If it doesn't work for you, go to your doc and ask about claris. It's 6 months of hell but it works...I just finished a round and it does work very well but there are a lot of side effects so I do hope you can find relief in Proactiv! Best of luck!

bastards

My friend ordered it while watchingthe ads on telly in the states.
I think the postage to Uk cost more than the product, but she hated the stuff.. it bleached her bedding, pillowcases and clothes.. it was just like puttingf pure bleach on your skin.. no wonder it can get rid of acne

Hey, if you need a quick fix for a pimple that's coming up or has come up and is still going strong (i.e. you haven't picked at it, but left it, but it's still standing proud and not going anywhere) then clean it with a white teabag and then put some Dettol antiseptic cream on it an hour or two before you sleep. Don't worry about amounts, just whack it on. It'll dry that sucker out (be precise with putting it on the spot) and it'll just end up like a kinda dry, kinda pimple-looking area (but not red) in the morning that doesn't look too bad. You can just put a little moisturizer on it. After a couple of days it'll be gone.

Oh, and if you've picked at the spot/pimple, you can use that steroid ointment folks use for ecsema (after thorough cleaning that is). It repairs the skin with the quickness, but don't use it too often as it does thin the skin.

While I'm here, use white teabags, or better yet loose white tea, with one of those cotton pads, to clean your face after work or if you've been out for a while and feel a bit grimey. It works brilliantly. Those anti-oxidants get directly into the skin straight away.

Use green tea if you can't be bothered to find decent white tea, but white's better.

supermodels swear by a dab of toothpaste, perhaps the peroxide?

ZombieKitten said:

Interesting. But peroxide would only be found in whitening toothpastes (though stuff like Colgate doesn't use it right?) and booster gels. The whitening gel I have is 8% peroxide, which is fairly hefty for just a booster gel. Not sure I'll be putting it on my face anytime soon considering what it sometimes does to the colour of my gums.

sounds like a good idea, I always struggle to find stuff thats natural and doesn't cost half my wages!

It really works. I just make some loose white tea, drink most of it, and from time to time when I remember, save a little and put it in a shot glass. Cool that down, get a cotton pad, and voila! Feels great straight away and makes you feel and look fresh. It's so stupid how I (and people in general) will stress out about this stuff, and the expense of it, when really all anybody needs is lots of water, lots of sleep, and the odd extra little pick me up like the above.

Stick chilled black tea bags over your eyes too if you feel tired and have bags under your eyes. Just freeze 'em after you use them for your regular cups of tea then get 'em out and let them defrost for a little while whenever you think you might want to use them and lie down for 5 mins with them over your eyes.
