Acne sufferers, listen up!

Thankfully I dont suffer from acne, but I will tell my two nieces to jump on the forum.

just popped my Q on the forum. looking forward to it

Awesome

I've heard along the grapevine that Papulex is a very good brand.

Looking forward to this forum chat!

pimples are the worst

I have acne and while it's manageable with makeup, it's still depressing to have :( I'm definitely going to be watching on.

Sounds good.

AH i hate pimples/acne. I would love to know the best way to avoid getting them. i know topical treatments which work, but i am generally sick of waking up with a new breakout EACH morning :(

I would like to know how to keep them away. Usually when one pops up it is accompanied by another and another. Plus how to treat those scalp pimples!! I just started to get them when I recently coloured my hair :(

Wish I didn't work at that time every Tuesday night! Would love to be a part of it!

This is great. Acne is really something that can affect someones confidence and quality of life.

Being older now I don't get acne anymore, just the odd one but very scarce. This is a great subject for the younger ones and I hope they all join in.

Looking forward to this forum with doctor's advice regarding acne. I ended up getting treatment from my GP for mine. I take medication that has worked well at clearing my skin. I'd like to know what medications for acne are available and the pros and cons to taking them. How do you best treat a spot once it appears and prevent it from scaring? I'd like to know more about this new brand's offering. I've experienced acne in waves (my skin will be fine for months and then I'll get bad breakouts for months). It's completely confusing and doesn't seem to be related to anything in particular. Thanks, BH. : )

Yes! Thank you so much bh for this 'event', perf. for my annoying skin right now. Will go off and think up some questions. Can't wait! :)

I'm looking forward to the live forum chat this Tuesday!

Thanks BH, this would be a great forum! :)

My Hubby gets really annoying under skin large bump spots on beard area and scalp. I'd love to find out for him how to prevent them.

Still get 3-4 annoying pimples every month, hate them with a vengeance!

I am so lucky I only get the odd pimple now and again. My 17yo daughter has learnt the importance of cleansing and toning daily, her skin is good. My 12yo old son is developing the odd pimple, I think puberty is starting, I am teaching him the importance of cleansing, not touching your face with dirty hands (ahhhh) and using witch hazel and Clearasil spot creams to target a pimple.

Such an important topic to cover. Thank goodness I don't break out quite as much as I used to, but the odd pesky pimple is still annoying!

Great idea!! I don't have all that many pimples at the moment (HORAAAAYY!), but I shall read along to pick up some tips and tricks! :D x

Excellent forum BH. Fortunately I've never had a major problem but can totally sympathise with those who do have acne. There are so many products on the market it would be a mindfield working through them.

Would be great if I lived in Sydney... :(

I am not sure if I would be able to join in,because I'm in overseas atm. But hopefully someone can help me ask these questions in that forum. I am a heavy acne and blemishes sufferer. I don't feel confident and have to apply heavy foundation/tinted moisturiser to make sure these acnes and blemishes are covered. I have tried everything that claims to be able to help clear my skin. They work for abit then I get these acnes back.

1. How do you make sure that I only get the odd pimples?
2. I use rosehip oil. It works,but not fast enough. Would love to know if there's anything else I can do to make these disappear?
3. I get like little tiny pimples around my cheeks and chin. They almost look like white heads. Can I remove them?
4. What are the best ways to deal with pimples? How to treat them? How do you look after your skin in order to get clear skin?
