Acne

[Sugaree]

I have a question about acne. I use astirgent for my acne and every time I use it I break out worse than before.

Does anyone know anything else that can help with this problem?

All I do is cut down on sugary drinks, and that usually does it for me. Less greasy foods help too!

Anything else other than food lol?

Agreed, cutting down on junk and high fat foods might help some. Though in most teens acne is usually hormonal. If this is the case with the product you are using, the best thing you could really do is ask your GP to refer you to a dermatologist.

I heard once olives are really good for your skin...random.

Anyways yeah don't eat excess sugar and wash your face 1-2 times a day. The reason you break out more when you use it is because the acne medicine brings all the crap blocking your pores to the surface. It's one of those 'things will get worse before they get better' deals because instead of constantly having moderate breakouts, you have one bad one and then are pretty much through. And remember some treatments can take up to 8 weeks to take full effect, so you have to be patient. There really is no such thing as an overnight fix.
