    Nizoral works good on Acne. Try proactive too, it seems to work for P. Diddy and Jessica Simpson.

    You can buy Nizoral 1% OTC, but Nizoral 2% is perscription. But you can still get it over the internet, just do a search. Honestly I would just use proactive.

    the only reason why nizoral interests me is because i have a skin condition called tinea versicolor.. I basically get these small blotches on my skin when I sweat or in warmer months. Unfortuntley I do not have medical insurance anymore and I know the perscription niz cured this stupid problem. I am wondering if proactive has the same effects.. Basically looking to knock 2 birds out with one stone

    i go tanning at least twice a week...my acne is not by any means terrible but I didn't breakout hardly at all my first cycle. I'm noticing alot of Candian pharms sell practically every over the counter drug. Has anyone ever ordered anything from them?

    Dawn is a dishsoap, I use it when I strip the wax off of my car.
    I have done a lot of research on Nizoral 1% and 2%, and have concluded that there is little difference in the two when it comes to DHT blocking. I think I will still try to get the 2% for my cycle, I like to be extra careful.

    i've been using the 1% on my hair, shoulder, and a little on my face and boy does it dry me out.

    now that you've said there is little difference i'll stick to the 1%, otherwise with the 2% i might turn my face into a sun dried apricot

    SEA SALT. I swear this stuff work wonders. Just buy sea salt from the local super market. Put it in a bowl and add hot water sprinkle all over face and neck before nighttime and dry with towel (dont wash off with water). Do this for a week and u should be a lot more clear.

    There is an over-the-counter wash that has benzoil peroxide 10% that I have used and it dries out my back. I got a fairly bad case that got a little out of control and tried all prescription stuff short of accutane. This worked just as good in my opinion. Also, B-5 seems to be working well for me as well. 10 grams a day. You can get it most anywhere, I bought mine at the local Vitamin Shoppe. There are numerous other posts talking about B-5 and several others recommended it to me.

    well u sed acme in your origional post.. thats the company wild e coyote uses to get explosives to kill the road runner lol... but for acne the best thing i have tried that works is taking pantothentic acid (vitamin b5) in large amounts.. like 8 grams a day or so.. it clears it up really well.. as well as using some soap or face wash on your face and shoulders

    The key to a clean face for me is two things..Clearing the old dead skin and the oil..So take a wash rag some hot water and rub some Neutrogena with salicylic acid into your face make sure to scrub getting all the dead skin and oil..Then rinse with some cold water..To take of your backny and other acne on your body, the guys are right dawn dishwashing soap is good stuff..Get it lathered into a backscrubber and give your self a good scrubbing..Then tanning should take care of the red marks..

    Nizoral shampoo at 1% is over the counter at Walgreens and other drug stores. Keep your skin clean with astringents (Neutrogena) to remove dirt and oil. Shower often.

    If you're doing modeling, I doubt your acne is that bad. Also, if you're modeling, you don't have time to try different things to see what works. Therefore, I'll reccomend a book: "The Skin Type Solution" by Dr. Leslie Baumann. Trust me, it's the best 20 bucks you ever spent. Good luck!

    Sure....dont forget wrinkles and skin cancer that i have to deal every day.Tanning is not the solution to the acne.Get a good sport antibacterial soap.But for us soap in not everything that we need,we need topical antibiotic(clendamycin is th most common),some times oral antibiotics or a combination of Benzoyl peroxide wash,the topical antibiotic and the oral antibiotic ...yes the 3 @ the same time.Also during and after the pct acne can show again.

    True,...like you said "horrible natural acne"...but i have many patients that try it and is a waste of money.But for someone that is cycling Pro Active may not work.

    go sit in a spa for 15 min every day. does the trick for me (proactive doesnt work 4 me, the chemicals benzoyle perocside (sp?) and syscilic acid (sp?) made me break out worse, i guess chlorine (sp?) is all that works for me.

    The problem with drying out the skin is that the glands work overtime to re emoliate the skin. This can cause the acne to rebound. It's only a short fix. What you need is to balance the Ph of your skin. You should not be using any soap during cycling whatsoever. That will also effect the PH of your skin. Sorbaline cream is a good soap substitute. You lather it on and rinse it off well.
    It won't strip your natural oils and irritate the glands. Iff you still have problems then start on accutane.

    You can apply benzoil peroxide after a sorbalin wash. You can get it at the pharmacy cheap and did you know that it is the main ingredient in Proactive?
