Best acne/scar treatment for a pre-teen?
I have combination skin, and very mild acne(?). I get a couple pimples here and there, but they're usually inflammatory cystes/nodules and leave deep scars. Also, I sometimes I get annoying whiteheads. Gross. And when I get the inflammatory, huge zits, they're front and center in my forehead/T-Zone. Fun. NOT. So basically, I get annoying zits all the time, and I have a treasure map on my forehead. I need a good acne treatment for a pre-teen (12) that isin't expensive. Please, no ProActiv. It's a tad too expensive. I'm looking for something along the lines of Clearasil, Clean & Clear, etc, and exactly what to get from them. Also, if anyone knows a quick fix for old AND new acne scars; quick being 1-2 months or less; any reccomendations would be appreciated. Thank you.
HONEY I USE THESE TIPS WITH ANY AND EVERY PERSON I DO MAKEUP FOR IN THE THEATRE DEPT. AT SCHOOL, INCLUDING CLEANSING MY OWN SKIN!
When it comes to the face, heat is the biggest key. Heat creates an atmosphere for your pores to expand. A hot rag (as hot as you can stand it) across the face is the best bet. As far as a topical treatment, you need to invest in a good scrub and a very fine toner. I tell people this all the time that I do makeup for. Here are some key things to remember when looking for cleansers:
1. A good scrub needs to have some sort of exfoliant (i.e. microbeads, pumice grains, etc.) in it. Once you have applied the hot rag to your face and opened up your pores, the scrub is used to get deep down into the pores and clean them out.
2. In a good scrub, stay away from anything that has a lot of soap or fragrance to it. Fragrance = additives that probably will makes things worse. Your main ingredient when looking for a scrub is salicylic acid. Salicylic acid acts as an antibacterial to cleanse deep to break up the blackheads and fight the bacteria causing them.
3. A good toner should be found because once the skin is clean, the toner is used to tighten the cleansed pores to minimalize the entrance of future bacteria. And sadly to say it (but get over it), A TONER DOES STINK! Its made primarily of alcohol, so it will stink! Get over it! It's worth it!
4. Lastly, and a lot of people don't think about this, find a light lotion with an added sunscreen (at least SPF 15). You want a light lotion (nothing fancy or fragrancy) with a sunscreen to prevent dryness from the toner and the sunscreen will help protect from sun damage (obviously!).
Always remember to catch blackheads before they start (before they become pimples)! And for the love of God: DO NOT PICK AT A PIMPLE IF YOU GET ONE! Picking only creates more infection from the bacteria on your hands....and most importantly: it's just GROSS! Some brands to try for a scurb or toner would be: Oil of Olay, Biore`, Clinique, Clean & Clear, Clearasil.......just to name a few! Also remember to drink lots of water to help keep down ure intake of oils. Oh and p.s. to guys who are reading this: just because girls use it in a commercial DOES NOT mean that a guy cannot use it too! A girl would like it a lot more to see a guy with a clean face and a cabinet full of girly skin care stuff, than Mister Zit next door! I'm gay....trust me on this!

Silk Peel Dermal Infusion - The Newest Skincare Technology
Blue Light Acne Treatment Review by Lee Reid
One of the most occurring skin malady's is called Acne Vulgaris. While this disorder is not threatening to your life, it does cause damage the self-esteem of the afflicted.
Due to the high incidence of acne, there are more treatments than ever now available.
In addition, skin care professionals have become highly specialized. There are medical practitioners who are dedicated to not only curing acne, but can also get rid of acne scars using surgical procedures.
One of the newest methods in cosmetic dermatology is blue light acne treatment, or photo dynamic therapy.
The treatment is simple, as the patient only needs to sit in front of a narrow-intensity blue light for about 20 minutes, once a week. The general length of this procedure is about 4 to 6 weeks, depending upon the condition of your skin problem. The blue light functions at a special wavelength that has proven to effectively eliminate the bacteria that leads the skin to create acne.
A topical cream called Levulan may also be applied in tandem with blue light therapy.
This cream may cause your skin to become pink and very dry, but it is said to be extremely effective when it comes to reducing acne and it's resulting scars.
Using blue light as a therapy first began around 1975, but it has just been recently used as a solution for cosmetic dermatologists.
Benefits of Blue Light Acne Treatment
Blue light acne treatment is still relatively new and the long term side effects are not known.
Despite this fact, there are several positives in using this treatment.
This type of treatment is a great first option over other methods that do have known negative side effects.
One method that is commonly used is to take antibiotics to win the war against acne. However, if you continue to use antibiotics over a long period of time, your body will eventually become resistant to the drug and increase your chances of getting infections.
Another treatment that is often prescribed for acne is called Accutane. It is important to note that this drug has been associated with birth defects and even depression.
Women of child-bearing age using Accutane must have monthly pregnancy tests.
A second benefit of blue light acne treatment is that patients don't have to deal with the daily hassle of remembering to take medications or apply topical creams.
If you have tried several other types of treatment for your skin condition that simply haven't worked, blue light acne treatment is an excellent option for you to explore.
Patients who have become resistant to antibiotics or topical creams now have another choice in treating their acne.
The last good point of is that you can now purchase a blue light acne treatment set that can be used at home.
For an affordable cost, acne sufferers can treat acne in their own homes.
It is still not known if the home treatment is as effective as the clinical treatment.
