for redness and scarring put raw manuka honey on your face, I'm not shitting you. It might not get rid of the acne itself but it helps with redness and scarring and everyone will notice the redness going down tell you how shiny your skin is. It's gotta be raw honey. And be sure to get lots of exercise.

>>7909134
don't listen to this guy

next thing u know he'll be telling u that green tea can cure u of aids

>>7909106
srs?

My doc put me on Minocycline (antibiotic, I take it twice daily) but it doesn't work for crap. I've been on it since August. I still have bacne and mild face acne.

Maybe I should just wait until I'm older. I hear it'll go away on its own.

>>7908868
there's no such thing as closing and opening pores stop fucking saying this

>>7909134
you're a retard

it's like people in these threads just googled acne and now suddenly think they have the cure holy shit

>tfw bacne
>I get like huge red lumps under my skin and cyst-like conurbations all over my shoulders and lower back
>been like this since ~14
>nearly 19 now

its so annoying i actually have an ok face/body but this ruins everything pls help

ive been on antibiotics forever it hasnt helped
gf will be never

>>7909217
Are you fucking retarded? I'm not talking about store brand honey in a plastic bear you shit head. I mean RAW Manuka honey
>Honey has been used since ancient times to treat multiple conditions. It wasn't until the late 19th century that researchers discovered that honey has natural ANTIBACTERIAL qualities.
Honey protects against damage caused by bacteria. Some honey also stimulates production of special cells that can repair tissue damaged by infection. In addition, honey has an anti-inflammatory action that can quickly reduce pain and inflammation once it is applied.
It's called UMF, look it up.
>UMF is a quality trademark identifying natural unadulterated manuka honey that has a special unique natural non-peroxide antibacterial activity found only in some strains of manuka honey.
>special unique natural non-peroxide antibacterial activity.
Keep scarring your face with benzoyl peroxide, have fun lookin like shit

Anon I know the feels. I suffered from acne forever, and it seemed no matter what I did bacteria and oil just wanted to hang out on my face.

I tried every antibiotic and medicine except accutane, as well as any combination of topicals you can imagine. Then I found the only solution that has ever worked for me:

Swimming and tanning.

Seriously, try it. Go to a tanning bed 3 times a week at mid-level, and try to swim in the pool. If you don't have a pool, you can do a mixture of water bleach and baking soda to simulate pool water, then just wash your face with it. Lots parts water to very low part baking soda and bleach. Idk the exact ratio because my mom makes it for me (she's a nurse, they use it at hospitals).

Do that and moisturize for a week and check the results. Couldn't hurt trying and it worked for me.

>>7909304
yeah but you also seem to think not eating sugar will cure acne when eating fruit is the best thing you can fucking do for skincare, also nice google-ku retard do you believe everything you read on the internet

>>7909326
yeah wash your face with bleach what could possibly go wrong

>>7909332

like i said, way more parts water than bleach. not like you're scrubbing your face with just bleach. but it does kill bacteria and if you have the right ratio of bleach/water/baking soda it's not harsh on your skin at all.

again, it works for me. my face has never been smoother and clearer.

>tfw clear face but pimply shoulders

I almost made it guys

>>7909367
>pimply

fuk u see >>7909299

ikt clean face feel tho

>tfw vegan, exercise daily, drink 15 glasses of water everyday, never eat sugar, oils, or anything that has an ingredient that I cant pronounce/recognize, wash face with good cleansers
>still get acne

It's just a genetic thing, some people eat chicken wings and drink beer all day and have model tier skin, and others - like myself - can drink one glass of milk and 2-3 oreos and break out in a hive of cysts along their jawline the next day.

Honestly its just life, I don't really care. I could've went on Accutane and in retrospect I SHOULD HAVE, but I'm almost 22 now and even if I got rid of it I would just find something else to mercilessly complain about. Also, I have a receding hairline so there's really no hope for me. I don't even know why I come on this board knowing I'll never be /fa/, but its just fun to be around guys who dress and look well, even if its over the internet.

>going into a salon or dressing room
>looking at your face for 2 seconds and instantly losing any and all self esteem or confidence you ever thought you had

again, its just all 1st world problems, I don't even give a shit anymore, but its just funny how genes, hormones and probability work

>tfw acne at 23 AND receding hairline
Get on my level OP.

>>7908948
It had to happen

>>7909091
i'm not op, but i needed all this positivity

>>7909409
No bruh. stay hopeful, please.

>>7909299
i'm the same as you, I have a 8/10 face but the acne makes it 6,5/10

it destroys me internally

>>7909409
Please for the love of Christ take Accutane.
I was in exactly the same situation as you. No matter what I did, I got TONNES of acne all of my face. I mean more than anyone else I have ever seen in my life. I looked absolutely repulsive and nothing I did worked - it's just shitty genetics.
Then I started taking Accutane and it all disappeared! Every last spot shrivelled up. For fuck's sake at least try it. I reckon Accutane stopped my from committing suicide.

>>7909482
I just don't think its worth it at this point. I've battled with it ever since I was 12 years old. Its all I know. I wake up in the morning estimating how many new zits will have popped up on my face and reckon what I'm going to do about em. Plus, its permanently crushed my self confidence anyway. I stray away from people, never make eye contact, etc. If I got rid of the acne, the mental processes that it invoked would still be there. I'd still be a loser like I am today.

How much does that shit cost anyway? I also have a chronic history of clinical depression so I don't even think they'd let me on it if I wanted to.

>>7909482
idid accutane aswell and it helped. i stopped now but i think i should re-do it since i'm not 100% done with acne.

pls guys. do it.

>spend ~$80 on skincare products
>hardly anything changes, still oily ass face and pimples
>spend $10 on fish oil capsules
>skin completely clear in less than 2 weeks
nigga...

>all the correlation = causation in this thread
Fucking lyl. Hey OP, I bet you're a pretty stressed out sadboii right? Try lifting weights or talking to a psych and getting some medication for that stuff instead. My acne at least is pretty directly related to stress. See if those things work for you. If not and anitbiotics don't work for you then you're probably fucked and you need to keep your face far away from everyone so whatever fucked up strain of resistant bacteria you've bred doesn't get out.

I used to have really bad + persistent acne but after adjusting my daily skincare regiment it's starting to disappear completely. It's on the expensive side, but so worth it.
1. Gm collin puractive mild cleansing gel
2. Skinceuticals micro-foliating scrub
3. Gm collin puracne purifying gel
4. Caudalie moisturizing fluid (use this during the day)
5. Darphin paris redness relief soothing serum (use this before going to sleep)
I know most people tell you to change your lifestyle or take certain medications, but honestly none of that worked for me and I don't have to do any of that with all this stuff anyways

my acne finally cleared up on my face but it migrated to my chest and back

tfw

>>7908868

This is such bad information honestly. Do not wash your face with hot water unless you want your shit to dry out. Using "soap" probably won't work and if you have serious acne like OP seems to have then you should do the following.

>change your pillow sheet every week (or use a towel and change that every week)
>exercise (i'm pretty fat but when I run, in a course of a week or 2, my face starts clearing up)
>drink plenty of water
>fuck with different brands of face wash (see which works for you)

If your face is totally fucked just go see a dermatologist. One of my best friends had the most fucked up acne during high school, and I remember him taking these pills that cleared the shit out of his face. I saw him recently and he told me he doesn't take the pills, but that was the only thing that cleared his face up.

>>7909299
iktf
face is ok and thankful for it, but I have a bunch of acne and scars at the back and upper arms
no thing i tried solved it, i guess i'll be disgusting forever
>tfw will never wear sleveless or low-back stuff

>>7908890
i recommend the towel on pillow thing. It actually works pretty well

just get accutane

it sucks because the scars will be with you forever but at least you can stop it from getting worse

>>7909928
no it doesnt. there's no scientific basis whatsoever as to how that could help someone's acne

Oh yeah, because resting your face on a piece of fabric soaked in flesh, drool, and snot every night is good for your face

>>7909942
not flesh-sweat
Sorry

I think my acne (on the face anyways) would go away if I just stopped picking at it, but it's pretty much an addiction I can't break.

>>7909942
my bed would absolutely horrify you
i dont use a pillow though

>>7909997
try covering you face in something when your at home alone.

maybe aquaphor or some zinc oxide cream, cause they also help your skin to heal faster. zinc is better, it's white and opaque so you won't even see the acne under it.

>>7908830
What medicine are you taking?
